We live in a part of the country where we enjoy four moderate seasons. Summer temperatures climb to about 105 degrees or so, for about a week or two, and then drop back into the 80s and 90s until the cool breezes of autumn arrive. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 34. No matter how moderate the climate, however, there still are chilly winter evenings when we get cold no matter how many sweaters we put on. That means furnace time.
A central heating system can become an expense if not properly maintained. And, worse, an unmaintained system can become dangerous. If you spend $250 or more a month on your heating bill you could be wasting as much as $600 a year – if you have not properly maintained your central heating system. It doesn't make any difference what type of central furnace you have.
Even a simple window-mount heat pump can be damaged beyond repair if not regularly cleaned. The coils can become clogged with dust and debris, and in no time, the system can fail.
Central systems that have heat exchangers can become whole-house gas chambers filling every room with undetectable, poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Please don't begin using your central furnace this winter until you have had your heat exchanger checked by a bona fide heating contractor. While he's there ask him to replace the filters, check the fan belt and oil as needed.
Although we don't recommend that you attempt to check your heat exchanger, we do feel it is safe for you to check the condition and adjustment of your blower-fan drive belt. A worn or frayed fan belt isn't dangerous, but it can increase your electric bill unnecessarily. If the belt isn't tight enough it will allow the drive motor to turn extra revolutions for each rotation of the fan. Each time the drive motor turns without rotating the fan, money is wasted. Be careful though. If the belt adjustment is too tight, it can damage motor and fan bearings, and both are expensive items to repair. A frayed fan belt should be replaced even if the tension adjustment is correct. When the fan belt becomes frayed it soon will split. And, if you have our luck, it will do so after dark on a cold evening when all the stores are closed. It is a good idea to have an extra one on hand. Drive a nail in the wall next to the furnace. Wrap the extra fan belt in an old towel or rag to keep it clean, and hang it on the nail.
System lubrication is a task that just about anyone can perform. Proper lubrication will cause quieter operation and will increase bearing life. Best of all, the free, smooth-running bearing operation that results will reduce stress on the drive motor and will ensure cheaper motor operation. Although there is no such thing as too much lubrication, excess lubricant can be thrown off the bearings and onto the interior of the furnace. And, oil makes for a dust collecting surface.
The burners also are important. They heat the exchanger, which warms the air that is blown through the ducts that is blown out the registers that heat the home.
Therefore, the burners have a great deal to do with the operating efficiency of the system. Make an investigation of the burners to be sure that the flames burn blue. An orange flame indicates that the fuel is not burning clean and hot. Often the burners corrode or rust and the flame ports become clogged resulting in reduced efficiency.
The filters in your furnace are probably made from hemp, fiberglass or nylon and are bound in a cardboard frame. If this is the case, chances are your filters are the disposable type. We purchase ours by the case and replace our filters monthly. There are, in fact, electronic filter units that can be built in to your central furnace system. Although they are expensive, they can be cleaned and will outlast two or three furnace replacements. With these systems maximum filtration is achieved. To properly maintain an electronic system, simply remove the filter drawer, hose it down in the garden, let it dry and slip it back into place.
This type of filter should be cleaned two to four times a year depending on frequency of use and conditions where you live.
In many instances your local public utility will offer free inspection services and make maintenance recommendations.

When Downton Abbey returns, a grieving Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) finds herself uninterested in her son George – or wearing anything that isn't black – despite Anna's (Joanna Froggatt) attempts to cheer her mistress up. Watch the short clip below.
Downton Abbey begins this weekend in the UK – although it won't air on PBS until January.

It's individual. No magic formula. Eat enough to nourish yourself, feel satisfied, and head off cravings (the ones that are for huge amounts of non-nutrient-dense foods). Having excess fat is mostly about hormonal imbalance, metabolic derangement, and/or inflammatory disease - not about CICO. Removing fat is treating just one symptom; the disorder remains and the symptom will come back if you only treat the symptom.
I think Julia Ross' book The Diet Cure is a fantastic overall exploration of health and nutrition.

Home › Health & Behavior › Behavior & Discipline
By Hank Pellissier
Learning to read by "sounding out" letters in words is difficult for many first graders, even if their brain's auditory development is excellent. One reason, notes Jeannine Herron, Ph.D., author of Making Speech Visible, is that memorizing the alphabet is misleading, because letter titles — A, B, C, etc. — don't sound precisely like the sounds they represent. For example, the letter "G" has a "J" sound, "H" is way off-base with its "AAACH" pronunciation, and all the vowels can be utilized with more than one sound. This difficulty delays thousands of struggling readers. To circumvent this, Herron recommends teaching first graders to "pay attention to what their mouth is doing" when they learn phonemes.

"A lot of people are out to make me look like this womanizer," the actor tells PEOPLE in its upcoming issue. "The press has created this bachelor persona, but it's not really me. Hey, I take it as a compliment. It must be the first time in history where a sidekick on a show has this kind of persona offscreen."
So, PEOPLE asks, what is the Gospel According to Wilmer? "I've been sooo single for the past year," says the actor, 25, who is filming the eighth season of the FOX hit That '70s Show (premiering Nov. 2). "Right now, I just love working."
He recently wrapped two movies, has a lead role on the animated series Handy Manny, and is launching a clothing line in February.
"I won't have a day off until Dec. 31," he says.
Still, he says, he plans to find time for a Mrs. Valderrama in the not-too-distant future: "I'm open-minded. I'd love to have kids soon."
And what about those famous dates?
Mandy Moore: "I was with her for almost two years. When it ended, it took me another four years to even give it a shot again. That was tough."
Ashlee Simpson: "We've been friends for about 51⁄2 years. All of a sudden we couldn't be in the same room before people were saying we were making out." They did not, he says; they remain just friends.
Jaime Pressly: "There is no story there. All of us on the show have been friends with Jaime for many, many years. ... Jaime is an amazing girl."

WiiU happens in 2 days. I haven't been this excited since I knew I was getting an N64 for Christmas. OI've only been stalking this new system for only a few weeks now, and I am mostly impressed with what I have seen, even the launch titles have peeked my interest, specifically Scribblenauts and Nintendo Land. However the title(s) I am most excited about come from the original Wii system.
You see despite having an account on a videogames website I'm actually not as big of a gamer as I would like to be. I haven't even owned a system since the Gamecube, and even then it didn't buy one untill 2006. The reason why is two fold. Number 1: I am broke as a joke, and as much as I would love to buy a PS3 and the fancy games with the fancy tv's I can't ever seem to make the money to make that happen. Number 2: Is very similar in that I have never had the time to spend on videogames. Surely I could make time, but this would compromise the other things I love equally like gardening, reading and writing.
Now I have find myself in a place where I can play more games. I am single and have a steady enough job (that doesn't take too much of my time,) and can finally afford a new system, and because I am very passionate about the Zelda series the WiiU is an obvious choice. That brings me to the purpose of this post, why I personally like a system that has only a handful of great games.
It's a tradition that has followed Nintendo systems for the last three generations. As I have said I have owned both the Nintendo Gamecube and a Nintendo 64 and to my own satisfaction I have played those systems for all they could offer. I adored Majora's Mask (but not untill 2005) and was charmed by the first Battalion Wars (in 2010.) By not purchasing the Wii I have missed out on plenty of titles that I find interesting. Looking through the catalouge of Wii titles I have picked out a top five that I will purchase along with my WiiU at a graciously bargained price. It's really exciting!
It is really very nice that I now have the opportunity to play through the Wii library (alongside the inevitably forthcoming WiiU masterpieces) and it makes me look back on the Wii as though it were a huge success. Now I understand that this is an arguable opinion, especially among the more "hardcore ganers," but the 15 or so Wii games that I intend to play are enough to make me feel that way.
If this whole blog post seems really unfocused I apologize and I promise I am making a point here.
You see for me, someone who is only able to play through maybe 5 games a year, the Gamecube was a tremendous system. It may not have had hundreds of must play titles like the Playstation 2, but what it had was wonderful, and perfect for a gamer like me. Now I can't speak for the Wii yet as I haven't played any of the games yet. But if the games are at least as good as the Gamecube then now in the Wii's twilight hours I want to defend the silly white system. It may not have been the machine that the 360 and the PS3 have been, but for the right type of gamer it was something pretty super. I hope history treats it better than it has the 'cube and the N64.
And while these other systems have been perfect for me I do hope that WiiU does better for traditional gamers. I hope that it helps Nintendo back on top. I hope that they make an amazing Zelda game for it, and when the system hits the stores I hope to see you there.
Also if anyone reads this, do you have any Wii games you think I should make sure to play? I would enjoy some suggestions, maybe some hidden gems?

Is Wade Phillips the problem in Dallas?
Jean-Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News writes that Wade Phillips and Jerry Jones have destroyed the team Bill Parcells built.
Parcells had the power to get rid of players, no questions asked. Phillips doesn't, so he'll never have the same level of respect from the players. Why do you think Greg Ellis talked to Jerry Jones about his role in the defense?
He wouldn't have done that with Parcells here because he knew it wouldn't have mattered. Why do you think T.O. regularly shows up late to morning meetings? He knows there's no real consequence.
The players know Phillips doesn't have the ultimate authority, so they don't fear him. That, my friends, leads to a culture of losing.
But the biggest reason the culture Parcells created is gone is that no one is here to reinforce it.
When Parcells left, he took VP of college and pro scouting Jeff Ireland with him. He took Tony Sparano and three core defensive coaches as well. Yes, Jason Garrett is still here, but he's not a Parcells' guy. He's a Norv Turner guy.
That means everyone with ties to Parcells, who respected the previous culture and could maintain the same type of environment is gone.
That's why the environment has changed – and it's not coming back. This team is in the midst of a free fall. Do you have confidence anyone in the organization can stop the plummet?
I didn't think so.
This team has also lost its edge under Wade Phillips.
Funny how just a year ago the media and Cowboy players were lauding Phillips for being such a "player-friendly" coach and how it was so nice not to walk on eggshells with Parcells gone. How quickly the mood changes when a team starts losing.

Newsies and Second Harvest continue winning partnership
The Times Old Newsies volunteers and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern Pennsylvania are again teaming up in an effort to battle hunger this holiday season.
The partnership has become a staple during the busy holiday fundraising push. Today the Newsies volunteers will be canvassing streets and businesses in an effort to provide food baskets for families in need.
For Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania Executive Director Karen Seggi, the partnership has become vital in the food bank's efforts in the Erie community. "We provided 12 million pounds of food to the Erie community last year. This partnership makes sure food is on the table for Christmas," said Seggi, who adds that for every dollar raised by the Newsies, the food bank is able to buy $17 worth of food, the equivalent of seven meals.
Each family will receive food baskets including Smith's hams and hot dogs, canned vegetables, baked items, apple juice and breakfast items.
Second Harvest has also been recognized with a four-star rating by Charity Navigator, a nonprofit watchdog, for the fifth straight year.
According to Seggi, the charity is the only nonprofit in Northwest Pennsylvania that has been recognized for its sound fiscal management.
The charity's accolades also highlight how Second Harvest can stretch the donated dollar into food for the needy. The organization's goal is 2,400 baskets with the Newsies hoping to raise $75,000 in donations.
"Erie is a very generous community. We all want to do something to help our neighbors in need, and this initiative with the Times Old Newsies exemplifies the true holiday spirit of giving. Many families will have a meal to celebrate the season because of the partnership between the Times Old Newsies and the Second Harvest Food Bank," Seggi said.
The Newsies have run their collection drives since 1939, joining the food bank in 2008 with the goal of making the process more efficient. The food bank and its partner pantries handle delivery and keep track of families, ensuring no one is being left out during the holiday season. Seggi appreciates the dedication of the group, noting that many of the Newsies do more than collect money. They are at the food bank warehouse helping organize and pack the baskets for delivery.
"We and our partners appreciate the hard work being done by the Newsies as we work together to alleviate hunger in our area," Seggi added.

these levels. BIDU has been a worthy stock against those of us that are short. However, if you are long, NOW would be an excellent time to get out. You can STILL get OVER 80 a share for this nonsense. That IS a gift people. You will be begging someone a week from now for 80 a share. If you still think this is going to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$100$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ please, as Cramer would say "Stop Trading". Face the high P/E facts: for all intent and purposes, this trade is over; at least until next earnings. Two scenarios here; plummets or sinks slowly until earnings.
yea...welll...currently that makes me long again at $80.60. waiting for big jump up to sell and then ten minutes of flat trading to short again.
Thanks. I like this stock alot.
this stock is easy..every time it shoots up $1.50 in less than ten minutes it is time to short it. once the short is placed then you wait for it to fall $1.50 in less than 12 minutes then you cover. I cant believe i am giving away my surefire way to make money but to me it is so simple, i have to tell somebody...besides no real traders visit this board anyways and we here are all retail traders.
I'm pretty sure SAC bought before the gap-up.If anything, they've been unloading since the 94$ high.2:1 profit in a mere month. Even funds will take notice.
stephen cohen owns 20% of this bad boy. i would not bet against that. bought a tiny position today and will buy the dips from here on. i dont think this stock will break below $75. honestly, i dont even this this will get that low. bidu is cheap if you compare it to what yahoo paid for alibaba. good luck to you
Third scenario. Earnings come. They are great. But reality sets in and the street says the PE is still too high. Gap n crap
this bad boy is going higher. much, much higher

Historical Traveler Reviews Woodloch Pines Resort Hawley
Don't drink the Kool-Aid!
I'm sorry for breaking the string of 5 stars, but ....
Look, this is a very nice place. The people are warm & friendly and there are several organized activities each day... something for everyone. But the cost is simply not worth it.
Going in, we knew it was priced on the high side, even for an all-inclusive resort, but much to my surprise, upon checkout a 15% gratuity was added to the ENTIRE bill. It was an extra $800!... over $100 of tips per day for service that was clearly lacking. This brought the cost per night for a family of four (in what is essentially a large hotel room with two queen beds) to within a fin of $900 per night!!!
At that rate, I would expect 5 star surroundings and service. Instead, the buildings are tired, the carpets are worn and stained... all over. Everything is worn. Don't get me wrong. It didn't have a dirty feel, but it was clearly tired. We're talking Hampton Inn quality, but with more spacious rooms.
It was all-inclusive and all you could eat, but the food was mediocre at best. I'm sorry to say every dish was wanting. At best, "Joe's Diner" quality food. The wait staff in the dining room left A LOT to be desired. We had a new kid that never served before and simply shouldn't have been there. To be blunt, at almost $900 per night, we shouldn't have to put up with that. His assistants for drinks, bread, etc... all seem to be exchange students from Europe and also had extremely limited experience and skill waiting tables. If not for the company with us, meals would have been an ordeal.
If you can get past the fact that this place is WAY OVER PRICED for what they offer and where they offer it, this is a great little getaway in the Poconos. Kids LOVE this place. On the other hand, you'll be left scratching your head at why all these apparently intelligent adults around you think this is the best place on earth.
I have a theory. It seems most of them have been going there since childhood and usually go the same weeks each year. This creates a community and a sense of belonging. The place even has a rewards night that reinforces this. Huge trophies were given to people that essentially just showed up for 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25 years, etc... The awards for actually accomplishing anything during the competitions were simple medals. These people aren't just enjoying the moment, they're reliving their childhood and all the moments they've had here since. If you're not part of that community and shared experience, you're left scratching your head. If your ARE part of it, you gladly drink the Kool-Aid, open your wallet , pour out the contents and get your needed fix of Woodloch family belonging.
Woodloch Pines has done an excellent job of creating a brand and brand loyalty with their long time customers, but they've priced themselves like a 5+ star premium resort when they are clearly not. Anyone not part of their cultivated community consciencness, would be better off taking that same money, flying to a true 5 star resort & Spa, enjoy local sites & activities and fine dining. They'll come home with change still in their pockets. $900 per day still buys a lot... even with today's prices.
I live on Long Island. The next time I have an urge to do something like this, I'll take my wife and kids somewhere in Europe for the week and give them some culture.... and save money in the process. ;-)
Amazing... Like Always!
Woodloch really is amazing, you are looking for a resort in the poconos the only choice is Wooldoch... it is a hidden gem... with no outside advertising its like an exsculsive club that only a select few know about. I have been going for 13 years and you never are bored. There are activities for everyone. We travel with a large group every year and we have someone from nearly every age group...
the youngest is 5 and the oldest could be upwards of 65. My family along with two others have been going for the same week in June every year... even though more attractions have been added each year and staff memebers come and go the quality is the same every time... Amazing.
So don't miss out on a chance to go to woodloch... it really is amazing...
Also all the novices to woodloch... while playing bingo please try to keep the tradition alive and scream CHIKEN LEGS when B-11 is called!
Not just a vacation.......
Visited Woodloch Pines for the first time 6/12-6/16. Woodloch is not just a vacation as much as it is an experience. Family and friends thought that I was a bit crazy to plan a vacation 800 miles away in PA to an all inclusive resort and town that none of them had ever heard of. The family (myself, wife and six year old) spent the week in a Timbeline unit (Classic standard level room). The unit had a homey lodge feel to it and provided plenty of room for the three of us and provided a central location which made access to all areas of the resort a quick walk. The level of hospitality at Woodloch Pines is at a level that I have never experienced. From reception upon check-in to reception upon check-out we were continually greeted with a smile and hello by all staffers that we encountered. This hospitality seemed to be infectious as it carried over to virtually all of the guests that we encountered as well. From the moment you arrive there are a multitude of activities for all ages to enjoy. Visit the Edge portion of their website to view the daily activities list. Whether 6 or 60 you will never be bored here. The nature of the resort reinforces the connection of family, and participating in activities as a family. Countless numbers of medals are presented throughout the week for various games and contests and soon become the prized possessions of all. The social staff does an excellent job of creating activities for all ages and levels to enjoy. Meals are bountiful and of high quality with an excellent wait staff. Evenings were filled with a variety of shows and activities that kept us all entertained. Midway through the week my 6 year old asked when we were coming back. Needless to say, we have already re-booked for next June.
A great retreat
First time guest on Memorial Weekend 2006. This is a great family vacation resort. There are more activities than you could ever ask for, the service is amazing and the food was very good. I would highly suggest that any family with children plan a visit (and you will return). The resort is extremely well run and the owners are visible everywhere you turn. The staff are happy to work at the resort and try to fufill your every need. My wife and I brought our 6 year old son, and he cried when we had to check out. I never got this reaction from him at Disneyworld, Atlantis or on the Norweigen Dawn Cruise Ship. We already rebooked the trip for next year. The Woodloch Pines website can fill you in on the layout and activities. Our favorite part was the indoor/outdoor pool, family carnival and olympics, lake and boating activities and nightly shows. The shows were very entertaining for the POCONOS. This place is like a throw back to the good old days when everything was geared to innocent family fun and not commercialized. The food is all you can eat, breakfast, lunch and dinner and the quality is like homemade. Have a great unforgettable time.
We Absolutely LOVE Woodloch
We just returned from our 4 day vacation at Woodloch Pines. This is now our second visit to Woodloch, last year at this same time being our first visit. We thought that maybe last year was so great because it was our first time experiencing everything at Woodloch, and were a bit afraid that we might not enjoy it as much this year. We were WRONG. We just adore this place!! This is what a vacation is all about - and believe me when I tell you... the staff at Woodloch KNOWS how to treat each and every guest.... young, old and anywhere in between. Each and every staff member gives nothing less than 110% and they just can't do enough for you. We never saw as much as a frown on anybody's face at Woodloch Pines, this includes guests as well as staff members. This is a family run business (voted #1 place to work in all of PA. last year and within the top 10 places to work for the past 10 years) and they have taught each and every staff member the key to their success .... GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I probably sound like I work for Woodloch, the way that I'm carrying on about the great service there, but I don't. I spend 361 days a year paying extremely high prices for extremely lousy service and it's nice to go somewhere and be treated as though they really and truly appreciate you.
Last year we stayed in the older (more rustic) rooms and this year we stayed in a suite at the Springbrook Building. We loved the rustic charm of the older room last year and the convenience of being so close to everything was nice as well. But... we also loved the modern suite at Springbrook overlooking the lake. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, as is the entire complex! I am very big on cleanliness and Woodloch has no problem meeting my high standards. The activities and entertainment is wonderful for all ages. There is plenty to do for everyone! My 2 boys are 11 & 16 years old and they love the activities and entertainment as well. The staff does an excellent job putting on shows and entertaining the guests. They also hire performers such as comedians and bands as well. The only suggestion that I could possibly come up with is that having a 16 year old, it would have been nice if they had a program or activity at night time for teens to get acquainted. They probably do this during the summer, I don't know.
If you're looking for a GREAT vacation experience, don't even hesitate to book with Woodloch.....everything is all inclusive and worth every penny!
Heaven hidden the Poconos
We have had the pleasure of going to Woodloch for 18 years and NO, We do not get tired of it . Would you get tired of eating great food, Playing games with a great staff and having FUN. I don't. If you want to do anything. You can do it there. Swimming, GoKarts Waterskiing ,Games ,Contests, Childrens games and yes granny even Bingo ( B-11) Take your kids, Take your parents, Take your neighbors, I did. No Complaints yet. One visit and you will be hooked. Enjoy. See you at Woodloch.
Lovely vacation
We just returned from a 3 night stay and had a wonderful time. Of course, we went the week before winter break so it was not overly crowded. The kids (3 and 4 years old) had a ball riding the snow tubes, riding the kiddie jeeps, go-carts(with an adult) and especially LOVED the newest attraction called the "Woodloch Forest." Essentially it is a whole indoor climbing facility with slides for the kids. The indoor pool was beautiful and everything is very, very clean. The food was very good and the kids loved having the same table at every meal. They even try to seperate the seating so that those of us with young, noisy little ones are in one area, the seniors get a little peace in another area, families with older children etc... It is especially nice to not have to waste vacation time trying to figure out where to eat. The staff is very helpful and always very nice. Every morning at breakfast there is an activity sheet that allows you to plan your day. The kids were never bored. At night all are welcome in the night club. Wednesday is their big show. It was like a Broadway show--my kids were fascinated. I imagine that it is beautiful there in the summer. I know a lot of people from my area that go year after year.
We have already reserved our room for next year.
Our New Favorite Place
I am almost reluctant to leave a review for Woodloch because it is such a fantastic secret in NE Pennsylvania that I would like to keep it that way!! When we booked our reservation last year, Trip Advisor did not have any reviews at all.
Family-run, family oriented! We first found this place on the web after a long search for "something different" that was not beach, not Disney World, etc. What caught my eye was that Woodloch bills itself as a "cruise ship on land" and they are right!!
After driving 5 hours we did arrive with some anxiousness. At first appearance, we worried it might be a bit too "campy" but after being greeted by the first-class staff and getting into our room, we knew we were in for a great week. The food, the many, many activities (almost all included in your rate), the friendliness of the staff...our entire family cannot wait to return!!!
A family friendly resort full of activities
We just returned from our stay at this well kept secret. Only 2 1/2 hrs from our house it was a family bonding time. We just went for 2 nights but intend to go back again with more family members. It is definately less stressful than Disney World but just as family friendly with constant activities and this is off peak season in Nov. I can't imagine what it is like in the summer. I hope to find out another time. My girls are 2 and 5. But older kids would even have more to do. Everything was so clean and well laid out. I liked how you could walk to everything. Indoor pool was really nice. We also enjoyed the paddle boats and peacefulness and beauty of the lake. We didn't have spend time planning where we would go for dinner or when since it was like a cruise you ate at the same table and time each night. I believe they also have restaurants that are not included in the packages. The night time show in the huge nightclub was suitable for all ages. Being that we went off season and mid week there were alot of seniors.
A Peaceful Family Vacation
Just back from our first trip to Woodloch Pines and had a fantastic time. It's a self-contained resort for families of all ages, with accommodations in various sizes and price ranges. We had a lovely cabin overlooking the lake and three deer outside our deck every night at dusk. You are served 3 full meals a day -- not gourmet but good, wholesome, delicious, healthy food. There's no creme brulee, more like fresh pumpkin pie. There is an abundance of activities to keep everyone busy -- from bingo and go karts by day to a free musical or comedy show performed by the staff at night. Everything is extremely clean and you want for nothing. The exercise room and pool area are excellent. They even have Wi-Fi. What I really liked about Woodloch Pines was that it was so "family" oriented and geared towards "togetherness". The family could be grandparents with their children and grandchildren or it could be a young couple with or without children. It's definitely a very different, very wholesome, very relaxing and very satisfying vacation.

... makes sense of the many confusing directions of the GPS. For example, "In one quarter of a mile, keep left, bear right, keep left, take ramp on right to highway 1 676 West, 200 south, North Bound, then take exit on right!!"
Later we arived in Philadelphia, a little confusion as the GPS led us into a less than desirable area ( we needed 12th avenue, not 12th street), but we made it safe and sond to our lovely hotel!

IACP News
November 2010
The American Public Overwhelmingly Responds to DEA Prescription Drug Take-Back Effort
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced the overwhelmingly successful results of the first national prescription drug take-back initiative. The U.S. public turned in more than 242,000 pounds of prescription drugs for safe and proper disposal. More than 4,000 take-back sites were available in all 50 states.
"The Take-Back Campaign was a stunning nationwide success that cleaned out more than 121 tons of pills from America's medicine cabinets, in a crucial step toward reducing the epidemic of prescription drug abuse that is plaguing this nation," DEA Acting Administrator Michele M. Leonhart said in a statement in October. "Thanks to our state and local law enforcement and community partners—and the public—we not only removed these dangerous drugs from our homes, but also educated countless thousands of concerned citizens about the dangers of drug abuse."
Congress cleared legislation for President Obama that will allow the DEA to create a framework for a permanent solution for prescription drug disposal. Currently, there are no legal means to transfer possession of certain prescription drugs for disposal. Until permanent regulations are in place, however, the DEA will continue to hold one-day take-back programs.
"I applaud Congress for recognizing the magnitude of this threat to public health and safety and for passing the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which will provide Americans with safe, environmentally sound ways to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs," said Leonhart.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy Director R. Gil Kerlikowske agreed. "I commend the DEA under Acting Administrator Leonhart's leadership for its efforts in coordinating this important nationwide prescription drug take-back effort," he said. "More than 70 percent of people who abuse prescription drugs get them from friends or family – often from the home medicine cabinet. Expanding take-back efforts nationwide is a key strategy in preventing prescription drug diversion and abuse, while safeguarding the environment."
"The International Association of Chiefs (IACP) of Police is proud of the success of this very important initiative and the level of participation from so many law enforcement agencies around the country," said IACP Immediate Past President Michael Carroll. "The IACP fully supports this take-back effort because expired, unused, or unwanted controlled substances in the home represent a potential source of supply for the increasing abuse of pharmaceutical drugs in the United States and pose an unacceptable risk to public health and safety."
The DEA and other law enforcement working at disposal sites around the country reported huge turnouts of people ridding their medicine cabinets of unused or unwanted drugs. For example, in Troy, Missouri, a man literally brought his kitchen drawer full of medication to the collection site to empty. At another site in Jacksonville, Illinois, a woman brought in nearly 50 years' worth of medicines for disposal.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. More than 7 million U.S. citizens abuse prescription drugs, according to the 2009 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. And every day, on average, 2,500 teens use them to get high for the first time, according to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
Besides the DEA, other participants in this initiative include the Partnership for a Drug-Free America; the International Association of Chiefs of Police; the National Association of Attorneys General; the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy; the Federation of State Medical Boards; and the National District Attorneys Association.
Leading by Legacy Program
From July 24 to July 26, the IACP's Leading by Legacy Program held its first leadership and management training for rural law enforcement agencies in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thirty law enforcement officials representing twenty-three states from across the country participated in the two-and-a-half-day training. Throughout the event, trainers focused on the importance of developing a legacy in three major areas: the individual, the organization, and the community.
To begin the event, trainers emphasized core values as the foundation for a legacy and facilitated an exercise whereby participants created a legacy statement that reaffirmed their commitment to integrity, compassion, and professionalism. Trainers then guided participants through principles of leadership and decision making; ideas for developing leadership within their organizations; and needs identification for their communities through survey assessments. The training featured interactive role plays, small group discussions, and action planning to assist each participant to lead today based on the legacy they want to leave tomorrow. One participant remarked after attending the training, "It has opened my eyes to what I have to do to be a better leader and supervisor."
The Leading by Legacy Program will hold a series of no-cost trainings throughout 2011 and is currently accepting applications. Applicants must be executives, command staff, or first-line supervisors from rural jurisdictions to be eligible for consideration. In addition, the program also offers the following no-cost resources:
Information on upcoming events, eligibility requirements, and how to access these free resources can be found on the Leading by Legacy web page at http://www.theiacp.org/leadingbylegacy.
National Law Enforcement Policy Center
In 1987, the IACP entered into a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance to establish a National Law Enforcement Policy Center. The center's objective was to assist law enforcement agencies across the country in the critical and difficult task of developing and refining law enforcement policy. To date, more than 120 policies have been released. The latest policy topics are the following:
Organized under the direction of a broad-based advisory board of recognized law enforcement professionals, the center has carried out its mission through the development of a wide variety of model law enforcement policies. Each model incorporates the research findings, the input of leading subject experts, and the professional judgment of advisory board members who have combined this information with their extensive practical field and management experience. The end product is some of the best contemporary thinking in the field.
The policies addressed by the center are selected because they represent some of the most difficult issues facing law enforcement administrators. The policy center continues to develop models in other priority areas.
To receive model policies as they are published, readers are encouraged to join the center as a subscribing member. The subscription to the policy is sent electronically and provides each agency with policies in Microsoft Word documents and as PDFs. To subscribe, e-mail email@example.com or call 1-800-THE-IACP, extension 319.■

The BNP's senior legal advisor, has resigned because he said the far right party "cannot be trusted with political power".
Lee Barnes, who has described the JC as "a front group for the Zionist Nazis", was once considered a close ally of party leader Nick Griffin.
Announcing his departure Mr Barnes accused the BNP of covering up "serious allegations of sexual abuse by senior officers" and said he could not in "good conscience" stay on as an officer.
He also said that to his knowledge "the party is now technically insolvent". He blamed legal "debacles" including the dispute with Unilever over the use of a jar of Marmite in a political broadcast, for the party being "now technically bankrupt".
Mr Barnes added that "donations to the party have flowed to a trickle as well as party renewals and new inquiries".
Listing the reasons he could not remain as legal officer, Lee Barnes accused the BNP of expelling members who ask for financial transparency and refusing to protect its officers from threats of violence.
Mr Barnes also revealed infighting within the BNP organisation involving Nick Griffin and called for the creation of "an internal 'BNP Reconciliation Committee'" for members to discuss their grievances.
He made the announcement on his blog, a a platform he has used to attack the JC as "a racist organisation" and the "the mouthpiece of [a] clique of Zionist parasites and crooks". In one post in 2008 he wrote that the JC is "the Zionist version" of Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir.
Mr Barnes also once described the beating of a black suspect by police officers as "brilliant".
Nick Griffin announced he would stand down from the BNP leadership in 2013, and last month Simon Darby, the party's deputy leader, also stood down
The BNP won 560,140 votes at the 2010 elections – an upwards swing from 2005 of 1.2 per cent, but failed to secure any parliamentary seats.

- Conference date: 31 July-5 August, 2005
- Location: Baltimore, Maryland (USA)
Cubes (9.5 mm on edge) of polycrystalline and unidirectionally solidified forms of a nickel‐based superalloy (62.5% Ni) were impacted in vacuum at 761 m/sec and 746 m/sec, respectively, by gas‐gun‐accelerated 3.18 mm‐thick disks of 7075‐T6 aluminum. Visible fractures on the cubes were primarily associated with the impacted surfaces. The polycrystalline cube showed an irregular pattern of many open cracks; the residual compression along the direction of impact is 3.3%. The unidirectionally solidified single crystal cube (impacted on a face normal to the 〈100〉 direction) showed only minor cracks near the center of the cube face, extending to the centers of the face edges; the residual compression is 6.2%. The results are discussed in terms of the obstacle nature of grain boundaries and local stress buildup for cracking, along with the otherwise seemingly contrary result of lower polycrystal ductility relative to that observed for the undirectionally solidified single crystal material.

Ignore oil-pipeline alarmism
October 2, 2013
Several of the country's most powerful environmental groups have latched on to this spring's 10,000-barrell Arkansas oil spill to fight against a federal permit for Keystone XL, a proposed......
If things are so rosey Mr Blakely why has it taken 3 years to clean up the Kalamazoo river since that spill on July 10, 2010 and they are sill cleaning a stretch of 35 miles on that river..
How long did it take the oil company whose pipeline broke in TIOGA North Dakota and released 865,000 bbls on 7 acre's on Sep.29,2013. with that detection you talked about?? OH!! the land owner discovered that leak how would you answer that????
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Yes, grammy303, there should be a balance between environmental concerns and oil exploration concerns. The "chicken little" sky is falling approach to fracking concerns does not address what we can do to both get the oil and address the safety and environmental issues. Fracking is not the main issue, disposal of the waste products are. We should be treating the waste more, not just injecting it underground.

Best Hotels in Flagstaff
Flagstaff's proximity to the Grand Canyon makes it an excellent tourist destination for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Several businesses, including the Great West Adventure Company, offer helicopter and railway tours of the canyon. For a cheaper, more traditional experience, multi-day hiking tours are also available.
