100 Beats Per Minute (BPM)A
metronome is a device that keeps musicians in time and is beneficial
for any serious instrumental practise session, as by starting slow and
gradually turning up the speed you will improve technique and finger
strength. This is what really makes players great and isn;t even an
option, you need to keep in time!!This track is a great extra
taken from my 10 week beginners guitar course. If you have a metronome
then you may not want to bother. You can even get metronome sounds free
on the internet but this is far superior as you get continuous drum
beats for between 7 and 10 minutes (10 minutes for 60BPM and then gets
slightly less each time until you reach 130 BPM which is the 7 minutes)You will find other speeds on my products page or at my website, www.justinbrownguitar.comIt is a great idea to buy this lot as a collection and make a CD out of pure drum beats.

The Java Console is a developer accessory that ships by default with the
Java runtime program. There is an upgrade version Java 6.0_2u available
with the fix for the Fx bug in the prior 6.0_1u release. The bug has no
effect on the operation of Java supporting users browsing needs.

Horseradish Beet and Cucumber Salad
Ok, let me preface this with the following caveat: there is almost no way possible on this planet earth to photograph a hot pink beet salad properly. I tried. I really did, and as I drank the bottle of wine you see pictured with the salad, I mentally flaggelated myself for not attending more food photography sessions at the conferences I've...read more

Yes, I know, I haven't been publishing as much here. There's a reason I'm Loser Domi and not Winner Domi. The truth is, between work and packing what seems to be an ever-growing amount of crap to move, I haven't been as dedicated to the site as I should be. However, I am going once again to the lovely city of Tampa Bay, AKA a magical, mythical fairy land (if you trust what Ryan says)
Pictured above: Downtown Tampa.
On the plus side, I get to go to a Leafs/Lightning game while I'm down there. Nothing like a battle for the basement for a birthday, amirite? Maybe I'll get a hug from Thunderbug, or a highfive from the Ice Girls Professional Pom-pom shakers. Maybe, since it's my birthday (well, the day before), I can score some stadium beers or a puck or something. I'll be sure to take photos and document the adventure here.

DMK Chief Takes Tech Leap for Cadre
By Sruthisagar Yamunan - CHENNAI
Published: 19th January 2014 07:38 AM
Last Updated: 19th January 2014 07:39 AM
He might be nonagenarian and wheelchair bound but DMK chief M Karunanidhi is by far the most tech-savy politician in Tamil Nadu today. And on Saturday, the Dravidian patriarch took another leap in putting to use technology with the party, announcing that alerts about his statements and letters to cadre would soon be sent through text messages to mobile phones.
Speaking to Express, N Naveen and S Suresh, software engineers who manage Karunanidhi's internet presence, said that short and snappy text messages on important news from the DMK president would be sent from February 15 to all those who register for the SMS service. Naveen said it has been planned to send a short headline for the statements and letters in the text message with a link to the Facebook page or the website where the reader can access the full content.
Karunanidhi, who made his debut on Twitter and Facebook last year, is very particular about the response he gets on the social media. He personally reviews the responses every two days and encourages his account managers to report to him about criticisms made by his followers on the social media.
In fact, the DMK chief's Facebook account has garnered over 88,000 likes. There are close to 19,000 followers for his Twitter handle. Naveen said in a unique gesture, Karunanidhi made an exclusive video message for his social media followers to convey his Pongal wishes last week. The software engineer said that a massive internet campaign would soon be launched for the DMK's State conference to be held in Tiruchy.
"We are also in the process of refurbishing the www.kalaignarkarunanidhi.com website dedicated to Thalaivar," he pointed out. To register for the SMS alerts, mobile users have to send a text message with DMK followed by space and their district name to 56070, a press release said.

An expert paediatrician told an inquest how an eight year old boy severely ill with diabetes, would almost certainly have survived if an ambulance had been dispatched immediately when the 999 call was made.Instead, North West Ambulance Service wrongly recorded the symptoms of Lewis Austin, and forwarded the call to an out of hours call centre after classifying the case as a non-emergency.The inquest, which was due to conclude on Thursday, had already heard staff at the out of hours centre, wrongly treated Louis's condition which they suspected swine flu, prescribing Tamiflu. Some 36 hours later he was found dead by his mum.Consultant paediatrician Dr Rakesh Amin, stated that it could have been very different had Louis been admitted to hospital when the 999 call was made last July. The expert claimed Louis would have then been correctly diagnosed with diabetes in under 30 minutes of arriving at A&E because of standard triage procedures which would have included a blood test.As a consequence of the case, NWAS Area Medical Director Dr David Ratcliffe had ordered all 999 calls involving 'sick' children be given an automatic ambulance response, he also said all staff had been given extra training since Louis's tragic death.

The Law and Economics of the Exclusionary Rule
Tonja Jacobi
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
March 11, 2011
Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 87, No. 2, 2011
The exclusionary rule is premised on behavioral assumptions about how the law shapes police conduct. Using a law and economics approach, this Article draws out the implications of these assumptions. It shows: first, that in attempting to deter police violations, the rule actually encourages police harassment of ordinary citizens, particularly minorities; and second, when applied at trial, the rule decreases the benefit of the doubt that defendants who are most likely to be actually innocent can receive. Judicial attempts to mitigate these costs of the exclusionary rule in fact exacerbate them. The manifold jurisprudential rules that make up this area of law can be assessed in terms of the extent each effectively differentiates between the guilty and the innocent. Assessed in this way, it becomes clear that much of the secondary jurisprudence in search and seizure law further aggravates the problem.

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Review
With the best multiplayer shooting that money can buy, an incredibly action-packed campaign and plenty of superb two-player co-op levels, this is without a doubt a real contender for game of the year.
No, it's not as visually cutting-edge as Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2, but that doesn't mean it's not a fine looking game. Other than some frame rate hiccups here and there (slightly worse in the PS3 version, sadly) the frame rate is silky smooth, there's always an absolute ton of stuff going on all around you (take a moment to look into the sky and you can see how much work has gone into creating this virtual world) and the audio work is exceptional. The Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, among others) score is incredible, matching every heart-stopping moment the campaign throws at you, and the voice acting for the main characters is top drawer, putting many other triple-A releases to shame.
So, that's a rip-roaring, no-holds-barred, action-packed single-player campaign and a staggeringly good co-op mode, and I've yet to mention the competitive multiplayer. It's this that is likely to be played for months and months, keeping Modern Warfare 2 in your disc drive well into 2010. Up to 18 players can take part in numerous solo and team matches set across 16 brand new maps. You also get the same levelling up and perks system as seen in CoD4 and Cod: WaW, meaning that the more time you pump into it the greater your selection of perks will be.
Perks are nothing new these days, but they're still a great inclusion and let you customise your style of play to a greater degree than what your weapon load-out alone would allow. You have three perk slots to fill, each offering you a choice of unlocked abilities or bonuses. As well as plenty of the perks seen in CoD4 (Slight of Hand, Stopping Power, Steady Aim), there are new choices such as Ninja (invisible to heartbeat sensor) and Hardline (killstreaks require one less kill). These can be improved by the new Pro perks, unlocked by completing time-intensive objectives during play, giving you enhanced abilities.
Kill Streaks - the system that rewards you with mid-match bonuses for racking up a certain number of kills in a row - are present and correct, and there are a handful of new rewards on offer if you're good enough (access to the Predator missile system and an air-dropped care package, being two of them). Terrible gamers needn't get too despondent, as Infinity Ward has added a new Deathstreak mechanic that assists players who die frequently. Martyrdom, the infamous perk that saw your character releasing a grenade upon death, is now one of these, as is Copycat, which gives you the kit of the guy who killed you - great if you're still wandering around as a noob with the starter load-out.
Modern Warfare 2 also features unlockable attachments, such as laser sights for your weapons, and lots of new firearms to get your hands on; this is just as well, as the starting kit isn't anything to write home about. Also back are multiplayer challenges: weapon-specific goals that award more XP to go towards your overall rank. These range from the relatively simple (10 headshots) to the downright tricky (40 bullet penetration kills - achieved by firing through walls). All of this stuff sets Modern Warfare 2 apart from its competitors, making for one hell of an addictive multiplayer experience.
In truth, CoD4's multiplayer mode didn't quite get the credit it deserved back in 2007, with no-one really knowing how well it would be taken up by the millions of people who bought it. Today it's obvious that gamers will be playing Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer for a very long time. In fact, it's hard to see the majority of people wanting to play any other multiplayer shooter until the next CoD is released, such is the quality of what's on offer here. That seems like as good a place as any to end this review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 takes everything that was great about CoD4 and ramps it up to the next level. With the best multiplayer shooting that money can buy, an incredibly action-packed campaign and plenty of superb two-player co-op levels, this is without a doubt a real contender for game of the year.

The Islands itself has a lot of history and Greek mythology, for example the Greek name Kerkya comes from the women Kerkya and Poseidon felt in love with this women and therefore back at this time he offered her to take her name for the unnamed island

Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophyby M. F. Burnyeat
M. F. Burnyeat taught for 14 years in the Philosophy Department of University College London, then for 18 years in the Classics Faculty at Cambridge, 12 of them as the Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy, before migrating to Oxford in 1996 to become a Senior Research Fellow in Philosophy at All Souls College. The studies, articles and reviews collected in these two volumes of Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophy were all written, and all but two published, before that decisive change. Whether designed for a scholarly audience or for a wider public, they range from the Presocratics to Augustine, from Descartes and Bishop Berkeley to Wittgenstein and G. E. Moore. Their subject-matter falls under four main headings: 'Logic and Dialectic' and 'Scepticism Ancient and Modern', which make up the first volume, with 'Knowledge' and 'Philosophy and the Good Life' contained in this, the second volume. The title 'Explorations' well expresses Burnyeat's ability to discover new aspects of familiar texts, new ways of solving old problems. In his hands the history of philosophy becomes itself a philosophical activity.

A woman is facing charges for supplying the gun that a man used to fire several shots into the ground near her sister's car about six weeks ago, officials said.
Kristen Mertz gave a semiautomatic pistol she bought at Cabela's in Hamburg, Berks Co., on Aug. 25 to Damian D. Zamora, even though he was not allowed to possess one because of a felony conviction in New Jersey, officials said. Zamora was with Mertz at the time she purchased the firearm, they added.
A "highly intoxicated" Zamora jumped out from behind the home of Katie Mertz at 17 North Main St., Nazareth, at about 2 a.m. Aug. 30, pulled the pistol from his waist and fired five shots into the ground as Katie Mertz pulled her car into the driveway, officials said.
Kristen Mertz, 24, of 3035 Bath Pike, Upper Nazareth Twp., Northampton Co., was arraigned on a firearm ownership charge and committed to the Northampton County Prison on $35,000 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 11 a.m. Oct. 22.

Laboratory meat
Though he certainly isn't the first of his kind, Medical University of South Carolina researcher Vladimir Mironov is making strides towards a clean and efficient method for growing meat in the laboratory. Moreover, this article in Reuters argues that the tissues he generates have moved beyond the questionable "shmeat" featured on the Colbert Report in 2009, and are now instead in the realm of the downright tasty.
Dr. Mironov argues that, "it will be functional, natural, designed food." (I'm not sure how a designed food is a natural food, precisely, but more on that later.) "How do you want it to taste? You want a little bit of fat, you want pork, you want lamb? We design exactly what you want. We can design texture."
At first I was excited. Wooo, technology! But then I drew back. Thinking about farmed cow tissue gave me pause for more reasons than I originally thought possible. One was that I worried about the nature of what I'd be eating: Is this truly healthy? Am I really nurturing myself when I eat this? My guess at the answer, however, is: probably. My initial concern was warranted but likely disproportionate to the true nature of the matter. Tissue engineers know their stuff. If they can make a new hip, attach old limbs, and even, today, seriously endeavor to grow a woolly mammoth from ancient DNA, they can probably make properly meaty meat. On the other hand, the type of DNA they use to grow the meat, and the type of tissue they endeavor to make–for example, do they use a healthy or a grain fed cow for the model?–will certainly impact the product. Moreover, would there be a "meat" standard throughout the world, or would products vary from lab to lab and market to market? These are interesting questions, and actually have real world implications for our future health.
A second reason for my reservation was the subconscious association I made between meat tissue and human tissue. When I think about tissue labs, I think about Michael Bay's film The Island, and I flinch a bit. If we can make meat in the laboratory, whose to say we can't make organisms? As a matter of fact, we can. Clones are a reality, and it's a reality that makes our skin itch. Growing meat evokes heavy existential questions. What does it mean to be alive? To be human? To have agency? A soul?
Moreover, this is not just an issue of the future, but of the present. I should be rocked by the power of technology every day, but as I float along in the blogosphere or fly from Detroit to Taipei as easily (or more easily) than I walk to the newsstand in the mornings, I forget how removed we are from a "natural state." I take keeping in touch with nature and my organic existence very seriously, but the truth is that I can sort of ignore it if I want to. Would eating grown meat be another push in that direction? Is the idea of an "organic existence" directly in conflict with eating animal tissue generated in a petri dish?
Cell biologist Nichols Genovese makes the relevant point that "there are a lot of products that we eat today that are considered natural that are produced in a similar manner…there's yogurt, which is cultured yeast. You have wine production and beer production. These were not produced in laboratories. Society has accepted these products."
But cultured yeast is still yeast. Genovese's point, while not ridiculous, doesn't really hold. Culturing yeast is more equivalent to a feed lot than a petri dish. Each is a place where nutrients are available for organisms to grow. Moreover, a yeast cell doesn't have agency, doesn't graze through green pastures, doesn't raise young, and isn't something I necessarily treat with sacred respect. I'm not 100 percent sure of the statement I'm about to make, but I think my biggest problem with the lab meat is this: I feel a fair bit spiritual about what I eat. I like to feel as though I am integrating the Earth into my body when I eat vegetables, and the fabric of the animal kingdom into my soul when I eat meat. I live in profound gratefulness for the bounty of the Earth, and laboratories remove that glory. This would explain why I feel okay about genetically modified foods. They are the product of both the Earth and of man's genius, and that's pretty cool. Laboratory meat, while hugely complicated and practical, offers no such transcendence.
I think that, in the end, I feel about laboratory meat the same way I do about lots of society: resigned acceptance. This is something that could be really good for the environment and for global health (however, I have to wonder: how sustainable is the production process?), and it's a sacrifice I am definitely willing to make. A wee bit part of my soul cries at the loss, but it's a small part, and this is so far away in the future anyway that I cannot predict with any degree of certainty how the whole deal with play out. I have this faith in humanity… Remember in the 50s, 60s, and 70s when everyone was predicting we'd be living in silver jumpsuits on concrete high rises and perpetually hardwired into computers or some other crazy technology? It's never happened, and it's never going to happen. As much as we enjoy playing with the bounds of technology, we have an innate humanity that we will never relinquish. No one makes silver jumpsuits because no one wants to wear them. Similarly, if people are so horrified by the though of laboratory meat, we may in fact find a way to live sustainably and naturally after all.Tweet

I would like to understand what it is that causes a crew to time out on a planned flight.
In the above example the BA0213 LHR-BOS today was delayed by 5 hours.
Would the same crew take the flight?
At what time is a crew member classed as "on duty"? Is it the time of the flight departure or the time they arrived at the "office"
I presume the flying time is also a factor.
Do the rules vary from company to company.
Who has the final say, pilot,airline or aviation authority?

Now that Rupert Grint's theatrical debut "Mojo" has officially opened with previews at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London, some of the initial reactions are beginning to surface on the internet. And it seems like Rupert is proving his chops in more ways than one.
The stage play centers on rock 'n roll, gangs, and drugs in 1950s London, and our favorite red head plays a man named Sweets, a troubled character caught up in this lifestyle.
We've gathered a few quick thoughts from around the internet on this highly anticipated black comedy and summarized them below for you. Despite some plot holes and issues with a script that is sometimes risqué and excessive, "Mojo" has frequently been cited as being quite funny, while the actors are all extremely impressive and engaging in their roles.
Rev Stan's Theatre Blog
Summary: Rupert Grint looked "surprisingly assured" in a play that "didn't disappoint".
London Reviews
Summary: The play is referred to as "dark and humorous, with constant flares of genius", while "Sweets [Rupert Grint] and Potts [Daniel Mays] are a wonderful comedy duo that play off each other well".
The Other Bridge Project
Rupert Grint does "very well" and is quite "relatable" in this role.

This was a busy year for us here at See Colombia Travel, which ended with the award for Best Travel Blog in the Americas, so thanks to all of those who voted and who read the blog for helping us finish the year with a bang. But that wasn't the only exciting development of 2013 – here's our round-up of the main events to go down at See Colombia Travel this year. May 2014 bring some more of the same!
At the end of January we launched the new and improved layout for the See Colombia Travel Blog. It was also a busy month for Sarah, who not only took on the adventure of the Ruta Mutis, but she also appeared on TV. We were nominated for a Bloggie for Best Travel Blog in Latin America and we appeared on popular Colombian TV show 'Como en Casa'.
This month saw us publish our 500th post, in which we detailed 500 reasons why we foreigners love Colombia so much. Paul shared his experiences of two years living in Colombia, while we began to work more closely with our friend and partner Toya Viudes, from Colombia de Una. We also attended the Anato Travel Fair.
March was all about the Bloggies. After releasing a short video, we won the Best Blog in Latin America award!
JL, Marcela and Gilesy were in attendance at the launch of the new Colombia tourist campaign, which replaced 'The Only Risk is Wanting to Stay' with 'Magical Realism'. We spent some time reflecting about what Colombia has taught us and posted our 40 life lessons from living in Colombia. Peru's top chef, Gaston Acurio, invited us to the opening of his new restaurant in Bogota, El Patio. Spanish pop star Alejandro Sanz visited our good friend and partner, Daniel Meronho, at his Bogota restaurant, Chamberi.
This was a hectic month for Chris, who not only had the opportunity to take on Choco, but who also met none other than Radamel Falcao. This month we also tried buying Twitter followers before quickly realising that it wasn't the best idea and starting to delete our new, fake followers. We had the opportunity to meet and interview Luis Eduardo Villamizar, a Colombian American creating a documentary about Colombia and his journey to discover his heritage. See Colombia Travel held an event for Firefox employees in Cartagena, which was a resounding success.
JL and Toya were invited to explore Medellin alongside Dani Meronho and a Peruvian and Argentinian blogger. JL was also lucky enough to be whisked away to Chile to share his experience of the blogging world and to impart some of his wisdom. We also appeared on National Geogrpahic television,
JL and Marcela took a trip up to Palomino where they celebrated the anniversary of their first trip together. This is also where they discovered Playa La Roca, a fantastic hotel in Palomino. We finally managed to delete all of our fake Twitter followers, although the tool we used worked a little too well and actually got rid of some of our real followers!
The See Colombia Travel team experienced a welcome expansion, as Lydia joined the team to add a little French flair to proceedings, while Carolina became our resident Colombian. This month, Azzam also shared his experience of when seven members of his family came to visit Colombia and instantly fell in love.
Our beloved and wonderful editor Paul Fowler sadly left Colombia for Germany, after three years living in Colombia. We won't lie, his emotional farewell to Colombia had us all in tears. Azzam then had to take on the Herculean task of replacing Paul as editor. See Colombia Travel finalised a partnership with Terra Colombia. JL and Toya were whisked away to San Agustin, where they had the opportunity to get stuck in to the fascinating culture and history of the area. We also launched our new look website.
Azzam visited Quibdo with Toya for his first visit to Choco, where he was lucky enough to experience the stunning festival of San Pacho. JL and Toya were invited to Campus Party in Medellin to give a talk about blogging. See Colombia Travel also completed an agreement with Marca Colombia, allowing us to share our mutual knowledge of the travel industry in Colombia. We reached 5,000 Twitter followers. Argentinian blogger, Laura Lazzarino, shared her experience of Medellin with us. Our former team mate Cathrina was blessed with a baby, congratulations! At the Twitter Colombia awards, we were proud to be supporting Luis Villamizar and his Journey to Colombia documentary. JL and Marcela were blown away in Medellin when they were recognised by Sandra, one of our readers, who was recently convinced via a chat to Marcela to return to Colombia. We also began a partnership with Daniel Tirado, ex-'desafio' contestant and travel blogger extraordinaire from Medellin. He's pretty handy with a camcorder too…
After a busy October, things didn't calm down much! JL's blogging and marketing experience once again got him invited abroad to share his knowledge, this time to Mexico. This is where our 'chiva viajera' had its first foreign outing. He was also invited by Holiday Inn to Cartagena. Paco Nadal, Spain's most famous travel blogger, visited Colombia and travelled to the Lost City with Toya. Gilesy and Azzam were invited to Antioquia to get to know more about the fascinating history of the region- they visited a number of small towns and handicrafts centres and delved deep into the heart of Antioquia. We also reflected on what it takes for a foreigner to become Colombian and posted our 16 signs you are becoming a Colombian.

BOSTON — The manager spoke in quiet tones, so quiet that you almost wondered if you had it all wrong, if that first Detroit Tigers win you just witnessed had really been just another loss.
"We've got a good club," Jim Leyland said late Wednesday night, in words that would have fit either the first win or the eighth loss. "You just have to believe and keep the faith that things are going to work out. It's a 162-game season."
It is and it's now a season that can go on for the Tigers. They're not 0-7 anymore and they'll never be 0-8. And no matter how much the manager wanted it to seem like just another win, the feeling of relief in the clubhouse reminded you that it wasn't.
It was 7-2, the Tigers over the Red Sox, and even though it's just the first win of the year, you sensed that it will always stand as one of the most important wins of the year.
"Now we're a team," Magglio Ordonez declared. "We're back in reality."
Perhaps they are, even if Ordonez himself still doesn't have an RBI to his name, and even if Miguel Cabrera (.125) isn't hitting his contract ($153 million), let alone his weight (240).
Strange as it seems, the Tigers won Wednesday without their help. Instead, they won with three hits from Edgar Renteria, one very big home run from Marcus Thames, two even bigger innings of relief from Bobby Seay and Francis Beltran and two huge hours of work from Kenny Rogers.
Kenny Rogers?
Well, sort of. Rogers was the losing pitcher Tuesday night, so he punished himself Wednesday by running what amounted to his own Boston Marathon. He ran laps around the Fenway Park field, from the time the Red Sox started batting practice until the Tigers finished.
It was, by his count, about 60 laps. On the clock, about two hours.
"He's messed up in the head," Placido Polanco said.
"Crazy," said Carlos Guillen.
Or maybe just a good teammate.
"I figured I'd run us out of all our bad stuff," Rogers said. "I told the guys before the game that we were going to win, because I ran it all out of us."
Whatever it takes, right?
As it turned out, it took more. Three innings in, it was more of the same, and the Tigers trailed 2-0. But then Renteria, who still gets booed in Boston because he didn't do well in his one year with the Red Sox, tied it up with his two-run double in the fourth. Thames followed with a two-run home run and the Tigers had both their biggest inning of the year and also their first lead since last Saturday.
Later, Leyland would need 12 very big outs from his bullpen. It says something that he turned to Seay (to face three left-handed hitters and one switch-hitter) and then Beltran, who wasn't even on the opening day roster and last contributed to a major-league win four years ago with the Montreal Expos.
Even later, and even with a five-run lead, Leyland used Todd Jones in the ninth, because this was a save (the season) situation.
"It's over," Inge said, referring not to the season but to the losing streak. "Now we can just go back to playing."
And maybe, even at 1-7, we can all go back to saying that the Tigers have a good team.
"There's no doubt about it," said Sean Casey, the ex-Tiger who had two hits Wednesday night for the Red Sox. "When it's all said and done, they'll be right at the top of the Central. There's too much firepower there and too many good arms.
"They'll be fine."
At least on this day, they feel fine.

-Best Salon for Brides
We were all so excited to attend the party. Here's how it went down… Amy received a letter saying that New Leaf has won something. RI Monthly keeps everything else a big secret. Working in a salon, we are very good secret keepers. We hold the key to lots of 'stuff', if you know what I mean. But we still hate secrets, especially when we are on the other end of things. So we closed the salon early, dressed to impress, and all headed in to the Providence Performing Arts Center (Rhode Islanders…PPAC:)
After some cocktails and apps, we headed in for the presentation of the magazine and for some special awards…
Stacy & Ashley…
Pam & Danielle
Allie, Michelle, Nicole & Amy G
The unveiling of the 2010 cover…
They announce a few featured winners like Frank Coletta (Best TV News Anchor), Siena (Best Restaurant and Best Italian Restaurant) and good ol' Buddy Cianci (toupee-less & winner of Best Radio Personality, emphasis on personality).
Then they send everyone off for some dancing, drinking and eating and hand out the magazines as we leave the theater.
Here are the girls rifling through the magazine to see what we've won…
Imagine Amy's delight to see the photo and the Bridal Lounge feature on the Best Salon for Brides category. Woo Hoo!
A sneak peek until the magazine hits the shelves…
Readers' Poll….
New Leaf's Bridal Lounge feature…
The stage was packed…the complimentary martinis were luring everyone up on stage. The Love Machine was a New Leaf fav!

A few were missing (tear drop sound effect)…Melanie, Stephanie, Mary, Yadira and Cynthia were at the party in spirit. Danielle and Pam were present, but we think were hiding in the martini line;)
A BIG HUGE THANKS to our amazing clients for their loyalty, their support and for just being the best clientele a salon could ask for. We always say it so special to win the Readers' Poll category (it's the 4th year:) because it means the 'people have spoken' and we love that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We literally could not do it without you.
Now for the sappy part …A big thanks to Amy Silva, our fabulous owner and truly, the brains behind the business. We love working for you, you provide us with a fantastic clientele, a great space, a fun environment, and you are always keeping things fresh. It's a great thing to walk into work feeling so proud. We know it's not easy but you take it all in stride and we thank you because you can't ever hear that you are appreciated enough. If she were blogging right now, she'd be thanking us but we have the keyboard now:o)

Thank you for visiting our past auction result archives. If you have an item identical (or similar) to this auction lot, please call, write or contact us to discuss. We will be able to help you.
Lot # 1318 (of 1525) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1918 FDR Signed Letter and WWI Binoculars
Starting Bid - $400.00, Sold For - $1,160.00
In times of war the U.S. citizenry is known for its sacrifice and dedication to the cause in any way possible. During the First World War that support often took the form of equipment donated to the military, as exemplified here. Offered are binoculars and case, volunteered to the U.S. Navy in WWI, along with a citation, and letter of thanks signed by then Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The typed letter (along with postmarked envelope), dated "January 11, 1918," on Navy Department letterhead (8.5 x 11), and addressed to "Mr. Richard Stephen Tener, 5633 Northumberland, Pittsburgh, Pa.," reads: "Dear Sir: Your prompt and patriotic response to the NAVY'S call for binoculars is most appreciated. The glasses will be very useful in the prosecution of Naval Operations until victory is won. At the termination of the war, if possible, every effort will be made to return them to you when it is hoped that you will feel compensated for any evidence of wear, by the knowledge that you have supplied 'Eyes for the NAVY!' during a very trying period. On behalf of the NAVY, I wish to thank you most heartily. Very respectfully, Franklin D Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy." The black ink signature is bold and flawless ("10"). The letter exhibits two horizontal mail creases, light toning and a dampstain at the lower left that touches on two words of the text. The letter is accompanied by a printed Department of Navy citation (8.5 x 11 inches) issued as a certificate of appreciation to Mr. Tener and facsimile-signed FDR (light toning, dampstain, foxing). And lastly, also included with the signed letter and citation are the actual binoculars which had been loaned, and which indeed had been returned, still in their original hard leather case with strap and containing a identification sticker inside from "Office Inspector,/Engineering Material U.S. Navy,/Navy Department/Official Business." Roosevelt resigned his seat in the New York State Senate to become President Wilson's Assistant Secretary of the Navy (1913-1920), serving throughout World War I. This is a fascinating lot which tells a story of support of U.S. troops by an American citizen during World War I, and the appreciation of this support as expressed by future president FDR in his official capacity as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Total 3 items (FDR letter, citation, binoculars with case). LOA from James Spence, Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Reserve $400. Estimate $800/$1,200. SOLD FOR $1,160.00

Pure Nutella Cake
I've never seen an entire cake that is Nutella flavored. I've seen various cakes swirled with Nutella, and I've made a Nutella mug cake. So I figured, why not a regular bundt cake only with Nutella flavor?
This cake came out a pretty dark brown. I wasn't sure really how to decorate it and didn't want to mess with the almost shiny surface. I think the best way to decorate it maybe is with a Nutella frosting. But I'm still hesitant to decorate my Bundt cakes. I've tried it a few times and messed up horribly.
So in the end I just did a powdered sugar dusting.
This cake came out soft and moist and tasted of Nutella. Yum. The outside was a little dry. I'm not sure if it's because I overcooked, or because I need to adjust the recipe a little to make it even more moist.
It's not overly sweet, so if you enjoy frosting, I do recommend melting some Nutella and frosting your cake with it.
I really enjoyed this cake though. And I would definitely make it again. It was pretty easy to put together and I was able to cram it in one late night before bed.
Nutella Cake
2 3/4 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup milk
1 cup Nutella
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray extra large bundt pan (12-16 cup) with Pam Spray with flour. Line 6 cupcake liners in muffin pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the Nutella and mix. Add half the flour mixture and half the milk and mix. Add in remaining flour mixture and milk and mix until batter is smooth. Fill 6 cupcake liners about 2/3 full of batter. Pour remaining batter into bundt pan.
4. Bake for approximately 55 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean for the bundt cake. Bake about 18-22 minutes for the cupcakes.
5. When cake is cooled, you can melt some Nutella in the microwave to use as frosting.

Will I be able to use a angel food pan? I don't have a Bundt pan.
Looks like I'll be making this too!
I have the same bundt pan! I love how Gothic it looks.
About topping the bundt cake, yes, frosting is too thick. Have you thought about glaze? I've glazed my bundt cakes before and it looks really nice.
That's one gorgeous cake with one gorgeous ingredient! Who doesn't like Nutella, bookmarked!!!
I'm really clumsy, so it's better that I don't try to decorate my desserts. But I think one bundt is too perfect to decorate, and just the powdered sugar is perfect And then, I think, you can add som ice cream to eat it, can I???
I'm going to take the recipe, since I love Nuttella and I have bought a veeeeeery big jar this week!!
And when you use Nutella, pumpkin and things like that, I can't believe you're wrong :p
Yum, Nutella cake! I think it is just perfect with a dusting of powdered sugar. I always find that happening to my Bundt cakes as well. The inside is moist but the edges dry. I wonder if baking it at a lower temperature (300 or 325°) a little longer would help?
This is my 2nd time making the cake and I am having problems.
1st time – I had way too much batter in the bundt pan. Burned
on top. Cut top off and put back in oven and cooked more.
2nd time I only put in half the batter, rose beautiful, but,
fell in the middle. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am going by the receipe.
Please help – too good to waste.
Thanks, will try next time….as it cooked it looked great. then about 3/4 of being done it goes flat. Any suggestions?
Made this last night and it turned out wonderful!
How much time woupd I bake it If im doing 8″ round pan
I decided to try this, and decided to lower the baking temp after reading some comments. I'm a good hour and 10 minutes into the cake and it is still not done. Also, I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I have cake batter cascading out the center of my bundt pan and into the bottom of my oven. At least it smells delicious!
Wow what a mess! My oven is overflowing with cake. I am a very experienced baker and this never has happened. I think your mesurements are in correct. My cake is all over my oven and had been in for almost a hour and a half and is still not cooked.
UGH! What a mess and no cake to show for it. I decided to cut my losses and threw it away after over an hour of cooking(it still wasn't done!) and oozing all over the bottom of my oven. Yes, I used the typical Bundt pan. Unfortunately, I was providing dessert tonight and now because of the state of my oven, I won't even be able to make something else!Please either correct the recipe or remove it so no one else has to deal with the aftermath.
This cake is delicious! Very moist and fluffy. Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely make this again.
I wanted to spunk it up a bit so I added crushed walnuts and white chocolate chips. I also omitted 1/4 of the milk and added sweetened condensed milk instead. I also added a little vanilla. Oh and I used coconut sugar for half the sugar. It's baking now. Wish me good luck! The batter tasted exquisite!
Made this cake today in a heart shaped bundt pan (10cup capacity) and the remaining batter in a small bundt pan. It came out perfect!!! Yes, it took 50 minutes for my cake to bake. Soooo moist and yummmmy! We loved it. I made a simple and super ganache to dress the cake( chocalate chips, heavy whipping cream and a tbsp of nutella)it was awesome. I recommended this cake to all faithful nutella lovers in the world. Just follow the receipe ditto. It's no fail cake. If at all any body's cake failed it's simply because of their oven temperature or so.thanks Kirbie for the wonderful receipe!
I made this last night, with one modification, and it worked really well! The batter fit in my pan (my Bundt pan is 10″ across, not sure about the cup capacity) and the instructions were very helpful, re: making 6 cupcakes in addition to the cake. I really wanted a chocolate Nutella cake, so I swapped 1/2 cup of flour for 1/2 cup of cocoa. I will definitely make this again, and when I do I will reduce the sugar to 1 cup. I found the 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of Nutella to be too sweet for my taste. Adding mini chocolate chips would be a good idea too. I'm looking forward to testing it out!
I'm not so happy with how it turned out! It doesn't taste like Nutella at all, just sweet. It's nice and moist, yes but otherwise underwhelming. My 3 year old is happy with it and would eat the entire thing but it's for a party and I'll see what my guests say.

For me, the cons of dianette definitely outweigh the pros. Although it did completely clear my acne, it took nearly a year to do so. Within the first few months of taking the pill I started getting hot and cold flashes which worsened with time. I also found that I became very anxious and paranoid whilst taking dianette, although I only noticed this after I stopped taking it. I have been on my new pill, cilest, for around 3 months now and as well as keeping my skin clear I am not feeling depressed, bloated, and nauseous like I was with dianette. My hot and cold flashes are starting to lessen, although I still get them from time to time- for me this was the most frustrating side effect of dianette which no one else seemed to get?! My advice would be to definitely consider the pros and cons of dianette, had I been informed about them by my doctor I would not have taken it.
I developed acne when I was 13 and it just never went away. It destroyed my confidence. When I was 25 (after years of the doctors fobbing me off saying I would grow out of it) I was in having an appointment with the nurse (ear infection) when she asked how long I had the acne for. I told her 12 years and she was shocked a doctor had never offered me treatment. She made me an appointment with the doctor about it so finally a doctor would have to do something about it.
The doctor prescribed Dianette. I was taking it for three months without any real affect and I was suffering from some depression (though that might partially be from the fact my acne wasnt going!) It got really bad, I wouldnt even go out with my friends. In month four my skin started clearing up and the depression went completely. My periods are much lighter and shorter and I dont get PMS or cramps.
In the week off your skin doesnt change so if thats a concern for others I didnt notice a difference.
The doctor started threatening to take me off it at about the year point but when I spoke to the nurse she said if I have no history of depression/cancer/DVT ect; then there shouldnt be a reason to take me off it. I have no side effects from it, in fact its improved my life no end. I asked about the increased risk in clots/cancer ect; and she said all pills come with that, and since she was a teenager in the seventies they have been told horror stories about the pill which she has never seen come to fruition. There was all sorts saying it caused breast cancer, but she said now we know about the hereditary gene so it cant be ruled out thats what we had seen the whole time.
In all she said the increased risk is small and comes with every pill, so why take someone off a pill that is helping so much? All medicines and pills come with possible effects but it doesnt stop us taking them if the good outweighs any small risk.
If you do get depression that carries on into about month 4 or 5 I would say come off it, this is probably the most serious and probable side effect. If you have history of depression or it runs in your family dont take it!!
At 39 and years of moderate acne, I have started Dianette along with Oxytetracyclin. I am sick of feeling ugly and spotty and I was becoming obsessed with my skin. I felt people were looking at my spots and not at me. I tried everything and spent hundred of pounds on treatments and products! I think if you are going to get acne there is nothing you can do. It isn't down to what you eat, its your physical make up/the way you are!
I've been on Oxy for 6 weeks now and have just finished my first pack of Dianette. I'm not sure what I think which is why I'm reading these reviews!! in the first week my skin was amazing,,,,,happy wasnt the word!! Then it started to clear out and get spottier. My acne is slowly getting better but I have still had the odd BIG spot. Maybe its still too early to tell.
Regarding Dianette - I was frightened to take this with all the horror stories and being 39. However I have never smoked, I don't suffer from depression, I don't have family history of breast cancer or dvt and my bp is low. So I went for it and made my friend promise to tell me if my personality changed! I have to say, I feel fine, absolutely no different to normal. I will be more vigilant with bp checks and smear tests etc but so far so good. AND...my hair and skin isn't as greasy! Only downside is my boobs ache a bit. I am hoping they will grow a bit!
I guess everyone is different, I will persevere with Dianette as I REALLY want clear skin - I hate being the spotty one!
I would just say be aware of all the side effects and if you suspect any, then be safe and come off of it.
I never had terrible skin as a young teenager, it wasn't not until my late teens where I used antibiotics to help keep my skin clear as i tended to get a few under the skin sore, hard spots. I'm now into my first year of my 20's and i can honestly say I've never felt so rubbish about myself, so i went to the doctors and he prescribed me with Dianette. With the first strip of pills i didn't see a decrease on the amount of acne spots on my face, they're still sore, hard and very red..in my opinion they're much, much worse. I've just started my second strip of pills but i don't know whether to give up! I'm also one of those people who has a very short fuse, and currently I feel it's at the shortest it's ever been, i cannot seem to control my behavior.
I took Dianette for 18 months for acne. I didn't have any bad side effects, although I was a bit achey the first month or so, this wore off. It didn't do wonders for my acne but it did calm it down quite a lot. I say it's worth trying (especially if you take a contraceptive pill anyway) as it did help, and others have had great success.
I have since come off Dianette and went onto Cilest, which I would highly recommend as it cleared my skin up within a month. (Unfortunately I got really bad water retention so now have to switch after 4 months, and I'm gutted to come off it, but others may not get this side effect :) )
I was prescribed this from my GP at 17 yrs old after many failed topical treatments. I actually took this for about a year on and off (which is terrible I know) . Ill outline the pros and cons instead of writing an essay because Id rather just get to the point.
Cleared my acne to an extent, this includes bacne/neck/chest (I still got the odd spot here and there while on this)
It will work if your acne is hormonal
No initial breakout (for me at least)
Bigger boobs (embarrassing because I already was quite big but my boyfriend at the time was happy;) lol)
Now on to the cons:
You cannot take this in the long run so it does give you false hope. Yeah its great while you're on it. You'll have beautiful skin and be ready to conquer the world but the second you come off this your skin will possibly break out again. It wont be as severe as the acne you had before but yeah you'll still break out. (This happened to me, it may not be the same for you)
Weight gain. I gained approx. two stone from taking this. For some reason this made me crave terrible food thus adding the pounds. :(
Random black hairs popped up in strange places while taking this
Pains in the lower leg region and bruising
God awful anxiety (not being able to leave the house)
High blood pressure
Terrible migraines
Paranoia (I was convinced I had a brain tumor -extreme I know)
Made me moody/emotional (I once cried when my sister sat on some oreos I had on a plate...physically sobbed so .. yeah:D)
Now I'm not going to totally bash Dianette/Diane because it does work wonders in the short term. I felt great while I was on this, so confident. Unfortunately the side effects I was having scared me to death..Would I consider ever trying it again?-NO. But I would recommend it. Everybody is different, just because I had those side effects doesn't mean you will. I also had a terrible doctor (I've changed doctors since) who didn't monitor me properly and I think just gave me this to shut me up. Also I cringe every time I think of me being 16/17 and being on a drug this powerful. It makes you think of all the toxic crap we put in our system to eradicate this disease. So give it a bash if you want but just be careful, read the side effects and monitor yourself on it, if you get adverse reactions speak to your doctor and come off it. Good luck:)
I was prescribed this for 6 months at first and my acne disappeared in the second month and did not return until I came off the pill. My acne returned as bad as before in 2 months despite being prescribed microgynon. I was then advised to go back on dianette for 5 months and did so as I was desperate to get rid of my acne again. It went away in the second month but came back after I finished the 5 month course. I am now looking at going on accutane and have been prescribed yasmin.
Ultimately, this pill is highly effective at getting rid of acne in the short term but is not by any means a long term solution :(
My heart goes out to anyone suffering with acne, I know how hard it is! Good luck and I really hope you find something that works for you! I would recommend this if you are SICK of having acne and want to just have a break from it for a while. Maybe your doctor can prescribe a follow-on pill that would be effective at balancing out your hormones?
After failure with antibiotics and topical creams/liquids for 2 years, doctor finally prescribed me dianette. The first 3 times I took it, I was violently vomiting until the pill came back up but my body had already absorbed the estrogen (it is absorbed in 1.9 hours I think) so this was fine. Period came after 3 days of stopping for monthly rest so became regular but holy sh!t did I put on weight in the first two months. Weight gain not permenant, is all gone now:) Started to clear up on chest by month 2, breakouts became more sporadic on face on month 3 but still relevant. My skin (on month 4 now) has become slightly less oily and scars are beginning to heal a little because my breakouts have become concentrated on my jaw line, chin and one cheek (not sure why its only this cheek, think its because I sleep on this side). Have not used it long enough to be completely sure, but definitely worth a try ladies. I am not sure why my back is still awful and continuously breaking out, the acne there must be being aggrevated by something else. For reference I use epiduo nightly with oilatum natural repair face cream (amazing and gentle) on top and wash with cetaphil/nivea skin cleaner when wearing makeup.
Month 1 - broke me out like a cray cray spotty disgusting person :( Do not even know how to describe it :( Anyway, it bought ALL the tiny bumpy closed comedones alll to whiteheads and a few very painful pustles. Absolutely horrendous.
Month 2 - smaller breakouts than last month. Still noticeable acne though plus some painful spots on cheek which I never get.
Month 3 - I now have muchhhhhh clearer skin where all the closed comedones USED to be. Don't get me wrong there is STILL a lot of hyperpigmention left after the world war 3 of zits but it is a lot SMOOTHER than before. STILL breaking out here and there though. Smaller zits than before as well. Still highly annoying.
Bottom line - I am 50/50 on this.
IF your acne IS definitely hormonal then this will be great for you. Nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend it your on artificial hormones and once you come off the pills acne is most likely going to come back. Also, a side note - in the beginning month 1/2 I was incredibly moody and stressed out at everyone. Defo the pills as I am a rather cheerful person.
Dianette has cleared my hormonal acne beautifully. However this took about 3 months and in those 3 months I broke out terribly, losing hope it would work for me several times but it eventually did work. I haven't had a spot in over a month and I used to breakout daily!
Here in the UK you can only be prescribed it for a few months and will have to switch to a different BCP soon but I hope this won't make my acne come back.
If you are taking dianette, be patient. It does work but takes a while.

ALEXANDER – The Genesee County Legislature this week approved a grant offer from the state Department of Transportation to complete financing for reconstructing aprons leading to the terminal at the county airport. It's preliminary work, now being completed, with plans for a new terminal next year.
Meeting in the town hall in its outreach program where sessions are held in different towns, the legislators approved a $120,000 transfer for the purchase of fuel. The airport now is the base for 62 planes, including Mercy Flight and state police helicopters in two of three corporate hangars.
Also accepted was a $36,000 federal highway grant. Hunt Engineers of Rochester will perform a horizontal curve study of county highways to meet new federal regulations on the placement of warning signs.

Defective Back-up Sensors?

Waterfowl hunters: You could die out there
by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission
The recent death of a Marysville hunter and the miraculous survival of his hunting partner illustrate the inherent danger of this foul-weather sport while providing some valuable lessons in what boating hunters can do to ensure their own safety.
Washington duck and goose hunters are enjoying the longest season they've had in many years, but along with that added hunting opportunity comes the added need for caution and common sense on the part of waterfowlers who hunt from a boat or use a boat to get to and from their hunting spots.
The hunters involved in the most recent fatal accident had launched a 15 1/2-foot boat on Port Susan Bay and headed west for Camano Island before daylight.
They were hunting in moderate winds (estimated at 15 to 25 knots) when the rough water apparently swamped their craft at about 9 a.m. The hunters, both in their twenties, and their two Labrador retrievers ended up in water. Both men were wearing life vests.
The survivor was in the water several hours before reaching shore on Camano Island's Barnum Point, according to the Island County Sheriff's Department. Besides the life vest that kept him afloat, he was wearing neoprene that no doubt provided the needed insulation to protect against hypothermia during his long ordeal.
Boating accidents involving waterfowl hunters are common in Washington. Those who end up in the water and have their day ruined by a soaking in ice-cold water, the loss of a shotgun or other equipment might not consider themselves lucky, but the consequences could be a whole lot worse.
At least one duck or goose hunter has died in a boating accident during each of the past three hunting seasons. Last year, four members of a six-man hunting party drowned in the Columbia River when their overloaded boat was swamped on a stormy November afternoon.
Using a boat during "good" waterfowl-hunting weather offers all the ingredients of a boating tragedy waiting to happen. The weather is cold and windy, the water rough and cold, the boat small and over-loaded, and disaster can strike in an instant.
Hunter/boaters should always keep these basic boating-safety points in mind:
Don't overload your boat. A boat loaded with hunters, dogs, decoys and other equipment can easily capsize or be swamped.
Wear a Coast Guard-approved life vest or float coat. A type I, type II, or type III personal flotation device is now required for every occupant of a boat in Washington waters. While the law requires only that PFD's be on board, good sense dictates that you put them on and keep them on.
Use the buddy system. Boating alone increases the chance of getting into a situation from which you can't escape.
Tell someone where you're going and when you'll return. In the event of an accident, wasted hours spent searching for you can mean the difference between survival or rescue and drowning or dying of hypothermia.
"If you hunt from a boat or use a boat to get where you hunt, you're a boater first and a duck or goose hunter second," said Mark Kenny, marine law enforcement specialist "Many hunters, in their enthusiasm, forget all about the basics of safe boating, and it costs some of them their lives."

6 Things That Should Not Be Distractions While At Work
Spending eight hours a day at work comes with certain compromises: putting other obligations on the shelf, leaving personal issues at home for the day and keeping your focus on the task at hand. For some of us, eight hours of shelving our lives could be problematic, especially when you are keeping up with the kids in case of emergencies, keeping current with the antics of your friends on Facebook and Twitter (or that of your favorite black women's website *winks*) and looking for your next job opportunity.
As a businesswoman, it's difficult when our lives and our daily concerns have to take a backseat, but it is necessary at times to get the job done. Keep in mind that these few things should not occupy your time and energy while at work. They could ultimately do more harm to your career than good:

I agree, especially with the personal/love life issue. I have outside issues but at my job I try to go in and out and that's it. Where I work we just sit there for hours and hours and make phone calls so most of us are on our phones because we sometimes get dead numbers (when no one picks up, busy signals, not in service) so while we're calling we just go on our cellular phones. What's funny is while I'm at my desk, 90% of the time I am on MN. Lol I love this site what can I say.

Paoli Hospital is committed to making sure that the most advanced and
compassionate health care will always be here when our community needs
it. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely directly on private
support to fulfill this commitment. Philanthropy has been at the very
heart of our hospital from the beginning. Without it, we would not have
been able to evolve into the organization we are today—nor can we become
the organization we must be for tomorrow.
In the past five years alone, the number of admissions to Paoli Hospital
has risen by 29 percent, visits to the Emergency Department have
increased by 36 percent, the surgeries performed rose by 25 percent, and
the number of births increased by a remarkable 98 percent. In addition,
from 2006 through 2015, the population within the Hospital's service
area is expected to increase by over 7.5 percent annually, one of the
fastest growing rates in the state.
Like other health care organizations, Paoli Hospital faces serious
declining reimbursements, shortages of critical caregivers (physicians,
nurses, pharmacists, and technicians), and medical liability cost
increases. Continuing advances in medical treatments and technology
require the hospital to make ongoing investments in new equipment and
training. Private support is essential if we are to continue delivering
first-rate health care for tens of thousands of our neighbors.
Paoli Hospital also provides health care for patients who lack health
insurance or do not otherwise have the ability to pay for services. In
cases of emergency medical needs, we provide care to all patients
regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. For non-emergency
care, it is our policy to provide free or discounted care for
medically-necessary services to those who meet eligibility requirements
and live in our service area.

The plot thickens ... and slithers.
Reptile specialist Gerald Andrejcak believes the snake making headlines for terrorizing New Jersey's Lake Hopatcong is not a boa constrictor, but a green anaconda. The expert told NJ.com he recently saw the snake in a boathouse and was able to determine it was an anaconda based on his expertise, but was told by local animal control officer Dale Sloat to keep the discovery a secret.
"It's a green anaconda," Andrejcak said. "I've known its species [since last week], but I was sworn to keep my mouth shut by local officials to avoid causing a panic. Now that there's a panic, I'm going on the record." (For the record, boas and anacondas are members of the same species.)
News of a giant snake gliding through the waters of New Jersey's largest lake has many residents concerned for their safety. Andrejcak and animal control officials have spent the past several weeks searching the lake, drainpipes and boathouses for the reptile, but have had no luck capturing the animal.
Andrejcak said when he first spied the snake, it looked to be about 15 to 16 feet. Unfortunately, the animal quickly dove underwater before he could apprehend it. Anacondas are the largest snakes in the world, according to National Geographic, with the ability to grow up to 29 feet long. Officials believe that the snake was once a pet, but was later released into the lake when it became too big.
"It's completely irresponsible," said Andrejcak. "You have options like reptile sanctuaries. If you're going to get a large snake, you have to educate yourself and research the adult size of the animal. There's a lot of research that needs to be done."
The reptile specialist says he is using his days off to search for the snake free of charge, in hopes he can safely remove the animal from the lake before it finds a hiding spot to hole up in. Meanwhile, social media snake fans can follow the quippy creature on Twitter.

County Manager Tony Petelos was quoted in last Friday's Birmingham News concerning the most recent problem in selling the Jefferson County nursing home, "We feel like innocent victims in this." No, the innocent victims in this are the residents of the home who have had to wonder for more than two years where their home was going to be.
As The News article said, more than 100 residents have moved rather than live with that uncertainty in their future. This means they have had to once again leave their home and friends and try to start over somewhere else. Some have been unable to leave because, for various reasons, other homes won't take them.
It is unconscionable that our elders have been treated in such an uncompassionate way. This area is in need of a nursing home, and if Northport Holding had done the "right" thing, it would have invested its $24 million to renovate the Jefferson County home in Ketona, jobs would not have been lost, and residents could have remained in their home.
