Swamp stool
01 product description
Product description
Allow yourself a moment of ultimate relaxation. And sink deep into the Swamp. Because the Swamp is a comfortable upholstered fauteuil whose seat and back rest seem to sink away into the depths. Sinking into the Swamp feels like disappearing in a warm embrace, so let yourself go and relax.
The Swamp is the latest of Michiel van der Kley's creations for Artifort. Inviting and extremely comfortable, the Swamp is available in three versions. Swamp R is a one-person chair while Swamp XL is perfect as a snug, seductive loveseat. Swamp P is an amazingly comfortable pouffe that makes an ideal footstool for the Swamp R and XL but can also be used on its own as an extra seat.
The Swamp family is fully upholstered throughout in two contrasting fabrics. And an extra bonus is that the outside fabric does not need to be a furniture fabric, providing even more possibilities. The Swamp's exceptional comfort owes itself to its springing that combines the advantages of spiral springs and foam to achieve the optimum result.

Chelone glabra
|White turtlehead
Secure (NatureServe)
|Scientific classification
|C. glabra
|Binomial name
|Chelone glabra
Chelone glabra (white turtlehead) is a plant. Its classification has in the past been controversial,[1] but as a result of DNA sequence studies, it is now regarded as belonging to family Plantaginaceae (the plantain family).[2]
Chelone glabra is a herbaceous plant found in wetlands and riparian forests [3] of eastern North America with opposite, simple leaves, on stout, upright stems. The flowers are white, borne in late summer and early fall. It has been used as a method of birth control by Abenaki people.[4][unreliable source?]
Its native range extends from Georgia to Newfoundland and Labrador and from Mississippi to Manitoba.[5]
It is the primary plant on which the Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly will lay its eggs (although the butterfly to some extent will use a few other species).[6][7]
C. glabra is also a foodplant for the sawflies Macrophya nigra (Norton) and Tenthredo grandis (Norton) (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), (Stamp, 1984).[8]
A flea beetle in the genus Dibolia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) has also been shown to feed on C. glabra (Wilcox, 1979).[9]
Use as indicator of deer browse in riparian forests[edit]
Chelone glabra is a popular browse plant for deer, although certain other plants such as Eurybia divaricata (white wood aster), Symphyotrichum prenanthoides (crooked-stem aster), and Impatiens capensis (orange jewelweed) are even more preferred by deer. In measuring damage to plants as a way of finding out the level of deer browsing, it is more effective to use a collection of deer browse species rather than just one.[3]

PATTERSON SPRINGS, North Carolina -- A 17-month-old North Carolina girl is expected to recover after being shot by her 3-year-old brother on Thursday morning.
WSOC-TV in Charlotte, N.C. is reporting the boy climbed a dresser to pick up the handgun belonging to their father and accidentally shot his sister in their Patterson Springs, N.C. home.
According to the report, their home was undergoing renovations and that may have been why the gun was lying out in the open.
The children's mother called 911 and drove the young victim to a local hospital, but she was later flown to a children's hospital.
The children's father, Justin Carper, writes a parenting column for a local newspaper. He is also a youth leader at an unnamed church.
It is unknown at this time if any criminal charges will be filed.

Hummingbird Cakebellalimento
Hummingbird cake is an odd name for a cake, but it's incredibly delicious nonetheless. Don't let the list of ingredients fool you– it comes together in a snap and you can even mix this up without a mixer {yes, an old fashioned wooden spoon works like a charm here}, making it an ideal cake for husbands and/or children to make for MOTHER'S DAY coming up THIS SUNDAY ; ) wink wink!
You can make this as a three layer cake or a two layer cake. I've chosen a two layer cake today and decorated with edible flowers for an extra special presentation.
Hummingbird Cake
What you'll need:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs – beaten
1/2 cup vegetable/canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces crushed pineapple – undrained
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup bananas – mashed
Cream Cheese Frosting:
16 ounces cream cheese – room temperature
1 cup unsalted butter – softened
32 ounces powdered sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2. Add: eggs, oil and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
3. Add: pineapple, pecans and bananas. Mix until combined.
4. Evenly distribute mixture between three well-greased 9″ cake pans. Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes OR until it passes the toothpick test. Allow cakes to cool for 5-10 minutes and then remove them from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
5. To make Cream Cheese Frosting: WHILE cake is cooling, into a large mixing bowl add: cream cheese and butter. Mix until smooth. GRADUALLY add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla extract. Stir to combine.

SEASIDE, Florida -- Fifteen years ago, "The Truman Show" showcased the idyllic New Urbanist community of Seaside to millions of movie-goers around the world and put a bright spotlight on the beach town located along Scenic Highway 30A, between Panama City and Destin.
To commemorate the movie, which starred Jim Carrey, Laura Linney and Ed Harris, Seaside is sponsoring a photo scavenger hunt of 15 locations around town that were featured in or related to the movie.
To enter, participants should take photos of themselves (or someone from their party) in the 15 locations listed on the Seaside website. They should email the photos to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Included on the list are the Coleman Pavilion, the Seaside Post Office, the Truman House on Natchez Street, Modica Market and several street signs and other markers left behind from the film.
One winner will be drawn at random from the completed entries at the end of each month through December to receive a framed print of the Coleman Pavilion and a DVD copy of "The Truman Show."

By Elaine Sanchez, BAMC Public AffairsMay 29, 2012
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (May 29, 2012) -- A new accreditation is enabling graduates of the respiratory therapy program here to walk away with an associate's degree and eligibility for national certification.
The Interservice Respiratory Therapy Program, hosted by Fort Sam Houston's Medical Education and Training Campus and Brooke Army Medical Center, is the only respiratory therapy program in the Defense Department sanctioned by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care.
"As an accredited program, we can attract the best and brightest respiratory therapists," said Lt. Col. (Dr.) Pedro Lucero, BAMC's chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine. "And, once program graduates leave the military or return to a civilian job, they have a marketable skill set."
The three-phase program, which encompasses classroom and hands-on training, equips Army and Navy students to work with medical professionals who diagnose and treat patients with breathing and cardiopulmonary diseases.
First, students complete several months of general education courses at Thomas Edison State College, followed by a month of general medical courses. Students then begin 16 weeks of classroom instruction, conducted at METC.
The 16-week phase two -- a stringent, hands-on portion -- takes place in San Antonio Military Medical Center.
Overall, students learn ventilation therapy, pulmonary function testing, infection control, cardiopulmonary drug administration and critical patient care through a mix of lectures, group activities, demonstrations, hands-on instruction and clinical practice.
Graduates walk away with an associate's degree in applied science with an emphasis in respiratory care and eligibility to take the national certified respiratory therapy test, which is a stepping stone for a state license, Lucero explained. Army and Navy students have a more than 96 percent pass rate for the CRT, he added.
This accreditation marks a turning point for military respiratory therapists, he said, particularly for reservists. In the past, he explained, reserve respiratory therapists would graduate from the course and return to their former jobs because, without a credential, they were unable to work in their field. Now, after earning their certification, they can score a job in a hospital or department that offers respiratory services.
This keeps their skills fresh when they're called on to deploy, "and we want the highest quality respiratory therapists deploying," Lucero said.
Additionally, an accreditation will help to draw highly qualified people to the program, the doctor said, noting it's already helped boost students' motivation to succeed.

Native American Pictographs Activity
An ancient form of writing gets new life in an activity designed to help your child read, and write Native American pictographs and better understand what life was like back then.
What You Need:
- List of common Native American pictographs (search online)
- Paper
- Pencil
- Colored pencils
What You Do:
- Explain to your child that a "pictograph" is a picture that represents a word or an idea. Some languages use a pictograph writing system, such as Chinese. Native Americans living in early America used pictographs as their writing system. Some Native Americans still use pictographs today!
- Show your child some common Native American pictographs that you found online.
- Notice that there are symbols for various kinds of weather, people, places, and feelings. Have your child try to write a "sentence" by drawing some pictographs together. For example, he could draw the pictographs for "Summer", "Man", "Happy" to express his love for summertime.
- If more than one child is doing this activity, they could each write some "sentences" and then try to decipher each other's sentences.
- When he's finished writing, your child may want to add color to his pictograph sentences using colored pencils over the penciled drawings.
- Have your child think of a person, place, kind of weather, or emotion that is important in his own life. He could make up some new pictographs for one or several of these words, and sketch them on his paper. If he likes his new pictographs, he can color those also with colored pencils.

The Essential 100, No. 98: Phantasy Star Online
Cover Story: A bold sequel that broke away from series tradition and helped bring consoles online.
hantasy Star Online helped consoles embrace a world where player experiences could be connected over the Internet. To make this pipe dream possible, Sega's Dreamcast shipped with a 56k modem -- a laughable connection speed by today's standards, but one that Sega put through its paces in the early days of internet console gaming. The Japanese company took many opportunities to entice players to try it, offering enough free promotions that it was impossible not to give SegaNet a chance to prove itself.
Each genre in Sega's stable of games got a ticket to this online arena in some form or another. Fans of NFL 2K found an online venue filled with virtual opponents to play football games with. PSO existed to bring action RPG players into the fold, enticing players to loot dungeons cooperatively with their friends over the Internet. Obviously PC gamers had been engaged in this type of activity for much longer, but the console space had never seen anything like it and the results were astounding.
In what could be considered a cruel twist of fate, the minute the Phantasy Star games transitioned to become action RPGs, their emphasis on storytelling and narrative presentation took a back seat to the game's real-time mechanics. Developer Sonic Team created an addicting set of gameplay elements; with a design that was so laser-focused and fun, it made endlessly grinding through the paltry four zones of PSO an entertaining experience. Many disparate design elements coalesced to bring players this incredible game, even though the emphasis on loot became a central focus.
Player customization played an important supporting role for PSO. From the outset, players adjusted rudimentary height, weight, and color parameters and then selected one of three job classes, but the combination of race and job played a central role in the limitations and abilities of a player's avatar. An Android Hunter possessed incredible strength and HP to vanquish foes one at a time, but a Newman Force (PSO's caster class) had to be mindful of their pitiful health, especially if their powerful magic spells didn't completely topple the opposition right away.
And then there were MAGs -- small supporting creatures that evolved and leveled when fed certain items from a player's inventory. This cute floating accessory played a major role by providing additional stats, buffs, and even healing abilities in a pinch. These contributions made raising the right MAG as important as any other tool -- a contribution that made a powerful, high level character even more intimidating on the colorful dungeons of Ragol.
Sonic Team didn't reinvent the online action RPG wheel with PSO as much as refined the concept for a very different type of car, and the results were truly remarkable. PSO brought countless of hours of enjoyment and proved itself as one of SegaNet's premier game titles. It helped establish the viability of connected game experiences on consoles, which became a integral part of video games that has continued to grow to this day.

Awesome game.Posted: Aug 28, 2012 12:00AM PST by weedeater
I didn't play until the Gamecube, and not online until Xbox, but this game was by far my ticket into online rpgs that were more visibly appealing than Diablo/Diablo 2 and other pc games at the time. I paid for a hunter's license as well due to loving it so much.
I miss the original Phantasy StarPosted: Jul 20, 2012 12:00AM PST by Thomas_Happ
Although I'm not sure many people will remember it, there used be an engrossing (for the 1980s) storyline in the single player games. Nei was like a 16-bit predecessor to Aeris. When PSOnline came out I felt the way I'd feel today if Bioware decided to nix the story and make Unreal Tournament clones (knowing, of course, that PS Online surely has more depth to it than that - but it was still like a slap in the face).
I played this game SO much...Posted: Jul 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by ElFenrir
I had gotten this the day of release on my Dreamcast and played the hell out of it. I still remember Amon, my HUmar, my first and main who would remain that way until he was maxed out. I had alts as well; and it was my first sorta step toward the world of MMOs(which I wouldn't really revisit again until WoW.) It was just great. I'm really hoping the second one makes it here.
PSO always got me more than PSU since I liked it's more sparse simplicity rather than tons of NPCs everywhere all the time. I liked it's more 'alienating' experience; sure you had partners sometimes but the fact you got bits of story that you got to piece together I felt made the game much more compelling than the later Universe games. Probably remains one of my top 10 games of all time.
I'll never forget...Posted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by Kokoru
How I went to a good friends house who would literally force his younger brother to level up his PSO character when he was out or at work over Summer break... The best part was that when the younger brother complained "Why do I have to play your character all the time?," my friend responded with "because its the only way you can play my Dreamcast... Plus you love it." His younger brother just said "... yeah you're right!" LOL.
That's how I knew there was something special about this game!
I Miss this GamePosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by kevlar_pso
I had a keyboard for the Dreamcast, GameCube and Xbox. Still have them actually. I still play this from time to time w/my 9 year old son on GC/Wii & regular Xbox. Just waiting on my daughter to get a few years older, then we can play some 3 player offline C-mode!(=^]I wish I could still play this over XBL. I would pay a monthly fee to do so again too.
why?Posted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Dreams_Of_Falling_Teeth
why arent there more games like this? no multiplayer experience now can match what we had then? so weird... how is it that multiplayer games now are missing Lobbies, co-op play, and like in version 2.. a variety of gameplay.. such a great game. made great friends playing this across the world. I LOVE THIS GAME!
LOLPosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Alf_Alfa
I actually still have this game for my Dreamcast. I sunk a hundreds of hours into this game. I made a lot of friends on PSO and wish I could still link up with them and play again 56k and all. Great Game! Thanks for bringing up some great memories.
Favorite GamePosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by KakosEm
of all time. I never understood why I was satisfied with the limited levels, the seemingly monotonous gameplay and light story. But this was, and still is possibly my top favorite game of all time. This is the game I sunk all my summer hours playing with friends when in highschool.
Some of the best memories of my life, especially now that I'm married and my wife and I still play together years after I should have been done with it.
I have never played this gamePosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Final_Flantasy
But everything I here about it makes me think I would have sunk tons of hours into it back in the day.
Good pick.
Better Than DiabloPosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Pacario
Always preferred this over Diablo and Diablo 2, and I didn't even get to play it on-line. I had the Cube version, and simply had to make do playing solo.
And wasn't its music sublime, setting the mood of each area perfectly? It still haunts me.
Still one of my favorites to this day.Posted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by Flowen7
Seabed's music, so so good.
I met my wife on this gamePosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by goneLinkdead
True story, I met my wife playing this game on the Dreamcast. We have been married for 7 years this July.
I almost did toPosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by nsonic79
I found out my future wife use to frequent the same server (Ariel) that I did on the DC version. We met a few years later on a different online network but I'd like to think we were "ships passing in the fog" at that time. Perhaps that's why some people call PSU, PSUHarmony.
Shocked this wasn't higherPosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by sean697
This game single handedly got me to buy the Dreamcast Broadband adapter (And the GameCube one as well) as well as the Dreamcast keyboard. I believe you got 30 days of online play for free with the game purchase but at 10 dollars a month (or was it 8?) it was pretty reasonable. They also offered quite a few downloadable quests and missions to play online as well as holiday themes when playing on holidays. The broadband adapter really came in handy for downloading those. My only regret is I never got to fully play through the sequel as I ran out of time to play it as I changed jobs. My other regret is I never did play any magic or healing classes and only played as ranger classes and a few times as hunter. I also remember this was one of the first games to be plagued by item duplication and cheating as items were stored on the VMU for the first release. Later versions and updates transferred all items to the cloud to prevent cheating which may well be the first instance of thats solution being implemented for an online multiplayer game. While I may try out the new game coming out soon I probably won't have time for it like I did when I was younger. Unfortunately the days of being in you early to mid 20's with all the the free time in the world are gone.
What a vunderful game!!!Posted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by lokey013
Played the crap outta this one as well as the Xbox version....grinded for hundreds of hours just to find that Scythe for my FOmar....oh and that Pyscho Wand <3
Surprisingly made some lasting friends from there...</adore>
was shocked with this gamePosted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by nsonic79
I remember this being a day one release purchase for me. I too was a bit put off with the minimal story compared to past PS games, but there was something addictive about this game that I never got before with other games. Even to this day I'm amazed how much I got out of PSO despite what few randomized levels we got to play, difficulty settings notwithstanding.
I was si into this game I was willing to actually pay for a hunter's license when ver 2.0 came out. Was never big on action RPG's but this game helped me come to appriciate them

Spurs hammer Warriors for 19th straight win
Make that 19 in a row. The San Antonio Spurs move on to Oklahoma City after defeating the Golden State Warriors 111-90. The win comes despite a poor shooting night beyond the arc as the Spurs made just four of their 19 3-point attempts.
Despite that, the Spurs shot 53 percent overall. That means they shot an incredible 63 percent on 2-point shots. That goes to show how good the Spurs ball movement is right now and how bad the Warriors defense is without Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut.
The Warriors started quick, scoring the first four points of the game. Clearly unhappy with the lethargic start, head coach Gregg Popovich called a timeout just a minute in to the game to say something—some of which probably shouldn't be repeated. San Antonio quickly turned the tide, jumping out to a 16-4 lead thanks to some Kawhi Leonard defense and Tim Duncan offense.
With no Bogut, or even David Lee, the Warriors started the game playing small with Draymond Green at power forward. With only Jermaine O'Neal as a deterrent, Duncan had a field day early, scoring 12 of his 15 points in the first quarter.
The Spurs' attempts to pull away were thwarted by their own poor shooting in the second quarter. San Antonio made just one of their seven 3-point attempts. That, combined with 10 second quarter points from Jordan Crawford, made it look like the Warriors could keep it close going in to the half.
However, their lack of size on the interior continued to aide the Spurs. Three offensive rebounds led to the final six points of the half to give the Spurs a 15-point halftime lead.
The second half started with Tony Parker blitzing the Warriors defense at every opportunity. Parker scored or assisted on five of the Spurs' first six baskets in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both woke up from their first half slumber, combining for 11 points in the first six minutes of the half, which allowed to Warriors to pull back within 10.
A Marreesse Speights 6-2 run got the Warriors within seven points. Despite the Speights outburst, the Spurs were again able to show their depth, as the bench ignited a 13-0 run to finish the quarter, putting San Antonio back on top by 20 at the end of third quarter.
That run put the game out of reach, as Duncan and Parker were able to rest the entire fourth quarter and Manu Ginobili was able to sit the final 10 minutes. Jeff Ayres started the period with a huge dunk and another basket. The Warriors, playing on the second night of a back-to-back waved the white flag shortly thereafter. The fourth quarter was mostly mop up duty for both teams as the Spurs cruised.
Next up is a Thursday night matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A win would all but clinch the number one seed in the Western Conference for the Spurs. However, it's the second night of a back-to-back. The Thunder have also had the start of the week off. The Thunder will be without Thabo Sefalosha and Kendrick Perkins for sure, and Russell Westbrook typically hasn't been playing on the first night of back-to-backs. This might be a case where everyone starts, but Pop isn't hesitant to pull the starters if things go sideways. We'll see, he didn't say one way or another after the game.
Streak note: According to NBA.com, Wednesday night's win matched the 2000 Los Angeles Lakers and 2008 Boston Celtics for the sixth longest all time. A win against Oklahoma City would tie San Antonio with the 1971 Milwaukee Bucks. Reminder, they're still 14 games back of the '72 Los Angeles Lakers and wouldn't be able to top the mark before the season ends.

Either way, you would have heard his voice as you started your day. It was as familiar as your favorite uncle's, both deep and impossibly cheerful.
"All right, cupcake. Let's get a move on it this morning!"
The voice, and the warm, witty asides like that one, belonged to longtime local morning-radio host Don Cannon.
Cannon, who was born Dominic Canzano in Yonkers, N.Y., and went on to make an indelible mark in the radio industry, died early yesterday at Lankenau Medical Center after a "courageous battle," his family said. He was 74 and lived in Blue Bell.

Deadline Now: Our Nation's Obesity Crisis
Friday, July 8, 2011
Obesity rates are climbing at alarming numbers in the United States. Besides harming one's health, obesity affects virtually all aspects of our society and economy.
Lucas County Health Commissioner Dr. David Grossman and Stephanie Cihon, leader of ProMedica's obesity prevention initiative and hunger free community project, are Jack Lessenberry's guests this week.
Here are Jack Lessenberry's Final Thoughts for this edition of Deadline Now:
There are some issues people get too worked up about. But I don't think we are worried enough about the obesity epidemic, especially among children. A few years ago, I was doing a project on something that happened in Detroit during World War II.
As I looked at photographs and newsreel footage, it struck me that the people were different somehow, in ways that had nothing to do with their clothing. Suddenly, it struck me.
They were almost all thin. Incidentally, I was considered a fat kid, and didn't grow out of it till I went away to college. But by today's standards, at my worst I would have been fairly unremarkable.
The degree of obesity among children today is something close to horrifying. Last weekend, I ran into a grocery store, and virtually every person in the store was heavily overweight.
Now, if you think that I could stand to drop ten pounds out of my middle, you are right. But I am middle-aged, and I am talking about young people, even pre-teens, who were fifty or seventy or maybe even a hundred pounds overweight.
Our guests tonight know far more about why this has happened than I do. I think that junk food and video games have something to do with it. But I do know we as a society aren't doing nearly enough about it. The fact that soda pop is sold in vending machines in elementary and high schools is outrageous for many reasons. Not only does this promote obesity, it makes no sense from a nutritional or dental standpoint. The recession has had an effect, too.
As George Orwell wrote back in the 1930s, those who aren't well off are less able and have less psychological incentive to prepare nutritious meals. It is possible to misuse statistics.
But you can easily read, online, the federal Centers for Disease Control's detailed figures for the obesity epidemic. There is clear evidence that things have continued to get worse at a frightening rate. If this doesn't change soon, there is ample evidence that obesity could be a far greater threat to our collective health, prosperity and security that al-Qaeda ever could be.

So we're at episode four, in season one of Weeds. What a great little show. I can't believe I haven't seen it until now (cuz, like, ya know, i'm so in the know. and all). After three episodes we are really getting into the rhythm of the show. The dialogue isn't always the best but the scenes ebb and flow really well. The plot devices aren't cliched or very predictable and the character development is good (although I still can't understand why they ditched Silas' girlfriend after episode one).
Every time the opening credits and song come on, my face lights up with glee. All the rows of houses and people who all look the same, great intro. and the theme song matches it beautifully. I had to go and find out all about the theme song, it's called "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds, a sixties folk singer. I love smug little songs like this, breaking down modern america in 100 words or less, written easily 40 years ago and it's still as true today as it was back then. What a great way to start off a good show. The whole thing reminds me of the four years I lived in Valencia, as i went to art school. I'm gonna have to do some research on Malvina.
I guess I'm Floating has the Weeds theme song and several other songs used in the series as mp3 downloads. go check it out.

Americans are deeply divided on many important issues. Too often those differences trigger not just legitimate debate about judgments but ugly assumptions about motives.
Yet our nation still can - and must - rally together in times of crisis. And fresh evidence of such unity was on moving display Tuesday in ceremonies marking the anniversary of a murderous act of mass terror.
On April 15, 2013, two crude bombs exploded about 12 seconds apart near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
The blasts killed three people - Krystle Campbell, 29; Lingzi Lu, 23; and Martin Richard, 8 - and injured more than 260 others. Three days later, after the authorities identified Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev as suspects, those brothers allegedly killed Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, 26. Tarmerlan was then killed in a shootout with law enforcement in Watertown, Mass. Dzhokhar, wounded in that exchange of gunfire, was later taken into custody.
According to the authorities, he identified radical Islamic resentment of the U.S. military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan as the motive for the bombings, while denying any direct connection to terrorist groups. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is scheduled to go on trial in November on 30 federal charges. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.
But this verdict on how a great city responded to a devastating challenge came in long ago:
"Boston Strong."
That's the stirring, healing slogan Boston adopted - and has lived up to - while bouncing back from this barbaric outrage.
Even as smoky confusion reigned amid mass carnage a year and a day ago, ordinary folks performed live-saving deeds of extraordinary bravery. Such courage and dedication has continued over the past year as survivors, some of whom suffered life-altering (and limb-losing) damage, have moved forward with bold resolve rather than surrendering to grief, pity and bitterness.
Vice President Joe Biden rightly hailed that shared sense of can-do fortitude at Tuesday's memorial service when he said:
"We are Boston. We are America. We respond. We endure. We overcome. And we own the finish line."
Marathoners will reach that finish line again next Monday. Appropriately enough, the famous race is annually held on the third Monday in April, which in Massachusetts is celebrated as "Patriots' Day" in honor of the Revolutionary War-starting battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.
As for the twisted goal behind killing the innocents at last year's marathon:
If the aim was to terrorize Bostonians and indeed, all Americans, it failed.
Instead, that vicious crime galvanized a special city - and an inspired nation - to stand together, "Boston Strong," against the vile forces of terror.

Playoffs are here
May 1, 2013 - John Mehno
Better get in here with something on the NHL playoffs.
I'm picking the Penguins to win the first round series in five games. The Islanders have some talent, they play with a lot of energy, and they have a knack for annoying the Penguins. All that said, I think the Penguins' talent and depth take over, with or without Sidney Crosby.
After three straight years of postseason disappointment, I think the Penguins will manage this series well and move on.

Positive pressure is frequently applied to the airway during resuscitation, inhalation therapy, and anesthesia, and plays an important role in aviation medicine. It has long been known that pressure in the airWay affects the circulation,19 but only recently have these effects on the systemic and pulmonary circulation been thoroughly investigated.1-17,20-23,25
For all practical purposes principally three methods are used, namely: continuous positive pressure, intermittent positive pressure, and alternating positive-negative pressure.
Whenever air is forced into the lungs, there is interference with the circulation. The degree varies with the method.1,4,5,7,10, 12-14,25
Continuous positive pressure always results in circulatory depression, and the extent depends on magnitude and duration of the applied pressure. The higher the pressure and the longer it is maintained, the more pronounced the depression (Fig. 1).
With intermittent positive pressure the effect on the circulation varies with the mean airway pressure and the duration of the

The Katana 'Aglarang' (8d4) (+0,+0)
The katana is a long blade with only a small disk for a guard. Its hilt is
long enough for two hands, though it could be used with only one hand, and
is usually wrapped in cloth or leather. The art of forging such swords is
largely unknown in this part of Middle-earth, and such weapons are
typically imported from distant lands.
An utterly perfect, cleanly chiselled sword, with a edge that effortlessly
slices rock and bone, and spells to render the wearer lithe and nimble.
It is combat incarnate.
It can be wielded two-handed. It increases your dexterity, ability to
tunnel and speed by 5. It sustains your dexterity. It cannot be
harmed by acid, cold, lightning or fire.

Among all of the storylines at the District 6 Class AA Tournament, Ty Dively's quest for a title at 138 pounds - the toughest weight in the event - is probably the biggest one.
As we told you in Tuesday's edition, the Claysburg-Kimmel senior hasn't had much luck when he's made the finals. He's a three-time runner-up who just happened to be at Tanner Hough's weight the first two years, and then he lost a 9-8 thriller to Central Cambria's Ben Rager last season.
He's taken some good-natured jabs from some teammates about being a possible four-time runner-up in stride, and he's shrugged that off with a laugh. But, you know he has to be really looking forward to getting that monkey off of his back.
And, it says here in the first edition of my postseason picks, he will.
It certainly won't be easy, though. He's at a weight with two other returning state qualifiers and four other returning Southwest Regional qualifiers, including Penn Cambria's Nick Szala, a returning runner-up, and Bellwood-Antis' Trevor Helsley.
Szala, who has lost two close bouts against Dively this season, figures to have the best shot at beating Dively. Dively beat Szala, 1-0, in the Thomas Subaru Tournament finals.
Szala owns a couple one-point decisions over Helsley and Blairsville's Noah Tarr, whom Szala would likely get in the semis. Helsley will likely have to go through Juniata's returning district runner-up and state qualifier Brandon Rowles in a star-studded quarterfinal bout to get to Dively.
Dively is my choice to be voted the Outstanding Wrestler. I debated between Dively and Richland's 220-pounder John Rizzo, who will likely become the 17th four-time District 6 champion after Tyrone's Ronnie Garbinsky won his fourth last year with a win over Rowles.
Dively, however, isn't the only area wrestler who should be wearing a gold medal around their necks. I'm picking seven area wrestlers to win titles, including Dively's teammates Josh Brown (103) and James Dodson (132). Moshannon Valley's Dylan Ludwig (182) and James Stodart (195), Bellwood-Antis' Jared Woomer (120) and Central Cambria's Ben Rager (126) are also my favorites to win district titles.
Cambria Heights' Ryan Dupas (113), Joe Davis (120) and Ross Inzana (170), Huntingdon's Josh Bafia (152) and Nathan Shope (195), Central Cambria's Tony Risaliti (160) and Mo Valley's Jake Ludwig (220) should make the finals but fall once they get there.
Risaliti's bout with friend Cody Law of Forest Hills should be entertaining, but Law has been able to survive two previous bouts against Risaliti, so the edge goes to the Ranger.
Mount Union is the pick here to win the team title, but C-K will be among a few teams challenging the Trojans for the title. Mount Union, which beat C-K by seven points in its closest match prior to going 0-2 at the PIAA Duals, doesn't look like it will have a champ, but seems to have a little more balance. So give the Trojans the edge.
Should be interesting. Here's a closer look at the picks:
106 POUNDS: Finalists: Justin Patrick, Ligonier Valley vs. Josh Brown, Claysburg-Kimmel. Champion: Brown. Comment: I know Forest Hills' Triston Law beat Brown, 9-8, at the beginning of the year, but I think Brown will avenge the loss in semifinals.
113 POUNDS: Finalists: Joshua Patrick, Ligonier Valley vs. Ryan Dupas, Cambria Heights. Champion: Patrick. Comment: Patrick's been out for awhile, so he better be on his game, especially in semis against Albright and finals against Dupas.
120 POUNDS: Finalists: Joe Davis, Cambria Heights vs. Jared Woomer, Bellwood-Antis. Champion: Woomer. Comment: Woomer will pass big test against Fisch in semis before tangling with Davis in entertaining finals bout.
126 POUNDS: Finalists: Ben Rager, Central Cambria vs. Ryan Wilson, Mount Union. Champion: Rager. Comment: The darkhorse of the bottom bracket could be Heights' Brad Thomas, who wrestled most of the year at 132.
132 POUNDS: Finalists: James Dodson, Claysburg-Kimmel vs. J.P. Hayles, West Branch. Champion: Dodson. Comment: Anybody could come out of that lower bracket.
138 POUNDS: Finalists: Ty Dively, Claysburg-Kimmel vs. Nick Szala, Penn Cambria. Champion: Dively. Comment: Easily the toughest weight class, and what more would you expect with Dively trying to win his first district title in four attempts?
145 POUNDS: Finalists: Richard Brydon, Forest Hills vs. Zach Beitz, Juniata. Champion: Beitz. Comment: Two returning champions going at it, but Beitz is one tough hombre. Tyrone's Weston will get a shot at him in semis.
152 POUNDS: Finalists: Andrew Doak, Blairsville vs. Josh Bafia, Huntingdon. Champion: Doak. Comment: Interesting bottom bracket with C-K's Weyant and PC's Stoy. Bafia has split with Stoy, but Bafia came up big last year.
160 POUNDS: Finalists: Cody Law, Forest Hills vs. Tony Risaliti, Central Cambria. Champion: Law. Comment: Central's Knisely and MV's Martin will battle it out in quarters for a shot with Law in semis.
170 POUNDS: Finalists: Ross Inzana, Cambria Heights vs. John Blankenship, United. Champion: Blankenship. Comment: Inzana will face huge test from C-K's Ickes in the semifinals, pass it and get a rematch with Blankenship.
182 POUNDS: Finalists: Scott Thompson, Blairsville vs. Dylan Ludwig, Moshannon Valley. Champion: Ludwig. Comment: The coaches battled over the top seeds at this weight, but the points won out. Tyrone's Beckwith and MU's Kyle could reach finals.
195 POUNDS: Finalists: James Stodart, Moshannon Valley vs. Nathan Shope, Huntingdon. Champion: Stodart. Comment: Tempted to go with Heights' Beach as a finalist, especially since Shope moved up to 195, but Shope beat him, 4-2, earlier in the season.
220 POUNDS: Finalists: John Rizzo, Richland vs. Jake Ludwig, Moshannon Valley. Champion: Rizzo. Comment: The wildcard in the bottom bracket is PC's McLendon, who wrestled most of the season at 285, but Ludwig will make finals.
285 POUNDS: Finalists: Dylan Powell, Juniata vs. Ben Mountain, United. Champion: Powell. Comment: Lot of finals candidates, including C-K's Feathers, who could meet Mountain in semifinals.
OUTSTANDING WRESTLER: Ty Dively, Claysburg-Kimmel.
TEAM CHAMPION: Mount Union. Comment: Team race with C-K, Heights and West Branch will be tight.

How to Appraise an Antique or Collectable

I got the "an collectible" joke, because I figured Jenkins is a moron and Scott is not.
Actually the mistaken use of "an" by otherwise intelligent people bugs the crap out of me. I refuse to say "an historic", because unless you have a (not an) horrendous Cockney accent, the H is not silent. There are some grammarians who would say a hard-H word with three or more syllables is okay to put "an" in front of, but those people are wrong.
Well I got the Jenkins-sounding-fancy joke.
Poor Scott;
Copy/Paste explanation, Copy/Paste explanation, Copy/Paste...
Reminds me of Sara's classic entrance in Brandon Bolt's 'Nobody Scores':
Sara: Heads up mooches! I have acquired a good of ostentation!
Funny, whenever I say "an collectible" I just sound like an moron.
(h/t to Eddie Pepitone)
If you're keeping track...
1st: a few comments on grammar (only ONE of which seems to completely miss the joke)
2nd: redundant comments from Scott on the fairly obvious joke
3rd: one person nails the origin of the joke (scary)
4th: redundant meta-comments
Is "an..." nevermind.
I loved the "an collectible" - Jenkins' pomposity scales new heights.
And Lummox JR - the use of "an" rather than "a" with some nouns/adjectives beginning with "h" is archaic and is a relic of their french origins (and "horrendous" is one of them). It is just that now we sound that first aspirant, making the "n" sound redundant. (Sometimes - in America, for instance, "herbs" are pronounced "erbs". We Limeys say it properly . . . )
I say, looks like someone's been watching "Storage Wars"!
Note from Scott: Correct, that and American Pickers. The two funniest things on those shows are when an expert simply describes the object then says "the right collector might pay ..." and when the Pickers find something on a pile of junk out in the elements, covered with mud, ask about buying it, and are told "I dunno, I'm kinda attached to that."
Jenkins' naivete in saying "an collectable" is *almost* an endearing characteristic. I think, even though he is a bit of a doofus, he would be a fun friend to have.
I guessed the M*A*S*H reference as a possibility when I initially read the comic, but I have to admit that to me anyhow, that M*A*S*H episode always sort of bugged me because I think that TECHNICALLY, "an harmonica" is OK to use because the "h" sound is often very subtle and the more predominant initial sound of that word is the vowel sound of the "a". I strangely sometimes felt sorry for Charles when Hawkeye said the "an harmonica" stick.
Your comics always bring enjoyment!! Thank you!
You do realize than "an harmonica" is grammatically correct, don't you?
I love the appraisal face
See, the problem here is that the comments are moderated and thus don't appear immediately after being submitted. I thought I was being witty when it looked like I was the 5th person to comment, but looking back the day after posting my comment appears quite a lot further down the list, making me look like a doody-head. This is the reason why so many people point out the obvious, and the only solution to the problem is for Scott to sit in front of his computer 24 hours a day instantly monitoring and approving comments.
DUDE! You misspelled 'collectible'!
"Note from Scott: "An collectible is deliberate. Jenkins is trying to sound fancy."
even thought reading "an collectible" felt like I was falling upstairs, I knew you would hear from an grammer nazi or two.
In a unrelated note, I just bought the last copy of "Curse of the Masking Tape Mummy: Basic Instructions" from Amazon.
(If it bothers anyone, you can add Jenkins extra "n" in the sentence above.)
No Quebecois pointing out that Jenkins could be trying for "Une Collectable"? Phhht!
I read "an collectible" and thought "that sounds just like that wayne kerr I work with".
He came back from Spain with a vile pink china horse with a "real nylon horse-hair mane" and showed it off. I will never forget (sadly) him saying: "One day, this will be une collectibilo."
My calculus professor wrote "an positive integer" on the board yesterday and I burst out laughing in the middle of class because I thought of this comic.
This comic is an collectable! Look at an copyright date -- it is an vintage year!
Seriously, I thought you had originally written "an antique" then decided to change antique to collectable and forgot to change an to a. My creative writing students used to do incomplete revisions like that -- I've sometimes done it myself. It's a good comic anyway.
Maybe next time Jenkins wants to sound fancy he could try pidgin French. Viola! Le collectable!
In the meantime I'm going to call everything "an thing" all day today and see what happens....
-Cougar :{)
Funnily enough, Paddy, I was thinking of Eddie Izzard's line about "herb" vs. "erb" when writing about my annoyance with putting the "an" in front of words like "historic".
However, archaic might be putting it a bit mildly; proto-archaic is more like it. I suspect you'd have to go pretty far back to find a time when not pronouncing the H in "historic" was common in most dialects. So "an historic" has been incorrect in written English for a long time now, and in spoken English (when not using a wonky dialect) it's always wrong.
What I appreciate most about this one is the "Pawn Stars" -esque subtext running throughout it. "What can you tell me about my collectible shot glass" is right out of one of those types of shows.
Repeat! 'Collectable' is NOT a word!
Missy here, and I'm going to gently disagree. At least to the extent that the version with an A appears to be a widely-enough accepted variant, that either way can be used as a noun. Now if you want to get together and bash on "alright", I'm game.
Don't worry, Scott, some of us got your "an" joke. :) Heed not the grammar Nazis!
Is the use of "an collectible" a deliberate choice, to make Jenkins sound like he's trying to be fancy?

House Takes Different Stance from Senate on Two Key Factors in Patent Reform
While in number the amendments are small, their influence could be significant.!--h2>
The House of Representatives' version of the patent reform bill contained only a few changes to the measure overwhelmingly approved by the Senate last month. Those few changes, however, jeopardize the bill's chances of being enacted this year and pose significant challenges for life science companies. The America Invents Act was introduced in the House by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) on March 30.
Differences in Inter Partes Review
Like the Senate bill, the House would allow third parties to challenge patents after they have been granted through a new inter partes review. But the House would retain the current "substantial new question of patentability" threshold standard for initiating current inter parte exams and apply it to the new inter parte reviews.
Impact of Lower Standard
The USPTO grants 96% of inter partes re-examination requests, according to a 2008 study by BIO. The report also noted that up until December 2000, which was when the process was implemented, the USPTO had received just 308 inter partes requests but granted more than 1.4 million patents.
Changes to Prior User Rights
Another key difference between the House and Senate is the definition of prior user rights. The Senate version maintains current law, which keeps prior user rights limited only to "business methods."
Consequences to Broader Scope
"Any change that is going to drive them to even more trade secrecy, I think, is a bad thing for them. And I think this House provision will succeed in doing just that," he continued. Moga agreed with BIO's Greenwood that expansion of prior user rights was one of two changes made by the House that, in addition to the inter partes review language, "could set back efforts to pass meaningful patent reform this year."
The Politics Behind America Inventing
Whether that happens will play out over the next few months. But at the very least, the House changes contrast with the consensus-building achieved in crafting S.23, which passed the Senate 95-5. It was a rare recent example of a bill concerning a long-contentious issue winning cross-partisan support.

Clearing up tuition, 'cost of attendance'
March 17, 2013
DEAR EDITOR: In regard to the article ''College costs,'' which appeared on the front page of the Sunday, March 10, 2013, edition of The Tribune, I must make one thing perfectly clear — tuition at......
I knew those numbers were not correct or at best misleading. Come on Trib.

Dean Sines--THANK YOU! The Trib NEVER lets FACTS get in the way of a good "story". These lies did a great disservice to the Warren area.

I agree Kent State Trumbull is a bargain compared to the main campus tuition and kids can live at home far cheaper then on the main campus. Everyone should take advantage of this local economic saving jewel.

BELLEVILLE - On a rainy day when children are unable to go outside to play, you can still have your own family fun inside with these educational activities. The materials needed for these activities can all be found in your own home.
Read Read Read!
It is important to read to children of any age each day, but on a rainy day you can share the joy of reading with your children. It is especially great if the children can read to you. For smaller children, make sure to point out common objects in pictures to increase their vocabulary. You could also take a trip to the local library. This is a free resource in any community.

Water, shaving cream and blue food coloring are used to demonstrate how rain forms in clouds and then falls to the earth.
Make play dough
This play dough takes 10 minutes or less to prepare and the ingredients can be found in your own kitchen.
You will need:
1 cup flour
1 cup water
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Food coloring
In a medium saucepan, combine flour, cream of tartar and salt. Add water and vegetable oil. Turn burner on medium/low heat and stir. If it is a little lumpy that is okay. Keep stirring until it gets a little solid. Once solid-like, add the food coloring right away. Then stir, stir, stir. When the dough starts to gather on the spoon it is done. Place on wax paper to cool, then enjoy.
Rainy day craft bin
Fill a bin with art materials such as glue, glitter, scissors, paint, paper, coloring books, color by numbers, popsicle sticks, googly eyes, feathers or just anything you have around the house. If the bin is only used on rainy days, children will be excited to see it coming. Allow children to be creative and make their own rainy day masterpieces. While the children are being creative, they will also be working on their fine motor skills.
Play board games
Preschool and school-aged children love playing board games. Operation, Mouse Trap, checkers and puzzles are some of their favorites.
Sing songs
This is especially important to do with infants and toddlers. Infants enjoy when having lullabies sung to them. It is really fun to make up songs and finger plays with toddlers. Children love to sing and do not care what you sing about or how well you sing. It is truly fun to make up a song about anything.
Tell a silly story
The adult will start the story and children will finish it with their own silly ending. In addition, you can have the children illustrate their silly story.
Picnic in the living room
Have children help prepare their own lunch, set the table, etc. Children will enjoy helping and eating in a new place.
A rainy day science experiment
This is a great experiment to show where rain actually comes from and is appropriate if it's raining outside. All you will need is a clear cup, shaving cream, and blue food coloring. Fill the glass 2/3 of the way full of water. Cover the top of the water with shaving cream "clouds." Drip the blue food coloring on top of the shaving cream until it begins to fall through. It is important to help make the connection to weather with the children. Be sure to explain that the color is falling through like rain in the clouds, when it gets too heavy it must fall, just as it is happening outside. If you have a book about rain, you can read it before the experiment or after.
