"One's life," Diana has said, "is 70 percent slog and 30 percent fantastic." Everybody knows about the fantastic part—money, jewelry, travel, clothing, glamour. Diana's idea of slog, presumably, is what passes for work in the princess business—getting up early on a rainy day to press the flesh on a royal walkabout, planting yet another tree or making small talk with some visiting dignitary. Indeed, despite the spectacular trappings of her royal existence, Diana's days and nights are a mixture of the marvelous and the mundane, the giddy and the merely exhausting.
Consider a recent public engagement at the Guinness Housing Estate, a low-income project 20 miles west of London. At 10:32 a.m. on an overcast spring morning, Diana's three-car motorcade glides into the courtyard. As the princess alights from her dark blue Ford Sierra, the residents applaud politely while giving voice to a genteel murmuring of "Hello, Diana!" Resplendent in a deep red suit, the princess enters the administration building to meet the estate's directors, emerging just moments after the sun's first appearance. She shakes hands with the gardeners in their coveralls, then works the crowd, accepting flowers from youngsters with apparent delight, as if she's never received a bouquet before. In the reception tent, she takes a cup of tea, turns down a shrimp puff, bids farewell to her hosts, waves to the multitudes, then slides into the Ford for the trip back to Kensington Palace. Total length of visit: 60 minutes, or, as one wag put it, "Not what anybody would call hard work."
Diana accepts four to six engagements a week, each booked several months in advance, each a polished performance. She is a patron or president of 29 British charities, contributions to which soared dramatically when she first lent her name to their various works. Most of Diana's charities reflect her own interests. (She supports the British Lung Association, for example, because her father, the Earl Spencer, suffers from lung disease.)
Though all her appearances have some civic purpose, nearly every one has its lighthearted moments. Once, when Diana was assigned to press a button that would launch a British frigate, she found herself surrounded by so many officers who were eager to help that she pressed the button and pretended to swoon. "Oh, how exhausting!" she sighed. On another occasion she committed the tiniest of faux pas when, having been presented with a silver platter, she impulsively turned it over to study the hallmark.
Despite her eagerness to please, Diana is not notoriously quick on her feet and is sometimes betrayed by incorrect information. Once, visiting a low-income housing project, she was mistakenly informed by the flustered manager that there were 2,000 tenants—not 500, the actual number—in the project's 150 apartments. No one corrected him, and well into the tour, Diana remarked how impressed she was with the project's cleanliness, considering the number of tenants teeming within. Since good patronesses are hard to find, no one had the bad manners to giggle.
By and large, Diana has earned high marks for her enthusiasm in pursuing royal philanthropic tradition. Says author Nicholas Courtney: "She has that great gift of spontaneous conversation—nothing very profound or remarkable, but exactly the right sentiment for whomever." A palace aide once put it far more cruelly: "Only somebody with Diana's lack of intelligence," he complained, "could remain as happy as she does meeting a succession of young and old people who only want to talk about babies, the weather or other inconsequential subjects."
In fairness, though, she is sometimes called upon to do more than prattle. Though Diana finds visiting the terminally ill an ordeal ("She gets terribly upset," says a staffer), she bravely conceals her aversion. When she shook hands, ungloved, with an AIDS patient last year, the publicity helped temper fears of contagion, and she demonstrated a grit for which she is only infrequently credited.
Diana's daily schedule is flexible; some days are crammed with activities, others are relaxed and low-key. On a typical weekday, Diana tends to wake up around 7 a.m.; butler Harold Brown leaves a tray of weak coffee just inside the bedroom she shares with Prince Charles, who rises at about the same time. Gathering her faculties, she usually switches on an all-pop station on her portable radio—though she occasionally breaks the routine with a BBC news program. Then, while Charles scribbles down his dreams in a notebook—a Jungian ritual he believes helps him to know his inner self—Diana slides out of their four-poster bed and into her sweats for a 10-minute drive to the Buckingham Palace pool. Typically, she breast-strokes 20 laps in 20 minutes, a morning rite undertaken for the sake of keeping fit and as a way of relaxing and dealing with stress. (At Highgrove, she has been known to flick off the security cameras and swim her laps in the buff.)
By 8 a.m. the wet-haired Diana rejoins Charles at Kensington Palace for breakfast (more coffee, pink grapefruit, granola, sometimes a boiled egg on toast), served as always by Brown, their affable butler; says Diana: "He is the only person we can stand to see in the morning." William and Harry often eat in the nursery with nanny Ruth Wallace, who then prepares them for school.
On days she plans a public appearance, Diana has her hairdresser Richard Dalton arrive to do her hair before 9 a.m. (returning at 5 p.m. whenever she has an evening engagement). Diana then spends 20 minutes applying her own makeup-moisturizer, foundation, blush, eyeliner and eye pencil by Clinique and mascara by Christian Dior. If it's a workday, she's usually out the door by 10. She prefers to be home by lunchtime and sometimes flings off her princessy pumps the moment she recovers her privacy. Then she slips out of her very proper, British-designer work clothes and into a pair of jeans, although it has been reported that she's been known to put on leather miniskirts, satin pants and Italian silk shirts. If she's in the mood, she'll play tennis at the Vanderbilt Racquet Club, where she's described as an average club player. About once every two weeks, she will join a friend for lunch and gossip at one of her three favorite haunts: plant-filled San Lorenzo on trendy Beauchamp Place, Harvey Nichols' second-floor restaurant in Knightsbridge or the intimate Launceston Place restaurant in Kensington. In restaurants, as at home, Diana keeps things light: a little pasta, a little veggie, a little fruit and mineral water; she generally passes on desserts. Two discreet tables, usually in a corner or near one, are booked a day in advance—one for Di and her friend, the other for a bodyguard who discourages eavesdroppers (see box at right). Diana receives no royal discount, and unless her luncheon partner picks up the tab (Di and her friends take turns paying), the bill is sent to the Waleses' office in St. James's Palace or picked up by her detective with a credit card.
Some lunches are followed by a spot of shopping. Occasionally, Diana detours to Aldgate to watch a rehearsal of the London City Ballet, of which she is an active patron. (Religiously, one afternoon a week, she has her own rigorous 90-minute tap-ballet-jazz workout with an instructor at home. "It is my absolute passion," says Diana. "It's vital to switch off for one or two hours a week.") She has also been known to take a whimsical break from her schedule when the spirit moves her. Not long ago, while shopping with her kid brother, Charles (Viscount Althorp, a contributing reporter on NBC's Today show), she wanted to see where he worked. So the two of them dropped in unannounced at the NBC bureau in London, where nearly everybody was out to lunch. Once back at the palace, she relaxes by playing the piano (everything from Chopin to Elton John) or writing letters to friends. Now and then one of her designers will drop by with sketches and fabric samples.
Teatime, around 4 p.m., always involves her children, often with a few of her friends and their kids. She also uses the occasion to socialize with outsiders. Last fall she invited Bette Davis, who politely declined because she was too tired; on other occasions she has played host to wheelchair-bound Margaret Tebbit, the wife of a Conservative member of Parliament, who was paralyzed in a 1984 IRA bomb explosion.
Whenever she can, Diana tries to be at the palace when the boys get home from school. She will watch TV or play with them until it's time to help Nanny bathe them and put them to bed. If she is spending the evening at home, which is about three nights a week, Diana will read Wills and Harry a bedtime story and then call for lights out at 7:30 p.m. A half-hour later Diana will sit down to dinner with Charles. She once took cooking lessons, but is not inclined to putter in the kitchen. Culinary duties are handled by chef Mervyn Wycherley, 32, purloined from the Queen with Her Majesty's permission. Each Monday he gives Di a printed card of menu choices, and she circles what she wants for the week. Though Diana and Charles are not strict vegetarians, they rarely eat meat. Typical fare in the summer, for example, might include a carrot soup, cheese soufflé or salmon and fresh vegetables imported from Highgrove.
After dinner Charles often works at the desk in his private study and listens to classical music, while Diana catches up with her favorite soaps—Dynasty and EastEnders among them. (She also keeps track of some daytimers, which her staff tapes for her while she's away.) Diana usually retires about 10:30 p.m. with a new book, her taste running from unabashed trash to the middlebrow, from Danielle Steel to Colleen (The Thorn Birds) McCullough. Charles, meanwhile, has been known to doze off at his desk. Otherwise, an hour or so later, he'll quietly join Diana in bed.
In the early days of her marriage, Diana rarely entertained. When he quit in 1984, former butler Alan Fisher complained, "I got bored having absolutely nothing to do." Now, Charles and Diana throw black-tie dinners about once every two weeks for a mix of guests that at one time or another has included New Zealand-born opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who sang at Charles and Di's wedding, Jordan's King Hussein, Charles's cousin the Duke of Gloucester, a Kensington Palace neighbor and close friend, Sir Richard Attenborough and Placido Domingo, one of Charles's favorites, who was once asked to sing for his supper. The lively conversation usually covers politics, the theater, current events and social issues, with Diana chipping in on her family and vacation getaways. Everyone usually goes home by 11 p.m.
Sometimes, if Charles is out of town, or scheduled to attend one of his all-male power dinners ("boys' nights," Diana calls them), she might ring up four or six friends (see box, page 31) and have them over for a casual dinner. They are met by the butler and led to the princess's drawing room, where they are greeted by their royal hostess. They sometimes bring flowers but never wine, and upon arrival, close friends receive kisses on both cheeks from the princess. Then, relieved of the need for formality, they call her Diana for the rest of the evening. At times like these, Di has the freedom to be herself. No longer on display, she needn't rack her brain for the politic thing to say but can pump for gossip and lapse into Sloane Rangerese—a sort of upper-class Val-speak—exclaiming," I don't believe it!" and "Re-e-e-eally!" When exasperated, she has even been known to mutter, "Oh, shit!"
Diana and her pals rarely hit the discos, though about four or five times a year she turns up at Annabel's, a $900-a-year private club in Mayfair, and spends about three hours eating a light supper and dancing. (It was there that Diana took Andrew and Fergie for Charles's 39th birthday celebration last November.) With Charles out of town more frequently these days, she will go to the theater or accept a friend's dinner party invitation, although she dislikes putting them through the maddening security hassles; guest lists wherever she goes must always be checked out in advance by her detectives. And wherever Diana goes, she knows the press is likely to follow. As she was leaving her friend Kate Menzies' house after dinner one night last November, a lurking photographer snapped away as her escort and friend Major Waterhouse playfully pretended to mow her down with his car. Her detective demanded and confiscated the film, while Diana reportedly made an impassioned speech to the photographer about feeling trapped and having few friends left. "It's the first time I've been out all week," she reportedly said. "You don't know how it feels."
More recently, Diana is reported to have been turning up at the Knights-bridge apartment of Anne Beckwith-Smith, her lady-in-waiting, for gossip and girl talk. The Today newspaper quoted Beckwith-Smith as saying Diana "will pop around to watch TV, have a chat and enjoy a snack of whatever I have going—more often than not it's scrambled eggs."
Though Diana's royal existence may cause stirrings of envy, both of her lives-public and private—are more complicated than one might assume. Certainly she must have been on the brink of exhaustion, if not outright delirium, when she confided to two housewives at a charity event, "I can think of nothing better than doing the ironing while watching television." More understandable, perhaps, was her comment to a full-time mother of two, who told the princess she envied her nannies. Said Diana: "I'd change jobs with you anytime."
Diana can't escape occasional evening duties and is often the royal representative, with or without hubby, at film premieres or charity benefits. If she's lucky, she gets to moonlight at a West End musical or at a rock concert for the Prince's Trust, Charles's personal fund that helps aspiring but poor entrepreneurs get a start. If she is unlucky—by her standards, anyway—she is forced to stifle her yawns at a state banquet. In either case, Di, who can be as awestruck as a commoner when mingling with famous types, greets them with a few friendly words. Although she is the ranking celebrity in almost every crowd, she still gets that pinch-me-I'm-dreaming look on her face when meeting the likes of Elton John or Phil Collins.

Tues., Feb. 11, at midnight Old Fort Fire Department responded to a house fire at 123 Forest Circle, Summerville.
Homeowners were not home, and the house was fully involved upon arrival of the first Engine Company.
"Power was being established throughout the neighborhood and we are not sure of this actually contributed to the fire," said Chief Ed Genthert. "We will continue to investigate, the home was a total loss due to the percentage of involvement upon arrival."
The family pet, a cat, perished, Genthert said.

a great (and more than that) illustration yet poor placement! i'd submit this again with a better placement if i were you. i suggest trying to use a real shirt for that, will give you a better feel of the result look and make deciding a placement a lot easier. +1 for the amazing drawing skills
My suggestion would be to center it on the chest and get rid of the floor/wall!

A benefit book sale for the Lawrence Public Library has been canceled by the presence of bedbugs in some donated items.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported that the nonprofit Friends of the Lawrence Public Library announced the cancellation Wednesday.
The fall book sale had been scheduled for later this month at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. But a donor called the group last week to say his donated books contained bedbugs, which an inspection confirmed.
Mary Burchill, who chairs the Friends group, said she appreciates the donor's candor in reporting the infestation. For now, a large portion of the collected for the sale is quarantined for treatment.
No further donations are being accepted for now.

The Lifetime network confirmed Coleman's departure from the project by posting on Twitter on Sunday, announcing, "Production is currently on hold."
Coleman, 17, told reporters at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday that she felt uneasy about the production.
"I felt like something with the production [wasn't] all the way there, the project wasn't all the way there," she said. "If I'm going to do something for someone I care about so much, I have to do it the right way."
"I just felt that because I love her, and because I respected her so much as an artist, I don't want to do anything that's half or anything that's less for her," Coleman said.
After the biopic was announced, Aaliyah's family was reportedly against it.
Coleman says she is still open to playing Aaliyah in the future.
"By all means, when the right project comes along, and it's done the right way, I'll be the first person ready to play Aaliyah. But, this wasn't the right one for me," she told MTV News.
The film was originally set to premiere this fall.

EPO examiners take the streets in Brussels asking to "Save the EPO"
,----[ Quote ]
| On Thursday, 18 September 2008, staff members of the European Patent Office
| (EPO) demonstrated in Brussels for a reform of its supervisory board.
| Examiners are complaining about the broken governance of the Institution.
| Examiners do not trust neither members of the Administrative Council, neither
| their President Brimelow. A patent examiner confessed that most of them were
| against software patents but as civil servants they were not allowed to speak
| out publicly about their concerns.
Strikes and Demonstrations of EPO Staff
,----[ Quote ]
| The EPO staff are trying to make their voice heard by a series of actions
| against the undermining of the European Patent Organisation by its governing
| body and management (see below). In particular, on September 18th, a strike
| of EPO staff was observed by the vast majority at all four sites of
| employment, over 250 of whom travelled to Brussels to take part in a
| demonstration. The demonstration route went from Square Frère Orban to the
| Berlaymont, the seat of the European Commission. On the way, a petition was
| delivered at the German and British embassies (and subsequently also to the
| French embassy). At the Berlaymont, the seat of European Commission, speeches
| were held by the SUEPO chairmen as well as by Sylvie Jacobs, Vice-President
| of USF. On September 19th, a SUEPO delegation has further been invited to
| discuss their concerns with the European Commission.

European Patent Office staff to demonstrate for reforms
,----[ Quote ]
| The international Staff Union of the European Patent Office (SUEPO) has
| called on the staff of the office to strike on Thursday 18th of September,
| and to demonstrate in Brussels for a reform of its supervisory board. The
| strike and demonstration are timed to coincide with meeting in the Belgian
| capital of the executive of the patent office, under its president Alison
| Brimelow, to seek approaches to a "strategic renovation". The employee
| representatives expect around 300 staff members from the patent offices in
| Munich, Berlin, The Hague and Vienna to attend the protest rally.
EPO examiners do not trust Brimelow for her quality reforms
,----[ Quote ]
| According to an EPO internal staff survey of June 2008, only 9% of the EPO
| examiners believes that "Brimelow and the Vice-Presidents actively promote
| patent quality". Brimelow is progressing, since Alain Pompidou, the former
| President, had a trust of only 7%.
Intellectual Property Regime Stifles Science and Innovation, Nobel Laureates
,----[ Quote ]
| Patent monopolies are believed to drive innovation but they actually impede
| the pace of science and innovation, Stiglitz said. The current "patent
| thicket," in which anyone who writes a successful software programme is sued
| for alleged patent infringement, highlights the current IP system's failure
| to encourage innovation, he said.
| Another problem is that the social returns from innovation do not accord with
| the private returns associated with the patent system, Stiglitz said. The
| marginal benefit from innovation is that an idea may become available sooner
| than it might have. But the person who secures the patent on it wins a
| long-term monopoly, creating a gap between private and social returns.

Comments about Beau-coup Classic Monogrammed Unity Candle:
An item we somehow overlooked, the unity candle for our July 2009 wedding! We quickly checked Beau-coups web site for something clean and modern and found the perfect candle. We had our initials added to it for a personal feel. The candle was great, it didn't drip down onto our hands while using it at the altar, and we were able to keep them to use and light on our 1 year anniversary since they were slow burning. Most importantly, our photographer was impressed with how easy the candles came out of the holder. This was important since the photographer didn't want us struggling with candles in front of eveyone during the service. Overally, very impressed, we now have the candles displayed on a shelf in our living room. They were very nice burned evenly and slowly so we can continue to enjoy them today.

Fur And . . .Natalie
One of my most favorite trends this season has got to be all the faux fur items, especially in vest or eternity scarf form.

The Locker Room Issues Can They Beat Giants
Top Play On 3-0 Best Bets Club Sunday
By Kelso SturgeonFootball teams have no control over injuries that can alter an entire season but they certainly can control what happens in the locker-room where back-biting, back-stabbing and criticism of fellow teammates creates a dark cloud of doom that compromises a team's chances of winning. Coaches are helpless to control injuries but they are 100% responsible for the latter.That puts Washington Redskins third-year coach Jay Gruden front and center as his team takes on the New York Giants today. Gruden led Washington to the NFC East title last seasons and stands 13-22 as a head coach. I have always given Gruden and unfavorable rating because of how he openly favors some players and buries the one's he can't stand, i.e. former Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Wanting to kick off a hectic stretch in positive fashion, the Harrisburg City Islanders pieced together two solid halves en route to a 2-0 victory over New Hampshire in USL Second Division action Saturday night before 1,422 at Skyline Sports Complex.
Moffat Oduor and Brian Ombiji pocketed goals for the City Islanders (5-1-4, 19 points), who strengthened their grip on fourth place in the 10-team USL Second Division. Harrisburg also won for the second straight game while extending its league unbeaten string to four.
Matt Nelson needed to make just one save in goal to preserve his fifth shutout, but the City Islanders' goalkeeper did get some late help from lunging center back Nate Baker to wrap up the whitewash. Baker nodded away a New Hampshire shot that was ticketed for the inside of the left post with about 12 minutes remaining.
By the way, Nelson's shutout was his fifth of the season, matching the record set by Dave Kern just two seasons ago. Oduor's goal was his third in league play, the most the powerful Kenyan has posted in his four seasons in Harrisburg.
Counting the City Islanders' 4-0 victory over Aegean Hawks F.C. in the opening round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Oduor has scored in three straight games.
Terrific early, Oduor punched the City Islanders in front in the 27th minute by sticking a shot between New Hampshire goalkeeper Brian Levey (3 saves) and the left post. Only moments before, Oduor pivoted around a Phantoms defender and steamed down the end line -- after fielding a Ryan Pierce throw in the left corner.
With two City Islanders in position to finish and Levey thinking pass, Oduor decided to shoot instead. His score was the first before the halftime break for a City Islanders player since Harrisburg's 4-3 victory over Charlotte -- on May 5.
Ombiji made it 2-0 in the 60th minute, beating the lumbering Levey to a Mike Lookingland through ball a stride or two inside the penalty area. Once he touched the ball wide and out of traffic, Ombiji found an open net waiting for his easy 12-yard finish.
Ironically, Oduor and Ombiji grew up in the same Kenyan (Eldoret) city.
Saturday night's game also marked the Harrisburg debut of striker Marty Johnston, who came on in the 60th minute for David Schofield. Johnston, who was loaned to the City Islanders by USL First Division power Vancouver, added instant energy and generated a couple of scoring opportunities with service and/or his own shot.
Harrisburg also played without Chris Morman (knee) and Tim Velten (knee), who were replaced in the starting lineup, respectively, by Brian Devlin and Baker. Neither player is likely to go on Tuesday, when the City Islanders visit the Premier Development League's Ocean City (N.J.) Barons for a second-round scrap in the U.S. Open Cup.
The City Islanders also will entertain Vancouver on Wednesday night at Skyline in an exhibition that marks the return to central Pennsylvania of former Hershey Wildcats coach and Harrisburg Heat captain Bob Lilley. Lilley coaches the Whitecaps, who captured the USL First Division's title a season ago. Other familiar faces who toil for Vancouver include former Wildcats Steve Klein and Eduardo Sebrango. Klein also toiled for the indoor Heat.

CINCINNATI - The call was placed by Rich Dubee and answered in right field by Mick Billmeyer. "Phil, you got it," said Billmeyer, the Phillies bullpen coach.
Phillippe Aumont, 23 years old and a veteran of three major-league innings, was shocked. The ninth inning of a Phillies' 4-2 victory belonged to Jonathan Papelbon, he figured. But Papelbon had pitched in four of the last six days and warmed up on the other two. He needed rest and it was Aumont's chance to close.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: BOS 99-076
Friday, April 30, 1999
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
"Don't wait for us to come to you," says Regional OSHA Head
Between 1995 and 1998, 68 New Englanders fell to their deaths while on the job.
Twenty-two of those fatalities occurred in 1998 alone.
And at least five more New England workers have died in similar accidents since the first of this year.
"Those numbers - and the losses and hardships to families they represent - are unacceptable," said Ruth McCully, New England Regional Administrator for the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). "Nearly all of these falls could have been prevented if employers had taken effective steps to protect workers against fall hazards."
In an effort to curb this leading cause of the on-the-job deaths, OSHA has launched a region-wide education and enforcement program intended to reduce such accidents by increasing employer and worker awareness about potentially fatal fall hazards in their workplaces and the means by which they can prevent and eliminate them.
"In New England, fatal falls have not decreased over the past four years and have, in fact, risen, from thirteen in 1995 to twenty-two in 1998," said McCully. "That disturbing trend, combined with a construction boom in the region, a growing awareness of fall hazards in general industry, and OSHA's overall strategic goal of reducing such fatalities by 15-percent or more, compel us to undertake this program now."
A variety of workers can be exposed to falls in the course of their workday, including those engaged in construction, steel erection, roofing, painting, sandblasting, carpentry, electrical work, landscaping and tree-trimming, cable television installation and other jobs requiring employees to work on elevated platforms, scaffolding, ladders, bridges, open-sided floors, roofs and aerial lifts.
The program will focus on identifying and addressing fall hazards both in construction, where falls are the leading cause of death and most often occur from roofs or roof openings, scaffolds, staging and ladders, and in general industry (including manufacturing, services, wholesale and retail trade), where falls often happen while workers are performing maintenance or other non-routine tasks on open-sided floors, elevated work platforms and aerial lifts.
Its four major components will combine outreach efforts, compliance assistance during OSHA inspections, an increased emphasis on identifying and addressing fall hazards during general industry inspections and an enforcement component that will include targeted inspections of worksites where fall hazards are observed.
"While traveling in the normal course of their duties, OSHA compliance officers will keep an eye out for employees working more than ten feet above the next lower level without apparent fall protection," said McCully. "If hazards are observed, an inspection can be opened on the spot. If violations are found, appropriate citations and fines will result."
The focus on fall hazards in general industry, in addition to construction, is a unique aspect of the program. Since many general industry fall exposures occur during non-routine tasks, they may often be overlooked. As part of the program, OSHA inspectors conducting targeted inspections in general industry workplaces will review injury records and conduct interviews to determine if fall exposures exist and if so, whether employers are supplying workers with appropriate personal protective equipment.
"But intensive enforcement activity alone won't get the job done," said McCully. "Changing workplace culture to increase employer and worker awareness of, and commitment to, safety is just as important. That's why education and outreach are key components of this effort.
"That's also why we're starting by having our area offices seek out as many stakeholders as possible to inform them, through seminars and other venues, about the necessity, importance and means of effective fall protection," she said. "In addition, at workplaces where fall exposures are identified, OSHA inspectors will provide employers and worker representatives with a comprehensive package of informational materials about fall hazards and safeguards."
McCully noted that her agency particularly wants to reach smaller employers, those with ten or fewer employees, who may not necessarily be cognizant of all fall protection requirements:
"We encourage them to contact OSHA or the free safety consultation services offered by each state to learn more about fall protection and to do so before OSHA arrives at their workplaces to conduct an inspection because of an accident, a complaint or a hazardous condition observed while passing by," she said. "In a sense, we're saying 'Don't wait for OSHA to come to you.'. There are numerous resources available and we encourage employers to utilize them. Because at the end of the day, the most important thing for employer and employee alike is for a worker to simply be able to go home in one piece."
McCully urged employers, employee groups, professional organizations and other parties interested in sponsoring or attending a fall protection seminar to contact their nearest OSHA area office for details.
The fall protection emphasis program began April 1, 1999 and will continue for at least three years; the enforcement phase will begin on June 1 of this year.

Missed chances sting plenty all on their own. When the missed chance involves the vanquishing team using your own game plan against you, well that just lingers a little longer.
LSU took another lump Wednesday, falling to South Carolina 82-73 in overtime at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. And the Gamecocks took a few pages out of the Tigers' pre-game playbook to notch their first league win of the season, while also avoiding some of the pitfalls that had tormented them.
In particular, Carolina (11-5, 1-2) limited turnovers (15), didn't foul nearly as much as it had all season (16), got to the line a ton (27 of 38) and played solid enough defense - especially in a zone - to keep LSU (9-5, 0-3) from shooting the ball well.
After coming in allowing opponents to shoot 23 free throws a game, the Gamecocks sent the Tigers to the stripe only 16 times, where they knocked down an uncharacteristically efficient 13. LSU never got to the bonus in 25 minutes of the second half because Carolina was ticketed for only five fouls after halftime.
And the turnovers? While the Gamecocks protected the ball, the Tigers coughed it up 22 times. USC was dead last in the SEC in turnover margin at -3.5 when the game began.
"They turned us over 22 times, only had 15 turnovers as a team, and knocked down necessary free throws at the free-throw line to put them in a situation to get a victory," LSU coach Johnny Jones said.
"I think they shot 38 free throws (Wednesday), meaning they were aggressively attacking the basket. We didn't do a great enough job of defending and making them play over the top of us."
In other words, South Carolina did what Jones wanted his team to do.
"I thought they played exactly how we possibly needed to play," he said.
Another wrinkle with unsavory results for the Tigers was breakdowns on defense, despite taking a key component away from the Gamecocks.
Carolina connected on only 2 3-pointers in 14 attempts. Instead of bombing away, the Gamecocks attacked off the dribble and leaned on undersized forwards Michael Carrera and Lakeem Jackson to either score inside or hit mid-range jump shots.
Those two combined to knock down 12 of 16 floor shots, none from farther than 10-12 feet away and most set up by guards Bruce Ellington, Eric Smith and Brenton Williams finding soft spots against the LSU defense on drives.
"Some of the people who were getting beat off the dribble, I was a little surprised because we've done a better job of containing the basketball and making them play over the top of us," Jones said. "Some of our better defenders got beat off the dribble (Wednesday), and they were getting the ball to the rim and we were fouling."They were patient in their half-court settings, and we weren't aggressive enough to push them off their spots or push them out of their comfort zones. I thought that they were comfortable running their offense late and getting the looks that they wanted."
The end result was a second opportunity for a win missed in three SEC games.
Instead of being 2-1 and taking some confidence to Georgia on Saturday, the Tigers are on the cusp of desperation.
"We've just got to keep fighting," senior guard Charles Carmouche said.
"I've got to get better as an individual we've got to get better as a team."
- Anthony Hickey matched a career-best with 4 3-pointers made, but also struggled with a season-worst 5 turnovers.
- LSU got back to 15 assists for the 12th time in 14 games, led by 5 from Carmouche and 4 each from Hickey and Malik Morgan - his season-best.
- In the silver lining department, the Tigers' 81.3% performance (13 of 16) at the free-throw line was an abrupt about-face from them going 4-of-10 in the first two SEC games. Andre Del Piero was busiest, hitting 5-of-7 and Carmouche was 4-of-4 to raise his team-best percentage to 75% (39 of 52).
- Foul trouble caused Johnny O'Bryant to play only 23 of 45 minutes, but he seemed to be pain free when he was on the floor. He finished with 9 points and 6 rebounds before fouling out in overtime, the third time this season he's exited due to fouls.

Darwin gym boss tells client her shorts belong in strip club
- From: NT News
- January 06, 2014
A DARWIN gym boss has told a client she belongs in a strip club and needs to wear longer shorts if she wants to work out at his gym again.
Physiotherapist Maja Lukic, 25, said she was wearing a pair of Puma gym shorts and a tank top when she was stopped by a manager mid-workout and told her outfit was unacceptable at Snap Fitness Yarrawonga last Thursday.
Snap Fitness Yarrawonga owner Griff Davies told the NT News that Ms Lukic's gym shorts belonged in a strip club.
"If (Ms Lukic) wants to dress in that length of shorts and show her private parts, that's her business, she can take it down to Sinsations and Honeypot,'' Mr Davies said.
"You've got to be a little bit flexible and smart about it.''
Mr Davies said there was a simple way to determine if an item of clothing was too short to wear in his gym.
"When someone stands up to reach up and grab the pull down machine and shows their private parts, it's too short,'' he said.
Mr Davies said the Club's dress code also meant clients could not wear crop tops or expose their torsos.
"Some idiots try coming in wearing no shirts even after they've been told to cover up,'' Mr Davies said.
"Our gym has 16-60 year olds and we have a duty to protect their interests as well.''
Ms Lukic said she was initially approached by a female manager who told her there had been "lots of complaints'' from other clients and "higher managers'' about her shorts.
"She said they were offensive and too short and that they had a five-star policy to uphold,'' Ms Lukic said.
"I just laughed and said 'that's a first', I've worn these shorts at gyms in Sydney, Brisbane and Darwin and never had a problem, they're just normal gym shorts.''
Ms Lukic said there were other clients in the gym wearing shorts the same length as hers.
"Some of them were baggier, but I was just wearing what I was comfortable in,'' Ms Lukic said.
"I go to work out, not to get attention, but to feel good about myself.
"I'm the type to laugh about what happened but a lot of my friends said they would have cried if they were in my situation, I'll probably go back in my shorts again.''

Reading some of the comments is enlightening. Describing genitalia as 'showing her meat', and other childish terms shows just how immature some people are. Grow up. She isn't flashing her genitals at anyone. The shorts are a snug fit around the legs, so there is no way she is exposing herself. Mr. Davies was out of line with his comments about her needing to go to a strip club for wearing gym shorts.

WOW! Just WOW!
Carrie Dee of Qld Posted at 9:02 AM January 06, 2014
Good on the gym owner for having the courage to confront this issue. Just because Lorna Jane makes them and calls them gym shorts, doesn't mean that they are suitable for wearing in a gym. If her private parts are showing, she needs to stop being an exhibitionist. Why does she need to show off her body? I personally do not find her overly muscle bound body attractive and private parts should be kept private.

Long days at the yard
May 22, 2014 - Zach Baker
A few minutes after Al Alburquerque was called for a balk that forced in Asdrubal Cabrera and gave the Indians a win over the Tigers, I got a text from my brother.
He was at Progressive Field Thursday, enduring all 13 innings of the spring afternoon's contest. He told me he was being "rewarded" for staying the whole game.
Thirteen innings? More than five hours? Yeah, great.
Where was this attitude 19 years ago?
It was my brother who, at the tender age of 13, didn't put up a fuss -- as I had been known to do -- when my parents suggested we call it a day when the Tribe and Twins went to the 15th inning on May 7, 1995.
That game ended up going 17 innings, but we left before the end -- and thus, got no reward for being there.
I looked that game up tonight, and found some tidbits from the box score that were -- to me -- interesting.
* The game featured three players who are now in the Hall of Fame: Kirby Puckett, Dave Winfield and Eddie Murray. Jim Thome likely is to join that group in a few years. Omar Vizquel has a shot as well. Some believe Kenny Lofton could make the Hall, but I don't see it.
* The Twins lineup featured Indians past (Alex Cole, who went 3 for 9 at the plate) and future (Marty Cordova, who homered and doubled).
* Thome was 1 for 7 in the game, before being pinch hit for -- with David Bell. Bell was, at the time, one of the Indians top prospects, and in fact would have a decent career, though not in Cleveland. He would, however, help net the Indians Ken Hill in a July trade with the Cardinals. Still, pinch hitting for Jim Thome at all seems ludicrous, though manager Mike Hargrove was for a long time under the impression the world would end if JT faced a lefty.
* It'd be silly to call it a career game for Murray, since he had so many games like this, but he had four hits, two homers, five RBIs.
* The game was the Indians' 10th of the season, and you could tell that Jose Mesa hadn't quite cemented himself as the closer just yet. Hargrove let him throw 3 1/3 innings. He didn't allow a run. Hargrove stopped using Mesa like that soon after, but he later did throw three scoreless innings against the Braves in that year's World Series.
* Personal note: As soon as Kenny Lofton's single drove in Manny Ramirez with the winning run, I began to believe maybe this year would be different. The Indians only were 6-4, but they usually lost games like this. And soon after the Indians began dominating.
Good memories.

A few days ago, I found a walkingstick (also called stick insects) on my screen door. These insects are very common in our area but are seldom seen because they are so perfectly camouflaged. They are long and extremely narrow and look just like twigs, especially since they often sit with their antennae and front legs held together in front in a straight line with their bodies.
Walkingsticks used to be grouped together with grasshoppers and mantises but have now been put into their own insect order, Phasmida, along with the closely related leaf insects. That name comes from the Greek word phasma, meaning a phantom, because they are nearly invisible in trees and bushes. They are very slow-moving, sitting perfectly still for long periods of time, and they feed at night.
Walkingsticks are found worldwide, but the largest ones are found in the tropics. The longest insect in the world is a walkingstick (Phobaeticus chani) from the rainforests of the island of Borneo. It is approximately 22 inches long, if its extended legs are included. The body itself is approximately 14 inches long. Giant stick insects from India and Australia are often sold as pets and do quite well in terrariums.

Submitted photo
This photograph taken at Breakneck Ridge, Beacon, N.Y., shows two Diapheromera femorata mating.
The most common walkingstick in our area, Diapheromera femorata, is about three or four inches long. The giant walkingstick of Texas (Megaphasma dentricus) is the longest insect in the United States at about seven inches. While some tropical species have wings, all of our walkingsticks are wingless except for a species in Florida that has short wings.
Walkingsticks feed on leaves of trees and shrubs. The young, called nymphs, are pale green and look just like small adults. They hatch in May or June and feed on low shrubs. As they get older, they move to trees. Some remain various shades of green, while others turn brown, gray or mottled in the colors of twigs.
Walkingsticks eat the leaves of many hardwood trees, especially black oak, black locust and wild cherry, all very common forest trees in our area, but they do not like maples. They seldom do serious damage around here, but since walkingsticks do not fly, large populations can sometimes build up and defoliate trees in a local area.
Adults mate and lay eggs in fall and die with cold weather. The females just drop their eggs randomly as they walk around in trees. I've heard it said that when there are many walkingsticks in the woods, their falling eggs sound like rain. The very hard, shiny eggs overwinter in leaf litter. In the south, the eggs hatch in spring, but in our area most do not hatch until the second year.
While their camouflage spares walkingsticks from most predators, they also have other ways of defending themselves. They produce some defensive chemicals with bad odors and some that can burn or sting a predator's eyes and mouth. And if they are grabbed by a leg, they can break that leg off and get away. They are among the few insects that can regenerate a lost leg.
Autumn is the best time to find walkingsticks because leaves are dead and falling. With nothing more to eat and their life cycles coming to an end, the insects often wander off trees and onto fences and the sides of buildings where they can be seen.

Softball Suffers Pair of Losses At No. 7 Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. - - The Ball State softball team dropped both ends of a Tuesday night doubleheader at No. 7 Arizona's Hillenbrand Stadium by scores of 16-2 (5 inn) and 12-3 (5 inn).
The Cardinals' (12-4) three runs in the nightcap were the most the seventh-ranked Wildcats (20-1) have giving up in a game this season, with the previous mark being two versus BSU earlier in the day and three other times during the season. Arizona has won 15 of their 21 games this year by run-rule, having only played six seven-inning games this season.
With a two-run home run in the nightcap, Ball State senior slugger Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney) moved into a tie with Oklahoma junior Lauren Chamberlain for the most career home runs among active NCAA Division I players at 62. Gilbert has a MAC-leading six home runs this season, while Chamberlain has posted two so far this year.
Sophomore shortstop Emily Dabkowski (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam) continued her solid play against one of the nation's top pitching staffs, racking up a team-high three hits on the day while also scoring a run.
Gilbert, senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) and sophomore center fielder Briana Evans (Tulsa, Okla./Union) each finished the day with two hits. Bickel blasted a double in each contest, while Evans went 2-for-2 in the second game with a pair of singles.
Sophomore shortstop Selena Reyna (Houston, Texas/South Houston) belted her first home run of the season in the opener and also sparked the Cardinals' sixth double play of the season in the nightcap.
On a rough day for Ball State's pitching staff, sophomore Sammi Cowger (Fenton, Mich./Fenton) turned in an impressive performance in a tough situation, throwing the final three innings of game two and allowing just two hits and three earned runs. Cowger retired all three batters she faced in both the second and fourth innings, and was inches away from getting out of the third inning unscathed on a ball that just cleared the left field wall.
After a busy week in the state of Arizona, which saw Ball State go 5-2 including a win over No. 3 Arizona State, the Cardinals will have a few days to recover before opening its annual spring break trip Tuesday at Jacksonville State (6 pm ET / 5 p.m. CT).
GAME ONE RECAP: No. 7 Arizona 16 – Ball State 2
Ball State got off to an impressive start versus the Wildcats in the top of the first inning, as junior right fielder Loren Cihlar (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) and Dabkowski singled to open the game, while Gilbert drew a walk to load the bases. The Cardinals would go on to score the game's first run when Bickel drew a one-out RBI walk. Unfortunately, a close call at home and a liner to shortstop ended the Ball State threat.
Arizona's offense took control in the bottom of the frame, scoring seven runs on five hits and two Ball State errors to give the hosts a 7-1 edge.
Reyna led off the second inning with a blast into the left-center field bleachers at Hillenbrand Stadium, forcing an Arizona pitching change. Unfortunately, it was the last run the Cardinals would score as new pitcher Estela Pinon held the Cardinals to just two hits the rest of the game.
The Wildcats would score four runs in both the second and third innings, while adding one more in the fourth to give the game its finals score of 16-2.
GAME TWO RECAP: No. 7 Arizona 12 – Ball State 3
Arizona carried over its heavy hitting in the second game, scoring four runs in the first inning and adding five more with no outs in the second frame. Cowger would then enter the circle in relief and retire the first three batters she faced in the bottom of the second.
The Cardinals rallied for three runs in the top of the third, cutting the Wildcats' lead to 9-3. Evans opened the inning with a single through the right side and would go on to steal second. Two batters later, Evans scored Ball State's first run of the game when a Dabkowski shot at the Arizona second baseman was misplayed. Gilbert followed with a two-run blast over the center field wall to cut the Wildcats' lead to six runs.
Unfortunately, Arizona retaliated with a two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the frame on a ball that sailed just out of reach of Gilbert in left field, making the score 12-9.
After a scoreless fourth inning, which saw Cowger retire Arizona in order in the bottom of the inning, the Cardinals threatened again in the fifth as Evans and Cihlar recorded back-to-back singles to open the inning. Unfortunately, the next three Ball State batters were retired, ending the game.

Harvard's Wyss Institute awarded DARPA contract to further develop Soft Exosuit
Date: Sep 11, 2014
In this video, Harvard faculty member Conor Walsh and members of his team explain how the biologically inspired Soft Exosuit is targeted at enhancing the mobility of healthy individuals and restoring the mobility of those with physical disabilities.
BOSTON — The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University announced today that it was awarded a first-phase $2.9 million follow-on contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to further develop a biologically inspired smart suit. The device, the Soft Exosuit, is intended to be worn comfortably under clothing and could enable soldiers to walk longer distances, keep fatigue at bay, and minimize the risk of injury when carrying heavy loads. Alternative versions of the suit could eventually assist those with limited mobility as well.
DARPA's Warrior Web program seeks to develop technologies to prevent and reduce musculoskeletal injuries for military personnel, but the same technologies could also have civilian applications. A reduction in such injuries could reduce long-term healthcare costs and enhance quality of life for wearers of the suit.
This is the first of a potentially two-phase contract, which enables Wyss Institute Core Faculty member Conor Walsh, Ph.D., and his team to build upon their earlier work, also funded by DARPA, demonstrating the proof-of-concept of this radically new approach to wearable robot design and fabrication. Inspired by a deep understanding of the biomechanics of human walking, the Soft Exosuit technology is spawning the development of entirely new forms of functional textiles, flexible power systems, soft sensors, and control strategies that enable intuitive and seamless human-machine interaction.
"While the idea of a wearable robot is not new, our design approach certainly is," said Walsh, who is also an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and founder of the Harvard Biodesign Lab.
The lightweight Soft Exosuit is designed to overcome the challenges of traditional heavier exoskeleton systems, such as power-hungry battery packs and rigid components that can interfere with natural joint movement. It is made of soft, functional textiles woven together into a piece of smart clothing that is pulled on like a pair of pants and intended to be worn under a soldier's regular gear. Through a biologically inspired design, the suit mimics the action of the leg muscles and tendons when a person walks, and provides small but carefully timed assistance at the joints of the leg without restricting the wearer's movement.

In a current prototype, a series of webbing straps positioned around the lower half of the body contain a low-power microprocessor and network of supple strain sensors that act as the "brain" and "nervous system" of the Soft Exosuit, respectively — continuously monitoring various data signals, including the suit tension, the position of the wearer (e.g., walking, running, crouched), and more.
"Over just a couple of short years, Conor and his team will work to fundamentally shift the paradigm of what is possible in wearable robotics," said Wyss Institute Founding Director Don Ingber, M.D., Ph.D. "Their work is a great example of the power of bringing together people from multiple disciplines with focused resources to translate what first seems like a dream into a product that could transform people's lives."
In addition to its military application, the team will collaborate with clinical partners to develop a medical version of the suit that can help stroke patients, for example, who often experience a slow, inefficient gait and could greatly benefit from walking assistance.
Collaborators include Wyss Institute and SEAS faculty member Robert Wood and visiting professor Ken Holt, and Terry Ellis at Boston University's College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Critical to this project's success to date has been a team of Harvard postdoctoral fellows (Alan Asbeck, Stefano de Rossi, Ignacio Galiana, Yigit Menguc) and graduate students (Ye Ding, Jaehyun Bae, Kai Schmidt, Brendan Quinlivan), and staff from the Wyss Institute (Zivthan Dubrovsky, Robert Dyer, Mike Mogenson, Diana Wagner, Kathleen O'Donnell). Boston-based New Balance will also be a key collaborator on this new phase of the project, bringing expertise in textile and apparel innovation.
Under the terms of the contract with DARPA, the Wyss Institute will receive up to $2.9 million for its work on Warrior Web, with full funding contingent on meeting a series of technical milestones.

Reliable, durable, classic. They are what they are.
If you want detachable mags and optics in 7.62x39, get a AK with a side rail and save yourself much effort. BSW
February 24, 2009, 08:09 PM
Now they are good not so cheap fun. Great stock, can get better or worse with add on's.
February 24, 2009, 09:25 PM
Good add-ons: Tech peep sight, fine front post, extended rubber butt pad, murray firing pin, and a kivaari trigger job. My SKS will have all of these soon. Everything else is stock.
February 24, 2009, 09:38 PM
This is total personal opinion, so accept it as such:
Be kind to your Russian SKS.
If you've got great plans for new sights, detachable mags, a "beautiful" synthetic stock, removing the bayonet and grinding off the lug, etc....get one of the cheaper already hacked Chinese ones or whatever. There's lots on the market that have already been screwed around with so you won't do much more damage.
Russians are special. It's a fine rifle -- enjoy it as is.
There...you're richer by my $0.02!
February 24, 2009, 09:41 PM
Russians are collectables. Like others have said, if you don't like it in it's original form you can get a cheap SKS to bubbify.
February 24, 2009, 11:17 PM
IMO get an SKS no matter what county it's from. It's a reliable firearm that needs no extra magazines and will eat any ammo you throw at it. The Russian SKS is the orginal and I'm jealous if you get to have one.
February 24, 2009, 11:26 PM
Most of the SKS's out there are shooters.
Russian's, however, have grown on me lately. I love their wood grain and color. These are the real-deal of SKS's. A Russian should be treated differently; not thrown around, modded, chopped, or painted.
February 24, 2009, 11:29 PM
I had a Tula made SKS and loved it up and until it was stolen by a neighbor. The only downside was that accuracy fell off when it heated up. It sure was durable and reliable. No idea what they sell for now adays. I paid about 200 for mine in 2001. They are/were kind of rare in rural NM and CO.
All the same a Marlin .30-30 is a better buy unless you are planning on repelling borders or something like that.
February 24, 2009, 11:39 PM
SKSs are great plinkers. For plinking, I like my SKS better than my AR or my AK.
February 25, 2009, 02:28 AM
If i had a classic russian SKS I would definitely keep it stock. But, mine is a 1978 norinco 20", and I really dont care if it's modded. The tech peep sight and fine front post, kivaari trigger job, and extended buttpad will make it alot easier to shoot accurately and more comfortably. Therefore, it'll be more fun for me to plink with. Plus, with murray firing pin it will be safer to shoot.

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite will make high spectral resolving power measurements of astrophysical objects in the 905 - 1187Åwavelength region from low-earth orbit. The FUSE science pipeline will turn the complex, two-dimensional astigmatic detector data generated by the instrument into calibrated, one-dimensional spectra. In preparation for this task, we have analyzed data taken during ground characterization of the instrument. An automated spectral line identification program has been used to determine the nonlinear instrument wavelength scale, and raytracing models have been used to develop model point spread functions in order to reduce the spectra to one dimension. Sample spectra taken during ground testing will be presented in both raw and reduced form.
