My seasonal job as a painter/apartment cleaner ends this week, and boy am I relieved! But as with anything in life, there are always lessons to be learned…
Yet as hard as the job was at times, I'm walking away an older and somewhat-wiser person. I really think you can learn from any job you take on, no matter how much you like it. So in addition to how to get a paint stain out of carpet (press a wet towel against it with something heavy, and leave it for at least a day), these are the lessons I learned from cleaning up after other people:
1. You have to be your own advocate.
No one's going to look out for you if you don't look out for yourself. Period. It sounds harsh, but the main person with control over your happiness and satisfaction at a job is you. Whether you work in a cubicle or in a field, you can't expect other people to be looking out for you one hundred percent of the time. You work at a job — you're not attending a daycare facility.
I'll pair this harsh rule with a harsh story, just to make my point. One of my coworkers and I were once cleaning the apartment of a person who was recently evicted. He was an alcoholic, and his place was filthy. Just riddled with food, garbage, dust, and bodily fluids I really don't want to mention here. We took measures to protect ourselves (masks, gloves, long clothing, etc.), but somehow a kitchen knife poked through a garbage bag and stabbed me in the leg.
I had a choice to make: Should I go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot, or should I keep on working with a scraped leg? The cut was very shallow, so it was really my call. I made the better-safe-than-sorry choice, because I didn't want to risk really getting hurt. It paid off — I ended up just fine, and my work even ended up paying for me to go to the hospital. But I had to speak up and say, "Take me to the hospital!" Because on the job, your voice should be the main one determining your well-being. No one else is going to do it for you to the same extent.
2. You can't be afraid to say "Bugger Off!" To The Rest Of The World.
One of the worst things I did while working this summer was not take better care of myself. I felt far too obligated to spend time with other people (whom I loved, don't get me wrong!) that I put aside my own well-being. While recovering from a hard day's work definitely includes an occasional cocktail with my journalist pals or an episode of Doctor Who with my boyfriend George, it also includes ridiculously long showers and lip-syncing to "Hey Mickey!" in secret during George's nap (don't tell, Lovelies!). I didn't realize that spending time with just me, doing just what I wanted to do after an entire day of following a task list created by someone else, was exactly what I needed!
3. Set your limits, and stick to them.
The apartment complex I was cleaning was also the same one I lived in, which made for some very awkward situations. In general, my rule was this: anyone from work could call or text, but no one came to my own apartment. That rule was broken a few times by one of my coworkers, and I didn't hide that I was surprised that she came by. Over time, her visits grew more and more brief.
But there was another rule I learned to hold to: If I said I wasn't available, I wasn't available. I drew that line right away because I knew my sanity depended on it. Think about it: If your employer could literally knock on your door at any time of day and ask for your help on a project, wouldn't you be a little harsh about boundaries? I just didn't want a situation like Dante's in Clerks…
4. Be Honest, But Don't Be Overly Dramatic.
The day I could finally say out loud, "I really do hate my job" was so liberating. Just saying that I was thinking and not holding it in anymore was so liberating. But over time, I conveniently forgot to mention to people that most of my coworkers were nice, that I enjoyed being handy and that it was fun to actually do an honest day's work. You know, the good parts of the job. The fact that most of the job stressed me out tainted the entire impression I gave of it. It was such a negative narrative that the good parts just slipped on by…
Sure, certain jobs suck. But no job could possibly suck all the time. No one would take it on if it did. It could be the worst environment ever, with the most obnoxious coworkers and the most demanding bosses. But maybe the pay is really good. Maybe there's a certain security guard in the front of the building who always asks how your day is. Maybe there's a guy in the cubicle down from yours who mixes playlists for the rest of the office to listen to all day. You have to remember to tell the whole story (or at least close to it!) whenever you're talking about your workplace. Just for the sake of accuracy!
Poor, poor George. Almost every day I'd come home smelling like excrement and Simple Green, and I'd let loose about every single thing that had stressed me out at work that day. A toilet was clogged. I had to spend an hour scraping the inside of an oven. I ran out of paper towels and had to cut off my work shirt's sleeves to make rags so that I could finish wiping the floor so I could come home. All this in an exhausted, poor-me tone.
Granted, these were legitimate things to vent about. But ranting about every single thing to one person was and is not the proper way of releasing tension. If someone loves you, they'll probably do their best to be supportive during your time of need. But using one person as your 'rant buddy' changes an entire relationship. It makes them feel like your therapist, not your friend/parent/partner.
This isn't to say you should stifle your feelings if you're wading through a crappy job. That will absolutely destroy you, I guarantee it. But you shouldn't trust all of your inner peace to someone else. I'd save the "entertaining segments" of my day to tell George ("There's a really brilliant mural in the apartment across the way! Who knew?!"), but I'd do my best to take my peace into my own hands. I'd watch a lot of movies. I'd blog. I'd wear my favorite jammies and lay across my bed like Cleopatra for a while. And I felt better.
I don't write this post about my job to knock people who work in manual labor jobs. On the contrary, if I learned anything as a painter, it's that I could never ever do this stuff for a living. Those people are complete badasses, and are so tough that it is no longer a surprise to me that an entire holiday is devoted to them. This job mostly sucked (in my opinion) because it was structured poorly for the company's needs, and because the team was vastly understaffed. Had conditions been different, I'm sure my feelings about the job ending would have been much different.
All the same, I'd rather be a fish-pale writer who spends the entire day holed in up in a desk or cubicle. And I'm now more confident about than ever about that.
What was the worse job you ever had? In the end, were you glad you took it?

According to Ma electrical code, do you have to tape wire nuts?
According to Ma electrical code, do you have to tape wire nuts?
I would sure hope not, taped wire nuts are a sure sign of DIY work. The only time I put tape on my wire nuts is if I am making a joint with big wire(#8 or bigger) and joints within a pump or motor to prevent it from coming off with the vibrations.
You should NEVER have to "tape" wirenuts. Properly installed, wirenuts do not need to be taped.
Certainly not part of the NEC. I built a cabin in MA back in the 70s, and it was not a local requirement then. And I seriously doubt it is now. It is considered amateurish by most pros.
Here's to hoping the worm can doesn't pop the top.....

But the zany story isn't the only great part about this show.

While many new top-your-own concepts expand throughout the country touting themselves as the "Chipotle of pizza," there is now an actual "Chipotle of pizza."
Chipotle Mexican Grill announced that it has partnered with restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson to launch a new concept called Pizzeria Locale. The first restaurant is located in Denver and is based on a full-service pizzeria by the same name located in Boulder, Colo. Pizzeria Locale opened its first fast casual location in partnership with Chipotle in May and is exploring options for second and third locations in Denver.
Pizzeria Locale's menu includes 10 pizzas, four American classics, or customer-created combinations from a selection of ingredients presented in an interactive service line. According to a news release, pizzas are then fired in a high-temperature pizza oven that bakes the pizzas in less than 2 minutes. The restaurant also serves salads and sides including prosciutto and meatballs. Red or white Italian wine is available on tap.
The original Pizzeria Locale in Boulder opened in 2011 and was created by Frasca Food and Wine founders Stuckey, a master sommelier, and executive chef Mackinnon-Patterson. The full-service restaurant is inspired by traditional pizzerias in Naples, Italy. The new Denver restaurant has similar features, with a Chipotle-like service format.
"Bobby and Lachlan are extraordinary restaurateurs who truly understand what it takes to provide an exceptional dining experience," Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle, said in the release. "I have known them for years and I thought their pizzeria in Boulder presented the perfect opportunity to collaborate. Opening Pizzeria Locale using a model similar to Chipotle allows us to make extraordinary pizza, made with high-quality ingredients accessible to everyone."
Pizzeria Locale's design features dark woods, white tiled floors and walls, marble accents on tables and the pizza-making station, a special dough room that holds dough at 72-degrees and a custom-developed pizza oven.
"(Ells) has been a friend for 10 years, and for many of those years we have talked about collaborating on something. With Pizzeria Locale, we found a project we were all passionate about and we couldn't be happier than to have a partner in Chipotle that shares our vision of making our pizza accessible to more people," Patterson said. "Through this partnership, we can continue to run Pizzeria Locale with the same energy and passion we've always had, but can also look to Chipotle to help with some of the challenges that can become distracting for a restaurateur."
Pizzeria Locale joins ShopHouse as an additional concept that provides future growth opportunities for Chipotle. Chipotle currently operates six ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen restaurants in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles with additional restaurants opening in the coming months.
"While both Pizzeria Locale and ShopHouse are exciting concepts, it's important to remember that our growth will continue to be driven for the foreseeable future by expanding the Chipotle brand within the U.S.," Ells said.
The company plans to slowly grow Pizzeria Locale to find the right service model. Stuckey and Mackinnon-Patterson's other ventures, Frasca Food and Wine and the original Pizzeria Locale in Boulder, Colo., are not part of this partnership and are not affiliated in any way with Chipotle.

I've been doing my best to research a bunch of bikes before buying a new one - not that I've even decided I will definitely get a new one. I've come across some funky similarities that make me uncomfortable.
I've been looking at bikes in my price range like the Kona Dew, Fuji Absolute, Giant Sedona, and Jamis Coda. I've been looking at reviews for their components; they use Shimano C-Series, Altus, Acera and a lucky few have Allivio for derailleurs. The Fuji uses SunSeries.
For the Shimano C-Series, I can't find anything at all. Can someone tell me what this is?
For the Shimano Altus, the reviews are from people with Walmart bikes! My $400 bike is going to have the parts of a Walmart bike? Agh! Why not just pay $200 less in that case?
For the Shimano Acera, I can't find it listed on the Shimano website; that makes me suspicious. I did find it on a bike website for only $24 though.
My mountain bike has SRAM 5.0 for most of the drivetrain, and so far it's so-so. It has a Shimano Altus on the front derailleur, and I have to say it is extremely hard to adjust - much harder than the SRAM.
I'm just not sure what to think. If anyone has an recommendations on any of these models, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not really understanding what these bikes have so much more of than the cheapies at Walmart, except of course being put together correctly. Any ideas or recommendations?

Former Eminence City Council Member and 2010 Mayoral Candidate Shawn Bright has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
Bright was arrested Wedenesday, April 20, at 12:05 a.m., after Eminence Police Department Officer Phillip Parham spotted "Mr. Bright northbound on Main, crossing the center line the width of the car," according to the arrest report.
Austin Hunsaker said his Henry County Wildcats have recently lost focus on the baseball field, resulting in two losses in their only games last week.
Mental mistakes, Hunsaker said, have been an issue lately. After winning four of five games, the Wildcats lost to Owen County last Monday night, 9-8, then to Christian Academy-Louisville on Thursday, 9-2. They entered this week at 6-8 overall record.
A majority of the games during the last two-week stretch have been canceled or delayed due to the weather, and since that time the Wildcats have back pedaled.
Brandon Mitchell pitched his best game this season, his teammates backed him with no errors on the night and Bradley Foree drove in Eminence's only two runs as the Warriors beat visiting Berea last Tuesday for their first win of the season.
The Warriors lost their first six games to open the year, but were able to put it all together against a Berea squad that entered the game at 7-2.
With important games due up for the Henry County softball team, coach Matt Wright said his squad is starting to play well at the right time.
What is at stake for the Ladycats: another North Central Kentucky Conference championship, a sixth straight 31st District title and a first-ever 8th Region crown.
Continuing its best-ever start, the Eminence softball team bounced back from its first two losses of the season with two big wins last week.
The Warriors opened the season winning their first four games, then lost two before beating both Sayre and Kentucky Country Day last Tuesday and Thursday nights for the 6-2 start.
The site on Henry County's track Saturday morning was not what it was planned to be when the April 23 date was set for the Wildcat Relays months ago.
I had it highlighted on my calendar, and was looking forward to what was going to be the largest track meet in the county.
There were supposed to be team tents set up around the track. There were supposed to be athletes running laps, jumping, throwing, passing batons. The stadium was supposed to be full of yelling spectators. The starters' gun was going to be emptied of all its blank bullets.
One of the most prolific passers to ever come out of Henry County has decided to play football at Thomas More College, making his choice to play for the Saints official on Friday in front of family, coaches and friends.
The topsoil shift at Lake Jericho dam is a 'surface slide only,' according to a state official.
The ruling from the Kentucky Division of Water's Marilyn Thomas meant the evacuation order for Sulphur was lifted, and residents could return to their homes.
The tiny town of Sulphur has a long history of flooding. And because of that history, and the steadily falling rain for the last week, Henry County Emergency Management Director Bruce Owens has had his eye on Sulphur since Saturday.
Henry County Emergency Management will be testing the One-Call Alert System at 7 p.m., today (Wednesday, April 20). Monitors are located throughout the county which will be contacted after the test to check how many phones were activated with the alert.

A majority of philosophers nowadays hold that the practice of assertion is governed by the rule that one must assert only what one knows. In his last published paper, Paolo Casalegno sides with this view and criticizes rival accounts of assertion on which rational belief or rational credibility will do for warranted assertion. We take issue with Casalegno's criticisms and find them wanting.

|Broncos boys' basketball team starts season with two wins
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

The Wauneta Breeze
The Wauneta-Palisade boys' basketball kicked off its season with wins last week over Wallace and Brady.
WP hosted Wallace Thursday to open the season.
It was a low scoring contest early on. WP scored only two points, by Chase Rathe, in the first quarter, while allowing eight to Wallace.
WP found its stride in the second quarter. By the five-minute mark, the Broncos held an 11-8 lead after baskets by Cash Yearous, Tyler Davis and Rathe.
Though Wallace tied the game at 11, WP outscored the Wildcats 7-4 down the stretch and held a 18-15 halftime lead.
Three pointers by Yearous and Greg Gaston helped WP extend its lead in the third quarter. WP helped it cause over the eight-minute stretch by hitting eight-of-11 free throws. Davis made six-of-seven from the charity stripe in the third quarter.
Leading 36-27 to start the final stanza, WP score six straight points over the first 1:30 of the fourth quarter. Gaston found Rathe for a layup, then made back-to-back baskets for the Broncos.
Wallace chipped into the WP lead, but was never able to get closer than six points in the 48-35 Bronco win.
Four players finished in double figures for WP.
Davis totaled 14 points in the contest. Yearous added 12. Rathe and Gaston each scored 10 points.
Davis and Rathe had 12 and 11 rebounds, respectively.
Gaston had four assists. Rathe had seven steals.
Brody Nordhausen had five rebounds and three assists.
WP continued its winning ways Friday at Brady with a 63-49 win.
While Brady had only two players in the scoring column at the end of the first quarter, Yearous, Davis, Gaston and Rathe had all scored for WP, helping the Broncos to a 14-10 lead.
The tables turned in the second quarter. Four players scored for Brady while Gaston and Rathe scored all 11 of WP's points.
The Broncos trailed 25-29 at halftime.
Two baskets by Rathe, followed by two free throws by Yearous started off WP scoring in the second half. One free throw by Davis and two by Gaston continued WP scoring. Baskets by Paul Behrends and Gaston helped WP to a 41-35 lead at the end of the third quarter.
WP had its best offensive quarter to wrap up the game, hanging 22 points on the Eagles.
Rathe hit his third three-pointer in the fourth quarter and Davis converted two three-point plays.
Four Broncos finished in double figures.
Gaston scored 18 points and Rathe 17. Yearous and Davis each added 11 points.
Gaston had nine steals and six assists.
Rathe had a team-high five rebounds.
"To have four players in double figures both games is very exciting," said WP coach Dave Kuhlen, adding that he would like to see the Broncos' assist-to-turnover margin improve.
WP's shooting percentage improved to 41 percent in the Brady win which Kuhlen attributed to more layups.
Kuhlen said both games were very physical, but he appreciated the different style from the Broncos practices.
Up next
The Broncos headed to McCook earlier this week for the Cattle Trail Invitational Tournament.
The Bronco boys began the tournament against Hitchcock County in the high school gym Tuesday. On Dec. 11, WP will play either Dundy County-Stratton or Maywood at 7:00 p.m. MT/8:00 p.m. CT. With a win over the Falcons, WP will play at MCC. A loss would lead to a game at the high school.
The tournament will wrap up Saturday.
Kuhlen said he has wanted WP to participate in the Cattle Trail Invite for a long time.
Despite players leaving immediately after Tuesday's game to head to the State One-Act Play meet in Norfolk, Kuhlen said, "I think the entire school working together this week will show that we can participate in both (basketball and one-act play) and perform everything at a high level. I thank our administration and school board for letting us do this."

Guaranteed Investment Safety, With Growth on Top, for Life
Casey Marx wanted to be a child psychologist, but life wanted him to be a wealth advisor. People across the country are glad he followed the second path.
Marx's choice of psychology was a result of his feelings following his father's death when he was 15. Deeply affected by this loss, he entered college with the goal of pursuing a clinical profession. But the story took a turn. Marx's mother experienced terrible financial losses in the market. "I'll tell you, there is not a more helpless feeling in the world than witnessing that type of financial devastation and feeling responsibility to your family and not knowing what to do," he says. "Sometimes knowledge comes out of necessity. And for me, the direction became the financial field, studying markets, trying to make sense of the world and how to brave the storm."

Meldrum's condition still critical
Family and friends of iconic Australian music industry legend Molly Meldrum are optimistic although his condition remains critical
Music industry legend and Australian 'national treasure' Molly Meldrum is still in critical condition after being found unconscious in his East Melbourne home on Thursday night.
Meldrum was believed to have been hanging Christmas decorations when he fell from a height of approximately three metres, resulting in a fractured skull, broken ribs and a punctured lung. However, the reason for the iconic music critic and journalist's fall is still unknown.
Garry Spry, a friend of Meldrum's since 1964 told 7 News he did not fall from a ladder, as previously thought, but from his spa, several metres from the ground.
After being rushed to hospital by paramedics, doctors put Meldrum in to a medically induced coma and are still unable to fully access his injuries due to swelling on the brain.
Today, after another night in intensive care, Meldrum's loved ones are cautiously optimistic.
Meldrum's good friend and manager Mark Klemens told the AAP (Australia Associate Press) only immediate family and close friends were permitted to visit the 65-year-old.
'The night was uneventful. There was no deterioration,' Klemens said. 'He is still critical.'
'It's horrible, it's very upsetting, but you have just got to be optimistic,' he added.
Floods of support have poured in from friends, colleagues and fans of the much loved, Stetson-wearing record producer and musical entrepreneur. Many of which have been meeting in Melbourne in a vigil to express their hope after the tragic event.
Both Minogue sisters sent get-well tweets along with the likes of Boy George, Russell Crowe, Ruby Rose and Kim Wilde. Fans of the pop guru have also been using the LoveYouMolly hastag on Twitter and other online forums play host to supportive comments from fans Australia and worldwide.
A spokesperson from The Alfred hospital in Melbourne says Meldrum has been fitted with a neck brace but his condition is still critical.

CINCINNATI -- The only thing hotter than the temperature on Sunday was all of the talent assembled at St. Xavier High School's Ballaban Field for the Skyline crosstown showdown between perennial powers St. Xavier (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Good Counsel (Olney, Md.). When you have a lot of talent assembled in one place, trying to find just one standout could be a difficult task, but not on this day.
Good Counsel's do-it-all junior athlete Stefon Diggs put on a show and was the difference in the game, while leading his team to a 21-6 win over the host Bombers.
Down six points in the fourth quarter and facing a fourth and 12, Good Counsel went to Diggs to get the first down. However, the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder didn't stop there. He was all over the field on the defensive side of the ball, intercepting three passes. Whispers on the sidelines had coaches and scouts comparing Diggs' performance to that of Deion Sanders. Good Counsel coach Bob Milloy has 322 career victories under his belt and he has seen his fair share of talented athletes and Diggs makes the cut as one of the best.
"Stefon is talented for sure," said Milloy. "You can see by what he did [Sunday] that he's special. Three interceptions, he caught a big pass on fourth down and he made several other plays that helped put our team in a position to win."
There's a mutual respect between Milloy and St. Xavier coach Steve Specht and besides having the respect for each other and their teams, they also agree that Diggs has a very high ceiling.
"That's a pretty good football team over there. No. 2 (Diggs) is special for sure," said Specht. "We knew coming into the game that they had athletes. We thought we had a pretty good offense coming in and we turned the ball over six times. But give them credit and Diggs was just special. Looking at tape, we knew he was going to be someone that we had to know where he was at all times. That fourth-down catch he made was the turning point in the game I think. Great players make plays. [He's] so athletic, Diggs has a bright future for sure."
Maryland, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, UCLA, North Carolina and Rutgers have all given Diggs verbal scholarship offers, but he's completely open at this time. Diggs, who describes himself as the type of player that wants to make plays and help his team when the lights go on, wants to take some unofficial visits next summer and hit some camps.
"When I'm talking to college coaches, I'll ask where they see me playing and [how I can help their team] and I'm sure after the dust settles, I'll find the right school," said Diggs. "It's just too early to really be talking about all this. I still have a lot of work to do. I made some mistakes [Sunday] and I just want to be a good teammate right now."

Booker T postpones camp
Initially, Booker T had planned on running a professional wrestling camp for industry hopefuls on May 31, 2015 since his service was not needed by WWE at a live event. When management made the last minute decision to change that show into the Elimination Chamber pay per view, it caused a scheduling conflict for the former world heavyweight champion. Booker had no choice but to postpone his camp for a later date.

Bank takes ownership of telco
Bendigo and Adelaide Bank has taken 100 per cent ownership of Community Telco Australia.
Community Telco Australia was established by the Bank in 2003 to ensure it had access to telecommunication infrastructure at a viable price point to support a major regional headquarters and to extend its Community Bank® model into the telco market, said Andrew Cairns, Head of Customer Led Connections.
The Bank has held held a 50 per cent shareholding in the telco since 2005 when it sold 50 per cent stake to AAPT then Australias third largest telecommunications company, Mr Cairns said.
The Bank has now finalised the purchase of AAPTs 50 per cent shareholding and is now the only Australian bank to own a telecommunications company.
CTA has grown to be Australias largest regional telco, creating economic output of $148 million annually across regional Australia, equating to 382 jobs.
There is no doubt the convergence of banking and telecommunications via mobile devices is not just growing as an accepted mainstream channel for banking this growth is actually accelerating rapidly, he said.
It is also becoming clear that customers will want a seamless mobile bankin

The Francis Ford Coppola Winery in California's Sonoma wine country is a day destination with wine tastings, movie exhibits, swimming pools and more.
A visit to the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville, Calif., is more than just a wine-tasting amid poetic rolling hills of vineyards.
It's a day destination, complete with an array of non-wine-related activities: swimming pools, bocce ball courts, 28 pool "cabines" — and a chance to explore some of the most famous movie paraphernalia in cinema history.
Director Coppola's five golden Oscars are among the displays in the winery's Movie Gallery exhibits, including his first Oscar — for the 1972 film "The Godfather." Also on display is the 1948 Tucker Sedan — only 51 of the then-revolutionary cars were manufactured — used in Coppola's 1988 film, "Tucker: The Man and His Dream. "
There's more to the winery than wine and movie memorabilia. It's designed to be a place where adults and children can relax for a day. An outdoor stage, the Pavilion, hosts live music and other entertainment. It's adorned with a large mural that was part of the set of "Godfather II." Nearby are two swimming pools (reopening in spring) joined by a "swim-through" with spraying arches of water. Covering 3,600 square feet, the pools give room for family play. Twenty-eight poolside "cabines" — European-style private changing rooms with showers — are available for day-use rental.

For those who want to focus on the wines, daily tours show off the property and bottling facility and wind up in a tasting room. More than 40 wines are produced on site, including a sparkling wine named after Coppola's daughter, filmmaker Sofia Coppola.
Hungry? Pair the wines with Italian and international cuisine at Rustic, the winery's restaurant whose menu is designed around some of Coppola's favorite meals from around the world. Coppola himself frequents the winery and is sometimes found eating at its restaurant.

At first glance it seems that the GT-S9110 Watch Phone by Samsung is quite bigger, modern watch with high quality leather strap. But on closer inspection one can see that it is happens to be a phone for your wrist. The conversation is either via an integrated loudspeaker via speaker or with the supplied Bluetooth headsets which is already available. With a market price of 471st - (without contract, shipping and depending on the provider), the Samsung Watch Phone is not exactly cheap. The lifestyle accessory, however, has neither EDGE nor UMTS. Due to the small screen it is hard to go surf on the Internet. Even a camera is not available. Whether these watch phone was able to convince us, we will see in our test.

2. Housing material / surface quality - High quality leather strap with brushed metal elements.
3. Housing Dimensions - With a weight of 117 grams and dimensions of 59 x 39 x 12 mm, it looks a bit bulky on the wrist.

7. Size of the supplied items - Operating Instructions, Bluetooth stereo headset, battery, charger for the headset and for the Watch Phone. Accessories may vary depending on your network provider.
8. Processing Results - The beautiful Watch phone is made up of plastic, with high quality leather strap and metal frames. With the handy, just in moderation and acceptable weight it looks a bit bulky on the wrist. The TFT display is clear and sharp colors are displayed. The battery cover is made of stainless steel for the Samsung as well as the attached and sits perfectly which also scores for the Watch Phone.

State college football notebook: Southern Nazarene shuts out College of Faith
Southern Nazarene showed mercy on College of Faith on Saturday afternoon at SNU Field, keeping a running clock for all but a few instances. The Crimson Storm coasted to a 42-0 victory against a Tennessee-based football team that showed up for a season finale with only 13 players remaining from an original roster of 38.
"It's been a long season, but we made it through the woods," College of Faith coach Sherwyn L. Thomas told a small huddle of players. "I love you all for sticking it out today."
College of Faith is a first-year independent program with a roster of players who come from rough backgrounds.
Players are not offered athletic scholarships. Course work, limited to religion, is online only. Most players work a regular job to pay for classes, and then they take off work on weekends to play football.
Thomas and assistant coach Lenner Rogers claim they are "basically homeless because we don't get paid." Thomas and Rogers sleep on their office floor with linebacker Vintuan Turley. Keeping the NAIA team together has been brutal, said Thomas, because some players have quit to enter the work force for good or they've simply tired of getting thumped on the field.
"And we were really close to forfeiting this game," Thomas said. "We only had eight guys at our last practice, and only three of those were here with us today."
Thomas, Rogers and a few determined-to-play ballers worked phones. They found enough teammates willing to make an eight-hour road trip to Bethany in two white vans often used for teams of lesser numbers, such as basketball or wrestling. Equipment was pulled in a small U-Haul trailer, and most of the gear was donated. Thomas said SNU "has been an angel to us" because it paid for most of Faith's travel expenses, including food and lodging.
"Players have come and gone and come back for a lot of reasons," said Deterryon Hunt, a sophomore lineman from Millington, Tenn. "I know I've been here from Day 1, and I wouldn't trade this experience for nothing."
A few Faith kids lacked football fundamentals. Others, such as Hunt, displayed some talent. He was applauded by SNU fans for a celebratory dance that followed a big stick on a Storm punt returner. Hunt also recovered a fumble that gave Faith its only possession of the game in Southern Nazarene territory.
Otherwise, Southern Nazarene dominated. The Crimson Storm totaled 296 yards to The Mighty Believers' minus-1.
SNU tailback Derick Perkins finished with 122 yards and four touchdowns.
This time last season, Southern Nazarene celebrated a Central States Football League championship and NAIA playoff berth. On Saturday, it finished a difficult schedule with a 2-9 record but a year closer to becoming a full-fledged member of the NCAA Division II-affiliated Great American Conference.
College of Faith wrapped up its abbreviated schedule with an 0-5 record but full of promise for the 2013 season.
"We've had a lot of hardships this season, but we're not going to give up," Thomas said. "This is only the beginning."
*East Central scored 31 unanswered points to beat Southeastern State 31-17 at Norris Field in Ada. Quarterback Spencer Bond accounted for three touchdowns for East Central.
*Bacone's six-game win streak was snapped with its 47-14 loss to McMurry in Abilene, Texas. Bacone (7-4) had only allowed 26 points during its winning run.
*Southwestern State managed just 217 total yards offense in a 38-7 loss to Harding in Searcy, Ark. Dustin Stenta led Southwestern State (3-7) with 136 yards and a touchdown passing.
*Javari Liggins ran for 221 yards and a TD, and Kyle Jech passed for 169 yards and two touchdowns as Northwestern State trimmed Arkansas-Monticello, 38-35. Northwestern State won its last-four games of the season to finish with a 4-7 record.
*Langston held off Panhandle State 27-20 in Goodwell, finishing 6-4.

"When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it."
"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not."
"My feelings for you shame me into silence. The truth of this and your name will never be revealed. It is you who has made me realize the failure of my life. The thought of you fills me with longing and at the same time, a burning humiliation that produces scar tissue and dead brain cells. Your existence mocks me and I am unable to confront this. You have no idea of any of this. None of this is your fault. It is completely with me. It is you who makes me see what I really am. I am weak and out of touch with myself."
"What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined ... to strengthen each other ... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories."
"The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne."

This is final part or you gonna make more? Also great game.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Mike,there's only one more thing I wanna know.And that is,is there gonna be a fourth one?I saw your replies on Kongregate saying there's gonna be another one,but that was back in 2011.The thing that gets me questioning,though,is this thing file:///C:/Users/I/Desktop/671136912_curious.jpg.You published this in december of 2013,which tells me that the chances of being another one are reasonably high.I love this game series to death and replaying the again after over 4 years had given me the biggest nostalgia trip ever,so I'm very curious if there's gonna be another one or not.Thanks in advance
I appreciate the review :) To answer your question, in some form or another, Alice is Dead is going to continue. I've just been trying to iron out the where and how.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
I like the game series I really do, but the first one had lag, the second one didn't, and this third one lags every 15 seconds. You should have a quality button or setting so people can control it a little bit.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like these series and I hope there will be more to come!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
A very well made series! Fantastic idea and well thought of story. The graphics were really good, and the overall atmosphere very interesting. The world wasn't quite so detailed and interactive, but the way you can use your mobile phone compensates. Parts 1 & 2 were overly short however, whereas this was just a bit better but still not so grand. I hope there might be a continuation to this, or more projects like it!
Thank you very much :)

Okay so everyday I bring to work a water bottle filled with water and some lemons, well yesterday morning I lefted my filled water bottle at HOME. So your thinking SO WHAT right??? Well so I hate the water we have at work, it comes out brown in the morning, we work in an old old refurbished (sp) building. Well so I went without water all day yesterday and when I got home my water bottle was sitting right where I left it. STUPID ME.
Well I'm super picky about water, I like COLD FRESH WATER, I just wanted to say how spoiled I am with my daily water bottle.
I could have went to the store to get a water bottle but I didn't have time to leave work.
I guess you can say that I realized how IMPORTANT water was to me and I was left thinking how some people don't even get fresh water daily.
I'm VERY THANKFUL I live here in the GRAND USA and that I can get fresh water anyday.
And this is my daily rant and rave.

To the editor:
I continue to be amazed at the number of high-profile Indiana businesses, institutions of higher learning and civic organizations climbing on the bandwagon of opposition to the proposed state constitutional amendment (HJR-3) banning same-sex marriage.
These organizations continue to mount the questionable argument that even proposing such an amendment will paint the state as a backward and intolerant society. They also claim the amendment would greatly harm the ability of corporations, universities and other potential employers to attract highly credentialed individuals in fields of the sciences, engineering, education and business critical to the future of these organizations — and the state.
As Charles Trzcinka of the Kelly School of Business at Indiana University recently pointed out, there is little factual evidence to support such claims. The arguments against the amendment might be more compelling if, for example, officials at organizations such as Cummins, Lilly, Indiana University, etc., could show conclusively they have been seriously disadvantaged in terms of large numbers of high-potential employees or students who place opposition to the proposed amendment so high on their priority list that it negates the salary, opportunity and status offered by these outstanding organizations.
I simply do not believe that is the case.
There can be little doubt that the vast number of high-potential future Indiana citizens will be in committed heterosexual relationships where opposition to the proposed amendment is arguably not very high on their priority list. Unless amendment opponents can claim high-potential, highly credentialed future citizens are somehow unique to the minority demographic committed to same sex marriages (or sympathy to same) their arguments are simply not convincing.

Have been noticing recently that at the end of battle some tanks are self destructing as the clock counts down. Really didn't pay to much attention to it. Just now our two arties were waiting for the enemy T40 to make a move, we waited him out and as the clock ended he "blew up" I guess. On the game wrap up it says he "Quit before the end of battle". We ended up getting the victory. Is this now who WG handles afk's and those who bail? (the tank did fire 10 rounds and traveled 1.43 Km.)
AFK tanks lost at end of battle?

if he blew up, he went to garage or exited the game before the game ended.
#3 Posted Aug 19 2014 - 02:22
As far as I know, you're tank explodes if you leave before the battle ends. (I'm not completely sure, feel free to call me on it.) So yes, that's how it's kinda handled.

Been that way for a while.
Bail early and you get a repair bill.
Working as intended

Ya....the in game message said "so and so lost in battle"
thanks guys
#6 Posted Aug 19 2014 - 03:21
Along with the repair bill you lose a lot of XP. Don't go back to the garage early if you are alive and going to win.

in programming skills. I just learned that an MCA is an Indian degree called "Master's of Computer Applications." FYI, we don't have such a degree here in the U.S. (Someone with your training would typically obtain either a Master of Arts, Master of Science, MS in computer science, MIS, or some engineering discipline). Given your background, the CCNA is too entry-level to add much to your existing credentials. If you wanted to become certified in some Cisco area, I'd recommend looking at one of the Cisco Professional certifications (CCNP, CCDP, CCIP, or CCSP) or perhaps even at the CCIE. ERP is an interesting area, but only SAP (and this week, PeopleSoft) offer ERP certifications.
My advice is to dig into Cisco and SAP offerings and see what interests you most, then to follow your interest wherever they might lead you. Good luck with your career planning and development.

MUSIC; New Operas Are Booming, But the Bold Aren't Heard
By ANTHONY TOMMASINI
Published: June 23, 2002
AMERICAN orchestras may be grappling with dwindling audiences and the indifference of the young, but opera companies are doing quite well. Attendance, overall, is up. It's not that the general directors of opera companies have been boldly reinventing what they do. The public just seems more interested in opera.
One reason, certainly, is the adoption of supertitles or other text projection systems by virtually every American opera house. The technology has demystified the genre. All of a sudden, even neophytes get it: ''Ah, opera is theater! I can just sit back and take in the show.''
What's more, titles may be fostering the most important trend in opera today: a notable increase in the commissioning and presentation of new works. This assertion may seem a stretch, since most new works reaching American houses have English librettos. Yet as younger, eager audiences have been enticed into the opera house by supertitles, the natural curiosity for the new that exists among fans of theater, dance and film has affected operagoers as well.
More new works are being developed and produced at America's opera houses than at any time since the post-World War II period, when a contemporary-opera boomlet was fostered by general economic prosperity and a serious commitment to the performing arts among corporations, private foundations and even television networks (until the rocking 60's declared high culture elitist). Savvy administrators have noticed the growing openness to new works and responded in their programming. And that's great.
What's not so great, however, is the timidity of their choices, which has resulted in a lot of earnest but forgettable works. General managers gravitate to composers who hew to what are deemed accessible musical styles: lush neo-Romanticism, folksy Americana, a halfhearted Minimalism that rejects the truly radical repetitiveness of the early, and best, operas by Philip Glass. Commissions tend to go not to bold composers but to marketable projects.
There are ''Masterpiece Theater'' operas, like Stephen Paulus's musically staid ''Summer,'' introduced by the Berkshire Opera in 1999 and revived this month by the Center for Contemporary Opera in New York. There are operatic spinoffs from plays and films, like André Previn's ''Streetcar Named Desire,'' which was unveiled at the San Francisco Opera in 1998. Though Mr. Previn's score, true to form, was harmonically rich, lyrically opulent and tellingly orchestrated, the music did not begin to match the impact and poetry of the Tennessee Williams play or its classic film version, directed by Elia Kazan.
But at least Mr. Previn was a veteran composer. The San Francisco Opera knew what it was getting and gave him lots of leeway. These days it's more typical for a company, worried about alienating its audience, to seek out a less experienced composer willing to be an obliging member of a large production team.
Stewart Robertson, the music director and principal conductor of the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, N.Y., and of the Florida Grand Opera in Miami, concedes that companies have been too wary. ''A lot of what is being commissioned and performed is, frankly, very conservative,'' he said recently. Company administrators have been a bit myopic, he added. ''They tend to think of the operatic world only, and not what else is being done in music in orchestras and chamber ensembles.''
Still, the status quo is changing, he said. The Florida Grand Opera will open its new house in 2004 with the premiere of a work based on Tolstoy's ''Anna Karenina'' by David Carlson, a California composer Mr. Robertson believes in.
Two new American operas are enjoying widespread success. Mark Adamo's ''Little Women,'' based on the Louisa May Alcott novel, was introduced by the Houston Grand Opera in 1998. Jake Heggie's ''Dead Man Walking,'' based on Sister Helen Prejean's book about a Louisiana execution (though the devastating film directed by Tim Robbins was the real impetus), had its debut at the San Francisco Opera in 2000. So far, 16 companies have picked up one or the other of these works. ''Little Women'' arrives at the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, N.Y., on July 6; ''Dead Man Walking'' opens at the Cincinnati Opera on July 11. Both come to the New York City Opera next season.
It's remarkable to see two new American operas on such a roll. Yet, musically, I want more from new operas than these scores provide. Mr. Adamo understands the voice and has an instinctive sense of dramatic pacing. But, musically, he takes a self-conscious tack in adapting the novel. In the scenes of daily domesticity, his music is beguilingly lyrical. In reflective monologues and scenes driven by plot, he spikes his language with 12-tone elements to give the music some gnarly anxiety, to reveal the angst and erotic stirrings within the restless sisters. But the atonal passages sound heavy-handed. Less is more in this score. The simpler, sweetly tonal music is the most satisfying.
I did not see the San Francisco production of ''Dead Man Walking,'' which, by all reports, was boldly theatrical. My impressions of Mr. Heggie's ambitious score come from the live recording on the Erato label. Before this work, Mr. Heggie was known for songs that artfully flatter the human voice. Here he shows a gift for melodic writing and laces his tonal language with shards of dissonance and jazzy riffs. His polyglot style, beholden to Bernstein, incorporates vernacular song and dance.

Relating to the question I asked earlier, I've gone through all stackoverflow questions tagged with as and retagged them, because the tag is very ambiguous (see link to question above). In the process I realized that none of the questions needed the tag, because all of them really meant something else and there was another tag to replace it. As a result, the as tag is now empty. Should we close it? I personally don't have enough reputation to vote on it, but I think this would avoid a lot of confusion in the future.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
A two letter tag doesn't seem a good tag, anyway, as it could be used in different contexts, with different meanings.
Blocking it seems a little excessive. We should decide to use the tag in just a case, and report the correct meaning of the tag in its wiki. If the tag doesn't have a wiki, and it's used in different contexts with different meanings, then it would get misused.

New London — A quarter of the way through the fiscal year, the city is facing a $1.1 million deficit in its $41.3 million budget.
"It's certainly not as good as I would have hoped,'' Finance Director Jeffrey Smith told the City Council Monday night.
But he added, so early in the fiscal year, the numbers will inevitably change before the budget year ends on June 30, 2013.
"It's not what we overspent,'' Smith told the council. "This is an estimate of what we could overspend.''
Smith presented the city council with a report on the first three months of the fiscal year, which shows a $362,262 decline in expected revenues and projected overruns of $825,131.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, who attended the meeting, said he is committed to not raising taxes and will make spending cuts to balance the budget.
"From my perspective, we absolutely will not run a deficit this year,'' Finizio said. "We will make supplemental cuts if necessary.''
"I think that's an important message,'' added City Councilor Donald Macrino. "We'll stick to the budget come hell or high water. ... We'll make sacrifices to do that.''
The city will receive $240,000 less than expected in state PILOT programs and that number will not change, Smith said. Other revenue sources are down, including conveyance taxes, parking violations, ambulance revenues and building fees.
On the expenditure side, public safety and public works are trending in the direction of overspending their budgets, Smith said. The police and public works departments will most likely make up their deficits by the end of year, Smith said. But the fire department will be over budget, according to Smith, by as much as $650,000.
Overspending in the fire department can be attributed to 18-man staffing levels that didn't change to 16-man until August, nearly two months into the fiscal year. There is also a spike in sick time in the department, Finizio said.
The mayor, the fire union and the fire department management are looking into the reasons, Finizio said.
Smith said the next quarterly report, which will be available by mid-January, will give a clearer picture of the city's finances.
"We'll have a better sense if we're looking at a couple hundred thousand or a million,'' Smith said.
Voters rejected the city's $42.3 million budget at a September referendum and the council lowered the budget to $41.3 million, which called for a 5.1 percent tax increase. A second referendum petition was circulated, and a date for another referendum is set for a year from now. Some of the more than 800 people who signed the second petition said they did so to protest the tax increase. But others said they signed as a protest after the administration's attempt to quash a second referendum.
Without enough votes to move the date up, the council followed the steps outlined in the city charter, which says the vote will take place at the next municipal election.

Flannery O'Connor and a New Diet Book
"Who knew a quarter of a cup of balsamic vinegar dressing added up to a whopping 209 calories?"
—Everyone. Everyone born since 1946 knows that. But why not buy another book about it? Or you could buy "Flannery O'Connor: The Cartoons" instead (Indiebound | Amazon). Did you know she drew cartoons and probably did not know how many calories were in a quarter of a cup of balsamic vinegar dressing? True story. Or you could buy the new English diet book. Spoiler: you don't eat on weekends. You eat a little! The equivalent of a half-cup of balsamic vinegar dressing a day. Maybe you could eat just a quarter of a cup, and then have calories left to eat the O'Connor book and a sleeve of unconsecrated Communion wafers, and then call it "The Southern Gothic Diet."

Smuggling Tallitot for Women at Western Wall
Recently, Amichai Lau-Lavie, founding director of Storahtelling and a second-year Jewish Theological Seminary rabbinical student, published a blog post about illegally smuggling tallitot (prayer shawls) into the Western Wall for use by Women of the Wall on February 11, Rosh Hodesh Adar.
Arrested For Wearing A Tallit — Or Being A Woman?
Four women were taken into custody by the police on August 19 (Rosh Hodesh Elul) for wearing a tallit (ritual fringes) at the Western Wall, making Israel the only country in the world where wearing a tallit can be illegal, and the only country where there is a proposed law — submitted by ultra-Orthodox politicians — to make Jewish women's religious practice punishable by a seven-year prison sentence. It's not so much wearing the tallit that is illegal, but rather being a woman that puts one at odds with the police. Being a religious woman can be a dangerous thing in Israel.
Masorti Leaders Challenge Oren's Remarks on Tallit Arrest
Leaders of the Masorti Foundation for Conservative Judaism in Israel today sent Israel's ambassador to the U.S. a letter questioning recent remarks which seemed to criticize accounts of a woman who was arrested at the Kotel for wearing a prayer shawl.
Ambassador Michael Oren, speaking at last week's convention of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, said that the young woman, Nofrat Frenkel, was not arrested but merely "led away" by police from the prayer area at the Kotel when haredi men became aware she was wearing a tallit.
Orthodox Rabbi to Michael Oren: Arrest of Woman in Tallit 'Offensive and Dangerous'
Following the recent arrest at the Western Wall of a woman wearing a Jewish prayer shawl, or tallit, a prominent American Modern Orthodox rabbi has requested that Israel's U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren meet with "a rabbinic delegation of American Orthodox rabbis who strongly support the right of women to wear a tallit and tzitzit."
In a letter to Oren, penned this morning, Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, the spiritual leader of Ohev Sholom National Synagogue in Washington, D.C., called the arrest Monday of Nofrat Frenkel "offensive and dangerous," adding: "You are ceding the Temple Mount and its holiness to a group of fundamentalist and exclusionary Jews who increasingly do not share that prophetic vision."
Woman of the Wall Arrest: A First-Hand Account
As they do at the start of every month, Israel's Women of the Wall went to the Kotel on Wednesday to celebrate Rosh Chodesh.
But this time, instead of services concluding with the Musaf prayer, the experience ended with a 25 year old participant, a medical student who was wearing a tallit and carrying the group's new Torah scroll, being arrested by police and charged with "performing a religious act that offends the feelings of others."

Smile in your day
World weary
Write your name in the stars
World weary
You are back at the start

  http://www.shapeways.com/model/749751/house-simple-necklace. html
 This listing includes the house only. Chain NOT included. This design is capable of fitting on any small chain of your choosing. You can string the chain or small leather or silk cord through the attic space in the house which is hollow from end to end. The house in the picture was polished a bit by me after it was printed. 3d printing does cause slight surface variations and the house you receive may have a slightly more pitted surface. I also sell a house ring which you can find in my shop.

 This design features a cute little house that I designed to look like the stereotypical pre colonial house often chosen as a model for doll house constructions. There are details on all four sides of the house. Center of the house is open and you can peer into the house through the windows and the door. One side features cloud-like little bushes while the other side displays a jagged shape to represent grass. The attic space is also empty (going all the way through) so that this can be strung on a chain and worn as a necklace.
