Knee pain and injuries
There are many conditions and activities that can cause knee pain and injuries. Work injuries may include but are not limited to strains, sprains, contusions, meniscus injuries, fractures, ligament tears, bursitis, and patella (knee cap) dislocations. Examples of work accidents or activities that may cause these injuries include: slips on wet or slippery surfaces, falls, heavy or repetitive lifting and/or carrying, heavy or repetitive pushing and/or pulling, and prolonged kneeling. Sports and other activities such as gardening and housework may also result in these knee injuries. In addition, knee pain may be caused by underlying medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chondromalacia, post traumatic arthritis, Osgood-Schlatter's disease, Baker's cyst, and degenerative joint disease. Conditions such as obesity may cause knee strain and premature degenerative joint disease. Knee pain that is not associated with a specific injury at work needs to be evaluated by the person's personal physician.
May include pain, swelling or effusion, localized heat, decreased range of motion, instability, locking, clicking, popping, and inability to bear full or partial weight.

Can people in heaven look down and see us?
Question: "Can people in heaven look down and see us?"
Answer: Hebrews 12:1 states, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses..." Some understand the "cloud of witnesses" to be people looking down on us from heaven. That is not the correct interpretation. Hebrews chapter 11 records many people whom God commended for their faith. It is these people who are the "cloud of witnesses." They are "witnesses" not in that they are watching us, but rather in that they have set an example for us. They are witnesses for Christ and God and truth. Hebrews 12:1 continues, "...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Because of the faith and diligence of Christians who went before us, we should be inspired to follow their example.
The Bible does not specifically say whether or not people in heaven can look down on us who are still on the earth. It is highly unlikely that they can. Why? First, they would sometimes see things that would cause them grief or pain, namely, acts of sin and evil. Since there is no grief, tears, or unhappiness in heaven (Revelation 21:4), it does not seem that observing earthly events would be possible. Second, people in heaven are so preoccupied with worshipping God and enjoying the glories of heaven that it does not seem they would have significant interest in what is happening here on earth. The very fact that they are free from sin and experiencing God's presence in heaven surely is more than enough to captivate their attention. While it is possible that God allows people in heaven to look down upon their loved ones, the Bible gives us no reason to believe this actually occurs.

Goal: Renew our role as a leader in 21st Century education
Strategic Rationale
To renew our leadership role in education, we must take the lead in innovating for our times, building on existing strengths to respond to new student needs and intellectual developments across the disciplines. Furthermore, we must demonstrate the value of our model, and in so doing, create a new assessment methodology that will enhance our authority and influence in the academic community. Our integrative, cross-disciplinary approach is the ideal basis for creating new curriculum clusters and interdisciplinary courses that respond to new student and societal needs. Recent gifts and grants have positioned the College to make major strides in the areas of Environmental Science and Technology in the Arts, among other opportunities. We are also well positioned to pioneer new partnerships and concentrations with sister institutions in the United States and abroad, and leveraging our connection to New York City.
By raising our profile and reinforcing our leadership role, we will expand our intellectual and cultural influence. In doing so, we will attract and support excellent faculty and a larger pool of qualified students, whose accomplishments will in turn burnish our reputation further.
Strategic Priorities
- Innovate in curricular development, student assessment, technology application, service-learning, and institutional partnerships built on our unique strengths in student-centered and practice-based learning
- Develop a robust, innovative and multi-disciplinary 21st Century curriculum that takes advantage of our model to respond to diverse student needs and new academic developments across the disciplines
- Create a new model for assessing student outcomes, built on our inherent culture of student learning assessment and evaluation, and export this model for broader adoption in the higher education community
- Apply new technology for instruction, collaboration, research and assessment
- Build bridges to the world of work and service beyond the college
- Create new kinds of institutional partnerships that expand our portfolio and increase access to areas of student interest.
- Raise the visibility and recognition of the achievements of the College, its faculty, students, alums, and staff
- Define and develop Sarah Lawrence's institutional identity to ensure that internal and external communications are concrete, consistent, and sufficiently compelling to raise visibility of the College and enhance its reputation
- Pursue national and international media coverage of SLC's unique educational model and its benefits
- Develop media opportunities for the President to position the College
- Expand opportunities for faculty to pursue subject-matter expert roles in the media
- Increase the number of faculty scholarly and creative achievement citations in key national and international media and
- Highlight alumni achievements of note in developing promotional and media material
- Expand communications reach to a diverse group of high school students through print, electronic, social and other media

Data structures are used to store data in a computer in an organized fashion.
Different types of data structures are:-
Stack- Works in first in last out order. The element inserted first in stack is
removed last.
Queue- First in First out order. The element inserted first is removed first.
Linked list- Stored data in a linear fashion.
Trees- Stores data in a non linear fashion with one root node and sub nodes.
The scheme of organizing related information is known as 'data structure'. The
types of data structure are:
Lists: A group of similar items with connectivity to the
previous or/and next data items.
Arrays: A set of homogeneous values
Records: A set of fields, where each field consists of data
belongs to one data type.
Trees: A data structure where the data is organized in a
hierarchical structure. This type of data structure follows the sorted order of
insertion, deletion and modification of data items.
Tables: Data is persisted in the form of rows and columns.
These are similar to records, where the result or manipulation of data is
reflected for the whole table.

HOUSTON, Dec. 19 -- Exxon Mobil Corp. subsidiary Mobil North Sea Ltd. (MNSL) has made a natural gas discovery in the southern sector of the North Sea, 5 miles southeast of MNSL-operated Camelot field, about 32 miles east of Bacton, England.
A second ExxonMobil unit, Esso Exploration & Production UK Ltd., has participated in the production of first gas from Carrack gas field, a Shell Exploration & Production-operated project, also in the southern North Sea.
North Sea discovery
The discovery well found gas in the Rotliegend reservoir and tested at 65 MMcfd through a 80/64-in. choke. Data analysis and additional studies are now being conducted; these are expected to take several weeks, ExxonMobil said.
MNSL is operator of the well with 70% interest and EOG Resources Inc., Houston, holds the remaining interest.
North Sea production
Carrack field, which lies in a remote area about 75 miles northeast of Bacton off the English coast, close to the UK/Dutch border, holds an estimated 300 bcf of natural gas reserves.
The project has been developed around a central 'hub' platform that strattles the field. Four additional wells are to be drilled within the next year, with the capacity for more wells if required, ExxonMobil said.
A second, smaller platform acts as a receiving facility for Carrack gas production. These new platforms and the 50 mile Carrack pipeline will facilitate tiebacks of any future fields or exploration discoveries in the area, the company said.
Shell E&P holds 52% equity interest in the project, with Esso holding 48%.

Heidi Klum Goes Topless, Shares Naughty Bedroom Secrets
Heidi Klum sure knows how to keep things spicy!
The supermodel and Project Runway host, 38, doffs her top in the August issue of Glamour, showing off her enviable bod in nothing but a pair of J Brand jeans, a Patricia Underwood hat and Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses.
PHOTOS: Celebs who've posed nude
The German-born stunner -- married to Seal since 2005 -- also shares some tips for keeping things hot in the bedroom. "There's nothing wrong with a nice garter belt," she tells the mag. "I'm not saying you have to put up a pole in your bedroom and start swinging off the rafters. But I love that sometimes! My husband and I just had a 'sexy week' in London. I'd put on a super-short skirt with a garter belt on underneath so that when I'd sit, he could see it. It's fun to sauce it up a little bit."
PHOTOS: Hollwyood's most romantic couples
The mom of four adds that she's "always" in awe of her 48-year-old husband's looks. "He's even hot when he's sleeping. He's a beautiful man," Klum gushes. "He's kind, he's a gentleman, and I watched him last night onstage, and he still rocks it. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's my man!'"
PHOTOS: Klum and other best-dressed celebs
Klum admit she's had a crush on the singer from the first time she laid eyes on him. "We were sitting in the lobby at the Mercer Hotel [in New York], and he came in from the gym. I was very attracted to him immediately. And I said, 'Where you going? You should just stay here with us.' He said, 'I'm sweating -- I have to go take a shower.' And I'm like, 'Good, take a shower and come back.' And he did."
PHOTOS: Love lives of supermodels
"I'm not someone who plays hard to get," she explains. "This whole thing about 'Oh, let's exchange numbers' and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don't see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once."

DAMASCUS -- When Southwest Georgia Academy Athletic Director David Byrne got the call, he was surprised -- but then again, he wasn't.
"When we got word, I couldn't believe that one of our kids -- from tiny ol' Damascus -- had been chosen for this award," Byrne said. "Of course, our kid was very deserving."
That "kid" was none other than former SGA three-sport star and school salutatorian Parker Adams. And that "award" was the Bigger, Faster, Stronger High School Male Athlete of the Year.
Adams was chosen out of a pool of thousands of kids nationwide by BFS, a nationally renowned and accredited weight training program since 1976 that teaches high school student-athletes the secret of reaching their strength potential without the use of steroids.
BFS was first introduced at SGA several years ago by former SGA coach Beau Johnson, who nominated Adams -- now a freshman at Troy -- for the honor before leaving this past season to take a job in Taylor County. The qualifications and requirements for the award were both athletic and academic -- and Adams easily fit the billing for both.
"One of the requirements of being eligible for the BFS High School Male Athlete of the Year award is being a good student as well as a great athlete. Parker Adams is great in both, excelling in multiple sports and having the second-highest GPA in his class," the BFS organization said in a press release announcing the award. "He was the president of the senior class and won numerous academic awards. To name a few, he won the Outstanding Student Award in Precalculus and American Government, the Early County Historical Society Scholarship Award, the Scott Widener Scholar-Athlete Award, and the Bank of Early County Scholar-Athlete Award."
The press release continued: "The culmination of these academic accomplishments was receiving a full academic scholarship to Troy University in Troy, Alabama. Athletically, Parker was the Region 3-AA Basketball Player of the Year; he played in two all-star basketball games and scored over 1,000 points in his career. He was (also) all-region in GISA baseball, region champion in the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles at the Region 3-AA track meet. And to top it off, he received the BFS "Bulletproof" Award by attending the most BFS workouts in the summer of 2010."
Adams, who scored a career high 42 points his senior season, graduated from SGA with a 4.1 weighted GPA. He also played third base for the baseball team and was a star hurdler on the track & field team.
Adams, who decided not to pursue sports at Troy and is instead focusing on academics -- he's majoring in criminal justice and is considering joining the U.S. Coast Guard -- told The Herald on Tuesday he was beyond honored to receive the award.
"When coach B called me, I didn't believe it at first because he's always messing with me," said Adams, who also received a three-page spread in the upcoming BFS Magazine telling his story. "But he said it was for real and I was just really happy because I put in a lot of hard work (in the BFS program) and it was nice (to see it recognized)."
Johnson, a clinician for BFS for years, said he couldn't imagine a better student-athlete for the award.
"Parker is an outstanding young man," Johnson said. "He worked hard and got respectable numbers for his body type. He is exactly who we are talking about when we talk about the 'Be an 11 athlete' (which is the highest level that can be achieved in the BFS program). He's an awesome kid with great personality."
Byrne wouldn't disagree with a word of that.
"Parker Adams is by far the best student-athlete I have ever worked with in my years of coaching," said Byrne, who started coaching at SGA when Parker was a freshman and is now the A.D., and boys and girls head basketball coach.
Byrne says he remembers early on in Adams' career when Adams was small and uncoordinated as a freshman and struggled on the court, scoring only three points his entire first season at SGA. But when Adams was introduced to BFS that summer, all that changed seemingly overnight.
"That summer you could begin to see a change in his attitude. He began to spend more and more time at the gym. By the summer after his sophomore year it was like we were looking at a new kid," Byrne recalled.
Adams said the BFS workout regiment changed him from the inside out.
"The program focuses on three core lifts: squat, power clean and bench press, and then there's this stretching program that really made me a lot faster, quicker and more flexible," Adams said. "I noticed the difference right away."
Byrne said Adams never missed a workout the rest of his career, and he always made sure his teammates were making their lifts as well.
"He led by example on and off the court every single day. Everyone on the team looked to Parker for advice and leadership, and he took on the role without a complaint," Byrne said. "When things were going bad, I never had to worry about talking to the guys about it because I knew that Parker was going to handle it. He would gather the guys before practice and discuss what was going on. While I was having the girls practice before the boys practiced, Parker would have the guys in the locker room watching game film on the next team. Not once did I ask him to do these types of things -- he just did them because that was the type of player and teammate he was."
Byrne recalled an example of how much the players wanted to play well for their captain, and that occurred during their last regular-season home game. The Warriors were facing region top dog Brookwood, and the game was tied with less than six seconds to play.
Byrne will never forget what Adams did next.
"Parker missed a jump shot, and junior Dillon Driver tipped the ball in as the horn sounded. When Dillon was interviewed about his game-winning shot, all Dillon could say was he was glad that he was the one who could hit the shot that allowed Parker to win the last home game in his career," Byrne said. "Everyone just wanted to do good for Parker because they knew how much he put into it. The hours he spent in the gym just shooting by himself on weekends showed his commitment."
Unfortunately, Adams' story -- at least as far as his athletic career goes -- didn't exactly have a fairy tale ending. In the region title game against Brookwood -- SGA's first appearance in a championship game in 20 years -- Adams suffered a concussion after coming down hard during a rebound attempt and wasn't allowed to return. SGA lost that game, then Adams wasn't cleared to play by team trainers the following week when the SGA opened the state tournament. The Warriors were knocked out in the first round after an overtime loss to Heritage.
"I was satisfied as a whole with my career, but I definitely think about that moment (of not being able to play in the region title game and in state) a lot," said Adams, who finished his SGA career with 1,034 points. "The highlight for me would have to be reaching my 1,000th career point, but I always wondered what could've been -- how far we would've gone -- but I had to accept it. After all, better safe than sorry."

This is an easy and delicious way to prepare a whole chicken. The classic way to make this meal is to roll tin foil into balls and perch your chicken on the balls to keep the chicken out of the juices so it doesn't boil. I decided it would be more efficient to kill two birds with one stone and wrap baking potatoes in tin foil and include them in the night's meal. Any leftovers can be made into twice baked potatoes or potato salad.
Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken with Baked Potatoes
3 or 4 large potatoes
vegetable oil
whole chicken
Clean and dry the potatoes. Rub them with oil and salt. Wrap them in tin foil and place in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub with your favorite seasoning (I used lemon pepper on this one). Rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Place breast side down on the potatoes. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8.
You know your chicken is done when the the juices run clear in the wing and thigh area. Or in this case, you can just look at the poor wings and see that they are falling off the bone!
Remove carefully, because it will fall apart (as mine did), to a bowl.
Remove the potatoes and drain of liquid. Peel tin foil off to reveal delicious potatoes.

Christians are pushing ahead with plans for a ring of prayer at the eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange, even if the bailiffs are sent in at night-time.
Occupy London Stock Exchange are likely to be evicted from their camp near St Paul's Cathedral, within the next few days. I am determined to be praying at the camp as the eviction happens. Along with others, I will attempt to form a ring of prayer.
Christians are continuing with plans for a ring of prayer at the eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange, even if the bailiffs are sent in at night-time
Legal action by the City of London Corporation to evict the Occupy camp at St Paul's Cathedral is "draconian", the Court of Appeal has heard.
A group of clergy, academics, and church-related figures have written to the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral in London, asking them to make clear their opposition to a forcible eviction of Occupy supporters from outside the Cathedral.
The following letter is being sent this week to the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral, with a copy to the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres.
Police in London have moved in to evict Occupy supporters from the empty UBS building which has housed the alternative 'Bank of Ideas' project.
Quakers in Geneva have spoken out strongly against the "unethical behaviour" of banks and other financial institutions based in their own country.
Occupy London has left the office block it took over at the weekend, after finding out that it was indeed in the process of renovation for domestic use.
Occupy London, itself battling eviction from outside St Paul's Cathedral, has repossessed Roman House, an abandoned financial services office building.

Thoughts On 2Pac's Coachella Performance
Shock, love, and a bit of fear were the first thoughts that came to my mind when I watched this video of 2Pac's hologram performance at Coachella last night.
When I first heard that during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's set there would be a hologram performance from the late, great Tupac Shakur, I envisioned a screen producing lasers a lá Minority Report but nothing like this. I was shocked at the realism often doubting that it was just a video and that the organizers of the festivals had Anthony Mackie record himself but that vanished when Snoop Dogg was standing side by side with the image. I wouldn't say that 2Pac is my favorite rapper (I'm a Brooklyn boy), but seeing this hologram also gave me hope of more performances in the future.
Will I get to see Notorious B.I.G. perform on tour? Will Drake do a collaboration tour with Aaliyah? Can we get Kurt Cobain to do another Unplugged? I hope some of these questions are in the process of being answered so that it truly will mean legacies never die.

Bike Insurance Recommendations
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Anybody got any recommendations regarding bike insurance - who is cheapest, gives best service, best bolt-ons?
Home insurance from M&S covers you for bikes. If you can switch it might make really good sense. Otherwise, I was paying something like £160 a year to insure a £1700 bike. Mind you, London.

A Tesco home insurance policy covers your cycles too. They use exactly the same underwriters as Direct Line, so you know you're in good hands. I found M&S too finicky over claims in the past. But if you go to a specialist for exclusive bike insurance, it will cost you a premium price. Better, if you can, to get it in your home contents cover - but ... if it's a bike worth £3k, or more, you will have to get specialist cover. Check out British Cycling for advice. They are very, very good. Call em on 0161 274 2000, or see em on www.britishcycling.org and see what they have to say.

Thanks for all the advice. The M&S policy looks favorite due to the value and number of bikes.

You might try Teachers Assurance (you don't have to be a teacher). We had four bikes stolen from our garage and they sorted out replacements with no fuss at all, and all with House and Contents insurance. And they are cheap!

This topic made me register on the forum. I need an advice I guess. I just moved from the United States and will be living in London for the next 3 years(work related). In the USA I had two bikes (a road bike and a mountain bike) which I insured with Velosurance. When I googled insurance companies , I found that in UK there is a company called Velosure and there is one in Australia as well. I thought I was safe and my policy would just be transferred from USA to UK, but it turned out that these 3 are completely different companies that just happen to have similar names.
I can't say that my bikes are safe now, since I dont even have a garage at the moment. Which of the UK companies are the most reliable and quick to sign up a new customer? I have seen both positive and negative posts about any company I looked up, so I am confused. Need some help please.

Judging by the huge smile on her face, AnnaSophia Robb seems to really be enjoying working with Austin Butler.
The pair were snapped filming scenes for 'The Carrie Diaries' outside the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
The actress looked stylish in a black and white zig zag coat and silver coat on set on Thursday.
And whilst the pair looked like they were getting on well when the cameras were off, it seems all was not happy on set as their characters argued loudly with each other.

Finally! A NEW message. A NEW approach.
Founded by Randy Haveson, this web site was designed for today's university student
and administrator, although the concepts explained here can be
applied to anyone who chooses to drink. Whether you're looking
for an alcohol speaker
for your event, help
for yourself or a friend with an alcohol or other drug problem,
resources for a paper
or project in school, or if you'd like to keep up to date
on current research
in the field, this web site is for you. Do you need posters
for your residence halls or fraternity houses? How about "wake
up call" cards for those who need help? You can also
get your questions answered in the "Dear Randy" section
of the monthly newsletter.
And please let us know if there's anything else we can add
or modify to meet your needs.
Alcohol education has been replaying the same theme for the past
20 years…and it's not working any more. "Just
say no" doesn't work for most college students. It's
time we had a new message, a real message. One that not only makes
sense, but works! Finally that message is here. "Party with
a Plan" using the "Know the Code 0-1-2-3" guideline
gives students who choose to drink the tools they need to use
alcohol in a safe and low risk manner.
Now there's a new program that doesn't preach to
students about what NOT to do, but rather what they CAN do. How
to drink and not worry about DUI's, fights with friends,
or dropping grades. How to place a reasonable limit on drinking
that draws an accurate line between those who drink and those
who get drunk.
with a Plan" alcohol education risk reduction program using
the KNOW THE CODE 0-1-2-3® guideline will revolutionize the
way college students look at the consumption of alcohol. The creator
and presenter of the program is Randy Haveson, who brings to this
program over 20 years of experience as a therapist, university
health educator, professional speaker, and recovering addict.
Randy's teach, not preach approach to this topic has been
widely accepted and appreciated on campuses across North America.
Students see his method as non-threatening, sensible, honest,
and logical. Even non-drinkers appreciate the message!
Social norming shows us that how you present information is vital
to how it gets through to students. By putting the focus on the
positive, you get more attention and more acceptance than highlighting
the negative. "Party with a Plan" using the "Know
the Code 0-1-2-3" guideline does the same thing! It shows
students how to make good decisions regarding alcohol and a solid
guideline to follow.

Letter: Power to frustrate
Ed Frick, Naples
Power to frustrate
When you are in your 80s, you become extremely sensitive to problems with movement.
Of particular note, I speak of electric carts in large retail operations. What senior citizen — who has had to rely upon electric carts to shop — hasn't experienced indignation resulting from the use of those carts?
How many times has one resorted to an electric cart, only to discover that it had a tire so warped that you experienced a ride never to be forgotten?
When backing an electric cart, when hasn't the maneuver sounded more like a garbage truck? How many times have you had a cart "fizzle-out" on its charge — often in the far reaches of a retail operation?
Or, has anybody ever found an electric cart that has an accommodation for a cane? If so, where?
There is one consolation: although it would seem most electric carts are poorly maintained, you can be assured, on checkout, the cash registers function with the precision of a fabled Swiss watch!

Teen charged with vandalizing Illinois church 3 times
Catholic World News - February 13, 2014
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with vandalizing St. Patrick's Church in McHenry, Illinois three times in the past eight months.
In June, a statue, light post, and air conditioning units were vandalized, causing $3,000 worth of damage, according to CBS Chicago. In July, the same items were damaged, as well as a picture and window, causing $5,000 in damage.
The teen's arrest follows a February 5 incident that caused more than $10,000 worth of damage to the statue.

POTSDAM Streams of shoppers headed to the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerces Craft, Food and Wine Show on Friday even before the doors officially opened.
Weve already got calls from people who want to sign up for 2014, said Alison M. Power, tourism, marketing and outreach coordinator for the chamber. Among crafters, this is huge.
Last years show attracted 5,400 people.
Well get a crowd no matter what, said Jo Ann Roberts, show organizer and a vendor herself with her business, the Nut Shop International. People love this show.
Rebecca L. Caruso, Massena, agreed the show is a favorite.
This is the one craft show I look forward to coming to, she said, ticking off the vendors she was visiting for food dips, fudge and other goodies. Definitely the cheesecake on a stick.
The show concludes at 4 p.m. today.
Admission is $3.
The 120 local and regional vendors spread through the rink area of Clarkson Universitys Cheel Arena and the main floor included a number of newcomers, many of whom said they were attracted by the good buzz among other sellers.
Green Mountain Mustard, Richmond, Vt., sold 10 jars of mustard within an hour of the opening.
We really like shows in New York, said proprietor Michael A. Adams. New Yorkers like mustard.
Spruce Mountain Designs, jewelry inspired by nature, Lake Placid, was also at the show for the first time.
Weve heard a lot of great reviews from other artists, said Suellen McMillen. Its a difficult show to get into. Theres a waiting list.
Booths offered blankets, wood products, handwoven scarves, wine, hand-blown glass, country crafts, jewelry, pot holders, yarn creations, recycled wool products, repurposed silverware, pickles, jams and maple-infused cotton candy, among other goods.
Ive come maybe nine times. I like to see the variety, said Marie T. Swanson, Canton. I was looking for stocking-stuffers. Most of my Christmas shopping is done. Its just great to get out and see all the possibilities.
Claire M. Bohannon, Claires Country Garden, Alburgh, Vt., came with cases of homemade dilly beans, corn relish, mincemeat and jams to sell. Her pickles and relishes are made from vegetables grown in a 2-acre garden.
Weve done this show for four years, and weve done very well, she said.
Her business got its start with a dozen jars of pickles and dilly beans at a craft show.
My late husband did not want me to work outside the home, and Im very energetic, Ms. Bohannon said. Eight years after I stated, we were making 15,000 jars a year, and were making more than that now.
The show is one of John J. Fredericks favorites to sell wine from Hazlitt Vineyards, Seneca Lake.
Weve been coming to this at least seven, maybe eight years, he said. This is a great show. They do a wonderful job with all the vendors they have.

Bus criuse to create heart awareness in women
The Queen of Heart campaign, India's largest awareness drive on women's heart health, recently launched The Queen of Heart Express, a unique initiative in India that will connect the largest network of cities through a bus cruise for the first time for Heart Diseases in Women cause.
Dr. Anjan Lal Gutta, DM Cardiologist, Peerless Hospital, flagged off the Express in Kolkata. Many eminent cardiologists like Dr. Sunip Banerjee, Dr. D Kumar and Dr. Tapas Roy were also present to grace the event.
Queen of Heart Express conducted theatrical street play performances with themes focusing on heart diseases in Indian women, its atypical manifestations, and prevalence in Kolkata. Free counseling was provided to the citizens of Kolkata.
Flagging off the Queen of Heart Express, Dr. Anjan Lal Dutta, DM Cardiologist, said, "It's not just that heart diseases are on an alarming rise amongst women, the fact that it is considered more of a men's disease is making large section of our society to overlook the symptoms in time.
"This calls for steps to address the urgent need for such large-scale initiatives, which could not only connect with people from all walks of life but also engage them through a unique awareness drive."
Dr. Tapas Roy, DM Cardiologist, said, "Changing lifestyles of modern women and negligence towards preventive measures are important reasons behind the rise of CVD. Hence, there is a need to spread awareness amongst the masses and make them aware that heart disease is not just a man's disease."
With a recent WHO factsheet revealing that every four seconds a woman dies of causes attributable to heart disease, and American Heart Association suggesting that almost two-thirds (64pc ) of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms, the Queen of Heart campaign has spun the wheel of awareness around women heart health in the country at a decisive moment in time.
The Queen of Heart Express was flagged off by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on the eve of World Heart Day.
The Express intends to cover a distance of 20,000 km through India, thereby reaching out to more people in far flung areas across country and touching more than 2 lack people.
After being flagged off from Delhi, the Queen of Heart Express reached Jaipur, covered Ajmer, Kota, Jodhpur and Udaipur.
The bus then stepped into Gujarat, the first stop being Ahmedadbad, then moving on to Rajkot, Surat and Baroda. Next the express forayed into Maharashtra, starting with Mumbai, then Pune and Mirag Sangli , also covering Panaji, Goa.
It then reached Karnataka starting with Mangalore then Mysore and finally the capital, Bangalore.
It ventured towards the south with Tamil Nadu, starting with Chennai to Coimbatore, then Andhra Pradesh starting with Vijaywada, Secuderabad and Hyderabad. After covering Madhya Pradesh successfully the Queen of heart express has entered the City of Joy on Nov 17.
The entire campaign is designed to amend the conventional mindset of common people and sometimes even that of healthcare professionals, that 'heart disease is a men's disease'.
According to experts this is one of the major reasons to overlook its symptoms, which are often atypical, and a key contributory factor in making heart disease one of the most misdiagnosed and undertreated disease among women.
According to recently conducted survey "Visualizing the Extent of heart Disease in INDIAN women", VEDNA intending to map the trends of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Indian women, in last five years 54pc of cardiologists observed a 16-20pc of overall growth rate in cardiovascular diseases among women, which quite high as compared of men.
More surprisingly, a whopping 41pc of the doctors, who participated in survey, claimed an alarming 10-15pc growth rate in cardiovascular diseases among the age group of 20-40 years, the category of women which was earlier considered 'protected' from heart ailments.
The Queen of Heart campaign, an initiative of Biocon, supported by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Public Health Association, Help Age India, FICCI Ladies Organization, and Heal Foundation, is focused on spreading awareness, busting myths, and on making a case for sustained interventions to deal with the burgeoning incidence of heart disease in Indian women.

Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome (SSDS)
There are more than 1,400 household products in different forms that can be used as inhalants to get high. Some of the commonly used inhalants are glue, gas, nail polish remover, spray paint and paint thinners. Some of the ways in which inhalants are abused include:
- sniffing directly from the container, can or bottle
- heating the solvent and then inhaling the vapours
- putting the solvent into a bag and holding the opening of the bag over the mouth and breathing it in
- huffing (putting the inhalant on a cloth and placing it over the mouth)
- inhaling from balloons filled with nitrous oxide
Inhaled chemicals are quickly absorbed through the lungs enter the bloodstream and then are distributed to the brain and other organs.
Inhalant users usually consist of people who don't have access to other drugs or alcohol, such as children and teens. Inhalant abuse is most popular among children and teens. Even though there are different ingredients in inhalants, they produce similar effects by slowing down the brain function and leaving the person in a drunk-like state of mind. It is also much easier to get hooked on inhalants because of their availability and low cost.
Statistics reveal that:
- 10.1% of 8th graders have abused inhalants at least once in the past year
- 5.6% of 10th graders have abused inhalants at least once in the past year
- 1.5% of 12th graders have abused inhalants at least once in the past year
Inhalant abuse, especially in children and teens, is an alarming issue due to the number of deaths associated with its use from sudden sniffing death syndrome (SSDS). SSDS is heart failure resulting from an irregular heartbeat usually caused by stress or strenuous activity after using inhalants. It is thought that the inhalant drug makes the heart increasingly sensitive to the effects of adrenaline. Usually, the user has been startled (possibly because he or she has been caught), or has engaged in rigorous activity following the use of the drug; collapse and death follow.
It is important to understand the risks associated with inhalant abuse and to inform parents and their children about SSDS. In order to reduce and prevent SSDS, parents and teachers must start to acknowledge this issue and inform youth about the dangers of inhalant use and SSDS. Even though there is an increasing number of inhalant abusers, rehab programs are limited due to overall low demands for treatment. Increased awareness about solvent addiction can help to increase support resources for those who need them.

Beautiful Highland Country Club is located just ten minutes from downtown off the Bellevue/West View exit. Highland's widest fairway (number 8) would be the narrowest fairway in the United States Open, at just 28 yards, where it is also very difficult to control iron shots from the heavy rough. Also on number 8, there are some large hills to contend with, and a perfect level lie is difficult to find. As a result, you'll be able to score well only with accurate driving and iron play. The course is very challenging! Mr. Emil "Dutch" Loeffler (1894-1948) of Oakmont supervised the building of the greens. Highland Country Club was opened for play on July 3, 1920. In the course of more than two hundred years, the club is just the fourth owner of the rolling green hills and lovely grounds known today as Highland Country Club.

Divisional OOB as of 31 October 2013
This Iraqi Security Force (ISF) update provides a summary of changes to the ISF during October 2013. The Iraqi Security Force Order of Battle is updated as of 31 October 2013, however it remains by request only due to copyright infringement. Requests are by e-mail. Changes reported include:
- Training underutilized due to operational commitments; Under strength Artillery Brigades have been established in all IA Divisions; Division Intelligence expanding to Battalion; HET Transport Battalion reported in 9th Armor Division for first time.
- Southern SOC Exercise; Unconfirmed reports of initial Russian Mi-35 deliveries in October.
- Ten 7 meter RHIBs produced for Iraq.
- New Mech Brigade in 4th Federal Police Division?
Iraqi Army
The 2 October Khaima includes an article on training. Only half the training availability has been used this year due to operational commitments which indicates the Iraqi army is overextended and need to add 2-3 divisions to fulfill its commitments. Key items mentioned in that article were:
- The biggest complaint received is that not the correct personnel were sent on training programs in the past. We aim to change this by sending the soldiers for the specialist training programs.
- We are supposed to train 79 battalions, but in reality only 36 battalions were freed from operations to be trained. Also 80 companies were trained, spread across 9 locations.
- With the current locations and capacity we can train the entire Iraqi army in 4 years. [If utilized.]
The 9 October Khaima confirmed that all of the Iraqi Divisions now have an Artillery Command [Field Artillery Brigade]. However, these brigades only have 2 of the planned 4 Artillery Battalions per Division. The Artillery Command HQ also has an Artillery Brigade with 3 Artillery Battalions that acts as a strategic reserve to strengthen units on a need basis. This Brigade has 2 roles – it is the Artillery Training Brigade and is the first of 8-12 planned Army-/Corps-level Artillery Brigades.
The 9 October Khaima also mentioned 12th Division's Intelligence Battalion. Only 3 IA Divisions have been identified as having expanded their divisional Intelligence to Battalions.
The 23 October Khaima reported that 9th Armor Division's Transport and Logistics Command has established a Heavy Transport Battalion. They have specialist repair teams with the units in the field to ensure that all vehicles are able to complete their transport duties. It consists of 4 transport companies and the HQ in Taji. Every company has 11 heavy tank transporters.
Iraqi Aviation
The 30 October Khaima reported on the Southern Sector Operations Center Air Defense Command exercise in October. Participants included the ADC commander, Chief of Central Operations of the ADC, Commander of Ali Air Base [Tallil], Commander of the Ali Flying Wing, and a number of pilots from 70th Squadron. Aircraft made approaches from multiple directions and altitudes to test the radar systems. Also tested were the communications systems of the ground controls. 70th Squadron also launched Hornet 71 targets in the direction west of Samawa. Targets were detected at altitudes from 100m-350m.
While there have been conflicting reports of initial deliveries of Russian helicopters in October, as of 31 October, no new helicopters have arrived in Iraq. [This may indicate the initial 4 Mi-35s have completed construction in Russia but have not been transported to Iraq during October. Delivery has different meanings depending on who is talking. The manufacturer considers delivery to be when they are built and locally accepted. The receiving country defines delivery as when they are accepted in their own country.]
Iraqi Navy
The Iraqi Navy is accepting delivery of ten 7-meter aluminum RIBs. They will be serving as patrol boats and as tenders for larger vessels. [See above paragraph comment on delivery.]
Ministry of Interior
A Mech Brigade has been reported as assigned to 4th Federal Police Division. This could mean the 1st FP Mech Brigade has been attached to 4th FP Division or that a new FP Mech Brigade has been formed in 4th FP Division. Each FP Division is expected to have a light Mech Brigade eventually but only 1 has been confirmed existing in the Federal Police at this time.
Nice to have you back. Good to know that you didn't throw in the towel completely with the blog. Looking forward to read your updates
Carr (11/12/2013 10:05:03)
I never left. As the Fair Use article said: "I will continue to publish monthly updates of changes or significant events as well as service specific updates." But the OOB itself is by request only...

I know, I read it and I completely understand your position. I just had the nonsense feeling you might not continue. Again, thanks for your hard work

I read an article in the Daily Mail on this diet. Everything I read sounded like the way I felt about and acted with food...the binge eating especially!
I lost 3 stone on slimming world up until May last year, then I went on a couple of holidays, had various weddings, the miserable winter, and then Christmas came....I'm now a stone heavier than May 2012.
I ordered the book from Amazon as soon as I'd finished the article and it arrived on Monday.
So here's my diary so far.
B 2 boiled eggs
L 50g (dry weight) brown rice and homemade ratatouille (tinned toms, toms, peppers, celery and courgette)
D Chicken breast and salad (celery, cucumber, carrot and lettuce)
I snacked on carrots and celery and drank decaf coffee and herbal teas
B 2 boiled eggs and 2 rashers of bacon
L chicken. bacon and egg salad (celery, cucumber, carrot and lettuce)
D 50g (dry weight) brown rice, beef and homemade ratatouille (tinned toms, toms, peppers, celery and courgette). Read that I can use stock cubes, which I was excited about (lol)
Im feeling tired, but I feel straight asleep last night, I normally takes ages to drop off. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow and see how its going. I was 9 stone 12.5 on Saturday morning when I weighed at my slimming world group.
I think once I've finished phase 1, i will use phase 2 rules, but maybe slimming world foods. I dont know if I will ever be able to use actual oil, or even LARD!! That might be pushing it too much!
I think having followed slimming world for so long, Ive defo picked up a food intolerance. I was basically eating the same stuff, not necessarily every day, but certainly eating the same stuff on rotation each week.
I'm interested to know how others are getting on.
