SHEPHERDSTOWN - From red flags to commitment to conflict, Jason Ottley recently helped students at Shepherd University understand the importance of healthy relationships.
Ottley, who is a counselor of the university's student support services, created a forum titled "The Relationship Tour," which brings a panel of students, staff and faculty together to toss around the tough questions with regard to relationships, some serious and some not, that affect college students.
Dr. Dorothy Hively, assistant professor of education, said red flags are something that everyone needs to identify for themselves, making sure they do not go ignored.

Hively said sometimes this is very easily done at the beginning of a relationship, but part of being secure as a person is addressing those red flags - those deal-breakers - and knowing that it is OK to say "no" to a person and move on.
"Sometimes the idea of having a relationship becomes more important than the person themselves. You have to be satisfied to be alone in your own space, rather than stay with someone who is not going to share in your journey of where you want to go," Hively said.
Another big question that Ottley asked the panel was whether commitment in today's generation is diluted.
Senior student Brian Miller said he feels that many college students are afraid of the word commitment. During a period of time when you're exploring yourself and you are not sure if you are going to move away, attend graduate school or what you path may be taking, commitment is difficult, he said.
"I feel like we are afraid of it. Society is ever-changing and commitment is something that is going to keep us locked down and in the same place. It's that notion that we don't want to deal with," Miller said.
The panel also discussed conflict and how things are quickly thrown away in today's world. They explained that many students are not taught how to properly deal with conflict, nor do they understand that it can often make a relationship stronger.
Counselor Shanan Spencer said college students live in a time of instant gratification, and even small things such as technology and cellphones are items that people want in the "newest, shiniest" model.
"We can't even commit to technology in our lives, and we do the same thing with people," Spencer said.
Dr. Jared Androzzi cautioned students against the idea of rushing into a marriage, even if they feel they have committed, but are just settling for someone. He presented the idea that maybe thinking "life is too short" is not the right way to think. Although time "flies by," he said to be patient.
"I met my wife when I was 29 years old. I remember one of the first things I said to her was, 'I'm so happy I waited for you, because I was ready to settle for less,'" Androzzi said.
The panel was designed to help students recover from broken relationships and help them stay on track in their academic lives. Shepherd University's Multicultural Student Affairs office sponsored the event, which was held at the Frank Center Theater.

POMFRET – A stolen urn containing the cremated remains of a Town ofn Pomfret man is home again.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office said the bronze urn, which was taken during a burglary April 3 at a home on Van Buren Road, reappeared in a paper bag on the homeowner's porch late last week.
Investigators said the bronze urn is shaped like a dolphin swimming among waves and that the burglar who took it may have thought it was a piece of art. The widow of the man whose remains are in the urn found it when she went out Thursday morning to walk her dogs.
No arrests have been made.

USPS?taking responsible steps toward stability
March 28, 2013
I would like to comment on the March 18 article by USPS workers at the Martinsburg, Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) who gathered to protest the consolidation of mail processing......
Me myself, I couldn't get past the "we have worked closely with these employees to help them find jobs..." Let me just say that the District Manager who wrote this letter to the editor, has yet to step foot in the Martinsburg Post Office, to work closely with the employees who will soon lose their jobs, or for any other reason. He's making misleading statements as though they were fact, about people who's faces he's never seen. This manager knows NOTHING about Martinsburg, its people, businesses, community, and/or it's challenges and needs. If he, or any other USPS manager had been at the Rally on March 18, then he would know that it was held in support of 6 day delivery and Postal Service Protection Act (s.316/H.R.630. He would have also seen the public support of the Rally, calling into question the wisdom in making assumptions about what American's want in a Postal Service, based on "purchasing choices"...Beware, this letter to the editor is highly misleadi

Doretha Walker says when she and other members of Black Girls Run! went for a jog on the Ravenel Bridge, people told her they'd never seen that many black women running.
Being active truly is a matter of life and death for black women. Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and African-American women are the most at risk because of a history of obesity and diabetes.
Walker, of Mount Pleasant, is an avid runner and the founder of the Charleston chapter of Black Girls Run! She said many black women don't exercise because they don't know where to start.
"They want to start, but they don't know how. We have groups that take you from walking to running," Walker said. There are about 850 members in the Charleston chapter who form several running groups to accommodate preferences and schedules.
Other factors that hinder black women from exercise may not seem important as health issues, but shouldn't be dismissed as trivial. Worries about hair, not knowing what to wear and not wanting to do it alone are serious concerns that my friend, third-year Medical University of South Carolina student Lindsey Johnson, said are "more mental than anything else."
Women with relaxed or straightened hair have to worry about sweat ruining their hairstyles. And I'll be honest. I've used the excuse "I don't want to ruin my hair" for not doing something physical.
But after speaking to Johnson, I realized that I have to make short-term sacrifices for long-term benefits.
"I knew I could always schedule another hair appointment. I couldn't see myself putting off working out for something as frivolous as my hairstyle," Johnson said.
Getting your hair done every week can be expensive, but Johnson said her hairstylist charged less because she was coming in so often. Getting your hair braided is another option or going natural like Walker, who has dreadlocks.
Johnson added that having the proper gym wear does more than make you look good, too. Stores such as Ross, T.J.Maxx or Marshalls carry inexpensive active wear.
"Something as simple as a cute gym outfit can make you feel like you belong and make you want to go back."
Johnson started her routine with group classes because the "positive peer pressure" motivated her. When she got comfortable she was able to make a routine of her own.
And in organizations like Black Girls Run! no one has to do it alone. Walker said her morning runs are a time to catch up with friends and have "become social as well as physical."
In order to beat heart disease we also have to change our diets, which is hard in the land of fried everything.
Johnson said stereotypes like the Southern black woman in the kitchen frying chicken and not working out don't have to be true.
"Break the mold for yourself. Don't let hair or being alone stop you. At the end of the day, it's going to be you in that hospital bed," Johnson said.
As National Heart Awareness Month winds down, African- American women need to take this information and run with it. Literally.

Tom Otto is on his way to becoming the Altoona Area School District superintendent beginning this summer, and he will carry that title at least through June 2017.
A four-year contract for Otto, who has served as Clearfield Area School District superintendent since 2011, is expected to be approved at the board's Feb. 19 meeting, board President Ryan Beers said.
The contract to be approved has Otto starting with a salary of $141,000, Beers said.
The contract will include an automatic annual salary increase of 2.5 percent and an annual bonus of up to 1.5 percent depending on a board evaluation of Otto's performance, he said.
"We looked at several other contracts of superintendents, and his [Otto's ] current contract to negotiate," Beers said. "I am very excited to have Dr. Otto leading the district next year. His energy, demeanor and commitment to positive communication are exactly what the Altoona Area School District needs moving forward."
Otto, 56, has a doctorate of education from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and is a former teacher and principal of Altoona Area's former Keith Junior High School.
Fact Box
Previous stops
A look at where new Altoona Area School?District superintendent Tom Otto has worked:
1978-82: Capital Area Intermediate Unit, physical education teacher
1982-89: Big Springs School District special education teacher and boys basketball coach
1989-04: Special education teacher at Roosevelt and Keith junior high schools for nine years, then seven years as Keith assistant principal
2004-10: Bellwood-Antis academic principal, then director of curriculum
2011-present: Clearfield Area Superintendent
"I think Altoona Area is one of the premier school districts in Pennsylvania," Otto said. "The opportunity to head that organization is a one in a lifetime opportunity."
Otto spent 15 years as a school administrator, including three years as academic principal, then director of curriculum at Bellwood-Antis High School, his alma-matter, before becoming superintendent of Clearfield Area. In total, he has 35 years of experience in the educational field.
The board's Feb. 19 vote will end a six-month-long search process that began shortly after Superintendent Dennis Murray announced his retirement in August.
Murray, 72, has served as Altoona Area Superintendent for 29 years and is to retire June 30.
In September, the board contracted the Pennsylvania School Boards Association to advertise the position and arrange interviews with candidates. The board narrowed its total of 15 candidates to eight by examining their search letters that included salary expectations and reasons for applying for the Altoona Area job. The board has not released the candidates names.
In late January, the board announced it had interviewed the eight candidates and narrowed the field to three.
On Wednesday, the board invited faculty and staff representatives to interview the final two candidates.
The nine-member board subsequently selected Otto, and his contract was negotiated Saturday morning among Beers, Vice President Maryann Joyce Bistline, Sharon Bream and district solicitor Dave Andrews.
"I'm looking forward to some good things," Bream said. "He [Otto] wants to work together as a team with the board and staff, and be more visible to staff, students and parents."
A resident of Altoona, Otto commutes to work at Clearfield Area School District. He could begin work at Altoona as early as June 15, he said.
He believes Altoona is a premier school district for many reasons:
"When you look at student achievement, the district has two Blue Ribbon schools. It has been recognized for high school achievement. It has decent attendance and graduation rates. It has strong programs in academics, athletics and the arts. It has great facilities and it takes pride in the organization of employees."
He said he has a vision for the district and said he needs time "to meet with the school board to articulate my vision of where we need to go with the district."
"My vision would be that we establish such a collaborative culture that stresses communication and student achievement that parents will want to buy houses in our district and businesses will want to locate in Altoona to take advantage of the education and opportunity offered to potential employees. That is my dream," he said.
"That means we need to certainly improve," he said.
And he said that improvement will result from establishing communication among the board and employees across the district - "a network to share best practices with each other."

Her Pick: Picture Me Gone by Meg Rosoff
I've just started Meg Rosoff's Picture Me Gone. My YA book group chose it and then it was shortlisted for the National Book Awards, so I'm psyched. It's about Mila, a hyper-observant 12-year-old English girl who accompanies her absent-minded father to America to help track down a missing friend of his. Moody, mysterious, it's a reminder to all us oblivious adults that children know way more than we give them credit for.
Jennifer Newman, photo editor
Her Pick: The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I've been waiting for Catching Fire, the next Hunger Games book, to hit the big screen, so I started The Maze Runner to help tide me over. It's Lord of the Flies re-booted in a dystopian world set at the center of a maze called the Glade. And I can't stop reading it!
Lauren Pilon, Assistant Makeup Manager
Her Pick: Allegiant by Veronica Roth
I love how quickly Allegiant, the third book in the captivating Divergent trilogy, picks up where the last one left off. Allegiant begins with our heroine Tris Prior learning of a group called the Allegiant who want to leave the only city they've ever known. With each turn of the page, I'm excited to find out exactly who, or what, resides outside of dystopian Chicago. So far Allegiant's a winner!
Check back every Thursday for another round of staff picks, and see more book reviews each week in PEOPLE magazine, on newsstands now. Plus, check out last week's tales of the rich and famous and more great book finds here.

5 Great Ideas That the Internet Has Ruined
I got my first computer in the mid '90s, and as a teenager, I acquired every kind of virus downloading porn can give you. I went to all the corners of the World Wide Web. I went to its seedy little bars, its quaint villages, its cult-run compounds and more than one of its highway rest stops. And now I'm going to tell you, unequivocally, what the five worst things on the Internet are. Because I looked them all in the eye and saw a wretched hole filled with human suffering where their soul should have been.
Lest you think this list will include such hilarious things as "2 Girls 1 Cup," some manner of off-colored waffles or citrus-based parties, let me assure you, those are nothing. Those are what the cretins email to their cronies. No, I'm talking about a more existential level of awfulness. I'm talking about the things that, on a subconscious level, make you feel just a bit queasy every time you log on, but they not only persevere, they thrive and blossom and grow. Like wieners. Cankerous wieners.
#5. Memes
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins gave us the word "meme" as a term to describe the aspects of a culture that spread and replicate over time and through the influence of the people and culture that make use of them. The concept is both diffuse and precise at once, and was generally meant to indicate something like fashion, which shifts and adapts on a cultural level as it is influenced by a small number of individuals and then imitated to a greater or lesser degree by a larger number. A meme is not a cat having invisible butt sex. Not even invisible butt secks.
Because the Internet refined the long definition of meme down to "something that is imitated," memes are now little more than knock-knock jokes with novel, slightly new punch lines each time. As an example, here's that popular Handsome Soren Bowie meme that the kids love so much these days:
When my mother punishes me for my tardiness, she makes me wear a Soren Bowie mask so she'll at least feel a small pang of regret.
Now, while this meme is clearly awesome, others are not. Most are not. They're the online version of yelling "I love lamp" totally unprompted and waiting for everyone to congratulate you on how funny it was when you quoted that movie line from some years ago, quite out of context. You comedy trailblazer, you.
Memes are a barometer of online human laziness and lack of creativity. Whole message boards are devoted to the creation of new and the proliferation of old ones. When a new meme pops up -- for instance, Ridiculously Photogenic Guy -- it becomes so popular that you can expect to see it everywhere. Photogenic Guy ended up in worldwide news, on Gawker, Yahoo!, Huffington Post, ABC News and elsewhere while journalists kept using the word "viral" because someone in marketing told them to, even though you can tell by their expression that they keep equating it with herpes in their head. Space-age herpes. You get it from trying to bang a floppy drive. Those reporters still have floppy drives.
What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK? Why? When did the masses pool together to have a conference and follow-up referendum on how to collectively start giving any shits about this stuff? If memes are a method of identifying a culture, future civilizations will assume we were a people made up entirely of puns that would have been booed off of vaudeville stages, and wordplay as clever as swordplay with a slow-witted baby with motor control issues is dangerous.
#4. Twitter
Never before in history have so many done so little for so long. Twitter is the technological equivalent of that scene in a movie where the nerdy lead character tries in vain to signal to the hot girl across a crowded room who he thinks just noticed him and then, upon realizing she was waving to someone else, tries to casually run his hand through his hair as though that was his plan all along.
"Hey, ladies. We smell like cheese but are lactose intolerant. Interested in a paradox?"
In fairness, as part of my actual job, I am on Twitter all day long making terrible one-liners, but that's only because it's my job and I am so terribly desperate for the validation of complete strangers. But at least I realize it. As an aside, how are you liking this article? Someone as attractive and smart as you could be off partying with celebrities, but I'm glad you're here with me. Come sit by me. I have pie.
Twitter lets you sit in your underpants eating peanut butter from a jar while you converse with celebrities, entrepreneurs, writers, politicians, psychotics, fame whores and Gladstone. Always Gladstone. There's no buffer zone, no wall. The only thing you have to keep you away from the influx of crazies is your own visibility. The more popular you are, the more attention you get, but the less likely you are to notice it all. Kim Kardashian has 14.5 million followers, several of whom she hasn't had sex with or married. In all of that, she probably has never seen one of my offers to take her out for sandwiches. And I don't give a shit, I will take her right the fuck out for sandwiches. Kim Kardashian, if you see this, I will buy you lunch. Anywhere you like, up to like $30 each. But on Twitter, because so many people are offering her sandwiches or Armenian waxing kits or whatever, she's missing out.
On the flip side, the account I use most often has around 5,000 followers. So if you send me a tweet, not only do I get angry that I have to use the word "tweet" like some kind of misfit toddler out bird-watching, but I'll see it. So if I make a hilarious one-liner about Tony Danza's BO, and you respond by telling me you want to spoon me in a hammock, I'll see that, and I'll always know you thought it, and we'll never be able to hang out, not ever. Unless it's a nice hammock.
#3. Podcasts
Full disclosure -- I do not have a podcast. I was a guest on one once, and it was fun, and I have listened to several and enjoyed them immensely. So how can podcasts be one of the worst things on the Internet? Has the world gone topsy-turvy? Should we all eat arsenic-laced applesauce and masturbate while we die? No. Why would you ask that?
Podcasts are like gremlins. Put that on a T-shirt, future generations will love it. One gremlin is no big deal. It might even be awesome. Remember when Billy had Gizmo at work in New York, in his desk, and it was all adorable and shit? God, Gizmo's a great guy. But then what happened? Some twat dumped water on Bill's hard work and it ran into his drawer and then Gizmo shat out a bunch of prick gremlins and fake Donald Trump nearly lost an entire building full of innocent people and potentially the entire city of New York to ravenous, green assholes with a penchant for slapstick. Which is exactly what happens when podcasting gets out of hand.
Look at that little podcasting fuck.
To better elucidate the value of podcasts, I made this handy formula. It's a little complex, but the math is sound and it holds up under scrutiny, at least according to the janitor, who I assume has Good Will Hunting-like powers. His name's Gus. He makes his own salami. Good guy.
Does anyone know who you are? If yes, then podcast. If no, then shut up.
Now, applying this across the field of podcastery, which is not even a word, so don't jot this part down in your notebooks, you'll see that precisely 1 in 70 podcasts have any merit. The rest are podcasts by your dentist about how he just found the greatest deal on argyle sweaters and the body in the crawl space still seems fresh.
A podcast, like all things on the Internet, refuses to be bound by any rules except those it makes itself. TV shows are usually 30 or 60 minutes in length. Radio shows have DJs who get paid money and, apparently, entertain some people. Movies are generally between 90 and 120 minutes. Gary Fuckchuckle's Smile Time Podcast can be 17 hours straight, then have no new material for a month, then a 30-minute episode followed by an hour episode later that same day, then nothing for a week, until his three fans renounce him forever. Also, having nothing to say doesn't stop most podcasts from existing. That should really be an indicator to shut the fuck up. But it isn't.

My teen daughter hopes to become a doctor and wants to know if there's anything she can do now to start preparing.
– Vanessa
At this point, your daughter's focus should be on learning how to study and getting good grades. There are many biology books she can read, but a good doctor should know about a lot of things in general, so her reading shouldn't be limited just to science.
She also can think about volunteering or observing in a health care setting, such as a hospital or doctor's office. Some medical schools even have summer programs for high school students to give them a taste of what it's like to go to med school. And some hospitals have internships and programs geared toward high school students who are interested in careers in medicine.

A former basketball coach from Las Cruces has been indicted on federal child pornography charges.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Erik Khan was indicted by a federal grand jury in Albuquerque on Wednesday.
The three-count indictment charges the 32-year-old Khan with distributing, receiving and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Khan's arraignment has not yet been scheduled.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday with Khan's attorney.
Khan was employed as a basketball coach at a Las Cruces middle school when he was arrested in May. He has been in federal custody since then.
Prosecutors say the alleged offenses occurred in Dona Ana County between February 2010 and April 2012.

Frequently Asked Questions for Augason Farms Food Storage Products:
Q: How will my product be shipped?
A: Most items are shipped by small parcel carriers like FedEx or UPS. The larger kits will arrive in multiple boxes from a single carrier.
Q: What do the numbers mean that are marked on my Food Storage Kit Boxes?
A: To facilitate fulfillment of your order, all kit boxes are pre-assembled with specific products. Then pulled from inventory to assemble your order. Numbers on the boxes may not be in sequential order. Please refer to the link below for a PDF file that describes what should be arriving in each of the kit boxes.
Pail items will be shipped in separate cases.
Q: Why when I open the cans/pails, are some only partially filled?
A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans/Pails are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can/pail is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.
- Beans, Freeze Dried Fruits & Vegetables, Grains: 30 years (Exception – Brown Rice: 7 years)
- Bakery Staples: 30 years (Exception – Ultimate Gel, Shortening Powder, Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Dough Enhancer: 10 years)
- Dehydrated Fruits & Vegetables: 25 years (Exception – Banana Slices, Potato Gems: 10 years)

Q: Where should I store my product?
A: Product is best when stored in a cool dry place at temperatures between 55˚F and 70˚F (ideal humidity 15%). Once product is open please insure the lid is secure when storing and use within the guidelines.
Q: Does heat or cold affect the shelf life of the product?
A: Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life.
Q: How do I compare "servings per can" to product weight?
A: The truth is you cannot. Our serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to Government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible.
For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1095 total meals), 1700 calories per day.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
A: Small dents may occur in cans from shipping and this is normal. They do not pose a problem, provided the seal has not been broken at top or bottom of the can. If the seal has been broken at the top or bottom of the can, please contact Sam's Club Customer Service to resolve the issue. (1.888.746.7726)
Dents should not occur from shipping in pails.
Q: Are the cans marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans/Pails are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 12022 means the can was produced in 2012 on the 22nd day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

7 Things No One Tells You About Moving to a New Country
We at Cracked are experts at moving house. Often at great speed, barely ahead of grizzled detectives we've pushed over the edge. (They were easier to push because they had nothing to lose, and so weren't carrying much.) When people send us mail they just follow the trail of chiefs' desks cracked by someone slamming down their badge and gun. For express delivery they toss it in the back of a speeding police car.
Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty
Brockway's alarm clock
Brockway has already covered the delights of moving, but that was a move within a country. The only border was the karmic fault lines between L.A. and places where the human soul doesn't dissolve. For the full moving experience you need to cross the planet. I recently transplanted my entire life from Toronto to Oxford, England. Because I was sick and tired of nobody having an accent.
Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images News/Getty Images
They don't even say "oot." IT'S A POLITE LIE!
For anyone considering a transoceanic move, I have some important lessons.
#7. Get Rid of Stuff Right Now
As soon as you decide where you're going, pick up something precious and hurl it out the window. This will get you into the right attitude for what comes next. If you break the window, even better, as the increasing discomfort will motivate you to move and also make things easier for thieves. Or as I now call them, "Helpful Crap-Moving Buddies."
Photos.com/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
Zero moving fees!
I divided my belongings into "Stuff I Want to Bring Bring" and "Stuff I Can Sell," and only a day before the flight realized this left a third quantity: "Crap" A vast quantity. It's the missing matter of the universe. It's not "dark" matter, it was just covered in dust and stacked on shelves behind useful things and ignored for so long that even quantum mechanics had forgotten it was there.
You'll invite friends round to take whatever they want. That's the wrong attitude. They'll only take the cool stuff you could shift on Craigslist anyway. You need to lock them in your house, Saw-style, with a pressure plate-activated door that only opens when they carry sufficient weight out of your home.
#6. Camp at Home
Pitch a tent in your sitting room and start burning furniture for warmth. This has the twin benefits of making anywhere you go look good and constantly reducing the volume of crap you'll have to deal with.
"Forget that new job. Let's just stay home and capture door-to-door marketers for food."
This simple life means you can sell/give away everything in your house. Because anything kept to the last minute will go unsold. Unsold to assholes who say they definitely want it and then call back five hours before your flight to demand you drive it to a small town you've never heard of despite living in the country for almost a decade. Which you couldn't do even if you had a car, were able to drive, didn't hate them now, and weren't currently pressure-testing your relationship by playing five-dimensional clothing Tetris with three-dimensional suitcases.
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
#5. The Real Work is Paperwork
The government doesn't care when you move within a country, because you're still their problem either way. And there's a decent chance you'll disappear into a drifter's "organic leather" collection on the way. You can drive from New York to San Francisco with nothing but a convertible and an almost-fatal lack of need for your own time.
Photos.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Continuing in a straight line, using up irreplaceable fluids that were once life, realizing the metaphor of life as a highway is a little bit too accurate.
It's a bit more complicated when two people from different countries move from a third country to a fourth. That's enough for a World Cup qualifier bracket, and I think we involved as many support staff. When you try to enter a country, they understand that the pen is mightier than the sword and use that fact to mount an armed defense. Because both blades and paperwork can kill you with a thousand cuts. This is now standard. The last people to move across this kind of distance without an effective Masters in Form-Filling did it because they were carrying M1 Garands, which I can't recommend these days, no matter how frustrating the paperwork gets.

This is my rifle, this is my gun! It ain't no use for fillin' T1s!
We spent weeks murdering trees, ritually defacing their flesh with ink to satisfy the arcane gods of bureaucracy, a ceremony that revealed some bizarre things. For example, I discovered that I'm British.
Rather, I'm dual-citizenship Irish and British. A nationality isn't normally something you discover late in life, finding a Union Jack stuffed down the back of the shamrocked sofa of your citizenship. When Ireland went through one of its standard "NO WORK ANYWHERE" periods, my father engaged the standard Irish crisis-response of "LEAVE." Mum went to keep him company, and did such a good job she earned that job description. We later returned to the Emerald Isle to make sure I was fitted with the best possible accent.
Conversely my wife, the Lovely Lady X, learned that earning a Ph.D. in genetics in English from an English-speaking university in an English-speaking country for a quite extraordinarily English (and member of the Royal Society) professor doesn't prove that you can speak English. They suspected that she completed her doctorate in advanced developmental biology through crude charades and interpretive dance.
Photos.com/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
"I'm portraying tissue-specific chromatin remodeling complexes!"
Also, for security purposes all border staff are kept in sealed boxes, communicating with the outside world only through a complicated system of knocks and body odors. Making it impossible for them to pick up the phone for thirty seconds to check if someone speaks English. Or if an entire University speaks English. So we delayed our move for an entire season while she sat on an elementary English exam.
#4. Money is Fuel
Money is obviously important when planning a move. You need to carefully calculate how much money you'll need to pay all your expenses, add a bit for unexpected problems, then double that and pray it's enough. Money is the fuel that makes the trip possible, but this isn't fuel like a gas tank. This is fuel like a game of F-Zero, where you need to constantly fire boosters to get past every unexpected obstacle and power shields against unexpected disasters.
And next time I'm moving in a Fire Stingray.
My Valentine's present for the Lovely Lady X wasn't chocolates or jewelry - it was paying the overweight shipping fee on two suitcases. Because our marriage would have sooner survived opening a Pandoran box of Hellraiser puzzle-cubes than any of those suitcases again.
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"I could save space by removing his sweaters and only packing HIS HEAD."
In the final stages of this life-changing event, you realize that material belongings don't bring happiness. In fact, they actively stress-murder happiness when dealing with trans-pacific shipping. So you'll need money to replace all the belongings you spent the last hour filing in a big heap under "Screw it."

Two people were hospitalized after suffering from smoke inhalation and minor burns in a house fire in Edmond on Wednesday, firefighters said.
Fire officials said the fire at a home on 44th Street near Coltrane and Memorial roads started about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Two people inside the home said they called 911 after seeing flames coming from their attic.
A car was on fire outside the home when firefighters arrived, officials said.
The victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The house was destroyed in the fire, officials said.
Firefighters said getting water to fight the fire was difficult because there were no nearby hydrants and the driveway was 300 yards long.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Weaver won't seek position on City Council
April 29, 2013
SALEM — City Council President Mickey Cope Weaver said she won't be seeking a Council-At-Large seat or a return to the President's chair this year, announcing Sunday that her time in city government......
Can't say I always agreed with Mickey's political views however the times I watched council meetings on TV, I thought she ran a very profession and fair council meeting. I think she is really a lady that in her own way cares deeply for the City. Best wishes Mrs. Weaver in your future endeavors. Thank you for being a fair and caring council president.

PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest encourages children to create original stories and illustrations

PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest
encourages children to create original stories and illustrations
PITTSBURGH – WQED Pittsburgh is kicking off the new year with the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest for students in grades kindergarten through third, a national initiative designed to promote the advancement of children's reading skills through hands-on, active learning. 2012 marks the eighteenth year that WQED has offered the Contest to the region and the third year that EQT Corporation is sponsoring WQED's contest in partnership with West Virginia Public Broadcasting (WV PBS.) Also partnering with WQED this year is Penn State Public Broadcasting (WPSU) which serves central Pennsylvania. A central website, writeonkids.org, provides information about the Contest and the local enrichment opportunities offered in each station area.
"By offering the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest to our region, we are encouraging early learners to explore their creativity while developing essential literacy skills," said Jennifer Stancil, Executive Director of Educational Partnerships at WQED. "WQED's commitment to literacy and to nurturing children's creative expression is unwavering, and we are delighted to offer this Contest again locally in partnership with our sister stations, WV PBS and WPSU. Research shows that creative writing can enhance and improve a child's literacy development, and through this Contest, we are helping prepare children for learning and success, in school and beyond."
Beginning January 14, 2012, WQED, WV PBS, WPSU and other PBS stations throughout the country will work with schools, public libraries and other education organizations to implement the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest in their communities. To celebrate the beginning of the Contest and distribute related materials, WQED will host the openings of two new PBS KIDS Library Corners, the first in the region, at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library in Carnegie on January 26 and at the Homestead Library on February 2. These events, primarily for school groups, will also feature appearances by characters from the popular PBS KIDS programs, SUPER WHY! and The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That! The Saturday Light Brigade, a key local partner in the 2012 Contest, will also install and debut two new Story Boxes that highlight winning stories from the 2011 Contest, read by the student authors themselves. A Story Box is a wall-mounted or tabletop box, the face of which contains pictures with "hot spots" that are pressed to hear audio tracks.
For more information on the PBS KIDS Writers Contest in West Virginia, Southwestern Pennsylvania, and Central Pennsylvania, including entry forms, rules, contest resources, and local event listings, go to www.writeonkids.org
In order to equip parents and teachers to best support their students' contest entries, WQED will conduct three one-hour webinars on issues related to writing and illustration.
To register for:
• "Writing and Editing" January 25 at 3:30 p.m. with elementary school teacher Caley Svensson;
• "Ideation to Storyboarding" February 8 at 3:30 p.m. with local children's author Michael Scotto;
• "Illustration" March 7 at 3:30 p.m. with Joe Wos, Executive Director of the Toonseum
go to www.writeonkids.org or click on the webinar titles above.
WQED, WV PBS and WPSU will select local winners and award prizes. Local winners will be entered into the national level of the Contest where a panel of judges will select the winners. National winners will be announced and prizes – including tablets, e-readers and MP3 players – will be awarded during summer 2012.
For the second year in a row, WQED has partnered with The Saturday Light Brigade to invite winners and honorable mentions from the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest to record their stories live in the Saturday Light Brigade radio studios at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh; these recordings will be made on April 28. Winning stories will be aired by The Saturday Light Brigade as part of their Youth Expression Showcase, archived on SLB's website, matched with individual author's stories in the "Previous Winners" section of the Contest website, and included in new versions of The Saturday Light Brigade's contest storyboxes.
This year's winners' celebration will be held in the historic Fred Rogers' Studio at WQED in Oakland on May 12 and will feature performances of the winners' stories that have been transformed into puppet plays.

About Saturday Light Brigade
SLB Radio Productions, Inc. (SLB) uses radio and audio to encourage, amplify, share and archive the ideas, stories, and feelings of children, youth and families. SLB believes in radio and audio because these technologies enable a sense of intimacy, engagement and self-directed imagination that is often lacking in other media, while also promoting opportunities for privacy (given that children need not be photographed), equal access (audio has fewer barriers for participation than other media), and sharpening of important life skills (i.e., speaking and listening, imagination, creative expression, and critical thinking, respect for others, confidence and cooperation, and technical curiosity).
About PBS KIDS GO!

Dave Richards: My DVR is clogged with great shows
It's not easy for me to fall for new TV shows. They require a major investment of time.
I already have favorites: "Breaking Bad," "Walking Dead," "Game of Thrones," "Mad Men," "Homeland," "Modern Family," "Doctor Who," "True Blood," "Nurse Jackie," and "Face Off," not to mention guilty pleasures.
You really don't want to know I watch "Project Runway" with my daughter, do you? And, um, Joan Rivers' "Fashion Police."
Squeezing in more TV is more challenging than playing Words Free with George Will. The DVR fills up too fast. There are movies I recorded in fall 2009 that I haven't watched yet.
Despite the odds, three more dramas have joined the must-see list, though the inner critic in me is dubious about two of them.
One is "The Following," a Fox series in which an incarcerated serial killer unleashes an elaborate plan through "followers." He is, basically, a charismatic cult leader with a willing horde of folks in the real world who do his bidding. These folks include lawyers and police officers who suddenly reveal themselves as loyal to him at key dramatic moments for ultimate twist denouement.
Kevin Bacon plays the former cop who caught the killer years ago at great cost; he now wears a pacemaker and is chasing him again. He also had an affair with the serial killer's wife.
With this show, you don't just suspend disbelief, you put it in the trash for Monday pickup. "The Following" is preposterous. Yet, it's from Kevin Williamson ("Scream"), so it's ripping, gripping entertainment. Some twist always gets me. I have to see how it plays out.
FX's "The Americans" involve Russian spies posing as a happily married couple in suburbia during the Reagan years. The kids don't know that Daddy and Mommy are really the equivalent of Boris and Natasha. Their neighbor happens to be a key FBI agent who's supposed to catch Russian agents.
The Russians were strangers when assigned together and are so dedicated to duty, they do unspeakable things (i.e., sleep with the enemy) to get information. After all these years of posing as a couple, they might be falling in love.
Crazy, right? But it's written at a high level, so you must pay attention, and "The Americans" knows how to ratchet up suspense. You can catch up with this one; FX will air the first five episodes in a row starting today at 10 p.m.
I just started another drama, the Netflix series "House of Cards," with Kevin Spacey as a Southern congressman who's so miffed after he's not named Secretary of State that he connives a cunning revenge. This may be the best of the bunch, and no waiting is required. All 13 episodes are available now for binge viewing.
My weekend is booked.

We have an Accord & a Civic both 2005 models owned from New
They are both average cars but have had a few major issue over the last 6-7 years
Timming chain failed , Manifold Failed both were replaced under the Honda extended warranty since the car was over 5 years old at the time. Fuel consumption was reasonable, no where near the 50mpg as stated for the 2.2i-cdti more in the range of 32 mpg.
Civic, type S
Bearing has failed in the gearbox twice over 6-7 years, Honda have recalled some models but not the 1.6 type S version. so much for reliability
we wont be buying Honda's again, Gona go back to BMW's

iHerb カスタマーレビュー
のセーブ: ¥102 (9 % オフ)
Reviewer1267509により May 06, 2010 に掲載
Hope your mouth is strong enough for this product. This Cinna Mint may burn your mouth besides the proclaimed benefits. Ordered four bottles of this flavor when iherb was short on the Cool Mint flavor. Tears came out after about 25 seconds of rinse and swish. Whoever formulated this "Cinna Mint" has different intention in mind in compared with the "Cool Mint" flavor. Both flavors has the same ingredients listed on their labels, but Cinna Mint burns. It took more than a week for the mouth to heal. Tried again with 50% water and 50% Cinna Mint, and it "burned" the tongue after about 30 seconds. Other products such as Perio Brite Toothpaste, PerioWash "Cool Mint", and PerioRub( especially after burned by the Cinna Mint) are all user friendly products; but PerioWash "Cinna Mint" brings more pains than benefits. Well, this is a pure personal experience, and hope you are one of those people with 5 stars and a strong mouth for it. If you are not, PerioWash " Cool Mint" is a good choice, or you can try Biotene if "Cool Mint" is too strong,too. Anyway, hope you will find your dream mouthwash without too much pain and unpleasant experience.
Burns whole mouth
Reviewer1705781により Jan 07, 2010 に掲載
I've used this about 4 times and I find it burns my whole mouth. Now I have several ulcers, inflamed gums, tongue(on top and underneath) and the uppermost part of my mouth feels like I've drank something steaming hot. I had a simiar experience with Now Foods toothpaste with cinnamon. t could be that I'm allergic to the cinnamon or a combinations of ingredients. I don't have this problem with the other 2 mouthwashes from the same brand. And I am someone who likes chilli, this mouthwash isn't spicy, just burns and cause my mouth to become very sensitive now.
Strong flavor
Reviewer1078931により Dec 02, 2009 に掲載
You must like cinnamon. And I do. Might be too hot for some. This is my favorite flavor of this brand. It does what it is suppose to do. I will order more again.
Too hot for me!
Reviewer2450668により Jun 05, 2011 に掲載
Even my husband, who LOVES hot, spicy food, found this very hot. It burns too much to use.
Worst burn than other cheap mouthwashes
Reviewer3064175により Aug 20, 2011 に掲載
I accidentally ordered two bottles of Nature's Answer, PerioWash, Alcohol-Free Mouthwash, Cinna Mint, I regularly order the Cool Mint flavor which I have enjoyed for years. When I first tried the Cinna Mint I did a double take on the label because after a few swishes my mouth was ON FIRE!, well it felt like it was. When I called iHerb Cust Serv they said I was out of luck and to order the correct one next time, well there isn't going to be a next time, there are far too many online stores that would appreciate doing business with me.
Tingly but mild
pickier-than-thouにより Feb 10, 2010 に掲載
Cute spicy flavor, not really freshening though. Maybe there are other benefits that will show up sometime... Anyway, if my gums will ever stop bleeding, I'll sure let you know!
Too strong
Specialistにより Nov 09, 2011 に掲載
The directions do not say to dilute this product with any water. I can't handle the burning from the cinnamon if I use it straight. I've been diluting it but may not be getting the benefits because of that. I use the toothpaste and like it, so I tried the cool mint flavor. I like that one much better, even though some batches are stronger than others. They need to get their batches consistant.
Harsh harsh harsh
Reviewer1658116により Jan 31, 2011 に掲載
Waaaay too hot and stingy for my gums, made them blood red!
Love the taste; works well

Love the taste; works well.
Love It!
divelanaiにより Mar 24, 2011 に掲載
Love everything about it! It can be "hot" but that is what I love. :) Tastes great, only need a small amount and it's much healthier and full of benefits unlike most mouthwashes that are just for "fresh breath"

Fire officials are investigating a Manteca playground fire at a school for special-needs students as arson.
The Manteca Fire Department called the playground at John McFall School a complete loss after a blaze destroyed the equipment around 5:30 p.m. on Monday.
Firefighters said it was difficult to get to the fire because access near the play area was not possible with a fire engine.
Arson investigators are looking into the cause of the fire after fire crews said the origin of the blaze was suspicious.
The Manteca Bulletin reported that there was an estimated $60,000 in damage.
No residential areas were affected.

First quarter: Coughing it up
Bills running back Fred Jackson has fumbled more than usual this season. Jackson fumbled on a run up the middle at the St. Louis 14 to foil a 52-yard march by the Bills. It was Jackson's fourth lost fumble and fifth fumble overall. Jackson has a fumble for every 30 touches this season.
Last year Jackson fumbled only twice, or once every 105 touches.
Key plays: The Bills got a 35-yard field goal from Rian Lindell for the only points of the quarter.
Ball hogs: The Bills held the ball for 11 minutes.
Third down and out: The Bills held Jacksonville to just 1 of 10 conversions last week. The Rams failed on each of their first three third-down tries. A well-timed blitz on a third-and-10 play helped force an incompletion on the third Rams try.
Second-guess: C.J. Spiller picked up a first down with a nifty 15-yard gain on a screen pass to the Rams' 42-yard line. However, Spiller went to the sideline and was off the field for the next five plays. The Bills moved into position for Lindell's field goal.
Second quarter: Whistle stop
The Bills' defense kept the Rams under wraps in the second quarter and almost came up with a score.
Bills linebacker Bryan Scott made a good breakup of a short pass at the Buffalo 38 and cornerback Stephon Gilmore intercepted the deflection. Gilmore returned the pickoff 62 yards for an apparent touchdown but Kyle Moore was called for holding against Rams tackle Barry Richardson on Gilmore's return. The Bills took over at the Rams' 49 and drove to a 40-yard Rian Lindell field goal.
Replays showed Moore did not commit a hold, but Saffold dived to the ground to make it look like a penalty.
"He deserves an Oscar for his performance," Moore said. "I pulled up [on the block]. I let it go."
Second-guess: The Bills did not manage the clock well at the end of the half. They had first down at the Rams' 34 with 1:04 left and all three timeouts but never took a shot downfield. It would have been better to call timeout with 51 seconds left after a Fitzpatrick pass to Fred Jackson went for no gain. Jackson was on the field for a run two plays later instead of Spiller.
Third quarter: In good hands
Bills No. 2 tight end Lee Smith has four catches this season and two are for touchdowns.
Smith capped the Bills' 75-yard, third-quarter drive with a 2-yard TD catch. It was a typical sucker bootleg pass near the goal line. The Bills lined up in a bunched-up, "jumbo" formation. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick faked a handoff and ran a bootleg to the right. Smith sneaked off the line of scrimmage and was wide open in the end zone. The score gave the Bills a 12-7 edge with 3:26 left in the quarter. (Holder Shawn Powell dropped the snap on the extra-point try, which failed.)
Smith, the Bills' 6-foot-6, 265-pound blocking tight end, averages 17 plays a game, or 25 percent of the snaps.
Key plays: The Rams took the second-half kickoff and drove 70 yards in 11 plays to a touchdown. Steven Jackson converted it on a 1-yard plunge with 8:37 left.
Best vault: Fred Jackson vaulted over low-diving Rams defender Quintin Mikell for an extra-effort 7-yard gain that converted a third-and-6 play on the Bills' scoring drive. The play moved the ball to the Rams' 27.
Fourth quarter: Sam's the man
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford showed the talent of an NFL No. 1 overall draft pick with the game on the line.
The Rams' third-year quarterback drove his team 84 yards in 14 plays to the winning touchdown, a 13-yard pass to Brandon Gibson with 48 seconds left.
"[Bradford] understands what's going on," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "He has respect for the defense, respect for their cover ability. We even talked about it last night. There's gonna be some balls knocked down. There's gonna be times where we get off the field on third down without converting. But if we just hang in there, someone needs to make a play. And he did."
Bradford completed a 9-yard pass on a fourth-and-1 play and a 13-yard pass on a third-and-10.
Good punt: Rams punter Johnny Hekker managed to boot the ball 25 yards after the snap went over his head on the first play of the quarter. The punt only managed to get back to the line of scrimmage. But he kept it from being blocked, and the Bills could not convert the short field into a score.
