There's no practical reason to keep that old baseball cap around, except that it's your good luck charm. If you feel silly, though, you're not alone. As a human race, we've been trying to control our fortunes for a while. From medieval Europe to ancient China to contemporary science fiction, we have wanted to understand our luck, and maybe even create it. Unfortunately, nobody's been quite successful yet. But still, we try. So we turned to some professors for a little more understanding.
First, the Middle Ages. Karen Spierling, associate professor of history, gives context to the prevailing superstition of that time. When Catholicism spread across Europe, the Church incorporated local practices into its teachings. The blend of paganism and Christianity had people planting communion wafers in their fields and rubbing the feet of saint statues.
"Even though people understood the Church's teachings, it wasn't enough to stop them from looking for a source of luck and protection," says Spierling.
To find a balance between control and chaos, citizens of the Renaissance liked to believe that everyone was on a wheel of fortune. If you were a good citizen, you might not fall off.
But philosophy suggests otherwise. "Most people think they deserve praise for their good deeds and blame for their bad deeds," says Alexandra Bradner, assistant professor of philosophy. "But many philosophers argue that because so many factors out of our control affect our actions, there is very little of any action for which we are directly responsible."
So maybe it's not safe to trust luck, after all. Xinda Lian, professor of modern languages references Dao de Jing by Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher. One passage notes that "it is on disaster that good fortune perches; it is beneath good fortune that disaster crouches."
And even though the wheel of fortune might be out of our control, Lian admits he's still wary of the number 13—for no real reason. "Everyone likes luck," he jokes.
He's right. We do like luck. How many times have you seen someone knock on wood? Or step over a crack in the sidewalk? (There are plenty who won't step on the College Seal in front of Swasey Chapel, in case it might jinx graduating.)
Even futuristic thinking plays with the idea of luck. An article called "The Genetics of Luck" in Wired magazine talks about Larry Niven's Known Space science fiction novels, where certain people have a "luck gene" that drives them along a path of safety and success, whether they realize it or not.
In the real world, we have the comfort of knowing that technology continually advances, and modern medicine improves our chances. That should allow us to have a hand on the wheel, right?
Sure. But you might want to hang onto that lucky hat. Why risk it?

As celebrity guests entered the party, they walked into the patio area that hosted the Sony X Headphone's bonfire complete with smores and listening stations along with the Sin Thirst Sin bar showcasing their Hemp & Lemon, Curupira, and Maca & Rose flavored premium energy drinks. The patio area was also home to the Social Media Command Center, a projection of social media feeds from Hot 100 guests and fans. Inside the venue, DJ Vice brought the party to life spinning with his Sony X Headphones from a DJ Booth above the crowd of 1500.
The backroom of the venue was decked out with a Sony video wall playing content from Sony X Headphones, Maxim's Hot 100, and Jacob's Ghost™. Guests also indulged in two Sony X Headphone listening stations and cocktails from the Jacob's Ghost™ Bars.
Jacob's Ghost™ treated Hot 100 attendees to a special menu made from their premium white whiskey. Each bar menu included Ghost Juleps, Jacob's Storm, Ghost Collins, Cranberry Ghost, and the most popular drink of the night, the Ghost Collins.

About Jacob's Ghost™:
In 1795, Jim Beam's founding distiller Jacob Beam embarked on a bold tradition of distilling white whiskey. Now, 218 years later, we've perfected Jacob's legacy with the Beam family's newest whiskey – Jacob's Ghost. While Jacob's Ghost is a clear whiskey, it isn't moonshine or un-aged white dog. It's a one-of-a-kind, bold, aged whiskey, made from the same mash bill that Jacob started with, and then rested for at least one year in white oak barrels and crafted to be uniquely versatile, flavorful and unlike any other white whiskey.
While Jacob's Ghost can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or as a chilled shot, white whiskey is especially versatile in any number of traditional whiskey cocktails, creative new variations, or cocktails that are typically made with white spirits such as vodka or tequila.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
ordered for my daugher who is 11, fits great. was worried xs adult would be too small but it fits great. she's average height and around 85 pounds.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I bought this leo for my 12 year old daughter, order based on size chart which would put her in an adult mediium, unfortunately the Med is way too small. Will be returning and possibly trying the next size up.
Age: 30-39
I bought this in black for my 10 year old daughter, she's tall and slim, the 12-14 fit well, but she did not like the bra lining inside since she's not developed and thought the assymetrical back didn't feel comfortable. It also seemed a bit wider than longer and she has a long torso so she asked me to return.
Excellent quality though, nice and soft material, well made, just not her preference.
I got this in the blue, and beware- it is bright! It makes me stand out in class a little too much, I think; although, I did get a lot of positive comments on the color. It also makes me look kind of fat. It's not very flattering for your line at all. It's pretty supportive though, but it does ride up a bit.
I received this in the mail and there was no return slip included, so I had to cope with the size small which was a little tight on my body. I am around 100 pounds, with a height of 5'2". I rarely wear this anymore because of how uncomfortable it is riding up and too tight. Make sure you know your size before ordering.

Rule violation costs teen shot at billfish grand slam
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Will Kilpatrick caught a blue marlin, a white marlin and a sailfish in the same day, but his accomplishment won't be approved by the International Game Fish Association for inclusion in its all-time list of billfish grand slams.
Kilpatrick's catch would have been the third official North Carolina billfish grand slam. Catches must adhere to IGFA rules to be recognized and Kilpatrick, who was making his first deep sea fishing trip, violated one of most basic requirements when he received assistance with his blue marlin catch.
A grand slam consists of catching three different species of billfish on the same day. The 13-year-old eighth grader caught a blue marlin that was estimated to weigh between 200 and 250 pounds, a white marlin estimated at 60 to 80 pounds and a sailfish that weighed an estimated 40-60 pounds. All of the fish were released.
"When the blue marlin hit, Will went to the fighting chair and the first mate handed him the rod. That is a violation of the IGFA rules," said Will Kirkpatrick's father, Mike Kirkpatrick, who learned of the rule while filling out the record application forms. He confirmed the interpretation of the rules with IGFA rules administrator Jack Vitek.
"No one else can touch the rod, reel or line once the fish bites. We didn't know. They were just out fishing. We knew it was a grand slam, but we didn't know there were so many rules."
The IGFA rule is clear that the mate handing the rod to the Kilpatrick was a violation.
Catches are disqualified by, "The act of persons other than the angler in touching any part of the rod, reel, or line either bodily or with any device, from the time a fish strikes or takes the bait or lure, until the fish is either landed or released ..."
Kilpatrick was making his first deep sea fishing trip with George Powell of Virginia Beach, Va. Not receiving the official recognition doesn't take away any of his joy, Will Kilpatrick said.
"Not one bit," he said. "I understand the rule now. He didn't have the rod but two seconds, but he set the hook. But it doesn't matter to me if it is a record or not."
Mike Kilpatrick said the error was due to a lack of fishing experience.
"I wasn't there and I've never been deep sea fishing. It was Will's first trip," Mike Kilpatrick said. "We didn't mean to deceive anyone or do anything wrong. We just don't know a lot about fishing."

- Half of them are in sub-saharan Africa
- 60% of sub-saharan African orphans are aids orphans
- An aids orphan doesn't necessarily have aids but is orphaned because of aids
- Only 250,000 are adopted worldwide annually
-Interesting comparison: approximately 2 million pets are adopted annually in the U.S.A.
- 34% of Christians have shown interest in adoption
- Only 1% of Christians adopt, the main reason quoted for not adopting is finances
- If 6% of all Christians adopted there would be no orphans in the world
-98.5% of all orphans do not get adopted
- The average cost of domestic adoption is $25,000 to $35,000
- International adoption cost between $30,000 to $60,000
There are many things Christians are called to do in the Bible. The most important thing Jesus tells us to do is love Him. We are then told to love each other and make disciples for him. It is also made very clear to us that we are to care for the orphans. James, Jesus's brother by Mary and Joseph, states, (James 1:27)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

A great first step to getting into playoff hockey. Just a hard-fought win.
Columbus needed this game big-time. They're still in the hunt for the playoffs, but every point helps them down the stretch. But the Pens pulled away with two quick goals in the third. Columbus scored a late goal to make it interesting, and MAF had to make a couple big saves late with six attackers.
3. Curtis McElhinney — Feels like we've given him a star in every Pens/Jackets game this year. Quietly solid.
2. Beau Bennett — Probably the best-looking Penguin on the ice. Scored the game-winner. Happy learned how to putt. Uh-oh.
1. Marc-Andre Fleury — He needed a win, and the Pens needed a win. And he got it for them.

If you're harboring dreams of owning a business or can't seem to get a current venture off the ground, there's help. The area has a bevy of resources that can arm you with much-needed business acumen.
And most of the offerings are free or affordable.
From mentoring to networking to technical training opportunities, comprehensive business training is attainable through various programs.
"A lot of them cover the basics of business – organizational structure, legal aspects, marketing – and they are low cost or no cost to entrepreneurs," said Beth O'Keefe, business development officer at Erie County Industrial Development Agency.

While the resources are plentiful, a few have eligibility requirements. Some of the programs are geared toward women and minority-owned startups, but the majority of the area's offerings are open to all aspiring business owners.
There are also funding sources, like the ECIDA and the U.S. Small Business Administration, but to get startup capital, you have to have your business plan fully developed, O'Keefe said.

Bacillus acidi-lactici is a gram-negative bacillus closely allied to the colon bacillus group. It is frequently found in the intestinal canal, and is usually considered to be a harmless saprophyte without pathogenic significance. It may be present in water, and is commonly present in milk.1
Greenthal2 reported a case of meningitis due to Bacillus acidi-lactici that occurred in a premature colored girl, aged 1 month. The weight at birth was 4 pounds (1,814 Gm.). There were generalized convulsions, apathy, a bulging fontanel and, later, stupor. The infant refused feedings and appeared ill. There was no fever, vomiting, stiffness of the neck or retraction of the head, and no Kernig sign. The lumbar puncture yielded a thick, pure white, purulent fluid from which Bacillus acidi-lactici was recovered on culture. Death occurred on the eighth day after the onset of symptoms.

Hughesville held wrestling practice Sunday afternoon, an oddity for the team. Usually it's the one day a week head coach Steve Budman gives the Spartans to recover.
This week is different. There's no time to recover, only time to prepare.
The Spartans have a quick turnaround from the grind of three tough matches in the District 4 Duals on Saturday to prepare for their PIAA preliminary round match tonight against District 11 runner-up Saucon Valley. The match starts at 6 p.m. at Whitehall High School.
"It's Super Bowl Sunday and nobody wants to do that, but I think we have enough gas in the tank," Hughesville senior Kyle Barnes said. "One more win and these kids get to see something as freshmen I dreamed about."
Barnes has spent the last few days trying to impart on his teammates how thrilling and amazing the atmosphere is when getting to wrestle at the Giant Center in Hershey. Those words he's imparted on a team routinely putting six freshmen or sophomores into the lineup helped Hughesville finish third in the District 4 Duals this past weekend to earn the district's final qualifying spot in the state tournament.
Hughesville still has one more step to take before earning the school's first trip to Hershey for the state team tournament. Tonight's match with Saucon Valley is a do-or-die match. The winner starts over with a clean slate in Hershey on Thursday.
"I tried to express the feeling you get when you get in that arena in Hershey," Barnes said. "It's just overwhelming and I'm trying to put it through their heads. I'm excited to see what happens."
Budman said after Hughesville's win over Muncy to claim third place in the district he wasn't sure how well his team would be able to bounce back on such a short turnaround. He said he'd have a better feel after practice Sunday how they were feeling.
But he couldn't help but point out to his wrestlers that having to face this quick turnaround is a good thing.
"Bottom line is this is what happens. When you get better, you're going to wrestle more," Budman said. "If you don't understand that concept then you're probably in the wrong sport or you have the wrong goals. The good wrestlers are going to wrestle until March. Here we are in the state team tournament and the reason we're wrestling (today) is we're pretty good."
This wasn't a scenario Budman thought was possible when the season started out. Since returning to coach at Hughesville three years ago, he's progressively gotten more wrestlers out for the team to where he figured he wouldn't be forfeiting any more weights.
Coming off a season where the Spartans advanced to the quarterfinals of the District 4 tournament, Budman was shocked this year when he didn't get some wrestlers out for the team he had expected to. At the start of the season Hughesville was forfeiting two and three weights.
Hughesville went 1-4 at the early-season Blue Mountain Duals - prior to picking up an extra win when Blue Mountain had to forfeit the match for using a wrestler at an ineligible weight. The Spartans have been able to make up for the missing weights by utilizing some of its best wrestlers from 145 to 182 pounds.
Junior Robert White is 25-6 this year and is ranked 20th in the state at 170 pounds despite having wrestled 21 of his matches at 182 pounds. Saturday at District Duals was the first time this year he's weighed in at least 170 pounds when he weighed in at 172.3.
The combination of White, Matt Herr, Kyle Barnes and Dakota Nixon are a combined 100-17 this year and are a big part of the reason Hughesville has been able to advance to this point. Their strength combined with the emergence of freshmen Zach Fry and Trevor Sones and the late-season return of Matt Heinreich made Hughesville a contender in the District 4 Duals despite their No. 12 seed.
"There was a period of time in the beginning of the year where I was pretty down. By this third year, I didn't think I'd be forfeiting," Budman said. "To take a step back for me to forfeit in essence two weights, and some of the year three weights, was tough. Certainly in the beginning of the year, dual-meet wise I did not have as bright an outlook. Then we kept winning. They kept beating guys they shouldn't have beaten. It's pretty neat to be in this situation."
"We got spanked (at the Blue Mountain Duals), but I could see this coming," Barnes said. "No matter what week it was or who we were wrestling, they came downstairs and wrestled with intensity. Whether we had 10 kids at practice because half were out with the flu or whatever, those 10 kids would come in and go hard. I have faith in these guys."

Selling on 'the River' - The eBay Seller's Guide to Selling on Amazon.com"

Product description
Maranga is the name of a fruit, an imaginary fruit: exquisite, tempting, succulent. It reinterprets Scandinavian style in the essentiality of its shape and its rational use of lighting to generate a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The shade is made up of 32 slice-like pieces which fit together to allow chinks of light to escape. This interplay of light and dark generates an effect which is rich in shades of light and prevents glare, while an opening at the bottom fitted with a diffuser gives out direct light downwards. The Maranga collection is available in two diameters - 32cm and 50cm - which can combine to form 2 floor lamps, 2 table versions, 2 hanging and one ceiling lamp. It comes in 3 colours: white, sand and dark grey.

HOT START - David Freed
Available now in hardcover and ebook formats!
"Another well-written yarn told with both a streak of quirky humor and a sense of authenticity. And like many real-life action heroes, as opposed to most fictional ones, Cordell Logan is as uncomfortable with violence as he is capable of it."
—Associated Press
"A double murder propels Freed's well-paced, action-filled fifth mystery featuring flight instructor and former government assassin Cordell Logan. Late one night, big-game hunt guru Roy Hollister and his wife take a swim in the Africa-shaped pool on their estate in Rancho Bonita, Calif. The next morning, a gardener finds their bodies in the pool, each shot with large-caliber rifle bullets of a type used to fell elephants. When the police arrest animal-rights activist Dino Birch for the crime, Logan's former father-in-law asks him to find out whether Birch is innocent. "
—Publishers Weekly
"Freed's fifth adventure featuring Logan will be easily accessible to readers new to the series. Fast paced with generous dollops of humor and populated with vividly crafted and colorful characters, this will satisfy admirers of W.L. Ripley's 'Wyatt Storme' and 'Cole Springer' thrillers." —Library Journal, starred review

Then I saw three icons at the bottom left of the page were. While playing around with them I discovered that the first one (yellow colored, looks like a grid), brings up a dialogue display. On this display you can check what you want on the parent's list and on the cihldren's list.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
March 21, 2012
Saint Vincent Summer Theatre will present four shows during its 44th summer season opening May 31. The season will open with the popular musical comedy, Forever Plaid, which runs from Thursday, May 31 to Saturday, June 9. Suite Surrender, a zany farce by Michael McKeever, will play from Thursday, June 14 to Saturday, June 30. Larry Shue's popular comedy, The Foreigner, will return from Thursday, July 5 to Saturday, July 21. A special, fourth production of The Chief by Rob Zellers and Gene Collier, about Art Rooney, Sr., the legendary founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers, will conclude the season from Thursday, July 26 to Sunday, August 19 – concurrent with the 47th annual Pittsburgh Steelers summer training camp at Saint Vincent. Colleen Reilly will direct all four productions. FOREVER PLAID One of the biggest hits in the history of Saint Vincent Summer Theatre will return for nine performances only. "When we asked our audiences last summer which of our many popular shows they would like to see again, this was clearly top on the list," Ms. Reilly said. "So, we are pleased to present the hilarious and magical tale of the four-part harmony group who, following their untimely demise in 1964, are given one last chance to perform. Let the Plaids serenade you with more than a dozen of the era's most beloved hits, including Catch a Falling Star, Three Coins in the Fountain, Perfidia, and many more. Join us once again for this celebration of the best of the 1950s: a time of innocence, sincerity, and the Ed Sullivan Show." A preview performance is scheduled at 8:10 p.m. Thursday, May 31. Performances are set for 8:10 p.m. June 1-2 and 5-9. A matinee is listed at 2:10 p.m. Saturday, June 2. SUITE SURRENDER"This is a zany delight – a farce, harkening back to the glorious comedies of the '30s and '40s," Ms. Reilly explained. "The time is 1942 and the place is Palm Beach's luxurious Royale Hotel, about to play host to a star-studded USO benefit. The only problem? The benefit's headliners are two Hollywood divas, who can't stand the sight of each other; their long-standing feud is the stuff of tinsel town legend. When they are accidentally assigned to the same hotel suite, chaos seems sure to follow. Their long-suffering assistants must conspire with the hotel's resourceful staff to keep the two grande dames from ever encountering each other. The result is a frothy blend of mistaken identities, witty wordplay, charming romance and riotous slapstick." A preview performance is scheduled at 8:10 p.m. Thursday, June 14. Performances are set for 8:10 p.m. June 15-16, 19-23, and 26-30. Matinees are scheduled for 2:10 p.m. Wednesday, June 20 and Sunday, June 24. THE FOREIGNER "Almost ten years ago we presented our last production of this marvelous comedy and our audiences haven't forgotten," Ms. Reilly continued. "After repeated requests, we are thrilled to present it again. Sargent Froggy LeSeuer of the British Army is a frequent visitor at Betty Meeks's fishing lodge in rural Georgia. On this particular trip he has brought along a friend, Charlie, who is painfully shy. To spare Charlie the difficulty of having to converse with strangers, Froggy tells Betty and her other guests that Charlie is a "foreigner" from an unnamed country, who speaks no English. Froggy's plan backfires, however, when the other guests, convinced that Charlie can't understand a word they're saying, start taking him into their confidence. He learns about everything – from a debutante's romantic troubles to the nefarious plans of the local KKK. In order to defeat the villains' plot, Charlie must emerge from his shell, make friends, learn English, and lead an unlikely band of heroes to victory over evil...all in the course of one of the most blissful and sidesplitting theatrical experiences… ever." A preview performance is scheduled at 8:10 p.m. Thursday, July 5. Performances are set for 8:10 p.m. July 6-7, 10-14, and 17-21. Two matinees are scheduled for 2:10 p.m. Wednesday, July 11 and Sunday, July 15. THE CHIEF "This dazzling, funny and moving play will delight Pittsburgh Steelers' fans...and everyone who loves good stories that are well-told," Ms. Reilly concluded. "The year is 1976 and Art Rooney, Sr., the legendary founder of the Steelers organization, sits in his office, reminiscing. He recalls his colorful upbringing in Pittsburgh's First Ward, his years as a boxer and baseball player, his associations with politicians, gamblers and bootleggers. And, of course, he talks about the Steelers: from the team's humble beginnings through the decades of setbacks and struggles, culminating in the championship-winning Steelers of the 1970s – one of the finest teams the game has ever seen. Along the way he spins a colorful American saga – full of faith, love, laughter and some of the most unforgettable characters you will ever meet. Spend an evening with the Chief and we think you'll agree – there's no better company." A preview performance is scheduled at 8:10 p.m. Thursday, July 26. Performances are at 8:10 p.m. July 27-28, 31, August 1-4, 7-11, and 14-18. Three matinees are scheduled at 2:10 p.m. Sunday, August 5, Wednesday, August 15 and Sunday, August 19. BOX OFFICE OPENS MAY 21 "We are very excited to present this season of great musicals and comedies to our patrons," Ms. Reilly said. "Our attendance continues to grow. We are so grateful to our audience members, old and new, who made that possible. We want to continue our tradition of presenting affordable, quality entertainment close to home." Saint Vincent Summer Theatre patrons are asked to make ticket reservations in advance because seats are reserved at all performances except Thursday evening preview shows, which are general admission.

Special theatre party group rates apply to groups of 20 guests or more. Senior citizens, 62 or older, are eligible for a $2 discount upon request on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings only. Special subscription plans are also available through Saturday, June 30. In addition, student tickets are available for $10 for any seat, any performance. Saint Vincent Summer Theatre performances are all scheduled in the comfortable, air-conditioned Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center on the Saint Vincent College campus.

Citizens Advice has issued 10 tips to avoid the annual Holiday debt hangover as it revealed that an estimated 10 million Britons across England and Wales are faced with recession problems.
Last quarter figure has shown a significant increase in the number of Britons seeking financial advice on mortgages, secured loan arrears and fuel debt. Citizens Advice said the figure was up by 28% and 38% respectively in July and September compared with the same months last year.
The group advice the public to avoid starting the New Year with a debt hangover and go easy on spending during the Holidays.
The top 10 money tips to avoid hangover:
Plan early for Christmas
Plan your spending according to your budget. Prepare a budget to each individual on your Christmas list and stick to it. Be realistic of what you can afford to give. Don't' go overboard.
Don't forget the everyday bills
Although Christmas comes only once a year, the regular bills are around all-year-round, like rent, mortgage, utility bills, food and other expenses. These expenses have to be paid on time unless you want them to pile up. Set your priorities right even though its Christmas.
Don't bank on an overdraft
If you are low on budget and need extra cash, avoid running up an overdraft without consulting your bank. This can be more costly in the end.
Simplify things
More often, it is cheaper to buy with cash, cheque or debit card instead of using your credit cards where you have to pay interest. Use your credit cards only on discounted items wherever possible.
Shop around
It always pay to check as many shopping areas as possible to find the best special offers. Buy only things you want and not what people say you should have. It is not always wise to bank on items with long warranties, most of the times, the cost of repair is less than the cost of the warranty.
Be safe, buy safe
As a rule, it is not wise to buy counterfeit. Do not buy from unauthorized dealers and do not borrow from unauthorized lenders. The savings presented on the onset may have strings attached and just be a false economy.
Read the fine print
Always read the fine print of any credit agreement. Compute the total amount to be paid and ensure you can afford the monthly instalments. Although some credit cards offer interest-free purchases, missing one payment can cost you a lot more.
Manage your own credit balance
If you are looking for a credit card, go for the one with the lowest interest rate. But you have to be intelligent as some cards may charge high interest rates, but they also provide interest free periods or discounts. Calendar in your diary the dates for payments of any purchases made on credit cards.
Organise yourself
Christmas should always be full of happy memories. And this includes remembering paying for the money you borrowed. Keep in mind that paying on time means less interest and missing on payment translates to additional charges.
Plan and save for next Christmas
What better way to plan for next Christmas than the day after the last Christmas? Learn from your mistakes and how to better plan the next Christmas and start saving to make your plan realisable.

I spent many hours at Act, taking the volunteer classes to become a volunteer advocate and have become an expert on all aspects of domestic violence. It has created a great experience of volunteer work that has greatly impacted my well-being and perspectives as a woman who has been there herself and that she can live a happy, fulfilling life with people that do love you head to toe and faults with a side of sadness at times. I am now happily married to the most wonderful man I could not have dreamed of . Never thought that I could get out of the deep dark hole II lived in for so long and with the knowledge that Act gave me, I was able to gain more and more strength to get myself to a good place in my life, and eventually up and out of that cold, sad world I was beaten in to. Thank you for giving me the motivation and hope with all you advocates do. Colleen, if you read this, you are one of the most beautiful people in this world!

As a recent retiree, I have been looking for a place to volunteer that I felt was truly worth my time and energy. After investigating several other options, I came across ACT. From my first contact with the organization, I felt that it was a well-run operation. After attending the mandatory training for volunteers, I was convinced of 2 things: (1) there is a great need in our community for service to women and children (and some men) living in abusive situations; (2) ACT is uniquely poised with experience and personnel to address this need. ACT has many dedicated and loyal volunteers for a reason - it is a great organization!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Although I am new to this geographic area, I have seen how important a women's shelter can be in other parts of the country.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to hire more office help so that the current highly skilled staff could devote more time to working in the community on preventive programs, etc.

The Premature Obituary
By Monte Lazarus firstname.lastname@example.com A week ago I began writing the obituary for my Genuine Imitation Rolex Watch. After four years my Beloved Watch appeared to be on life support. Its arms were limp and running way behind other watches and clocks. No amount of sympathy and cajoling seemed to help. I was ready to pull the plug.

Nero Continues To Fiddle While Rome Burns: Part IV
Suggested Economic Reforms By Roy Eaton In 1975, healthcare expenditures accounted for 8.4% of America's GNP. Thirty-five years later, in 2010, at an average cost of $8,233 per person, healthcare costs were 17.9% of our GNP, nearly 2.5 times that of the remaining developed nations of the world. If action is not taken to drastically reduce this trend, by the year 2020, this percentage could very well approach 25% of the value of all goods and services produced in our country. Spiraling healthcare costs are the concern of every American. They are detrimental to the individual who now has less ... Read More »

Foreign drivers can breathe easy on Marco Island
By Noelle H.

Glenn Miller at Lely

Our stay was nice. Hotels location was perfect. Hotel service could be improved.
Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf, Newport
Great 3 day last minute. Getaway!
Anniversary celebration! How can that go wrong? Only complaint....the beautiful king sized bed was hard as a rock! Other than that it was a great place to stay in beautiful Newport,RI. Location is just off the main drive....walkable to Thames and stores. We were in an easy drive to the Newport playhouse and took in a play. we hadn't planned to eat in but the mini kitchen could have made that possible.

Great location! View was amazing!
Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf, Newport
Small but conveninent
There are two buildings for the Wyndham in this area. I found I was in the small separate tower of condos and had to walk a half block down Washington from Long Wharf in the windy winter cold to get to the main building for the fitness center and pool. Therefore I decided against using the pool as walking back sweaty in the cold was bad enough without being totally soaking wet. However, it's a quiet location and close enough to the main sights in town and to walk to places to dine out. Kind of an odd layout to the suite, with the bed right at the front door, but adequate if you aren't spending all day there. Tiny closet area, but enough bureau drawers. Living room/dining area is cramped. Well stocked kitchenette if you want to make your own meals (but no oven, just a stove top and microwave, plus full size refrigerator and freezer which was nice to have). Incidentally there is a nice little cafe on the wharf across from the main Wyndham complex that is great for breakfast and lunch, Ellie's cafe.

We were there to be away from home for a breather from all the winter stuff and transition into spring....it worked!

Laptop Diaries VI
By DaveLevy on Apr 15, 2005
Despite promising myself that I'd move onto the Linux install, I decided to move onto Windows and the infamous service pack 2. I run Windows Update and get offered some more security updates, so I download, install and reboot. Go back to the Windows Update, I'm offered SP2, I check my available space. 830 Mb - lets go. Windows Update. Download. Fails on space, it nicely writes some massive check point files which it fails to re-use on restart or delete; I can't find where they are so I have lost another 200 Mb. I move some more data files off the system, including trying to delete the newsmonster directory (I've moved off it, its another app. that doesn't clean up after itself), uninstalled Microsoft Office (Yup I'm one of the few left in the company with permission and licence to use these products) and check again. Ha Ha! 1Gb+, surely this is enough. Lets go again. Using Windows update, happily it recognises that the download has been complete and sets of updating the system. It passes the space check and starts to unpack the files. It moves onto what it calls cleaning up and I start to get space warnings. I observed it as low as 83 Mb but it does complete. Leaving me with 93 Mb on my system. This means that SP2 consumed ~1 Gb of disk space. (I don't care how plentiful disk has become, I didn't buy it for someone else to puke over!)
Next I ran my diskhog program and discover.
which had one 500 mb directory, so I deleted the entire contents of this directory, clear out C:\\WUTEMP and delete the Uninstall checkpoints (which in retrospect was a mistake; they ain't that large) in the C:\\WINDOWS directory. I checked the space again and I've got a Gig of space free.
There a couple of niggles about the upgrade. A bunch of file associations have changed, Microsoft seem to think I want their security centre running, they're wrong, but I have a nicely upto date patched Windows XP partition.
