Barbara Ellen Phillips Grindle, 84, a well-known florist and who, with her family, owned and operated Dodd's Greenhouse of Elkins, departed this life early Sunday morning, March 3, 2013, in Valentine Personal Care Home at Elkins, surrounded by her devoted family, friends and Marlene with Hospice Care.
She was born Wednesday, July 18, 1928, at Elkins, a daughter of the late Howard Gordon and Beulah Goff Phillips.
On June 15, 1947, at Elkins, she married the love of her life, Paul Robert Grindle, who survives. They had celebrated 65 years of marriage.

Also surviving are one daughter, Beverly Diane Reger and husband, Dave, of Buckhannon; one son, William Howard "Bill" Grindle of Elkins, who is associated with his parents in the family business for 40 years; two grandsons, William "Paul" Grindle and Matthew David Reger and wife, Carrie; and three great-grandsons, West and new-born twins, Will and Hutch Reger. Her love extended to her surviving nephews, nieces and their extended families: DeNeal and Cathy Phillips, Pam and Marc Repp, Stephen Phillips, Tammy Phillips, Cynthia and Bruce Kolsun, Rod Phillips, Connie and Dan Hoover; Kathy and Gary Fairies, Mark Phillips and Jennifer and Lee Grier; and a brother-in-law, Charles Kelly.
She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Preceding her in death were four brothers, DeNeal E. Phillips and wife, Mary, Hayward C. Phillips and wife, Barbara, Harold G. Phillips and wife, Kathryn, and Robert G. "Bob" Phillips; one sister, Janet Faye Kelley; and a special daughter-in-law, Rosilee Grindle.
She was a graduate of Elkins High School with the class of 1946. She attended Davis & Elkins College before marrying Paul and starting their family on Dent Street in Elkins. Throughout her floral career, she attended numerous schools of floral design. Barbara was a member of First United Methodist Church of Elkins, and Circle No. 5 of the church, Randolph Chapter 74 Order of the Eastern Star, Ladies of Knights Templar and John Hart Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a past member of Floral Telegraph Delivery Association and a current member of Teleflora. She was a master designer in the 77-year-old family-owned floral/greenhouse business since 1954. As the business continues, her legacy will be remembered.
Barbara, known as "Bar" to those who loved her, will be especially remembered for her kind spirit, her giving ways and thinking of others before herself. Designing arrangements, answering the business telephone and engaging customers extended her gentle, kind manner to anyone whom met her. She never met a stranger and enjoyed sharing bits and pieces of her life with others. She was proud of her family and their accomplishments. The simple life of going to work, brightening the lives of others with her floral designs, as well as sharing memories with her family fulfilled her. She will be missed by all.
The family will receive friends at Lohr & Barb Funeral Home of Elkins from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Final rites will be conducted at the funeral home Thursday, March 7, at 1:30 p.m. The Rev. Barry R. Moll will officiate, and interment will follow in Maplewood Cemetery at Elkins. There will be a celebration of life dinner following the committal at First United Methodist Church.
Lohr & Barb Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements for Barbara Ellen Phillips Grindle. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.lohrbarbfuneralhome.com.

An automatic sprinkler system is almost always the largest user of water in a home. If you're looking for a way to save water it makes sense to focus on the big uses. It doesn't get any bigger than the sprinkler system.
From a horticultural standpoint, over-irrigation occurs much too often. However, it is most prevalent in the cooler fall months when summer irrigation schedules have not been revised to meet the current weather conditions. Over-irrigation causes three basic problems.
There are a number of ways to reduce outdoor water use and automatic irrigation and all of these recommendations are explored in great detail in this web site. Saving water outdoors depends on a number of factors including the type of plant material, the soil, landscaping practices, climate, irrigation system efficiency, etc. It can all be a bit overwhelming. Many water utilities offer free landscape audits. An audit is a great opportunity to meet with a local expert and discuss ways to improve efficiency on your specific landscape. Contact your utility for information on these programs.
Ways to Save Water with Your Automatic Sprinkler System
Improving irrigation efficiency is a win-win situation all around. You save money on your water bill and your landscape gets the water it needs without waste. What could be better?

A proposal that would make witness intimidation, for the first time, a federal offense with harsh punishments is welcome news for law enforcement.
Congress should act promptly to approve the State Witness Protection Act, sponsored by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.
Failure to do a better job of protecting those brave enough to step forward will have dire consequences in the fight against crime.
Witness intimidation, as the senator said in Buffalo the other day, has become a national issue and should be addressed at that level.
News staff reporter Lou Michel's chronicle of an East Side family believed to have been targeted Oct. 31 by a gunman trying to keep a witness from testifying in a drive-by shooting is but one stark example.
Tara Hall is now paralyzed from the waist down. It was her daughter, Yasmine, who was going back and forth on whether to identify to authorities the gunman in a drive-by shooting outside a neighborhood store in May.
Schumer attributed the lack of arrests in homicides in Buffalo to witness intimidation. He said only 12 of the 50 homicides last year ended in arrests. It's a recurring complaint he has heard from national associations of district attorneys and police chiefs.
Witness intimidation has to be reduced, and the measures Schumer has come up with could provide the necessary deterrent.
Killing a witness can already lead to the death penalty in federal court. But the penalties for other cases of intimidation need toughening.
Increasing the maximum penalty to 30 years, up from 25 under state law, for attempted murder or the use of force against a witness is intended to send a stronger message.
The legislation would also set a maximum of 20 years in prison for other types of witness intimidation, an increase from seven years under current state law.
Policing the streets is tough enough, but it is made much more difficult when key witnesses stay silent. It's difficult to completely blame them when they know witnesses in other cases have been injured or killed.
Police and the District Attorney's Office have worked to deal with the problem, but getting to the right solution requires all levels of government.
Law enforcement and the judicial system cannot work without the help of citizens. And they should not be silenced by thugs.

Oxygen can be delivered in several ways:
Oxygen can be given through a flexible plastic tube inserted
in the nostrils (nasal cannula) or through a face mask.
Selecting the type of oxygen supply should be based on your
ability to move around. People who seldom leave the house may find an oxygen
concentrator gives the best combination of convenience and cost. More active
people may have an oxygen concentrator at home and use a portable oxygen tank
when they leave the house.
Oxygen is a fire hazard. It is
important to follow safety measures to keep you and your family safe. With all
oxygen delivery systems, do not use oxygen around lit cigarettes or an open
flame, because the risk of fire or explosion is high. If you or those who care
for you smoke, be sure to think very carefully about using oxygen

TRUCKEE, Calif. - We have had some cool nights and the leaves are starting to change colors. Things are cooling down but everyone still needs to work on defensible space. Make sure pine needles and leaves are cleaned off your roof. There have been several chimney fires in the past few weeks. A chimney fire can easily turn into a roof fire when burning embers from a chimney drop onto the pine needles on your or your neighbor's roof. When was the last time someone inspected your chimney to make sure it has not been damaged by excessive heat, wind, or snow? Does your chimney need cleaning?
The first Sunday of November, daylight saving time will end and it will be time to set your clocks back one hour. As you reset the clocks, be sure to put new batteries in all smoke detectors. Count the smoke detectors now and shop for batteries to have them when you need them. Vacuum the dust out of detectors while the ladder is out.
If a smoke detector is difficult to reach and is battery powered or has a battery back up, install a Lithium 9V Smoke Alarm Battery in it. These special batteries cost more but are rated to last 10 years when used in a smoke detector. If you know the installation date, write it on the inside cover with a felt tip marker. The manufacturer's date is not in a contrasting color and can be difficult to read. If your smoke detectors are more than 10 years old you should replace them.
If you have questions on where or how to install smoke detectors, or questions about their operation or maintenance, call Truckee Fire Protection District at 530-582-7853. We will be more than happy to answer your questions or assist you in making sure you have functional smoke detectors in your home. If you know anyone in Truckee who does not have a working smoke detector in their home, have them call and we will supply them with a battery powered smoke detector. If they need assistance in installing it we can help them. More fire safety information can be found on our website at www.truckeefire.org.

Great little book
By Billh
from Utah
Comments about Rhodia Webnotebook:
I purchased the small because of space concerns in my all ready over stuffed bag. For my needs, it's light, and I carry it in a pocket or my bag, depending. I'm on the go a lot and this little book fits perfectly. Next time I'll get the larger size.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Journal!
By Lyrxt
from New Britain, CT
I have owned numerous journals through the years and they all have their up sides and down sides. This one is mostly upside. Well made, sturdy and works well with my fountain pens. Love it. Would definitely recommend the Rhodia Web Journal for purchase. My preference is the large size.
Essential for any writer on the go
By JJSBuffalo
from Buffalo, NY
I no longer leave the house without my this journal on my person. Its small enough to fit in my front or back pocket, study enough to hold true to form over time without wear or compromising the pages, large enough to write onto the pages comfortably, with paper of high enough quality that I use my fountain pen without second thought of feathering, smudging, or bleeding.
Must have notebooks
By EdinMaine
from Maine
These notebooks have come to be go everywhere/do everything assets for me. They are fountain pen frinedly, which I appreciate, and for a given area of interest, in my case, Parks and Lands volunteer work, bike-ped volunteer work, conservation and open space issues, everything goes in one notebook, chronologically. No digging through files, it is all right here, much more compact and easy to keep track of than an electronic device, laptop, or notepad. For other areas of interest, I simply slap an appropriate sticker on the cover, no confusion, grab and go. Don't know how I lived so long without them.
Must Have for Me
By dwh53
from Upstate NY
Travel lots and am a journalist and this is my "must have" item in my go bag. It is one of those small luxuries I afford myself. My wife often gives me one for Christmas and is one of the best gifts I get. Rhodia sooooo rocks.
Great Quality & Writing Pleasure
By Harbona
from Clovis, CA
This journal is excellent quality and the paper is great for writing with a fountain pen. This is my first time trying this larger size journal and I enjoy both sizes.
Great for Meeting Notes
By ChiefMac
from Chicago, IL
I use it for work notes, especially meetings and brainstorming. Perfect size for carrying around the office. Great paper for any pen. The smaller one is good to carry around town on errands. Great paper. Levenger is the best.
Good Book
By Barton
from Syr NY
Best paper made. Excellent for fountain pens; but, fine nibs work best. Pretty costly when one accounts for the shipping. What can I add? The cost is worth if when one considers than one's recorded words will last for all time! Get one! you need it, and it just looks and feels so elegant! sMake sure your pen is appropriate for this book. If not, order a new one from Levenger at the same time!
Wonderful Experience and Great Product
By AG10
from Undisclosed
The experience of ordering from Levenger has been absolutely wonderful. The process was easy to understand and the product is not only top quality, but it is also stylishly elegant. A perfect corporate holiday gift.
Rhodia paper + notebook - a winner
By Bearma
from Cincinnati, OH
Rhodia paper provides an excellent surface for fountain pen ink. This product is especially nice since it combines quality paper within a conveniently sized notebook, just right for my purse or pocket. Beautiful cover as well!

As the Lancaster School Board continues the task of crafting the district's 2013-14 budget, several members Monday complained about a lack of support from the region's state representatives.
The members who attended a Saturday event for area school board members and state legislators said they came away with the impression the legislators aren't engaged on the issues facing local school districts and are making unrealistic suggestions for how districts can cut spending or raise revenue.
This frustration came out shortly before the board's second scheduled budget work session, as district officials prepare a fiscal plan while waiting for the state to determine how much it will spend on education.
"They have no clue what is going on," board Vice President Marie MacKay said of legislators during Monday's meeting in the chilly Lancaster Middle School auditorium.
The meeting came two days after the session for state senators, Assembly members and members of the Erie County Association of School Boards. The Lancaster board members who attended Saturday's session said state representatives don't seem to understand how carefully board members scrutinize their budgets to find ways to balance spending with their revenue.
MacKay said one member of the State Legislature urged districts to cut "luxuries," prompting MacKay to ask whether Advanced Placement courses would be considered a luxury.
"Unfortunately, you're dealing with people who've been given power but don't know what to do with it," said board member Brenda Christopher, recalling lobbying trips to Albany that left her unimpressed.
MacKay and board member Wendy Buchert also bristled as they recalled an idea proposed by State Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, to allow districts to sell ads on the sides of their school buses. Grisanti has introduced legislation to this effect, but MacKay said school buses are painted yellow as a safety measure for their student riders.
"We understand that budgets are tight, that is why we are working on options for school districts to curb those funding gaps," Doug Curella, Grisanti's chief of staff and legal counsel, said in a statement Tuesday. "If the Lancaster School District does not want to do this, they don't have to, the legislation calls for a local option."
Board President Kenneth Graber, attempting to strike a conciliatory tone Monday, conceded attendees at Saturday's session received "stock answers" from the state legislators, but he said several legislators have met individually with him and other Lancaster members.
In addition to Grisanti, the representatives at Saturday's Legislative Breakfast included Assemblyman Dennis H. Gabryszak, D-Cheektowaga, whose district includes Lancaster, and State Sen. Michael H. Ranzenhofer, R-Amherst.
Monday's budget work session covered the district's proposed spending on technology and BOCES, two relatively small portions of the budget.
Also Monday, Michael J. Vallely, the assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and pupil personnel services, presented the district's 2011-12 school report card.
Highlights include stellar performances, when compared with the region's other school districts, on the tests including Grade 3, 4, 5 and 6 math and Grade 6 English language arts test. Vallely also touted the growing number of students taking and scoring well on AP exams. He commended a drop from the 53 high school students who dropped out seven years ago to the three who dropped out last year.
"Three's too many, but we're getting better," Vallely said.

The Allegany County man who claims to own half of Facebook was detained Wednesday as part of the new criminal case against him.
A federal judge in Manhattan ruled that Paul Ceglia should be kept in federal custody unless he posts a $250,000 bond, backed by his family's real estate holdings, as bail.
If Ceglia does post the bond, he would be required to wear an electronic monitoring device and be prohibited from traveling more than 15 miles from his home in Wellsville until he appears in Manhattan federal court.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged Ceglia with wire and mail fraud in connection with his civil lawsuit claiming partial ownership of Facebook. The civil suit is still pending in Buffalo federal court.

It should be a very busy Sunday out there before you retreat to take your little munchkins trick-or-treating, or perhaps just hand out the candy to the masses who descend upon your residence.
There is plenty of NFL football to keep you occupied with some key games, including Minnesota squaring off later against New England in a game that will go a long way towards determining the Vikings' playoff future.
Keep an eye on the Brett Favre situation on the field. The embattled quarterback is listed as questionable to play today because of an ankle injury, and Coach Brad Childress says it will be a game-time decision.
If Favre doesn't play, that would be the most notable story on this NFL Sunday. It would snap his 291-game streak of consecutive starts, an NFL record.
Also today, we've got Round 3 of the BCS rankings, Don't expect too much change at the top, with Auburn and Oregon both winning convincingly on the road yesterday.
Game 4 of the World Series will get underway later tonight, with San Francisco facing Texas with a 2-1 lead. It's a pivotal game, with the Giants sending Madison Bumgarner to the mound against Tommy Hunter.
We'll keep you informed about all the major happenings of the sports world right here.

NOTE: I didn't see tonight's attempt, but it sounded similar to what I will mention.
This is more of an observation than a critique (the guy has scored more shootout goals than anyone).
But has anyone noticed that Pav has kind of regulated himself to using the same move everytime in shootouts? He either finishes backhand or pulls it to his quick forehand move.
For a guy as creative as Pav, I'm kind of surprised he uses one move (with 2 finishes?) so much...
This is the backhand:

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
To provide a more comprehensive genetic analysis of patient tumor tissues requires a technology that is not only suitable for assessing multiple genes but also sensitive enough to do so using minimal amounts of sample.
Jin Li, M.D., Ph.D., research director, advanced diagnostics, MolecularMD, reported on the company's studies cross validating two commercial NGS cancer panels: Ion Torrent AmpliSeq and Illumina TruSeq. MolecularMD is a privately owned molecular diagnostics company that develops and provides assays for clinical development of targeted cancer therapy.
"As personalized medicine advances, it is important to develop increasingly sensitive clinical assays that provide a much more thorough characterization of tumors with a minimal amount of sample. We developed a cross validation strategy for validating the two commercial panels based on both panels targeting the same 46 genes and sharing similar regions of interest and sensitivities of 2–5% for minor allele detection. Also, by comparing the cancer gene panels, we were able to identify the strengths and shortcomings of each of the sequencing platforms: the Ion Torrent PGM and the Illumina MiSeq."
Dr. Li stated that while both platforms provided solutions for fast screening of critical mutations, there were important differences. "The Ion Torrent was more resistant to low-quality FFPE DNA than the Illumina. It also had the advantage of using only 10 ng FFPE sample. Another finding was that both panels detect single base substitutions and indels, but the Illumina performed this task better on indels in the homopolymers region."
Data analysis can be a significant challenge as well. Dr. Li suggested that a manufacturer's software is often not sufficient for high-level analysis. "We found both panels required solid validation and enhancement by our own software to derive accurate results."
Companion diagnostics are assays that evaluate proteins or genes in order to stratify a patient population to better determine who will respond most favorably (or at all) to a therapeutic.
"This is more an FDA regulatory term since some companies are now required to provide a companion diagnostic whenever they are approved for a therapeutic. The idea is to improve patient treatment by stratifying patients into responder or nonresponder populations," noted Richard Montagna, Ph.D., senior vp, business development, Rheonix.
Dr. Montagna said the challenge for companies is to determine when to invest the time and effort to develop the companion diagnostic for the corresponding therapeutic.
"The problem with investing the effort up front is that the therapeutic or diagnostic could fail in clinical development and then the investment has been wasted. On the other hand, delaying the diagnostic development can jeopardize timely completion of the drug trials as the therapeutic and diagnostic submissions must be FDA-reviewed simultaneously. Moreover, approval for both is required to market the drug. Companies as well as the FDA are grappling with this issue."
In the meantime, Rheonix has developed a fully automated platform for companion diagnostics called the Rheonix CARD® system that processes a range of clinical specimens.
"There are a number of platforms in the market, but none have the versatility that we have been able to achieve for this miniaturized system. For example, many systems evaluate only microliter volumes, but sometimes this is not suitable such as for septicemia. Our microfluidic-driven system uses inexpensive plastic, disposable devices with all the required functionality for multiplexing PCR of samples with volumes from 5 microliters to 5 milliliters."
The system is also suitable for buccal swabs, whole blood, fresh tissue, and FFPE samples. Each can be placed into the system for automatic, unattended cell lysis, DNA extraction and purification, PCR-based amplification of targets, and detection of amplicons on an integrated DNA microarray.
The company will perform its first clinical study at four sites by year-end. "We have developed a Rheonix Warfarin assay for warfarin sensitivity. Patients are given warfarin to reduce the chance of stroke-causing blood clots.
"But warfarin is metabolized differently depending on patients' genotypes. If the drug is metabolized too rapidly, they risk throwing a clot; too slowly, and they risk bleeding out in the brain. Currently assessments are made by repetitive blood tests that take weeks or months to get the right dose. Using our CARD system, a definitive test can be done within a few hours."
Rheonix also has programs using the CARD technology to detect the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with Plavix sensitivity and KRAS markers, among others.
Clearly, the arena of molecular diagnostics is a field on the move. Modifying and integrating technologies such as PCR-based target enrichment, NGS, and mass spectrometry are leading candidates for new synergistic approaches.

6 Scientific Reasons Social Networks Are Bad for Society
More real social interaction than all of MySpace.
PDF: "Narcissism and Social Networking Web Sites"
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 34 (10), 2008, p 1303-1314
Narcissism is excessive self-love, inflated self-importance and unjustified feelings of entitlement. Along with electrons, it is the primary active ingredient in the Internet. Three years ago, psychologists decided to publish a research paper on its prevalence on social networking sites, presumably because they didn't think anyone would read the entire set of encyclopedias they could have filled, and simply publishing the words "Everything on all of them" felt too glib.
Researchers had 156 students fill out a survey called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) that forces subjects to choose between options like, "My body is nothing special" versus "I like to look at my body," and "I can learn from other people" versus "I can solve most global problems by spitting on them." Researchers then monitored the student's Facebook activity for what they called objective and subjective factors, and compared that with how they scored on the NPI. The scientists' goal was to see if they could isolate social networking behaviors that were more narcissistic, and to boil down complex human emotions into numbers, because that's like oxygen to them.

An 8.7 on the It-normalized Birthday Trauma scale according to Science.
The scientists also got strangers to rate these profiles online, and an above-average 100 of the students were female so the scientists clearly know how to get strangers to look at things online. The nine scales used included Attractiveness, Sexiness, Provocativeness and Fun. There's a chance these "scientists" were Internet-porn's R&D division.

Quantum communications will revolutionize streaming of our GILF threesomes!
For users of social networking, the results were not encouraging. Narcissism ratings were higher in every single category, including how narcissistic people assume you are just for having an account. Posting large amounts of information on your profile page was both perceived as narcissistic by others, and more common among narcissists. According to the study, a typical interaction on a social networking site is like a whirlwind of self-obsessed assholery: You think you're just filling out a profile, but others (correctly) assume you're an asshole for expecting strangers to care about your forty favorite movies despite doing the exact same thing themselves. So everyone is thinking, Look at this douchebag talking about things that aren't me.
Meanwhile, people viewing your profile encourage your narcissism. For instance, another big indicator was "provocative pictures," aka "You're not fooling anyone by casually posting pictures like that." Strangers realize you desperately want people to stare at you (while staring at you).

Omigawd, nearly forgot to set the webcam before "accidentally" leaning forward too far!
The only negative correlation was "entertaining quotes," implying that people who post funny material online are the opposite of narcissistic. Which might mean "hate themselves." Short form: If you don't think you're inherently worth looking at, you try to be funny instead. You now understand stand-up comedy.
Thousands of Friends Means None
"The relationship between number of friends and interpersonal impressions on Facebook"
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication 13 (2008) 531-549
If someone tells you they have 4,000 friends, chances are they're including you as one of them despite having just made sure it's not the case. When you hit four digits, you have a worse definition of friends than Boo Radley, and he still spent time interacting with his friends. Michigan State University researchers studied the relationship between number of friends and actual popularity, and found that the fourth digit of friends means you're likely getting the two longest digits on the hand from a good portion of them. We not only know you don't have three thousand friends, which is stupid, but we automatically know you don't even have three or you wouldn't have time to sit clicking "Add Friend" every night.
Getty Creative
God, I wish my son would go out and take drugs. Maybe get some girls pregnant.
One-hundred and fifty-three students filled out surveys and rated fake Facebook profiles on social and physical attractiveness. These fake profiles were identical except for the number of friends listed. The scientists noticed a hill-shaped relationship between friends and attractiveness: Having more friends means you're more attractive, up to what they mysteriously failed to call the "Bullshit Threshold." At a certain point (around a thousand friends) you start looking as bad as people with only few, and even more desperate.
This is what it looks like when a scientist calls you NEEEERRRRRRD!
The scientists also analyzed the participating students. One claimed to have over 2,700 friends, and the scientists added a footnote with all the statistics re-calculated without that person. Even in a study about how many friends imaginary accounts could pretend to have, the researchers looked at this asshole and said, "They're so stupid it's throwing off our math."

They also confirmed Tila Tequila as the most unpopular person on the planet.
They're Reinstalling Sexism
"The Role of Friends' Appearance and Behavior on Evaluations of Individuals on Facebook: Are We Known by the Company We Keep?"
Human Communication Research 34 (2008) 28-49
Obviously, negative gender stereotypes exist on the Internet, because it's 90 percent porn. But at least they're getting paid for it. Every other woman gets it for free. Judging others by a picture is apparently a recipe for turning people into assholes -- interacting with a monitor and keyboard means people feel less empathy. They also don't bother pretending to be nice, which is a pity, because "pretending to be nice" is pretty much what made the nonwarring part of human history possible.
Reversing the polarity of "civil."
A group of 389 students got course credit for letting older men and women watch them use the Internet, so that's good future career training (they were all taking "communications degrees" so it's nice to have options other than communicating a request for fries with that). Just like all innocent scientific experiments involving groups of teenagers, the results were horrifying: enough sexism to make Sterling Cooper look like the Mother Goddess Freegan Collective.
If you sit on me we use less sofa material, saving the environment.
The researchers set up fake Facebook profiles for student girls who got trashed and slept with nasty slobs (it's nice to see science is only a few years behind porn technology) and their research paper explained, "Typographical errors in these messages were intentional and reflect common writing characteristics in Facebook postings." Well done, Internet, you now write so poorly, literate people have to explain it to each other. They then set up the exact same profiles with pictures of guys. The result?
"Negatively valenced messages about certain moral behaviors increased male profile owners' perceived physical attractiveness, although they caused females to be viewed as less attractive."
Translation: guys are studs, girls are sluts, what else is new? But the scientists were worried that Facebook is resurrecting more ancient sexism than a group of cheerleaders having a sleepover in Castle Dracula. With more people interacting online every day, externality of gonads is once again becoming a disproportionately advantageous factor. Especially considering how it's a weak point in any style of combat.

July 27, 2015Secretary of Education Arne Duncan laid out his vision for America's higher education system of the future. Duncan noted that while more students are graduating college than ever before at our nation's world-class colleges and universities, for far too many students, the nation's higher education system isn't delivering what they need and deserve.
June 29, 2015
Speaking from the perspective of a father of two young children, Secretary Arne Duncan described a set of educational rights that should belong to every family in America at the National PTA Convention in Charlotte, NC. These foundational family rights can unite everyone who works to ensure that students are prepared to thrive in school and in life. The set of rights follows the educational journey of a student—from access to quality preschool; to engagement in safe, well-resourced...

Great purchase By Jonathan on 7/9/2016Jonathan would recommend this product to a friendI bought this chiller because I have my water change station in my garage, and here in South Carolina my 75 gallon mixing tank stays at 88-90 degrees all summer. The chiller drops the temperature to 78 overnight. Couldn't be happier.
Easy set up and quite By Joe on 6/19/2016Joe would recommend this product to a friendThe 1/10 chiller works as advertised. It chills my tank down to 77 in no time and is definitely quiet.
Great chiller By Doug on 5/12/2016Doug would recommend this product to a friendI'm using this product on a nano tank, with the expectation of moving to a 90 gal in the near future. This product lives up to its claims. It is very quiet and efficient. I would recommend this product to anyone in need of a high quality chiller.
Cool By Russ K. on 7/2/2015Russ K. would recommend this product to a friendI have the 1/10 HP model on a 55 gallon tank. Works very well. Quiet.
You can calibrate the temperature sensor to match your other probes. It's been a bit finicky for me. When the chiller thinks it's dropped a degree, it has actually dropped 1.4*. So I went from having a tank that gradually crept up in temperature throughout the day by about 3* to one that swings up and down 1.4* throughout the day. I may put the setpoint higher to see if it's more stable.
Good chiller By Oneilwiz on 6/2/2015Oneilwiz would recommend this product to a friendI have Been dodging the chiller for hears but I can't this summer. I am happy with the chiller just one complain which is the front panel buttons could have designed better. I would recommend it especially for NYC hot weather in the summer
Good product By Dbrown on 5/6/2015Dbrown would recommend this product to a friendI install this on my 75 gallon tank ( 3 weeks ago), keep temp between 77.5 to 78.9 with a set point of 78. Happy with this product so so good.
Awsome By Captainv on 11/26/2013Captainv would recommend this product to a friendHad been putting this off for so long, and with the heater running now in the winter tank been pushing the limits on the temp. Ordered this unit and working along with my Apex its keeps my tanks temp at a very steady temp. Work awesome and is so quite I hear a click when it starts up if I'm in the room other then that never even know its there except my tank temp is spot on. 75 Gal tank its working awesome. Sooooo Recommend.
Great Chiller By JC on 5/12/2013JC would recommend this product to a friendI've been using this chiller for over 3 years now and the only maintenance that is done on it has been cleaning the hairs from my dog on it and some vinegar flushes. I am from PR, 90' degrees average and it runs almost all day without a problem.
Great chiller By Robert on 5/21/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendI just got this chiller on 5/17/12 my tank was getting over 83 deg. out here in the arizona heat where its already 105 deg. in a matter of 24 hrs. the chiller had my tank down to 77.5 deg. must say very happy with how well this thing works and how super easy it was to install and setup. also very good on how quite it is....... all and all everyone should use this chiller
Quiet, simple to set up, low power consumption By Koqui on 2/2/2012Koqui would recommend this product to a friendUsed over this hot summer in NYC and it made a world of a difference on my coral and fish. Runs very quiet and you will only notice the unit running when the compressor turns on. Don't forget to purchase a pump to go along with the chiller. Using it on a 29 gallon nano.
Super Quiet By Jaime on 12/14/2011Jaime would recommend this product to a friendI originally bought this chiller for a 28g Nano cube (over kill I know). But my intentions were to keep using this when I moved up to a larger tank. This thing is really quiet which was the main selling point because at the time I had my nano cube right next to my bed. I couldn't even tell when it turned on. The fans in the tank's hood were way louder then the chiller. Since then I now have an 80g tank with a 40g sump and this chiller keeps it at a stable temperature no problem, without constantly being on might I add. Overall it is a great quiet chiller that you can tuck away off to the side without it being an eyesore.
Silent By Big Fish on 8/29/2010Big Fish would recommend this product to a friendI bought this because I have a tank in my bedroom and my wife would never stop complaining how loud our chiller was. A guy I met at my LFS told me this was the one I wanted. All I can say is every other chiller manufacture should be ashamed, you seriously can not even hear this thing is on. Unfortunately because the tank is quieter the gurgling coming from the tank seems louder and she is complaining about that now ...

EVANSTON, Ill. - Matt McGloin has come to the interview area all year without a smile.
That changed Saturday night.
McGloin made his first start of the season and, perhaps not coincidentally, Penn State's offense put together its best performance by far in outscoring Northwestern, 34-24, at Ryan Field.
Article Video
Asked if he's thrived on the adversity that has surrounded the quarterback derby with Rob Bolden, McGloin could only offer a playful, "I love it, yeah," that dripped of sarcasm.
He followed it up with an ear-to-ear grin that was a welcome departure from his usual stern approach, in part because he has been frustrated waiting for an opportunity that finally came.
"It's just laughable because everybody makes such a big deal out of it," McGloin said.
McGloin said he was told prior to last week's game with Purdue that he'd start against Northwestern. Maybe the coaching staff knew it was going to need all the offense it could muster against the explosive Wildcats. Maybe it got tired of waiting for Rob Bolden to develop. Or maybe it was just finally time for a decision.
"We figured we had to score some points," Joe Paterno said.
McGloin completed 17-of-26 for 192 yards and two touchdowns. He was not intercepted. As significantly, Bolden was not summoned as the Lions struggled to maintain control of the game until their defense finally slammed the door with a second-half shutout.
"We talked about alternating," JoePa said, "but there was no spot to get him [Bolden] in."
It didn't take long for the postgame press conference to turn into a flurry of questions about the quarterback, and it didn't take long for JoePa's voice to go up a couple of octaves in protest over having to make a declaration of a new starter.
"We won the game," he said, attempting to nip the subject.
Is McGloin the team's new No. 1 quarterback going forward?
"No," he said. "There will be days when Bolden will play."
Quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said he felt McGloin played extremely well in the first half (14-of-19 for 160 and both touchdowns), but the offense bogged down a bit in the third quarter. JayPa debated inserting Bolden, but his father decided against it.
After a career-high six catches for 110 yards and a 45-yard touchdown, Devon Smith, for one, supported settling on one quarterback.
"It helps a lot ... it [one quarterback] didn't change the game," he said. "With two quarterbacks, sometimes the game gets slowed down, and it's not right. But that's for the coaches to decide. Whoever the quarterback is, we've just got to go out and make plays."
The offense made them most of the night. Behind an improving line that allowed only one sack and repeatedly opened up gaping holes for Silas Redd, the Lions unleashed an impressive ground game, averaged 5.0 yards per rush, and McGloin spread the ball around to eight different receivers.
They were even efficient in the red zone, scoring on their first five trips, including three touchdowns, and showed smart clock management before halftime.
"We did a good job finishing drives," receiver Justin Brown said. "We knew we had the potential to do this, and we went out and proved it."
After leaning heavily on their defense through the first half of the season, the Lions' offense finally showed it's capable of doing its part.
"It's about time we started to help our defense out," McGloin said.
At 7-1 with the meat of the schedule still on the horizon, and Penn State standing in first place in the Big Ten's Leaders Division, the decision to start and stick with McGloin was well-timed.
And because of it, the Nittany Lions no longer look like a one-dimensional team.

on March 10, 2013 - 11:29 PM
A proposed concrete skate park in memory of an Amherst teenager who was fatally struck riding her longboard in 2011 got a boost on Sunday, with hundreds of people turning out for a fundraiser.
Organizers of the Alix Rice Peace Park Foundation said they're about a quarter of the way to a goal of $200,000 to make the skate park a reality.
The foundation, which is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, was working with Amherst officials on a plan to bring a 10,000-square-foot skate park to the town, although no land has been secured yet, said Jon Fulcher, foundation president.
The foundation was prepared to pay for the costs of construction and insurance on the skate park and will soon seek grant funding and reach out to corporate donors for help, said Fulcher.
The foundation wants to make sure kids will be able to use the skate park for free, he added.
Sunday's fundraiser inside the Main-Transit Fire Station on Main Street in Amherst attracted an overflow crowd of supporters who paid $20 per person for pizza, music by Cherisse & Tim and Hotel Bravo and a crack at dozens of silent auction gifts, including signed Buffalo Sabres jerseys and other sports memorabilia.
Some of the contributors knew Rice. Many had never met the vivacious teenager, who was hit and killed while riding her longboard on Heim Road.
The car was driven by James G. Corasanti, a Getzville doctor who left the scene of the crash.
Corasanti, convicted in 2012 of misdemeanor drunken driving but acquitted of all felony charges after his lawyers successfully argued that the doctor didn't know he had hit a person, was sentenced to a year in prison and continues to be maligned for his actions following the crash and his testimony during a highly public trial.
"It's unfortunate. He should've owned up to it," said Rachel Baudanza, who attended Williamsville North High School with Rice.
Mark Mullen, the father of three children, said Corasanti's actions were unforgiveable.
"My opinion is probably like that of a lot of others – it was unfair and an injustice," said Mullen, who works with Rice's mother, Tammy Schueler.
"When you take somebody's life, regardless of whether it's by accident or on purpose, you should take responsibility for it," Mullen added. "It's unfortunate that he didn't, but you can't really dwell on it either."
Nothing could make up for the loss of Rice, but Mullen said he hoped the skate park in her memory could at least "make a difference" in the lives of other young people.
Mullen, celebrating his 30th birthday on Sunday, brought his two sisters, his girlfriend and his 3-year-old daughter to the fundraiser.
"It's nice that the community can come together after something so horrible," he said.
The idea of an Alix Rice skate park seemed fitting to Jade Baird, who recalled Rice riding her longboard in the hallways of Williamsville North.
"She was very creative. She had a different style, which I appreciated," said Baird, a 2010 graduate of the school. "As sad a situation as it is, it's brought together so many people for what I think is a great cause."
The park is needed in a community full of skateboarders, added Baudanza.
"It gives kids who are skateboarders a safe place to go, rather than a parking lot," she said.

In a 69-66 loss to the Fight Irish, Rutgers rallied from a 13-point deficit to have the ball with a chance to win on the final possession.
The Scarlet Knights used a full-court press to its advantage during a second-half run, highlighted by a perfectly executed trap in the final minute. Following a fast-break layup for Elijah Carter, defenders Dane Miller and Jerome Seagears forced a tie up and won possession for Rutgers with 5.7 seconds left on the clock.
That, however, was as close as Rutgers would get. On a play designed for Carter to isolate the basket, he was called for a charge and the turnover ended the comeback hopes for Rutgers.
"[Carter's drive was] exactly what I wanted," said Rutgers coach Mike Rice. "That's how you win games in the Big East. You put your best player in a little advantage. I loved how we played it and executed it. I disagree (with the call) but those things happen."
The loss drops the Scarlet Knights to 3-3 in Big East play.
"When you catch so close to the baseline, you almost deserve for something bad to happen," said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey on the turnover that led to Carter's charge. "We panicked a little bit and caught close to the baseline. We're fortunate we defended and go t onto the next play and didn't hang our head."
Rutgers trailed the Irish 50-37 midway through the second half before Carter and forward Kadeem Jack heated up to lead a 12-2 run.
Carter returned to form with a team-high 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting and senior Austin Johnson continues to impress in the paint as a bench player. Loggins six points and six rebounds, Johnson was a key player in limiting Notre Dame to four offensive rebounds.
Irish star forward Jack Cooley, however, proved too much for an inexperienced Rutgers post. His double-double helped the Irish control the pace of the game and hang on to its second-half lead by the skin of their teeth.
"We're different," Rice said. "We don't have that young man in the paint so we have to play a little different. I thought our zone was very effective getting out to shooters. It took away their ball screen offense. Tom Knight hits back-to-back high post turnaround jump shots. They didn't blink either. They found ways when we were on a roll to continue to score some points and every little play counts in the Big East."

All agencies should be held accountable
February 15, 2013
All West Virginia state agencies should be required to follow a new purchasing directive all the time. If ensuring that happens requires an act of the Legislature, lawmakers should approve one....
Together, the RESAs have about 465 full-time employees this school year, according to Department of Education figures. One in four is a teacher; nearly as many are administrations. The agencies also have more than 100 support staffers, mostly teachers' aides and secretaries, and more than 80 listed as computer or electronic technicians. .........this says it all in my opinion. Are these 80 "computer techs" the ones responsible for the multi million dollar router mistake? 100 support staffers? Like secretaries? Don't our schools have those already? Yes, they do. One in four is a teacher, nearly as many are administrators. So for every teacher from resa, there is an administrator. That sounds efficient. We already have too many admins at every level of public education. Write Tomblin, tell hime is wrong, tell him you're tired of waste, tell him resa should be dismantled. Not built up.

These are quotes from The San Francisco Chronicle, a paper on the other side of the country publishing a story about West Virginia, that you will not find in our local newspapers.
The Legislature created the Regional Education Service Agencies, or RESAs, in 1972. The eight offices were assigned to help the counties in their districts apply for grants and pool their purchasing power. Their duties also have included training staff and keeping computers running. .........this is complete bull. Resa has a history of corruption, waste and fraud. They are an unneeded organization that pretend to do a job that already exists, and is currently filled by someone. Paying two people to do the same job, and still failing at it is bureaucracy at its finest. Resa is a complete waste of taxpayers money. They also engage in fraudulent activity with the dhhr, another corrupt organization found to be wasting taxpayer money. .......more to follow.

The journal is turning off the comment switch on more and more stories. That's too bad, especially when stories concern our so-called public servants. Personally, I wouldn't give a plug nickle for the views or skewed views of any of The Jornal's reporters or those of the writers of the AP sories the paper carries.

Males are to blame for violence. Want proof? Just look at Newtown. So says the CAV in a story about their latest grant awards. The article doesn't permit comments. Gee, I wonder why. Anyway, I find it incredibly interesting that blaming males is the CAV's take. And I suppose that's true. Males commit most violent crime. But most males don't use violence illicitly. Thus, targeting ALL males, especially young ones, for the CAV's training program is nonsensical. Are we to teach our military and police that violence solves nothing? I'm all for it if our enemies and street thugs disarm first. This is a silly, feel-good program without a snowball's chance of success. One other thing. Males only outnumber females for violence if abortion is not a factor. But that's not violent--unless you're the baby.

"Instead of punishing those responsible, they make new rules which punish everyone, including the taxpayers." Yes How about hiring the best and then holding them accountable? Cheaper in the long run.

The router purchase was a total debacle, I have no doubt about it. I just wonder how much more time and money will be spent to review every purchase that now falls into this category. Instead of punishing those responsible, they make new rules which punish everyone, including the taxpayers. I'm a federal employee, and I can say that in some instances, the FAR has cost taxpayers tons of money in reviews and red tape. Case in point, a vendor offers specialized services regarding their product, but the FAR requires a third party actually sell those services to the government, that third party marks up the services 25%, to connect the vendor with the agency, even though the connection already existed. I'm not saying that the FAR is terrible, it probably has saved far more than it has cost, but perhaps it's time for some tweaks? Why can't we take bids directly from the vendors?

Grant County Patriot you are right on target. I can't believe they have set the review and approval threshold at $250K. That's absurd. It should be set at $3K. The FAR and it's regs would serve the state well. But then how would the good ole boys ever be able to pay homage to their business friends and PAC's. This is just more BS from the great state of Kanawha.

Who was the CTO or CIO managing this acquisition? I recall Tomblin appointing a female to that position from the private sector some time ago. You design a network first by I deifying user and facility requirements. Not from the edge to the user. Routers are life cycle hardware. Cisco routinely publishes a list of hardware to include routers that is end of life, end of sale and end of support. So for Sen. Manchin to say it was a long term investment is ridiculous. You must be prepared to pay annual maintenance on the routers and have a life cycle refer plan in place. Where was all that planning? Somebody should be held accountable from the CTO/CIO, Procurement or Acquisition office and the Governor as well. Can you say Manchin?

Maybe the state should consider adopting the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR's) They are one of a few processes the fed ever developed, that when followed, provide organization to the procurement process. An investigation might also determine that many involved in the state contracting process are not well trained or qualified.

Whalen Gymnasium, halved by a partition, a wall adorned with blue banners cautioning �We can�t afford another four years� and �We need a real recovery,� pulsated with energized Republican supporters Monday afternoon.
Talk of debt, deficits and taxes held sway. Those in attendance were unified in their conviction that President Barack Obama has mismanaged the economy since taking office.
CJ Alderton, 53, thought the United States would benefit from more �business friendly� leadership, and was especially fond of Paul Ryan�s reputation as a policy wonk.
�(Ryan) carries 40 pounds of notes around all the time. He�s continually studying the budget and is the first person to confront the issue of entitlements. I appreciate someone courageous enough to tell the truth. For me, it�s about math. Adding $1 trillion of debt a year is the wrong direction,� Alderton said.
However, he was �ambivalent� about Colorado coming under the swing-state microscope and disliked how politics can engender division between neighbors.
�I�m ready for the acrimony to be over,� he said. �At the end of the day, we�re one country and need to coalesce around one vision.�
Deb Andersen was another who respected Mitt Romney�s private-sector acumen.
�Who better to run our government than a businessman?� she asked rhetorically.
Many attendees criticized the Obama administration for profligate spending � a real-time national debt clock towered ominously over the crowd, tracking each new dollar of debt � and its response to the September attack against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
�I�m livid. I speak for a lot of people. It�s a scandal. They�re covering up the truth,� said Robin McGhehey, 43. �(The attack) was a heinous thing. We haven�t lost an ambassador since 1979. As Americans, we take care of our own.�
The euphoria was palpable, but a few dissenters were not impressed.
About two dozen sign-wielding Democratic sympathizers stood outside ready to �welcome� the delegation, local Obama fan Dick Dahl said.
Dahl had broken off from the main group after the rally and stood isolated among a sea of Romney-Ryan supporters exiting the gym.
�I was a Republican for 25 years. I voted for Nixon and Reagan twice. Not since,� he said.
Dahl acknowledged America�s rising debt under Obama, but maintained government spending was appropriate with the economy �in the tank.�
Meanwhile, Tom Williamson was �confused� by what he had seen inside. He described the crowd as a �strange amalgamation of monied people and social conservatives concerned about God, gays and guns.�
�I don�t understand. Some people in this audience don�t have health insurance. They will vote for the guy who wants to give out vouchers instead of preserving Medicare and expanding coverage,� Williamson said.

|Large Magnetization at Carbon Surfaces
From organic matter to pencil lead, carbon is a versatile element. Now, another use has been found: magnets. One would not expect pure carbon to be magnetic, but for more than ten years scientists have suspected that carbon can be made to be magnetic by doping it with nonmagnetic materials, changing its order ever so slightly. Years ago, the first x-ray images obtained using the scanning transmission x-ray microscope at ALS Beamline 11.0.2 provided valuable insight into how proton irradiation can cause carbon to transform into a ferromagnetic material. Now, researchers are using x-ray spectroscopy at ALS Beamline 4.0.2 to study the magnetism of proton-irradiated graphite surfaces in order to understand the effects of hydrogen (i.e. protons) on the electronic structure of carbon. In studying the properties of electrons responsible for magnetic order in graphite, researchers found that a very large magnetic moment is essentially switched on when hydrogen atoms are incorporated at the surface of graphite.
Pure carbon comes in two configurations. In the diamond configuration, each carbon atom is surrounded by four others, forming a very stable and "very hard" three-dimensional lattice. Alternatively, if each carbon atom is surrounded by three others, an atomically thin, two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms called graphene forms. These sheets can be stacked on top of each other to produce a three-dimensional material called graphite.
Scientists agree that pure graphite cannot be ferromagnetic. Each carbon atom has six electrons, three of which exhibit a spin pointing up and the other three pointing down; consequently, the magnetic moment of a carbon atom is zero. It is a perfect "diamagnet," repelled by an external magnetic field. Over the past decade, however, research has indicated that proton irradiation (i.e. hydrogen doping) of carbon can lead to the formation of ferromagnetic order. Scientists hypothesized that hydrogen atoms were incorporated into the graphite lattice during hydrogen doping, distorting the lattice and allowing the spins to align with each other.
Recent magnetic x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments using an x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) technique at ALS Beamline 4.0.2 have corroborated this hypothesis. Researchers directly investigated the electron states in graphite that are responsible for magnetic order by doping graphite with protons. The experiments not only corroborated the existing hypothesis, they also revealed something unexpected.
Using different methods to detect x-ray absorption, researchers distinguished the magnetic properties of the surface from material's bulk magnetic properties, finding that the surface magnetization is much stronger than that of the bulk. The size of the magnetic moment at the surface can be very large—comparable to that of conventional magnetic metals like Fe, Ni, and Co—and the magnetism can exist even at room temperature. This makes carbon's magnetism an interesting natural effect with potential real-world applications if samples are thin enough.
Since carbon-based nanostructures can presently be produced very efficiently and reliably (nanotubes, graphene, bucky balls, and other fullerenes are all made of carbon), finding a way to manipulate nanosized carbon elements to become magnetic would open the door to a completely new class of magnetic devices for magnetic storage, sensors, and data processing. Fortunately, additional research has proven that etching carbon with sulfuric acid can also make the carbon magnetic, opening the door for those who wish to experiment but may lack access to a 2.25-MeV proton accelerator like the one used here, and providing a base for a magnetic carbon research community.

Ready to deck those halls, but don't know what decorating direction to take?
Local experts have some answers.
Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center interior decorating and finishing instructor Dodie Amigh shared some personal preference rather than professional.
Article Photos
Mirror photos by Patrick Waksmunski
Jeff Adler of Adler's Landscape?Nursery, Altoona, decorates a tree in the Christmas shop. Below are decorations featuring a natural look.
"I think one of the neat things is I personally love my Christmas decorations to mimic the design of my home," she said.
After decorating her home in browns and aquas about a year ago, she "immediately ran out and purchased all new Christmas decorations," she said.
But that doesn't mean out with the old, in with the new.

Sprucing up your house? Gray is new neutral
By Amanda Gabeletto
We don't need the holidays as an excuse to change up our home decor.
Just passing into a new season justifies a bit of sprucing up, and changing your color palette is an easy way to do just that.
Tired of boring old beige? You're in luck.
"The biggest thing I'm seeing in 2013 design trends is that gray is the new hot neutral," said Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center interior decorating and finishing instructor Dodie Amigh. "For the longest time we were doing the golds and it's definitely away from that now and gray is coming back."
An "accented neutral," meaning a neutral color, such as gray, off-white or beige, accented with one bold color, is the hot color scheme, she said.
"That nice fall palette where things are gentle and remind you of the outdoors, we're getting away from it. A real metropolitan kind of feeling is hitting new trends, very contemporary," she said.
Navy blue, "deep rich blue tones," are also popping up often in current design, while neon colors are hot for kids, she said.
"White painted furniture for some reason seems to be coming back. So don't be afraid to take something that is old, please don't take something that's antique, but if something's old and it's looking beat up, put a fresh coat of paint on it, put it up against a gray wall."
If you're looking to really go all out and actually paint your walls, you might want to consider adding a scent to your paint.
Seth Borlie, who works in commercial paint sales at Altoona's Lowe's store, said a 1-ounce container of the additive from Glade costing $4.98 a bottle is new for them, but is starting to catch on.
The additive comes in different scents, including clean linen and French vanilla, and mixes into a gallon of paint, he said.
"Some people don't like the actual smell of paint. So when you're actually putting it on the walls it will change the smell of the paint, but it will actually last for months so it's just like an air freshener," he said.
Customers have shown concern because adding the scent will void some paint warranties, he said.
The bottom line: while following a trend is fine, decorate with what makes you happy.
"My opinion as an interior designer is always decorate with what you love, not with what's trendy," Amigh said. "Because what's trending will change. As quick as it came in, it will go out. But if it's something that you truly love and when you walk into the room it gives you that, Ah, relaxed feeling, that's what you want to design with."
Mirror Staff Writer Amanda Gabeletto is at 949-7030.
"The only tip I want to give most people is do not throw your old decorations away because everything in design as well as fashion repeats itself," she said. "Put it in a box, put it in storage, because it will come back. And then you can mix and match later."
Adler's Landscape Nursery Inc. owner Jeff Adler advises using ornaments to decorate and suggests not gluing them in place.
He also suggests not cutting artificial tree branches but instead tucking them together so if you're ready for a change the following year you can reconfigure them.
Over the past few years, burlap, a plain woven fabric made of fibers such as jute, has made it's way back into people's homes, but it's not the country darling of the 1980s, but rather a more sophisticated look, Adler said.
The burlap trend has now come for the holidays with wreaths made of the natural-looking fabric, which "are probably going to be the hottest thing this Christmas as far as something new," Adler said. "Poly Mesh was all the rage last year and this year the burlap's taking over. Anything burlap is hot and you can work it into almost any home because it's a bit more sophisticated than how it was used years ago."
The frosted or icy look is enhancing decorating items such as pine picks.
"Anything with frost on it seems to be becoming a trend. It may be the frost and the ice looks so good that everyone seems to want it again because it looks great [rather than] something artificial and junky," Adler said.
The hot colors this season are platinum and mercury blue, which works well with the burlap, Adler said.
Rusty found objects or even scrap metal are also on trend, along with jute twine to compliment the burlap and jingle bells in red, platinum or ones that are rusted, Adler said.
Adler is offering several how-to classes in November and December.
The hands-on "Make & Take Wreath" classes for wreaths made of burlap are at 10 a.m. Nov. 16 and 3 p.m. Nov. 30; for mesh wreaths classes are 6:30 p.m. Nov. 25 and Dec. 12. Classes take place at Kings Family Restaurant, Sixth Avenue. Registration is $35 and includes $25 worth of materials.
The workshops taking place at Adler's, 3110 Sixth Avenue, are: "Creating Impressive Mantels," Nov. 13; "Designing Splendid Tabletops Using the Latest Trends," Nov. 19; "Decorating Spectacular Trees," Nov. 21; "Making a Wreath Using Fresh Greens," Dec. 4 and 6; "Making a Kissing Ball Using Fresh Greens," Dec. 11 and 13. A Happy Hour with refreshments begins at 6 p.m. and class starts at 6:30 p.m. The cost is also $35. The tree, tabletop and mantel classes include a $20 gift card. The wreath and kissing ball classes include materials for a take-home creation. To register, call Adler's at 944-9334.
Sherry Burket of Hollidaysburg, who makes live pine wreaths at Christmas time, is another source for holiday decor. She also makes burlap wreaths, ribbon trees and garland.
While she gets supplies from crafting stores, she also collects pinecones on walks with her husband, Richard, who cuts out wooden items such as stockings for the decorations too, she said.
Depending on the supplies used to make a wreath, she sells them on average for about $25 to $30.
For more information, call Burket at 695-1595.

CHICAGO -- The three young men could not have represented themselves or their school any better, and they reminded everyone who was on hand here Thursday of one important thing.
Penn State University is not the scandal. It's not Jerry Sandusky. It's not Joe Paterno's legacy, or what's left of it.
Penn State University is Michael Mauti and Jordan Hill and John Urschel -- not to mention thousands of others just like them. It's a place where young people such as those three are molded into leaders before they go on and enjoy success in the world as adults.
It's easy for people around the country to blast Penn State after everything that's taken place since November. But anyone making blanket statements about the school being an awful place or standing for all the wrong things should spend a few minutes watching some of the Internet video of Mauti, Hill and Urschel during Thursday's Big Ten media days.
They answered the same questions over and over again about the scandal, its impact on the program and their thoughts about the future of Penn State football. And they handled the difficult situation exquisitely, giving insightful, respectful answers to each and every question.
New coach Bill O'Brien has done and said all the right things since taking over the program in January, and he made one of his best decisions early Thursday morning.
Penn State announced Wednesday that no players would be making the trip to Chicago for the conference media days, in an attempt to give them a break from all the attention. But after a workout at 8 a.m. Thursday, O'Brien asked linebacker Mauti, defensive tackle Hill and guard Urschel to do the honors of representing the school, so they rushed home to get their suits and were on a flight to Chicago a little more than an hour later.
Having the three players there put a face, or faces, on Penn State, other than just O'Brien's. And to know that they and their teammates are paying the price for an awful situation that was in no way their fault, one cannot help but feel compassion for their situation.
Listening to Mauti passionately discuss the NCAA's transfer rules and trying to keep his teammates together through this incredible adversity, it should remind everyone that Penn State isn't just a place, it's actual people.
Listening to Urschel, a brilliant guy with a 4.0 GPA in mathematics, talk about how he never once thought about transferring, it should remind everyone that Penn State isn't just any school, it's a world-class educational institution.
Listening to Hill talk about the agony that his teammate and good friend Silas Redd is going through trying to decide if he's going to transfer to USC, it should remind everyone that Penn State isn't just football, it's student-athletes who have personal lives and relationships and friends both on and off the field.
Mauti, Hill and Urschel are three very good football players.
More importantly, they are three good, intelligent human beings, and there are many, many more like them on the football team and throughout the university, both students and faculty.
They are ... Penn State.
And they are examples of why -- regardless of the football team's play on the field -- there are plenty of reasons for people to still be proud of the school.

On Tuesday, August 31 at 10:00 PM ET/PT, and on dates throughout September, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel will include an exclusive interview with former NFL lineman Alonzo Spellman, about his struggle with bipolar disorder.
Spellman recently completed 18 months in federal prison after a terrifying incident on a 2002 airline flight: -the latest in a string of bizarre episodes dating back to 1998, when he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (manic depression), after threatening to commit suicide during a standoff with Chicago police.
NAMI National Board member Xavier Amador helped to evaluate Spellman's illness for the federal court. With treatment, Spellman has gained greater insight into the disorder and come a long way toward recovery.
A former Ohio State All-American and first-round draftee of the Bears in 1992, Spellman showed great promise in his early years in Chicago, producing sacks on the field and earning praise in the community for his charity work with inner-city kids.
Spellman talks candidly with host Bryant Gumbel about his downward spiral. Other interviews include: Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison of Johns Hopkins University; former Chicago Bears captain Mike Singletary; and Delta pilot, Capt. Robert Freund. In 2003, Gumbel also helped to break the stigma barrier about mental illness in pro sports through his interview on former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw's struggle with depression.
Other HBO play dates for the Real Sports episode with the Spellman segment include: Sept. 2 (12:00 Noon, 8:00 p.m.), Sept. 6 (11:00 a.m., 11:50 p.m.), Sept. 8 (9:00 a.m., 7:00 p.m.), Sept. 11 (10:00 a.m.) and Sept. 13 (5:00 p.m.). All times are ET/PT. Check local cable listings.

Sharon Fruit 'Fuyu'
Diospyros kaki, Persimmon
Now you can grow your own delicious crops of Sharon fruit or Chinese Persimmon fruit. Originating from China, but increasingly available in the supermarkets, the rounded, orange-yellow fruits have a non-astringent, sweet flavour when fully ripe, and make a lovely addition to fresh fruit salads.
The spreading branches of Sharon Fruit 'Fuyu' produce glossy, dark green leaves that turn to colourful shades of orange, gold and purple in autumn. The small, bell shaped, summer flowers give way to edible fruits that continue to ripen on the tree well into December, long after the leaves have fallen. This unusual, self fertile fruit tree makes an attractive addition to a sheltered border or trained against a sunny wall. Diospyros kaki is perfectly hardy in the UK but may appreciate some winter protection in particularly cold areas. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (6').
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 3 years.
