Guest Voice of Brian McGrath: Why Millcreek should reopen golf course
Recently, Millcreek Township supervisors discussed the reopening of the Millcreek Golf and Learning Center. The facility was closed in 2011 due to Erie International Airport's runway extension project.
The Millcreek Golf and Learning Center, 3100 W. 17th St., was built on about 85 acres of land, formerly known by several unappealing names, such as the Harper Dump, the Millcreek Dump and the Millcreek Superfund Site for hazardous waste. Through negotiations that began in the mid-1990s -- among several state and federal agencies, Millcreek supervisors and the parties responsible for the site's cleanup -- an agreement was reached to reuse the property.
The initial plan called for removing hazardous materials, placement of a soil cap, building a groundwater treatment plant, fencing the perimeter and prohibiting use by the public. That plan was met with fears that the land would eventually again fall victim to illegal dumping.
Alternative uses were proposed, such as ball fields, hiking and biking trails, and a golf course. The regulatory agencies and those responsible for the cleanup expressed concerns over some uses, possible damage to the cap and future maintenance of the site. The golf course option, with its daily maintenance, afforded the protections that regulators sought and minimized the risks of potential exposure to the contaminated site materials that were capped.
Extensive negotiations followed. The parties responsible for paying for the site's cleanup also agreed to pay for the construction of the golf course. The township agreed to assume ownership of the site and, unless impracticable, maintain it as a public golf course. A renowned golf course architect, Ferdinand Garbin, was hired to design the course. Construction began in 2000 and the course opened in early 2002.
Neighbors, who had for decades lived next to a disgusting dump, fearing its contents and unable to sell their homes, now owned "golf-course property." They no longer wanted to move.
For those unfamiliar with the site, it consists of a nine-hole golf course, a driving range, practice greens for putting and chipping, a clubhouse, a maintenance building and a building that houses the pumps for the course's irrigation system. The clubhouse includes a pro shop, restrooms, kitchen, patio and a snack bar that doubles as a classroom. Funding for the construction of the clubhouse was provided through a grant from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The township, not being experienced in golf course operations, contracted with a private firm to manage the course. The firm paid costs for day-to-day operations. During its 10 years of operation, the facility became very popular, particularly with junior and senior golfers. Numerous golf leagues played there.
The location made it easy for kids to spend the day learning and playing golf. It was Millcreek's version of J.C. Martin Golf Course. Junior tournaments provided a great way to learn sportsmanship and be introduced to competition. Local grade school and high school teams played their matches there. The Millcreek Parks and Recreation Department offered lessons and free clinics. Children from the Erie Housing Authority learned the game there.
Like the township's tennis courts, pools, picnic shelters, ball fields and trails, the golf course became an integral part of Millcreek's park system. Unlike those other facilities, however, the Millcreek Golf and Learning Center began to generate a positive cash flow. Certainly some funding was needed for initial improvements and maintenance, but the bottom line was that it was in the black.
For whatever reason, there are critics of Millcreek's operation of its two golf courses (the township also owns Erie Golf Course). Municipal golf courses, however, are not unique to Millcreek. Nearly 3,000 are in operation in the U.S., including two owned by the city of Erie and one by the city of Corry. As with municipal pools, tennis courts and other recreational facilities, municipal golf courses provide residents with an alternative to what would typically be a more expensive privately owned facility.
Due to the airport project, two holes and the irrigation system must be reconfigured to reopen the Millcreek Golf and Learning Center. That work obviously comes at a cost. Selling the course, as some suggest, is not an option because of the site's environmental restrictions. Using it as something other than a golf course may run afoul of the township's agreement with the parties that conducted the cleanup and would be a shameful waste of a tremendous asset. Unless the alternate use generated revenue, it would become a drain on the township's budget.
In an effort to reopen the course, I am soliciting grant funding and private funding to pay for the project. I am confident that the community recognizes the value of the Millcreek Golf and Learning Center and is willing to help again provide our residents, particularly children, with a wonderful recreational and educational facility.
BRIAN McGRATH is a Millcreek Township supervisor.

Xoma said today it transferred U.S. development and commercialization rights for its perindopril franchise to Symplmed Pharmaceuticals, in return for an equity stake in Symplmed of undisclosed percentage, and up to double-digit royalties on sales of a drug containing perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate, subject to the fixed-dose combination (FDC) being approved by FDA.
The FDC is marketed in 91 countries outside the U.S. by Servier, under the name Coveram® Symplmed said it intends to complete a New Drug Application for the FDC and submit it to the FDA by year's end. At that point, Symplmed would pay all future FDC development costs, while Xoma would have no further financial obligations related to the FDC product or Symplmed operations.
Three former Xoma employees co-founded Symplmed: Erik Emerson, who is now its president and CEO; Jeffrey Feldstein, M.D., now its senior vp and CMO; and August J. Troendle, M.D., a director of the company and the founder and CEO of the contract research organization Medpace.
Emerson and Dr. Feldstein oversaw the 837-patient Phase III Perindopril Amlodipine for the Treatment of Hypertension (PATH) trial, which demonstrated that the FDC of perindopril arginine combined with amlodipine besylate showed statistically significant improvement in reducing both sitting diastolic and sitting systolic blood pressure after six weeks of treatment compared with either compound alone.
Also under its sublicense agreement with Xoma, Symplmed will immediately take over U.S. marketing responsibility for blood-pressure reducing treatment ACEON® (perindopril erbumine), while XOMA will continue to manage and be reimbursed for sales and distribution.

UNISDR Workshop Discusses Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific
21 January 2014: The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) convened a workshop to develop a post-2015 Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific (SRDP). The new strategy aims to bring together the fields of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaption to increase the resilience of Pacific countries.
The workshop, which took place on 20 January in Suva, Fiji, was one of a series of multi-stakeholder discussions to develop a single successor strategy to the current Pacific DRR and Disaster Management Framework for Action and Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change, both of which will expire in 2015. Experts from the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Women attended the workshop.
The new strategy underscores the need to: strengthen risk management by reducing existing risks and preventing new risks; enhance disaster preparedness, response and recovery; and promote low carbon development. The SRDP will provide guidance to governments and recommend actions for the private sector, civil society and development partners to increase resilience to slow and sudden onset hazards through improved capacity and preparedness.
Timothy Wilcox, UNISDR Pacific Office, explained that this single approach to addressing disaster risk and climate resilience is central to the region's sustainable development and also promotes efficient, effective utilization of capacity and funding.
Partners and stakeholders will be able to comment on the draft strategy online. UNISDR is expected to post further details on its website by 3 February.[UNISDR Press Release]

For those of you who were disappointed with certain aspects of the safety play, or simply think they Russell and Grant are just a little long in the tooth, the Seahawks met with at least one saftey at the combine. Jamie Silva of Boston College is the safety who caught the Hawks eye. NFL Draft Scout projects him as a 5th round pick. To find out more about him….
Positives: Has a thick upper-body frame with good chest and arm tone, tight waist and hips, thick thighs and calves and minimal body fat…Physical tackler with the frame to add at least another 10 pounds without any loss of quickness…Outstanding coverage man for the kickoff and punt units, playing with reckless abandon (see 2007 Georgia Tech, Army and Virginia Tech games)…Has the balance and body control to slip under blocks and apply backside pressure…Very alert of the action on the field, playing with impressive strength to quickly gain leverage…Competitive player, who makes quick decisions and excels at keeping the action in front of him, showing proper wrap-up tackle technique, as he does a good job of attacking the ballcarrier's outside leg to impede forward progress (see 2007 Wake Forest, Maryland and Virginia Tech/ACC Championship games)…Sets the tone of the game with his aggressive play and does not hesitate to close once he spots the ball, as he plays with good functional strength that allows him to explode behind his hits…Has the field awareness to adjust to the ball in flight and is efficient at handling the switch-off when working in the zone…Has a good feel for his assignment, showing the ability to anticipate to get a jump on the ball…Plays well within the defensive game plan and is not the type that will neglect his responsibilities…Has a strong desire to fill the rush lanes, extending his arms properly to engulf ballcarriers…Charges with good urgency to fill the rush lanes and is a good force-type safety with the athletic agility to make plays in the open field…Consistently goes for the ball, taking proper angles as he times his hits…Displays the vision to turn and locate the ball in a crowd and while he lacks blazing speed, he is quick to close, staying low in his pads…Secure tackler who displays his power as he consistently drives the opponent back…Exceptional worker in the training room, so much so, the coaches have to force him to leave…Plays with great emotion and desire, knowing he has the strength to deliver crunching tackles when asked to play near the line of scrimmage…Shows good route awareness and maintains contact on the receiver playing in the short area, demonstrating the natural hands and leaping ability to compete for the ball at its high point…Keeps his shoulders square and stays low, driving with his legs to rock the ball carrier back at the line of scrimmage…Runs with an effortless stride and is very decisive in his movements on plays in front of him…Plays with a total disregard for his own safety and is the type that plays through pain…Gets a good jump on the ball to stay with the receivers in the short-range area, using his hands well in attempts to impede the route's progression…Rare to see him take wasted steps in transition coming out of his backpedal and into his breaks…Loves to compete for the high passes, as he is good at elevating to catch the ball in his hands and away from his body…Always sticks his head into the pile and is very good at coming up and filling the rush lanes, looking like the Colts' Bob Sanders with his ability to use his hands to slip blocks and push the fullback back into the hole (uses his hands well to counter the bigger blocker's moves)…Highly intelligent player (note Wonderlic score of 29) and will have no problems digesting a complicated playbook…On special teams, he is a highly effective and fearless wedge-buster who breaks loose up the middle in a flash…Not used often, but has that low center of gravity and leg drive to surprise a lethargic blocker when asked to shoot the gaps and blitz…Has no trouble mirroring tight ends, backs and slot receivers, turning and trailing well while not allowing any separation underneath.
Negatives: Has shorter-than-ideal arm reach and small hands, but compensates with good leaping ability, timing and natural hands to reach and pluck the ball at its highest point…Earlier in his career, he looked a bit stiff in his hip turn when transitioning, but had better lateral range as a senior, as he refined his backpedal, staying lower in his pads to come out of his breaks with few wasted steps and no longer rounds his cuts…Lacks that sharp burst or second gear needed to recover when beaten deep, but uses his hands well to press and makes a conscious effort to turn and trail the receiver throughout the route…Has improved his backpedal technique, but he will round his breaks at times (gets caught in his feet at times trying to break in the open and needs to improve his hip swerve in order to get a more fluid motion when turning on the ball)…Takes very good angles to close on the ball, but when he over-pursues, he is not always capable of recovering and getting back into the play…Might be a better fit at strong safety, where he excels at playing downhill, as he might not have the desired range to handle the speedy receivers in their attempts to separate in the deep secondary.
Compares To: COREY CHAVOUS-ST. Louis…Few safeties in the professional ranks have the instinctive feel for the ball and knowledge of the action in front of him that Chavous displays. Silva plays with the same field vision, ball anticipation and determination. He is a physical tackler who excels in run support and does a nice job of impeding the ballcarrier's forward progress with his hard-hitting wrap-up tackling skills. He has small, yet natural hands to make the interception and is very good at gaining placement in attempts to reroute the receiver. What he lacks in hip fluidness and explosive second gear, he makes up for with solid tackling skills, taking proper angles and great anticipation skills. Toss in his total disregard for his own well-being, determination to make the play and an added bonus with his kamikaze-style of play on special teams and you have player who is certain to be a fan favorite.

We're extremely proud to offer a selection of men's and women's Justin cowboy boots that are made in the USA. Why? First, shopping domestic puts food on the table for local artisans – your father, your neighbor, your best friend's mother, the shop owner just down the street… real, hardworking Americans, just like you and me. Second, supporting companies that produce American made products helps keep the history of craftsmanship alive here in the U.S. Third, our customers appreciate the exceptional quality and proud heritage that goes hand-in-hand with made in the USA products. And finally, because we love western wear brands that provide valuable jobs in our communities!
Justin cowboy boots have been handcrafted in the United States since 1879, when H.J. Justin opened shop at his home in Spanish Fort, Texas. Justin's first customers were, unsurprisingly, cowboys who were passing by on their way up the Chisholm Trail. The whole family became involved in the Justin boot business, and the boot company became H.J. Justin and Sons. By 1910, Justin Boots were sold in 26 states – a pretty amazing feat considering the lack of transportation and communication technologies. Justin and Sons saw a need to include women in the business from an early start. In the early 1920s, the company launched the first pair of cowboy boots made exclusively for women: the Western Gypsy. For the Justin Gypsy cowgirl boot fans in the crowd, you're probably grateful for that decision!
Today, Justin Brands is one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the United States. Isn't that incredible?! Justin Brands operates four domestic factories: El Paso, TX; Brewer, ME; Cassville, MO; and Carthage, MO. Within these four factories, cowboy boots and cowgirl boots are crafted for Justin Boots, Tony Lama Boots, Nocona Boots, Chippewa Boots, and Justin Original Workboots. Justin Brands proudly boasts more than 440 years of combined boot-making experience across these outstanding western boot brands.
Justin Brands purchased the Brewer, Maine, factory in early 2013, and the company hasn't shut down efforts to expand farther. In a press release announcing the expansion, Randy Watson, Justin Brands, Inc. CEO and chairman, stated, "The success of our brands is a result of a rich history and our progressive approach to the future. As a Berkshire Hathaway corporation we are always open to acquisitions and opportunities. Planting new roots in a market distinctively rich in America's footwear heritage aligns with our ongoing commitment to domestic manufacturing." Clearly, USA made cowboy boots are a big focus at Justin Brands, and the company will likely continue to grow based on those strong core values.
Besides benefiting the local economy by employing people in our community, purchasing products made in the USA is a stamp of quality craftsmanship. Justin Brands employees are craftsmen with a dedication to producing superior artisan products. Not only are these employees extensively trained, they work in an environment where customer service is of the utmost importance. Justin Brands makes great investments in hiring skilled employees, implementing the latest technologies, and fostering a culture that encourages employees to go above and beyond in crafting durable, comfortable, and attractive cowboy boots.
Justin Brands is planning a big reveal in the very near future to open up their factory doors to you… sort of. The campaign is going to be an innovative move in revealing the boot-making process and the people who craft each pair of boots. As soon as that campaign launches, you can bet we'll share the news with you!
Tell us what you love and appreciate about USA made cowboy boots in a comment below!

11 Responses to Justin Boots – Made In The USA Cowboy Boots!
Howdy! I love American style cowboy boots.
Would love to make a few. It's for my girlfriend. Please send me some links.
I received my Justin boots today. There was a tag attached to one of the boots that read: there are chemicals used in the making of these boots that may cause cancer!!!! Wth. California is who made this caution. Now this has me frightened. I had cancer 6 years ago and now I don't know if I should even wear them, and they are quite lovely. Can you please enlighten me on this????
I have worn Justin boots since 1958 as a young trick roper today I perform in white inlaid Justin boots because they come wider (C width) than other makers and are comfortable. The factory in Ft. Worth made me a custom pair in the 80's and I have had great success with them and my crepe soled boots. I now have a pair of ostrich women's boots for dress. I do not believe in out sourcing any USA product we need to support our companies in the US. I only buy USA made products when I can. Thank you Justin for your dedication to workmanship, choice leathers, retaining some USA made boots. Joan Wells
Pair of Justin Work boots fell apart after only 7 months. Justin Boots refuses to honor warranty
Pair of Justin Work boots fell apart after only 7 months. Justin Boots refuses to honor warranty. Outer soul and inner soul separating.
I recently purchased two pair of Justin Boots one brown and one black. I have been wearing Justin Boots since 1965 and was disapointed to find out these two pair were made in China. I went to Cavenders Western Store in Huntsville Texas and discovered that most of the Justins were also made in China. I would like information where Justin made in America boots are sold.
been looking for 9 an 1 half 3 EEE America made Justin work boots water prof. in the past i got them custom made.
Hey Russell, there are some Justin Jmax boots that are great for working and hit all the notes of what you are looking for in a american made pair of waterproof safety boots, they also have a few lace-up options also but most are double E which I hear stretches good to your foot like a triple E after wearing a few times.
I recently bought a Pair of Made in USA Justin Cowboy boots for myself on Amazon. After weeks of trying on all kinds of boots, these were the first that fit like a glove and were comfortable right away. I used to live on Vickery Blvd in Fort Worth years ago right down the street from the outlet store, and I can tell you I love the brand, and the great quality of boots they make
Why did I just receive a pair of Justin ladies boots that say Made In China? Disappointed to see that.

If I wait for just a second more
I know I'll forget what I came here for.
My head was so full of things to say
But as I open my lips all my words slip away
and anyway
I can't believe you want to turn the page
And move your life onto another stage.
You can change the chapter
you can change the book
But the story remains the same if you'd take a look.
For the times we've had - I don't want to be - a page in your diary
For the good
the bad - I don't want to see - a page in your diary
For the happy
the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.
Perhaps if I held you I could win again
I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes
I always recognize
Would tell me everything is gonna be fine.
Your gonna be mine for a long time.
For the times we've had - I don't want to be - a page in your diary

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is preparing a Tier I Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the general environmental and related impacts of constructing and operating a high-speed ground transportation (HSGT) system between Atlanta, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee for the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the US Department of Transportation and in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The goals of the Tier I EIS process are to: 1) examine the regional transportation implications of the project concept; 2) evaluate the modal and technology alternatives available to provide HSGT between the two cities; 3) develop and evaluate location alternatives; and 4) determine the logical segments to be carried forward for detailed evaluation in subsequent (Tier II) environmental documents.
The scoping period ended on October 4, 2007.

Scansion is an analytical process that illustrates the extent to which a poem's normative rhythmical patterning – its metre – is realized in its individual lines. All language is rhythmical; what makes metrical different from non-metrical language is not therefore that metrical language has rhythm, but that its rhythm is marked by a phonological feature (stress, or pitch or length) that recurs in predictable patterns: it is this patterning that defines a poem's metre, and which is the object of interest in scansion. Analysis of rhythm on its own terms, as something sui generis, without a sense of how that rhythm might be part of (or depart from) a given poem's metre is not scansion, but "phrasing". …

James Keach wants to team up with his brother, Stacy, in a miniseries about John Wilkes Booth and his older brother, actor Edwin Booth. But first James, who co-stars in the soon-to-be released film The Razor's Edge with Bill Murray, is shooting Moving Violations, a comedy about a traffic school, with Murray's younger brother, John, 24. Then he'll produce a spoof about the security-guard business, called Armed and Dangerous, in which Dan Aykroyd has expressed interest. Not that Stacy, meanwhile, is sitting around with nothing to do. His current CBS detective series, Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, is a success—even if brother James does teasingly refer to it as "Guts and Sluts." Do we detect a little sibling rivalry?
Lloyd Bridges, who plays cosmetics mogul Grant Harper on ABC's Paper Dolls, insisted, after seeing the series' pilot episode, that his onscreen office needed a facelift. "I wanted it to be warmer," says Bridges. "There was a lot of metal in the office. They needed about an hour to remove the shine. I got them to put in more wood." He also got the set designers to remove many of the horse statues that decorated his office. "I like horses," says Bridges, whose character is an equestrian, "but they had me surrounded with them. Instead I wanted pictures of my family and friends." Bridges' wish was the producer's command: The office was redone for a mere $17,000.
Unlike her hubby, Dick Cavett, who has made guest appearances on such soaps as The Edge of Night and All My Children, actress Carrie Nye has been a regular on the CBS soap Guiding Light for four months. But it now seems her days on the show are numbered. Come mid-November Nye's character, the evil Susan Piper, will meet an untimely death. The circumstances of her demise haven't been scripted, but Nye has voiced her preference: "I want to be impaled on a hatpin."
Tired of quiche jokes, satirist Bruce (Real Men Don't Eat Quiche) Feirstein is cooking up a smorgasbord of projects having nothing to do with food—well, almost nothing. One is a novel for Simon and Schuster, Living Together, which he calls a contemporary love story. "The sexual revolution was like a massive dinner party with 100 things to sample, and now the time has come to pay the check," says Feirstein, who can't resist gastronomic metaphors. Also on Bruce's burners are a play called Sealed With a Kiss, to air next year on HBO; a film about life at a Catskills hotel in 1945, co-authored by Alan King; and a screenplay based on a segment of Best Legs in the 8th Grade, a comedy now showing on HBO.

Sense and sensibility for soon-to-be-born twin states
By Gautam Pingle
Published: 11th Aug 2013 11:39:03 AM
With the final phase of demerger of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh imminent, the emotional element must now be replaced by cold and hard thinking of the opportunities that such a reorganisation offers to both successor states—Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and Andhra regions) and Telangana.
Both states have a reasonable fiscal position. The two regions will constitute medium-sized states and are not 'small' by any criteria. It is reported that in 2012-13, the state's tax revenues stood at Rs 69,146 crore. Allocating Headquarters tax revenues to the two successor states by their population proportions, Telangana revenues will be Rs 25,767 crore and Seemandhra's Rs 43,379 crore.
Fiscal consolidation may be necessary for both successor states in order to fund the transition and further development. The allocation of loans secured by the composite state will also impinge on the fiscal situation for each successor state as it is already doing now for AP. A cold hard look needs to be taken at projects and schemes introduced by the AP government which cost the exchequer heavily and diverted funds from basic development and productive capital formation. This situation for both successor states must lead to a drive for lean and efficient government. The Legislative Council is one white elephant that can be abolished as well as the number of cabinet ministers, special chief secretaries and DIGs which can be diminished.
For example, of the 400-odd IAS officers in the AP cadre, Telangana can manage with about 50-70. More IAS officers means more expenditure and more confusion and conflict among them and delayed action. Similarly, of the 210 IPS AP cadre officers, Telangana can do with less than 75.
Decentralising government to the district level with ministers stationed in the district headquarters with all powers over the district administration almost like the chief minister has over the state administration would improve governance. The accessibility to the government would increase for the common citizen and both IAS and other officers would be stationed at this level.
Sensible, fair, rational and economic solutions are available for both successor governments. For the good of the people of the two states, let us hope that better sense will prevail.

To complain. A mild form of whining.
Quit cribbing about how rough your day has been.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Cribbing is the naval slang for cheating in a exam and getting away with it like only a true champion does.
"Did you just crib that last exam" "Hell yeah my cribbing is top notch"

Philippines – Funeral Business in Crisis
MANILA – THE global financial crisis is starting to have an impact on the funeral business in the Philippines, with the industry reporting a rise in a preference for modest send-offs, it was reported on Friday.
Funerals, whether for rich or poor, tend to be lavish affairs with no expense spared in this South-east Asian Roman Catholic country.
However, people are starting to cut down on costs, Renato Dychangco, president of the Philippine Mortuary Association (PMA), told the BusinessWorld newspaper.
Adding to his members' woes, the industry, he said, now also has to 'deal with higher fuel, power and labour costs'.
'Here in the Philippines, most of the people are in the lower to middle classes,' he told the paper.
'So with their buying power squeezed, they have to cut back on expenses and some of that includes funeral spending,' Mr Dychangco said.
However, Mr Antonio Puyat, chief operating officer of Loyola Memorial Park, one of Manila's biggest funeral homes, said scrimping on funerals had not 'plunged to the bare-bones level'.
'Filipinos are not spending heavily on burials, unlike the Chinese, but they make sure that while the service is modest, it is dignified,' Mr Puyat told the paper.
La Funeraria Paz assistant vice-president Renato Tanquintic said that while business was good he had noticed 'upscale clients reducing spending'. 'Times are hard,' he told the paper.

Hi guys,
please excuse my ignorance however I have some questions and I couldn't find a thread adequate for just the Optimal Title Mod.
I wan't to use the Optimal Title Mod for a custom theme SE Gamer Dark Style by Christian Bullock , its been modified a little have a look if you like www.therustforums.com To make things a little more challenging I can write in Java and Python however not really any PHP my uni decided to teach .net instead :3.
Am I wrong to assume that the mod is deeply integrated into the prosilver theme? or is it a rather easy process to transfer it to another theme?
I have no issue with doing a little reading in order to get the correct information to make the Mod work this SE Gamer theme. However I don't know where to start.
I am hoping one of the regulars here can direct me in the right direction.
Thanks Ben

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Romantic, Cute, Mod, Casual, Funky
What materials did you use? Multi-color Turquoise (Howlite) chips, Swarovski crystal bicones, Moss Agate 3-pc Pendant.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Go through your bead inventory from time to time and see what's in there that you may have forgotten about. These colorful Turquoise Howlite beads have been in my inventory for several months and I had never quite decided what to do with them. The Moss Agate pendant had been purchased more than a year ago when my younger daughter saw a $65 Moss Agate necklace at a craft show that she liked and asked if I could make a similar one for her. I bought lots of Moss Agate beads and several pendants for a lot less than $65 and made my daughter a beautiful necklace that she loves. This pendant was left over and just sitting in my inventory until I visualized it as part of the Watermelon Party.
Love the colors. Really pretty.
Thank you. It just says "summer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Clear skies and a slight breeze await space shuttle Discovery and its seven-astronaut crew as they maneuver toward a landing at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) this afternoon.
If the weather holds, Discovery will make a one-hour descent across the heartland of America in broad daylight for a 1:01 p.m. EST (1801 GMT) touch down. The 15-day mission delivered a bus-sized room to the International Space Station (ISS), made an emergency repair of a torn solar wing and dropped off a new member of the orbital laboratory's crew.
So far, weather forecasts call for a picture-perfect day here at KSC, and mission managers said that only slight northerly winds concern them.
Pamela Melroy, the STS-120 mission's commander and a retired U.S. Air Force colonel on her third spaceflight, said today's landing promises to be a highlight of her piloting career.
"I'm actually the one who gets the land the shuttle," said Melroy, who is NASA's second female shuttle commander, earlier in the spaceflight. "That is going to be a very thrilling moment for me."
NASA originally scheduled the orbiter to land before dawn but Melroy opted for a daylight landing. Mission managers called the sleeping schedule adjustments to make the landing attempt a "college sleep shift."
"Just like driving ? making a landing is easier in the daylight," Melroy said from space Tuesday afternoon. "But the real reason we asked for the switch is because the sleep shift involved shifting later instead of earlier, and so that's a little easier to do."
Coming home
Before undocking from the space station on Monday morning, five-month spaceflyer Clay Anderson climbed aboard Discovery and swapped places with astronaut Dan Tani. A tearful goodbye ceremony preceded the changeover, but Anderson said yesterday that he's prepared for his return to Earth.
"Physically and mentally I'm really ready to be home," Anderson told SPACE.com from the mid deck of Discovery on Tuesday. He said that he's looking forward to juicy steaks, ice cold drinks and the sights and sounds of Earth. "You just can't get that on the International Space Station."
Anderson rides back today in a special recumbent seat, which will lay him down during the sonic-boom breaking entry into the planet's atmosphere. The Nebraska native mentioned he's optimistic about beating out the effects of readjusting to being earthbound--but perhaps overly so, he said.
"I've worked very hard on my physical exercise since I arrived with [STS-117] back in June," he said.
But teasing commander Melroy, Anderson explained he's not sure how his internal equilibrium will react. "I've been off the planet with minimal gravity for five months," he said, "and I'll come thumping back to the ground--I'm sorry, Pam--I'll smoothly come back to the ground."
Speaking on behalf of both rookie and veteran spaceflyers on board Discovery, Melroy said the time in space has been a dream.
"We're thrilled and excited and ready to come," she said yesterday.
Construction in space
During their 11 docked days with the space station, the crew of Discovery installed the 31,500-pound (14,288-kilogram) Harmony module to the space station. They also relocated the massive Port 6 solar array truss segment from the top of the ISS to its port-most end, then looked on as two twin sets of solar array wings deployed.
One of those snagged and tore during its unfurling, however, sending NASA into a scramble to have spacewalkers Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock repair the wing with handcrafted "cuff links."
With Discovery now homeward bound, space station astronauts have some major housekeeping to pull off in November. The three-person Expedition 16 crew will need to relocate the module with an attached mating adapter, configure the stack and finally hook up coolant, power and avionics lines to it.
Once configured, Harmony will serve as a gateway for future modules like the Columbus laboratory, set for departure aboard space shuttle Atlantis on an ambitious launch date of Dec. 6.
Pilot and rookie astronaut George Zamka will assist Melroy with landing from Discovery's cockpit while mission specialists Stephanie Wilson and Wheelock sit behind them. In the mid deck below the control-packed cockpit, astronauts Anderson, Parazynski and Italian spaceflyer Paolo Nespoli will return to Earth.
If the first attempt at landing goes as planned, Discovery will pass over 12 U.S. states before its scheduled landing precisely at 1:01:50 p.m. EST (1801:50 GMT). Should foul weather show up, flight controllers will instruct the crew to wait until they can use another opportunity to land at 2:36 p.m. EST (1936 GMT).
If that chance is ruined, the space shuttle will try again Thursday at 11:33 a.m. EST (1633 GMT) and may also aim for landing sites at California's Edward's Air Force Base or New Mexico's White Sands Space Harbor later in the day. NASA has not activated the two backup landing sites for tomorrow's landing because of the unusually fair forecast.

Several businesses associated with the natural gas industry have been identified by city officials as not having paid occupancy permits, a first step in determining taxable entities.
It's a problem that points to a wider issue with which the city is dealing: managing the growth associated with the Marcellus Shale gas industry and keeping track of companies opening shop here, according to city officials.
"We've caught at least 10 companies in the last 30 days," said Joseph Gerardi, city codes administrator. "Ninety percent of them are in the natural gas industry.
Mayor Gabriel J. Campana said the issue has created a conundrum for the city: A need to remain business friendly while making sure companies are in compliance with permits and taxes.
"The city could be losing a sizable amount of money," he said. "The buck stops with me. I am the one who prepares budgets and must make sure enough money is coming in to pay for expenses."
However, he said, if there is a silver lining, the city continues to generate tax and permit revenue from new businesses that comply with the procedure.
Gerardi agrees with the mayor.
"We want to see the natural gas industry here, but when there are subcontractors and companies associated with the industry that aren't following procedure, we don't want that," Gerardi said. "I think a lot of the problem is the businesses don't know about the occupancy permit and tax requirements."
The city uses the occupancy permits, which cost $60, as a cross-reference for taxing purposes.
Codes works with Tom O'Connor, the city treasurer and tax collector, to ensure businesses pay their taxes.
"We take the (permits), scan them and send them to our tax collection agency, the Central Tax Bureau of Pennsylvania (Centax)," O'Connor said. Depending on the type of business, the city collects a business privilege or mercantile tax, he said.
The amount of taxes collected is no small matter, according to the 2010 figures at the city treasurer's office.
Last year, the city collected about $1.4 million in business privilege tax and $290,390 in mercantile tax, O'Connor said.
His office also collects the $52 assessed annually on each worker in the city for local services. That tax generated $1,035,632 in 2010, O'Connor said.
In comparison, in 2008, the city collected $1.1 million in business privilege taxes, $966,918 in local services taxes, while mercantile tax collections have declined since then, with $306,609 collected in 2008, O'Connor said.
"Should a company not report earned income tax or business taxes, the city can't find it for purposes of assessing the local services tax," he said.
Joseph Pawlak, city director of finance and budget, said uncollected taxes aren't solely related to natural gas businesses.
A percentage of the problem involves landlords who own property, rent those properties out and don't pay business privilege tax, he said.
The city isn't the only entity that may be losing out on tax revenue.
Williamsport Area School District also may be losing on earned income not reported, according to Jeff Richards, district business manager.
That could occur should businesses not report their employees and wages, he said.
"Businesses are obligated to report their number of employees and wages," Richards said.
Real estate taxes in the city are collected by the city treasurer, O'Connor said.
"The school district collects real estate taxes from the remaining townships within the school district," he said. "Earned income tax is collected by the school district Municipal Earned Income Tax office."
Jeanette Bower, of the school district Municipal Earned Income Tax office, said the school district can't levy earned income taxes on non-residents, such as gas workers living in other states and working here. But, the school district collects non-resident taxes for the city and other municipalities, she said.
Leadership at the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce have been alerted to the growing problem and doing their part to publish information and find a solution.
"With all the new companies and the pace that they have moved into the area, it is no wonder some problems have occurred," said Vincent Matteo, president and CEO of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. The problems are easily fixed with some outreach, Matteo said.

A lot more gamers on this board than I thought. It puts a smile on my face.
LX, you can add me to your friends list as May@May_S, and my current science vessel is the USS Mandarr, if you see me around anywhere! I'm Lt. Commander 2 or 3 right now. My husband is already Commander 4 or something like that.. I'm just too busy to play much!
"mayness, you need to have a siggy line that says "Paleo Information Desk" or something!" -FMN <3
I'm blogging again, at least a little bit.
A lot more gamers on this board than I thought. It puts a smile on my face.
Apparently I didn't get in either! hehe I'm horrible at RTS games usually but SC2 just looks too amazing to skip. I'll learn eventually.
I cannot wait for Diablo III (if you are looking to blow up your mouse with a newer game try Torchlight). Thankfully there are so many awesome games out there right now I'm still occupied. I really enjoyed Dragon Age, long but fun. Mass Effect 2 has been very fun over the last few weeks, I might be 50% through. I can't wait to return to Rapture when I'm done with ME2.
I have yet to completely break my Warcrack addiction. Lately (especially since guild fell apart a few months ago) I've just resorted to a little PvP and auction house farming...5k in the past week works for me. I really enjoy so much of the game its hard to completely drop it.
Recovering UO addict here. After that there was no way I was getting into WoW. SC2 is growing on me though. All MMPGs in moderation for now.
Check out my primal blog: http://primalroar.posterous.com/
Lol, I get back from school and the thread has exploded with gamers, I love it! Although I played some games casually, WoW was the one that I really got into. I played from launch in 2004 until about a year ago when I got more serious in school.
Although I know that WoW is a total timesink, I still really miss it sometimes. My favorite time ever in the game was doing the rank 14 grind back in the original PvP system. I used to pvp on a holy/disc priest (back when priests were extremely, um, fragile) named Shine cause I'm a masochist, lol.
But even with dual-specs and the opportunity to play shadow, I still think that I would play a healer in pvp. Nothing is more fun than successfully healing yourself while a prep rogue blows all his cooldowns and still fails to kill you.
I did not expect to find a thread like this on here!
I'm not very good at RTS games but I loves playing them in single-player because Blizzard is amazing at creating immersive worlds with an incredible depth of lore. I didn't even sign up for the SCII beta. I just want me some stories...lol
I don't generally go for online multiplayer but that changed when FFXI came out...I gave 7 years of my life to that game. Tarutaru BLM75 RDM75 BRD75. I miss it so much, it hurts when I pee.
/ma "Blizzard IV" King Buffalo
2010 is going to be amazing. FFXIII in less than a month and the end of da...um...FFXIV probably in September.
I'm quitting one of my three jobs for sure!
I see a couple of you are playing Star Trek Online. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a huge Trekkie. Is this game worth the cost and the time to play it? I've heard mixed reviews about it. What do you guys think?
If you're a trekkie you'll like the game (I'm a trekkie too). It feels like Star Trek. The ship-to-ship combat is a lot of fun but I wish there were more away team missions. I also like their way of grouping people automatically for instances so you don't have to PUG.
I'm so happy to find primal gamers! (I'm always happy to find gamers period actually).
I'm Horde for life baby. Tauren druid - Boomkin spec. I bring the doom, I bring the boom, then I bring the OOM.
Undead Fire Spec'd Mage. I used to be ripped on WOW. Now I can do a 5 minute Fran (can't seem to get that bastard under 4). I still wish i could throw fireballs from time to time but I'll take the sub 5 min Fran.
I'm really excited for Starcraft II, can't wait to play it.
I try to stick to only one or two games at a time. Recently, I've been playing Arkham Asylum, which is fantastic. I have also got back into W40k Dawn of War, anyone else here fancy a game sometime?
@Nekurahn if you enjoy single player RTS, Dawn of War 2 has the best single player campaign of any RTS ever, in my opinion.
Apparently I suck at life, so I'm crowd-sourcing my decisions, and sharing what I learn.
My fresh start in London

Jill Coffey's Story
Multiple Health Services In One Convenient Place
Childhood Injury Led to Adult Problems
When she was hit by a car at age 15, Jill Coffey did not know that, years later, the accident would have a dramatic impact on her life. The impact broke two bones in her right leg, and although her wounds healed, the injury interrupted the growth plate. When she reached adulthood, her left leg was almost ¾ inch longer than her right leg. The difference in the length of her legs left Jill's body off-balance, which then led to other problems.
"Overcompensating for the shortness of my right leg left me with back problems," Jill says. "I had surgery to help alleviate the nerve pain and a herniated disk, but the back pain was debilitating."
A visit with her physician, Patricia Daneshmand, D.O., at the Outpatient Center at The Sanctuary, led to physical therapy. Fortunately, the physical therapy services were available at the same location as Dr. Daneshmand's office.
All in One Place
Jill started attending regular sessions with physical therapist, Tom Reid, and physical therapy assistant, Chad Pfeiffer.
"After twelve weeks, I am stronger and healthier," Jill says. "I am more functional. My back and ankle are doing better, and I am managing much better now than I was before."
Tom helps many people who come to the Outpatient Center at The Sanctuary to see one health care professional, and then find they can benefit from more health services available at this location. "Almost 70 percent of the people we see take advantage of the multiple services offered here." Tom says.
Having so many health professionals in one location benefits the patient and the health care professional, Tom says. "It is really nice to have the opportunity to just go across the hall to discuss patient findings, and potentially request any changes to the care of patients referred to us from our Spine Center. We also have access to patient X-rays and MRIs taken in this building, so instead of having to call an office building's medical records division, we can just have radiology send the records up to us in a matter of minutes."
Convenient Care
For Jill, having her primary care physician and physical therapy services in one location meant less time in the car, driving from one appointment to the next.
"I know I can get all the services I need here," Jill says. With on-site lab services, nuclear diagnostics, a spine center, breast health center and day surgery, the Outpatient Center at The Sanctuary offers many health care needs in one convenient location.
"I will always try to come here first, because it's close to my house," Jill says. "If I can get something done here, I don't see the need to go anywhere else."

Heron Lake Winery specializes in Burgundian varietals in the cool climate of Wild Horse Valley. David Mahaffey and John Newmeyer own Heron Lake Winery. The production facilities and caves are currently under construction. Mahaffey and Newmeyer currently make about 400 cases of Pinot Noir a year in the St Helena AVA.
n 1978, John Newmeyer together with other investors bought about 950 acres of land in Wild Horse Valley. Two years later, they planted 24 acres of Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Chardonnay.
The vineyard is now Chardonnay and Pinot Noir via budding-over and new planting. Newmeyer made his first wine under the Heron Lake Winery label in 1985, which remains the only winery in the AVA. The wine, branded as "Miss Olivia Brion", is now made and barrel-aged on-site using new crush pad and cave.
Heron Lake Pinot Noir has high acidity and ripe fruit flavors. There is distinctive minerality on the finish. Newmeyer and Mahaffey attribute this to the region's mineral laden soils.
Comments & Reviews
in the 1880's my wife's great grandfather, Dr. Francis Wrightson, a PhD in chemistry, and his family lived in Wild Horse valley. We assume that he was studying soils, and the growth of grapes in the Napa Region, as that is something his Doctoral Dissertataion involved.
If you're one of the people n Wild Horse valley, and are also a history buff, or perhaps a decendant of the Wrightson family, who cam from England, please write me. I canbe reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

"I didn't really think much about Rutgers until I got there, and I see its a great program," said Clifford, who was accompanied by his father and teammate Josh Mercado. "They don't talk as much about football as they do about family."
In fact, most of what impressed Clifford about Rutgers had little to do with football. A conversation he had with assistant Anthony Campanile really stuck with him.
"He was like, 'I don't just recruit guys, I get my guys recruited for jobs.' That really got my attention... that they'll help me get a future job if I don't succeed in football," said Clifford. "And I like the facilities, too."
Head coach Kyle Flood also stressed the off-field portion of the Rutgers experience, highlighting some of the team's academic goals.
"I like his vision for the program that he shared during the presentation," said Clifford. "Their goal is to try and get their whole team above a 3.0 (grade point) average. They had no guys fail out, and it's mandatory for them to take 10 hours of study hall per week."
The First Team All-Hudson County selection also had an in-depth conversation with offensive line coach Mitch Browning. The two are in the process of developing a quality relationship.
"He told me he saw my highlight tape and he really likes me," Clifford said. "He gave me his card and told me to call him. I like his personality and the way he coaches. He reminds me of my coach. I feel like I get along with him really well."
Clifford, who recently earned his first BCS offer from Iowa State, will visit Temple Saturday, UMass March 29 and Old Dominion Feb.5. He also intends to perform at the Rutgers Big Man Academy this summer.

Congratulations, your family is growing! Each new child brings joy and excitement to your life, but preparing your child for a new sibling can be challenging. You want your first-born to continue to feel special, unique and important, while also welcoming a new baby into the family. It's essential to recognize what this transition means for you, your child, and your family, and to offer parental guidance to your first-born to help ease the transition into the new role of being an older sibling.
How you'll approach preparing your first-born for a new sibling depends on such factors as the age and gender of your first child, and the reasons why your family is changing – such as pregnancy, adoption, step child or foster child – among other factors.
Use these tips as a guide, adjusting them to meet your particular circumstances:

Paintings, prints and drawings on display come from public and private collections. The 80 exposed works reflect personal experiences of the artist and it is interesting to note that the course is chronological: the visitor is led to discover the feeling of Chagall about the war, while ending on a note of hope and optimism.

Former New Orleans Affordable Homeownership program head Stacey Jackson has not met the standard for overcoming the constitutional right to anonymous speech and therefore is not entitled to private information about online commenters, lawyers for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune said in a court filing Friday (Feb. 28).
Jackson, who is facing federal fraud charges stemming from her time with the city-funded program focused on blight in New Orleans, is trying to unmask two anonymous online commenters she suspects of being federal law enforcement officials. Jackson has raised a variety of issues in her defense efforts, including selective prosecution based upon her race, alleged violations of grand jury secrecy rules and possible prosecutorial misconduct related to comments made about her case on Nola.com.
After reviewing sealed investigative reports into the online commenting scandal that led to the resignation of U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and others, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Wilkinson ruled that he would review information about two NOLA.com posters before deciding if Jackson is entitled see the data.
Attorneys for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune are challenging that ruling. The news organization said Jackson has failed to establish that the commenters had any connection to law enforcement and is barred by constitutional protections for anonymous political speech from obtaining private information about them.
The lawyers point out that it was the magistrate judge, not Jackson's attorney, who singled out the online monikers "aircheck" or "jammer1954" and speculated whether they could possibly be "management-level Justice Department prosecutors or law enforcement officers," leading Jackson to seek information about those commenters. That, the news organization's attorney say, does not meet the standards of the law.
The lawyers argue that "courts across the country have acknowledged that 'the constitutional rights of Internet users, including the First Amendment right to speak anonymously, must be carefully safeguarded,' and therefore careful scrutiny of a request for disclosure of the identity of an anonymous speaker is necessary to safeguard the First Amendment values inherent in anonymity.
"Courts accordingly have held that the party seeking such disclosure must make a showing sufficient to overcome the right of anonymous speech," the lawyers wrote. "Here, there has been no such showing."
Wilkinson ordered the news organization to turn over the private information on the two online monikers for him to review. If the data belongs to private citizens, and not Justice Department officials, he said he would not share it with Jackson. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune asked U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon to review that decision. She will preside over Jackson's trial, which is set for May 12.
Wilkinson made the decision after reviewing secret Justice Department documents about the online commenting scandal that felled other criminal convictions and investigations, and which led to the resignation Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jan Mann and Sal Perricone.
Perricone and Mann commented under a number of monikers, but the identities of those behind "aircheck" and "jammer1954" have not previously been made public.
Those names, along with one used by Perricone, were singled out in a December order by Wilkinson as authors of "the most egregious" comments left under an Aug. 8, 2008 article about a grand jury investigation into Jackson's actions at NOAH.
Wilkinson pointed to a comment by "jammer1954" that reads, "Mark my words. The canaries are going to start singing, and Car 54 is going up in smoke. Stacey Jackson is going to rat out every one, every body, and every thing to make the best deal for herself-after all she did this as chief of NOAH so her behavior isn't going to change. RayRay is going down, as is Cedric and who knows who else."
But lawyers for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune argue in their filing that the United States Supreme Court has recognized that "in public debate we must tolerate insulting, and even outrageous, speech in order to provide adequate 'breathing space' to the freedoms protected by the First Amendment." NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune also challenges assertions by Wilkinson that comments authored by "aircheck" and "jammer1954" were made "in close proximity" to those made by an alias of Perricone's, "campstblue." Aircheck posted roughly 500 comments, including at least 11 referring to Jackson.
The online comments by Perricone, Mann and others were part of a ruling last September by U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt granting a new trial for five former New Orleans Police officers found guilty of their roles in the deadly Danziger Bridge shooting after Hurricane Katrina. In his order, Engelhardt cited "grotesque prosecutorial misconduct," including comments by Mann, then second-in-command, Perricone, then senior litigation counsel, and a third Justice Department lawyer, Karla Dobinski.
After that ruling, several high-profile defendants have tried to leverage the commenting scandal to aid their own cases.

WASHINGTON - Another massive winter storm is expected to drop more snow and ice on an already frozen Mid-Atlantic region.
Just as the area got a clear day, Monday, to begin clean up, another big storm that's already coated the Midwest is headed east, ready to bury the region yet again.
"The difference here is I know which lump of snow is my car," resident Janet Ridge joked.
Even with a sunny Monday, there's so much snow that cities like Washington, D.C., are still paralyzed.
Area schools were closed, though D.C. considered holding classes but faced city-wide opposition to that possibility.
"It is ridiculous for people to even think about having to try to get their kids to school," one parent said.
The closest airport to D.C. also remained closed and the District's 220,000 federal workers also had the day off. Buses and trains operated in some places for a few hours.
Thousands have been without power since last Friday and some are not expected to regain service until this Friday.
Some residents took the wild weather in stride.
"I'm from New Hampshire so this is nothing," commuter Ned Goodwin said. "But obviously there's some damage so the city has to get itself back on its feet."
Getting around is still tough and even dangerous in many areas.
Forecasters say the second storm will hit Washington, D.C., Monday evening and could drop another 10 to 20 inches.
The snow comes less than two months after a snow storm dumped more than 16 inches on the nation's capital in December. Washington has received more than a foot of snow only 13 times since 1970, according to the National Weather Service.

Penn parties, streaks, studies and sings its way through the storm
With classes cancelled on Monday and Tuesday, students took advantage of unexpected free time
Penn parties, streaks, studies and sings its way through the storm
With classes cancelled on Monday and Tuesday, students took advantage of unexpected free time
Across Penn's campus, streakers, studiers and singers all used the time off during Hurricane Sandy to their advantage. Despite being stuck inside for most of Monday and Tuesday, students passed the time in a variety of ways — some more unconventional than others.
Many students — particularly upperclassmen — took the storm as a chance to extend their weekend partying a few days longer.
In an off-campus house on Delancey Street, for example, six juniors and seniors gathered for a "Monopoly, Scrabble, wine and beer" party Sunday night before the storm.
"This has definitely made my week a lot more fun," said Wharton senior Maddie Vincent, one of the house's residents. "I was worried about doing some work, but can now just sit around the candles and play board games with my friends."
Monday night, Penn's swim team was also eager to take advantage of the two extra days.
"Swim practices got canceled, so we held a party in the swim team's residence," said Wharton junior Will Hartje, a member of the team. The party lasted until about midnight and was held off-campus at 39th Street and Baltimore Avenue.

Others were a bit more daring.
At around 1 a.m. Tuesday, a crowd of about 50 students gathered at Shoemaker Green in front of the Palestra to watch a handful of men strip down and streak through Penn Park.
Around the same time at the other end of campus, music pulsed from the DJ booth at Smokey Joe's as about 30 students stood scattered around the booths and dance floor.
"It felt like stolen time — such a wonderful two days," said College senior Carolyn Vinnicombe, who was at the bar with friends that night.
In addition to partying, other students chose to lie low throughout the hurricane.
At 4041 Locust Street, eight seniors rose early Monday to shop for groceries at the Fresh Grocer. They made pancakes, hash browns and eggs and huddled together to watch CNN.
"We're all just having nice bonding time," said College senior Jake Stock, who lives in the house.
Food proved to bring together many others throughout the storm, as well.
For instance, College sophomore Julia Sigman spent one night having a chocolate-covered pretzel party with her roommates at their off-campus house.
Back on campus, College senior Haftom Khasai and his three roommates invited their hall to an Insomnia cookie evening Monday. The students ordered the cookies the previous night, in anticipation of Insomnia's closure on Monday.
Together Khasai's hall — the International Residential Program in Harnwell College House — ate cookies, drank milk, listened to music and watched the winds blowing across the high rise green, all while strobe lights flashed in the background.
Others used Hurricane Sandy as an opportunity to get caught up studying.
College sophomore Madeleine Brown had her archeology midterm postponed to Wednesday. Apart from venturing outside briefly, she spent the majority of the two days inside studying.
"I am glad I had this extra time to study," Brown said. "I felt a little underprepared for the midterm."
As the storm grew Monday, College senior Maddy Dopico planned to work for as long as she had power in her room on 41st and Pine streets — or at least until she had to leave for Off the Beat rehearsal at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter house at 3 p.m.
Off the Beat, the a cappella group of which Dopico is president, will perform its first fall show Friday, and is anxious to cram in as much practice time as possible
"We're all going to get on our rain boots and hoods and try to get over there to rehearse," Dopico said as she sat in bed with her laptop splayed in front of her, surrounded by textbooks and candles.
Though the group members were ultimately unable to trek to SAE later that afternoon due to worsening weather, they were eager to compensate for lost time by practicing for seven hours the next day.
"We're not going to put anyone in danger for the sake of a cappella," Dopico said. "Unless we fear for our lives, Sandy can't stop us."

I have been practicing CT for a couple of months now. Cold Showers 10 minutes every day, 45 minutes Ice baths on Saturdays, and Ice packs two or three times a week at night. Zero changes in my blood sugars because of it.... As a matter of fact, my blood sugars have gone up. I believe it is because of the fasting, that my morning sugars are now higher. Because I am not "feeding" myself throughout the day, my body is dropping more sugar in to keep things running. I am however dropping weight much faster....
I was hoping that Primal would "cure" me of my diabetes, it has not, I suspect my body got too messed up from diabetes to ever be cured. I took myself of insulin last September, my Dr. very un happy with me and said all my weight loss had nothing to do with being Primal but having higher blood sugars and that I was just killing myself faster..... "Fuck you Dr. Brown" has been my battle cry ever since. I believe that eventually I am going to have to go back on insulin, but not right now. I want to get to my goals of <15% BF and then I will consider it, but then I will have the tools in my arsenal to keep from getting in that diabetic insulin spiral of death.....
I Kettlebell therefore I am.

There are so many different factors. CT isn't a cure all sadly. Have their been any positives from it that you can tell? I've been wanting to do some heavy CT...but its expensive to do ice baths...I plan on doing a ton when my pool temp gets low enough.
Have you checked out this list of doctors? Paleo Physicians Network They probably have more around...but they aren't all conveniently listed. This list has doctors who try to get at the root of your problems rather than just say your cholesterol is high and put you on a statin or whatever.
I can't vouch for any of the doctors on the list as I haven't been to any except one but hopefully they are better than standard. I'm seeing Avery Carpenter in Dallas, TX shes a functional medicine chiropractor with a degree in pastoral medicine...which I'm not sure what exactly that is but I think it involves being able to give nutrition advice and things..she seems pretty good. She said she does a modified Jack Kruse Leptin Reset and believes in Paleo eating. The visit that I had went well. Only problem is shes in Dallas and I'm in Lewisville not all that far but I don't have my own car so I have to rely on my brother or mom who doesn't like to travel on the Interstate Highway system.

Hackers are employing search engines such as Google when attacking web applications that hold sensitive data, according to a security expert.
Amichai Shulman, founder and chief technology officer for database and application security company Imperva, said it takes just a few seconds to pluck data such as National Insurance numbers from websites using targeted search terms.
The fact that this data is even on the web is a human error; the information should never be published in the first place. But hackers are using Google in more sophisticated ways to automate attacks against websites, Shulman said.
Shulman said Imperva recently discovered a way to execute a SQL injection attack that comes from an IP address that belongs to Google.
In a SQL injection attack, a malicious instruction is entered on a web-based form and answered by a web application. It often can yield sensitive information from a backend database or be used to plant malicious code on the web page.
Shulman declined to give details on how the attack works during his presentation at the RSA Conference, but said it involves Google's advertising system. Google has been notified, he said.
Manipulating Google is particularly useful since it offers anonymity for a hacker plus an automated attack engine, Shulman said.
Tools such as Goolag and Gooscan can execute broad searches across the web for specific vulnerabilities and return lists of websites that have those problems.
"This is no more a script kiddy game - this is a business," Shulman said. "This is a very powerful hacking capability."
Another attack method is so-called Google worms, which use the search engine to find specific vulnerabilities. With the inclusion of additional code, the vulnerability can be exploited, Shulman said.
"In 2004, this was science fiction," Shulman said. "In 2008, this is a painful reality."
NEXT PAGE: The steps search engines are taking
Hackers are employing search engines such as Google when attacking web applications that hold sensitive data, says a security expert.
Google and other search engines are taking steps to stop the abuse. For example, Google has stopped certain kinds of searches that could yield a trove of personal data in a single swoop. It also puts limits on the number of search requests sent per minute, which can slow down mass searches for vulnerable websites.
In reality, it just forces hackers to be a bit more patient. Putting limits on search also hurts security professionals who want to do automated daily searches of their websites for problems, Shulman said.
Shulman said he's seen another kind of attack called 'site masking', which causes a legitimate website to simply disappear from search results.
Google's search engine penalises sites that have duplicate content and will drop one from its index. Hackers can take advantage of this by creating a website that has a link to a competitor's web page but is filtered through a proxy server.
Google indexes the content under the proxy's domain. If this is done enough times with more proxy servers, Google will consider the targeted web page a duplicate and drop it from its index.
"This is quite a business hassle," Shulman said.
One way website administrators can defend against this is barring their website from being indexed by anything other than the legitimate IP address of a search engine, Shulman said.

I'm Back for More Cash: A Tony Kornheiser Collection (Because You Can't Take Two Hundred Newspapers into the Bathroom)by Tony Kornheiser
I think it's really cool to be on a jury. Take the O.J. jury--the people on that jury got book deals, and they got on Nightline, and some of them even got to meet Greta Van Susteren! They were always being written about in the newspapers: "Juror No. 1, a thirty-six-year-old Caucasian male with a master's degree who works for a high-tech corporation." Throw in a line about how "he likes to hunt and fish," and you've got The Dating Game.I wonder what they'd write about me. "Juror No. 4, a fat, bald, old, whiny Caucasian man who dresses like a vagrant and has complained incessantly about the texture of the toilet paper in the jury lavatory." I try to diet, but unfortunately I've come to the point in life where nearly everything disgusts or disappoints me except food. And so I eat all day long. If I had a family crest, at this point it would be a man with a chicken breast in one hand, a cheeseburger in the other, and a garland of sour-cream-and-onion potato chips around his head. Tony Kornheiser is back. The celebrated Washington Post columnist and ESPN radio and TV personality relates his experience as an OnStar user, a proud new owner of the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ, and a "phone-a-friend" on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And in between, he dishes out political commentary on Monica and Bill and Al and George W. Read all about his quest to fit into size 36 Dockers and his struggle to buy holiday gifts. And know that in the process you're handing this Kornheiser guy the dough for these columns twice. I got into the stock market late. I was deep in my forties and I still had all my money in the bank, earning 2 percent, like it was low-fat milk. My friends laughed at me. Even the people at the bank laughed at me--they had all their money in the market. So I gave my money to a financial adviser, who promised me he would get me a greater return than the bank. A baboon could do that, Tony. Yes, but would a baboon give me steak knives?--from I'm Back for More Cash.
