Stop Telling Christian Singles What They Can't Do
However you invest yourself in them, non-romantic relationships — especially with those in different seasons of life — provide a good reminder that life entails much more than randy singlehood, and loneliness can be assuaged by more than a lover. Your singleness can help take others out of their seemingly endless, monotonous life stage, while providing you opportunities to serve and encourage them. After my grandfather had his first stroke, he needed a great deal of help transitioning into his new home routine. Because one of my brothers was single, he was able to fly up and provide essential support that blessed our entire extended family, not least of all the nearby relatives to whom he gave a brief respite from the burden of caring. Freedom to help like that is much rarer when your life is intimately intertwined with someone else's.
Live in community.
As much as I hope to be married someday I will really miss living with more than one adult. For most of the last six years, I've had the privilege of sharing a house with a rotating cast of others, most of whom have become dear friends. Though communal living unavoidably produces friction and conflict, in the best moments — usually an evening when we all wind up home at the same time, all in the kitchen — I want to hug myself with the joy at the laughter and various personality dynamics surrounding me. I always wanted community like this, but I didn't realize how often it requires living in such close proximity. As nice as it would be to someday "set up house" for my own family, I know I will greatly miss having housemates. Through the many memories we've shared, my housemates have given me one of the richest gifts of my adulthood.
Both of these suggestions pertain to relationships. This series on singleness will continue next week, when I'll discuss how abstinence frees us to explore and use our bodies.

School Safety
2015 School Safety Survey
Due: September 25, 2015
The Code of Virginia requires school divisions to complete an annual School Safety Survey in order to assess school safety conditions. As a means for collecting individual school safety audit information, the Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety (VCSCS) annually administers the Virginia School Safety Survey. This web-based survey provides all public schools (K-12) with a standardized report format for conducting and submitting their audit information.
2015-2016 – Annual Report for Discipline, Crime & Violence
Due: See submission dates below
The Code of Virginia requires school divisions to submit data to VDOE on incidents of discipline, crime and violence (DCV). Current reports contain selected comparisons to prior years. DCV data are used also to complete federal reports required by the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 (GFSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). GFSA requires annual reporting of the number of students suspended or expelled statewide for possessing or bringing firearms on school property. IDEA contains requirements for reporting disciplinary actions involving students with disabilities.
New for 2015-2016 (PDF)Beginning with the 2015-2016 school year, an annual DCV Updates and Reminders document will be provided. This will include important information regarding submission dates for the upcoming school year as well as any legislative or code changes. The Comprehensive User Guide will continue to be revised on an as needed basis.

Erie anti-bullying nonprofit back in spotlight
The cards, made from thin white paper folded in half, were everything second-grade art should be: full of bright rainbows, puffy red hearts and stick figures wearing triangles for dresses.
"When people look at rainbows, they're happy," said RaeLynne Bull, one of the card artists in Maria Ogeka's second-grade class at the Robert Benjamin Wiley Community Charter School. "When people look at hearts, they're very happy."
The cards are much more than an exercise in crayons and colored pencils.
They're part of a larger effort by the Ophelia Project to combat an age-old problem that continues to grab national headlines: bullying and relational aggression.
Ophelia, a national nonprofit based in Erie, aims to eliminate relational aggression -- behavior, like gossiping and rumor-spreading, that is intended to harm someone by damaging or manipulating their relationships with others -- through its Creating A Safe School program.
The K-12 program is designed to train everyone involved with students -- teachers, administrators, librarians, staff, parents and the larger community -- to stop relational aggression and help children feel safe going to school.
Ashley Behn, the CASS coordinator at the charter school, asked each of the students to write one of three phrases -- "I'm sorry," "Sorry," or "Friends again?" -- on their card, which Ogeka would keep until the student needs to apologize or "make it right" to a classmate.
The program is only offered at the East Lake Road charter school and at Our Lady's Christian School -- for now. Starting in fall, it will be offered at Erie's East High School and tailored for older students. If the nonprofit receives a grant it has applied for, the program could expand further.
The expansion is part of what Ophelia's new executive director is calling Ophelia's "renaissance": a renewed focus on Erie and the organization's role here.
"One of our goals ... is to find out where we can be of the best benefit to our community," said Misty O'Connor, who took the top job at the organization in February.
In the near term, O'Connor plans to start an Erie Youth Ambassadors program, in which high school students representing the city and each of the county school districts would travel to schools and after-school programs to speak about bullying and relational aggression. The nonprofit hopes to choose students for the mission within the next few weeks and begin training in summer for a fall start.
O'Connor also wants to host a workshop in August for teachers, offering training on new federally mandated anti-bullying laws. Plans are also in the works for a community event at the Bayfront Convention Center sometime in October that would serve as a fundraiser for the organization and provide a safe trick-or-treating space for children.
In October 2013, O'Connor hopes to bring educators and other community leaders together here for a national conference on relational aggression.
"My goal is to bring a national, positive awareness to Erie, to say 'Look at the safe culture we have here in Erie,'" O'Connor said.
The numbers are sobering
In a 2009 survey commissioned by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, 22 percent of Erie County students in grades six, eight, 10 and 12 said they had been hit, kicked, pushed or shoved around in the past year. An additional 49 percent said they had been called names, made fun of, or teased.
A full 56 percent said they had been the victims of other students' lies or false rumors, according to the 2009 Pennsylvania Youth Survey Report. Twelve percent said they had been sexually harassed on the Internet.
Statewide, 18 percent of students in those grades reported being hit, kicked, pushed or shoved; 43 percent said they had been called names or made fun of; and 51 percent had been victims of rumors or lies.
A new report from the commission with updated data is due to be released in June.
Bullying is not new, but there is growing awareness of its consequences.
A new feature-length documentary, "Bully," playing in theaters across the U.S. (though not yet in Erie) examines how bullying touches the lives of five students over the course of the 2009-10 school year.
The It Gets Better Project, an effort to encourage and support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teenagers who have been victims of bullying or other harassment, has become a worldwide movement.
Most recently, Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was accused of physically bullying a classmate while in high school.
Joel Haber, a New York-based clinical psychologist and national anti-bullying speaker, said he thinks the spotlight on Romney is misplaced. But the "Bully" documentary and anti-bullying efforts like It Gets Better are working and help children "not feel so isolated and alone."
"Most kids do find ways to deal with it themselves," said Haber, a published author on the topic who also is credited in "Bully." "It's when kids can't manage those things themselves that we need a lot more help and resources. ... The goal is to make this a national discussion."
The discussion continues in Ogeka's Room 42 at Robert Benjamin Wiley
Kathryn Olds, the school's principal and chief executive, said programs like CASS help students build safe relationships, which is critical to students' development.
"We say 'community' is our middle name, and the reason for that is we believe for children to do their best they have to feel safe and part of a community," Olds said.
After the students in Ogeka's classroom finished their "sorry" cards, Behn, the CASS coordinator, asked them to draw a picture representing how they would feel if they were the victims of aggression or bullying.
By the time Behn left, Rae Lynne Bull had learned a lesson. Bullying someone, she said, is hurting someone on purpose.
"When you bully someone, make it right," she said.

I believe you can make a very strong claim for Barrera winning. Marquez had more dominant rounds than Barrera did, and I think thats what sticks out in peoples' minds. But for most the rounds it was incredibly competitive, and a large amount of the early rounds could have gone either way.
Barrera also seemed to run out of gas as the fight went on, and Marquez definitely closed stronger than Barrera. But for a large portion of the early parts of the fight, Barrera was busting up Marquez's face pretty bad.
not to mention the mess where Barrera was not awarded a very, very obvious knockdown.

The only thing Barrera did better in that 3rd round was jab, but Marquez landed harder, more often and more consistently.

i disagree, i dont know the compubox stats but it seems they landed about the same number of power punches while it seemed that marquez threw more. id say they were even for the round other then barrera doing an excelent job of slipping marquez's power punches and landing with the jab, so i give it to him.
here they are
so 11 out of 30 and 19 out of 44 37% vs 43%
guess power punches went that even
jabs though were
15 out of 36 and 3 out of 23 or 42% to 13%
given this i still feel the same but less emphasis on the slipping power punches and more on beating him with the jab.

Compubox is bull****, I forget some exact examples, but at times they're just ridiculous, I learned not to look at them anymore.

Insights into potato innovation systems in Bolivia, Ethiopia, Peru and Uganda
In the last 50years, theoretical and practical approaches to promoting agricultural innovations have been evolving. Initial innovation diffusion theories led to a linear, top-down approach of technology transfer. However, changes occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, such as the economic structural adjustment which caused a dramatic decrease in governmental agricultural research and extension services in several developing countries. Simultaneously a number of new stakeholders (NGOs, private companies, farmer organizations, local governments, etc.) started to contribute to agricultural innovations more actively in the 1990s and 2000s. As the changes occurred, scholars began proposing new theories, such as the innovation systems approach, to explain how multiple stakeholders interact, exchange information, generate knowledge and develop innovations for solving problems. The paper describes the results of a rapid appraisal of potato innovation systems in Bolivia, Ethiopia, Peru and Uganda. The method was useful for identifying components and limitations in the system at pilot sites. Results indicate that the systems had similar types of components, namely national and local government organizations, NGOs, private companies, farmer organizations and media; another common feature was the limited interaction among organizational components, which reduced farmer access to information, technologies, organizations, markets and services. However, the role of organizational components was different across countries. Farmer organizations played a limited role at the pilot sites in these countries, except in Bolivia. The role of national governments was also limited in Bolivia and Peru, but played a major role in Ethiopia and Uganda at the moment of the study. Local governments were starting to play an important role in the four sites. NGOs played an active role in most countries, and the private companies in charge of input supply were more active in Bolivia and Peru. Media (radio) were present, but they were not contributing significantly to disseminating information for innovation. The International Potato Center (CIP) was present in all the systems, playing a role of innovation brokerage. Results indicate that different types of intervention would be needed for each country to strengthen the roles that components were already playing, but should look for improving interactions among components. In Ethiopia, strengthening innovation capacity of potato-related government organizations would be desirable to start the process, but in Bolivia, Peru and Uganda, enhancing interactions and coordination among government organizations, NGOs, private companies and farmer organizations would be needed, for example, to improve farmer access to quality planting material and markets. The role of farmer organizations and the private companies in charge of input supply need to be strengthened in the potato innovation systems in all places. The rapid appraisal of potato innovation systems has shown to be a method with potential to start understanding the complexity of the innovation systems and identify potential entry points for interventions.

Spirit Awards an Oscar predictor? Local nominees lose
"The Artist" swept the Spirit Awards ceremony Saturday winning best picture, best actor for Jean Dujardin and best director for Michael Hazanvicius.
Many, including myself, expect it to win the same awards tonight.
The only difference will be that Dujardin's Spirit Award competition did not include George Clooney, an Oscar nominee for best actor nominee in best picture nominee "The Descendants." »Read Full Blog Post

Apple Wary of Ogg Theora: No Agreement Yet on HTML5 Video Standard
Firefox 3.5 and Chrome already support the new video tag of the HTML5 specification. Before it can become a standard, though, more browsers makers have to agree on the codec.
The major browser vendors are having trouble agreeing on an enconding format for the new HTML<video> tag. As Ian Hickson explains in the whatwg.org mailing list, he removed the two subsections in the HTML5 spec regarding video and audio due to this nonagreement. Hickson summarizes the current situation as follows:
- Apple refuses to implement Ogg Theora in QuickTime by default in Safari, complaining of lack of hardware support and patent issues.
- Google implemented H.264 and Ogg Theora in Chrome, but can't hand off the H.264 codec license to third-party Chromium distributors from the "belief that Ogg Theora's quality-per-bit is not yet suitable for the volume handled by YouTube."
- Opera refuses to implement H.264 because of the high patent license costs.
- Mozilla is going the same route due to the costs to downstream distributors.
- Microsoft has not as yet commented on the issue.
Microsoft's noncommitment may end up making Ogg Theora the favorite for the upcoming HTML5 standard. Meanwhile, while Apple alleges having no patent claims on Ogg Theora, it fears that it may be filed against if it included the codec in QuickTime, according to an article in InfoWorld.com.
XiphQT solves that problemJobs (and Ballmer for that matter) can stamp their little feet and complain all they want, but it doesn't mean the rest of the internet has to obey their wills.
XiphQT is legally free from Xiph and adds support for Ogg/Theora/Vorbis(Speex/Flac...) to Quicktime - encoding as well as decoding, and that includes HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags, allowing Apple users to participate with the rest of us.
I'd add here (as I seem to be compelled to do everywhere this comes up) that there IS also a <audio> tag to go with <video>. Sure, it's not unreasonable to argue that Theora isn't quite as pretty as patent-encumbered "de-facto" video standard of H.264, the "de-facto" standard for audio right now is MP3, and Vorbis IS a genuine quality improvement over it.
Also, It's a heck of a lot easier for participants on the net to produce their own audio than to produce video. While news stories are busy focussing on HTML5 as "internet TV" because of the <video> tag, I'm hoping for a wealth of peer-produced audio content to start showing up.

Re: ICW
Before reviewing your show, I must say, I really like the idea of having this small a roster to start a fictional promotion under the guidance of Ric Flair (how about calling on JJ Dillon for the booking?).
Anyhow, just as a side note, maybe it's not too late for you to change your tv format of shows to having monthly shows. Someone already pointed that out and I think he's right.
Ohh well, here goes my review.
ICW TV - Episode 001 Review
Segment 1 (Opening) = (Interesting choice for a broadcast team, Mean Gene's done some play by play before but, I don't think he's that up to date with all the moves that have emerged on the scene, but Macho as color guy is quite cool) The show rundown gave us a good idea of what was to come.
Segment 2 (Gangrel V. Road Dogg) = Okay match, they're both pretty much past their prime, and no one could really carry this match for the other, although BG can still sell his ass off. Wasn't the best opening match for a new company, still, it was what it was I guess. I'm just really perplexed as to whether or not Mean Gene had his glasses on when he clearly saw three people covered in blood on the outside and reacting to that as if it was common knowledge that once a match ends, the lights go out and you get yourself covered in blood.
Segment 3 (Konna's Shoot... I mean Interview) = When I saw Konnan's name in there, in your roster I mean, I was again a bit perplexed. Do we know for sure that his health his good enough for him to participate in any action, especially hardcore action. What was a bit sad to see was how bland Raven was. I guess that's what you get for signing a deal with CW... restrictions...
Segment 4 (Gunn V. Goldust) = Let's face it, Skye & Love with Gunn is a nice addition to their persona. But, honestly, Gunn doesn't need Skye. Ohh well, maybe it saved this match a bit to have such a nice butt walking around ringside. But, there's no doubt that these two guys are still good workers, the match wasn't bad, but, felt rushed a bit and not emotionaly charged like the type of match they can produce in 5-10 minutes.
Segment 5 (Hall/RVD V. Kane/Test) = Weird pairings, but, it really doesn't matter since the whole point of this is to soon crown your first ICW World Champ. It was easy to see that Hall & RVD were going to win from the start since no one wants to see Test as World Champ of any company, period. Every turned out quite okay match wise, although in a situation like this, RVD can't shine, which is bad because I feel he's maybe your most marketable star and the one the company should be built around for the Intensity that is. So cool, RVD V. Hall next week but... having Hall & RVD shake hands after the match... they must have been so damn high because if they look back at the tape of that, they'll both see that they're in the wrong company doing stuff like that. Especially considering Hall should have been made the heel by refusing or attacking RVD to create and build heat around that whole moment.
Overall = Mate, I won't lie to you, there's some work to be done here. First bit of advice is... when doing promos, try and find videos on youtube to get acquainted with the kind of promos each individual does. Or else, it's generic-city and there's no individuality promo after promo.
Your matches aren't too bad and you'll only get better as you get to write more of them. At least you got the shortness of said matches right considering you had three in a 1hour (publicity filled, I'm sure) show.
And maybe try finding someone to replace Mean Gene, the guy's a great interviewer but is subpar as a play-by-play guy and I'm sure he'd be the first one to tell you that. What about the recently fired Gabe Sapolsky (aka Jimmy Bauer aka Chris Lovey), I'd love to hear him and Macho do broadcasting duties on your show.

I bought 28 pairs for a Middle School Pep Rally. We have to inflate them the night before and many of them did not last inflated and it was not even 24 hrs. Some of them pop during the activity and others were simply flimsy all the time. The kids had fun but would have been nice to have a good set of Bam Bam to take home as a souvenir.

But other than the trips to warm destinations for tailgating and getting one more chance to watch Kellen Moore play, what are the top 50 things to love about college football's bowl season?
This list runs them down, from more proof that the BCS sucks to which bowl matchup should be the sixth BCS game.

Comments Thread For: Team Alexander: If Khan Wants Next, He Can Get It!
An article recently ran on BoxingScene.com that stated that former junior welterweight champion Amir Khan was interested in facing the winner of the fight between his fellow countryman Kell Brook and American Devon Alexander, who holds the IBF welterweight crown. The fight is scheduled to take place on January 19th at a venue in the United States to be determined.

''If Khan wants it he can get it'' when he's been the one begging for the fight.

I'm sorry, but Alexander would get molly whopped. He doesn't have the punching power, gas tank, or even the mental fortitude to go all 12 with Khan. Not saying Khan is some sort of monster, but Alexander is that weak to me.

Alexander and Khan has faced top opposition, Brook hasn't faced anybody. Brook was awarded a questionable decision with a sparring partner(Carson Jones). Alexander vs Khan in May or June.

No fan of Khan really but he beats Devon. Devon is just so overrated to be honest. I give him props for taking Baileys shots but Devon is just boring to watch and does the same grunting 1-2-3 combo BS over and over again. I think Brook may put it on Devon big time and I hope so!

My sun shade was for a 2008 Ford F250 truck. The shade covers about 95% of the windshield and seems to keep the car cooler in the Arizona sun than cheaper and flimsier shades I've used. The only downside is that this shade is stiff and a little hard to get in and out of the windshield area.

Charles Baudelaire was born in Paris on 9 April 1821 to François Baudelaire, a sixty-three-year old widower, and Caroline Baudelaire (née Dufaÿs), aged twenty-eight. His father, a former priest and a talented lover of art, died in 1827. Baudelaire's widowed mother married a military man, Jacques Aupick, in 1828. Baudelaire, his mother and stepfather spent four years in Lyons, because of Aupick's posting, but only one person really counted in the life of Baudelaire – his mother. In January 1836, the family moved to Paris. Later that year, Baudelaire was expelled from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and switched to the Lycée Saint-Louis. At this time, he went through money like water. His …

Clean & comfortableClean & comfortable, friendly staff, all you really need after a 500 mile drive and an early start in the morning. Not a lot of nearby restaurants were open when we arrived though (just past 9 PM).Rating:5
nice stayI stayed 2 nights at the Red Lion, and had no complaints. The bed was very comfortable, everything worked in the room, and best of all, the shower head was about 6 1/2 feet high. Very nice for a person almost 6 feet tall. Also, its right down the street from a Safeway that has a great salad bar/deli/coffee shop.Rating:3
Fine for businessNothing fancy or new but clean and was able to get a pretty reasonable rate. I would consider this 2 1/2 stars.Rating:5
Cant wait to go back to Missoula .The Qualiy of the Hotel in Missoula vary good. Thank youRating:5
Good serviceI was impressed by the helpfulness and professional attitude of the hotel staff. I would definitely stay at the Red Lion should business take me there again.Rating:4
Older, But Well-LocatedWe enjoyed the beds, the breakfast, and the location close to downtown Missoula. I missed having a bathtub, but we would definitely stay again.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksThe cost of this hotel was very reasonable.Rating:3
GOOD PLACE TO SAYThe motel room was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the pool and loacation was easily accessible from the freeway. Good place to stay when visiting Missoula and inexpensive.
Travelers tip on getting the most out of your stayThe pool was a plus and will be enjoyed by the whole family.Rating:4
Very GoodEnjoyed the opportunity to bring our pet with us, and the hot was great! The Safeway store is within walking distance too.Rating:1
Would not go back-Greeted by unidentified stomach contents on the sidewalk in front of the lobby -The room was dirty and outdated. --The garbage can had not been emptied which called into question all the rest of the room cleaning. --The was "something" on the bathroom floor and hair in the shower. -The beds looked like they had been freshly slept in.Rating:5
Best Hotel yetI had a wonderful time staying at the Red Lion Inn, would recommend it to anyone.
Travelers tip on getting the most out of your stayThere was alway something going on, places to see that were near byRating:4
ok1 ice machine out of order. missoula water park - nice and economical.Rating:3
Needs room updatesThe room was comfortable and clean and the bed was comfy,but small details need attention The room had a damp and musty smell, wallpaper peeling in shower area. Also the comfortable chair could use a cleaning. Would recommend a small mini refrig in room.
Travelers tip on local attractionsThe river running thru town is great and they have several restaurants with outdoor eatingRating:4
Great location.Within walking distance of downtown and close to the university if you have a student. Its close to the interstate but thats not apparent as far as noise goes. The continental breakfast is very nice including waffles, breakfast burritos and the regular. The employees are very pleasant. Looks like a very nice pool and hot tub even tho I didnt use them. Overall, a very pleasant place to stay.
Travelers tip on local attractionsI love the markets on Sat. in the summer.Rating:4
would stay there again"We got a good deal through expedia. There was pop left in the room by former person and that was still there."
Travelers tip on local attractionsMissoula is a great town. We especially enjoyed going to the ice cream place on the corner-I think it was called the Big Dipper.Rating:5
will use this hotel again and again!!we were very happy when we arrived at the Red Lion Inn Missoula, i had booked our stay through expedia.con and did not know this hotel at all. Your beds are the most comfortable beds we have ever had traveling...thank you for thinking of the weary traveler!!! make sure to have ice cream at The big dipper!Rating:4
Great dealI was in town to visit family and this hotel was very comfortable, room was clean, well appointed and quiet. Good bed. Absolutely will stay here again. No negatives!Rating:5
Go Griz!!my son and I attended registeration at the Univ. of Montana and found this hotel an excellent place to stayed. Room was clean, large, quiet and safe - open door for fresh montana air. We liked the out door enterance. Pool was clean. Breakfast adequate. Internet service. Will stay here again.Rating:5
Great Hotel In MIssoulaStaff was couteous and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely go back and stay.Rating:5
Very pleasant, comfy mattressVery clean, great views, friendly staff, surprised at the comfortable mattress. Only beef - the continental breakfast could be a little better.
Travelers tip on local attractionsGive frisbee golf a try while youre here.Rating:5
Good ValueThis is the best value in Missoula. Clean room, courteous staff, breakfast was on a par with Hampton etc. I would recommend this to anyone who has business in Missoula. Not as nice as the Doubletree or Hoilday Inn but half the price.Rating:3
not horrible, but nothing specialHotel was comfortable enough, but nothing spectacular. Pillows were kind of flat and mattress a little too soft, but overall, not too bad. Only real complaint was that there was no refrigerator in the hotel room. We had to convert our ice bucket into a makeshift cooler to have even cold drinks.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksbring a cooler to store anything refrigerated; there is no fridge and you can use the ice machine to keep it stocked with ice.Rating:3
Expected More From Red LionThe motel was old, but it showed its age. Bed was hard, and I just expected more than I received. Other Red Loins Ive stayed at in Ontario, CA and Elko, NV were had more quality to the stay.Rating:4
Good hotel for the priceThe location of the hotel is very good. Right next to a brand new Safeway and within walking distance of the trendy downtown area, the river walk and trails. The "hotel" is in "motel format" -- each room is entered from the exterior. If you dont like this style, you may not want to stay here. My room was on the ground floor and was a bit dark and a little musty at first. Otherwise, I would give this hotel high marks and will probably stay there again. The staff were very courteous and responsive and breakfast was good.
Travelers tip on local attractionsMake sure you take advantage of the free carousel ticket they give you the first day -- its only a few minutes away and worth visiting!Rating:4
Comfortable and convenientBreakfast was decent. Room was comfortable. Yes, would stay there again.Rating:4
Nice experienceThe hotel was very nice and the rooms comfortable. The staff was helpful. The Sunday morning breakfast was over at 9 a.m which I thought was a tad early for a Sunday...we had to hurry to make it and the food was wisked away at 9 sharp. Other than that, it was a pleasurable experience.

Raise Your Mug High and Rejoyce, Pumpkin Spice Season is Back!
Pretty much all of this past week's Hawk Morning Show was powered by the forgotten bag of pumpkin spice coffee I found deep in the back of my pantry. It was like Christmas when I found it. I almost cried.

Heavy duty commercial entrance mats from MatsEtc.com are an essential first step to a cleaner building. Properly placed, heavy duty entrance mats will stop dirt at the door keeping your establishment cleaner and more presentable while actually lowering your overall cleaning cost. In addition they can also aid in the prevention of costly and painful slip and fall accidents.
Entrance mats come in a wide variety of styles and quality. The term commercial means that they are manufactured to withstand far greater volumes of foot traffic than cheaper, store bought mats. Just like in fine linens or other fabrics the thread counts and weights of the yarns will be much higher in a commercial grade entrance mat so they will last much longer. We have some clients in the local are like the Westborough Town Hall and Westborough High School that have 117 Heritage Rib™ and 118 Arrow Trax™ mats still in service that they purchased from us over 10 years ago.
Your new commercial matting will work better if you use your mats correctly. There needs to be a system in place that removes dirt and moisture from your feet but this requires a series of different style mats to work effectively.
First you need an outdoor mat whose job is to remove the heavy dirt, snow and contaminates from the soles of your shoes. These mats are non-absorbent and are usually a scraping mat. Next comes the foyer area where a combination scraping and drying mat is used. This mat removes the finer particles of dirt and snow, etc. and begins the drying process. Finally is the indoor mat which is designed to finish the drying process. Sometimes this type of multiple mat system is not possible so you'll want the interior mat to be as long in length as possible. Questions about commercial entrance mats? Give us a call. We can help.
Celebrating close to 30 years in the commercial & industrial mat industry. You can put your trust in us.

IDF Targets Terrorist Responsible for Eilat Rocket Fire
In a joint operation of the IDF and the ISA (Israel Security Agency, or Shin Bet security service), a Global Jihad-affiliated terrorist has been targeted by an IAF aircraft in the northern Gaza Strip, in retaliation for rocket fire aimed at Israel. A direct hit was confirmed.
The targeted terrorist was Hithem Ziad Ibrahim Masshal, a 24-year-old resident of the Shati Refugee Camp.
On April 17, 2013, Masshal was involved in the Shura Council organization's firing of rockets at the southern Israeli city of Eilat.
Masshal was active in different Jihad Salafi terror organizations and over the past few years has been a key terror figure, specializing in weapons and working with all of the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip.
Masshal manufactured, improved and traded different types of ammunition. He specialized in rockets and explosive devices, which he sold to terror organizations. He assisted the Shura Council of the Mujahaideen in Jerusalem, an organization consisting of Salafi operatives under the Global Jihad, and he was involved in extensive terror activity against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.IDF Spokesperson's Office

A well trained group of counselors comes to my class once a week for four weeks and works with my 4th grade students on resisting peer pressure. The children value their time with these adults. They are positive role models and were able to relate very well to the children.

Shane Spencer Falls Victim To Hoax
NEW YORK -- Former New York Yankees outfielder Shane Spencer was the victim of a hoax in which an impersonator called an Albany radio station on Monday and made steroid allegations involving the Yankees teams Spencer played on between 1998 and 2002.
A podcast of the interview, with host Mike Lindsley of ESPN Radio 104.5 The Team, remained on the station's website until nearly 6 p.m. Tuesday until it was taken down after the hoax was discovered.
By then, the content of the interview -- the bogus "Spencer'' claimed to have taken steroids as a Yankee -- had reached the Yankees clubhouse; Derek Jeter, whose name was mentioned by the hoaxster, listened to it shortly before Tuesday's game against the Angels and had Charlie Wonsowicz, the Yankees head video coordinator, call the real Shane Spencer in the clubhouse of the Somerset Patriots of the independent Atlantic League, for whom he serves as the hitting coach.

Dec. 5, 2013
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University women's lacrosse squad released its 2014 schedule on Thursday. The team will face seven squads that finished 2013 ranked in the top 20 nationally as well as eight NCAA Tournament qualifiers. The Hoyas will have a good mix of strong opponents as well as some new conference foes as the coaching staff has once again put together a challenging slate.
Georgetown will start off 2014 by hosting the University of Delaware Blue Hens at Multi-Sport Field on Feb. 15. A season ago, Georgetown downed the Blue Hens in the season opener on the road by a score of 16-12. It will mark the third-consecutive season the Hoyas begin the year with Delaware.
The Blue & Gray will have its toughest stretch of the schedule facing five NCAA Tournament teams and four ranked teams over the next five games with four on the road.
Georgetown will play at Towson University on Feb. 22, facing an NCAA-Tournament qualifier. This will be the beginning of a tough three-game road trip including stops at Princeton (Mar. 1), which finished the season at No. 18 and in the NCAA Tournament, as well as Duke which was No. 7 in the final poll and an NCAA Tournament quarterfinalist.
The Hoyas will host Stanford on Mar. 9 after a No. 14 finish in the polls with an NCAA Tournament appearance. The tough stretch will conclude with the 2013 NCAA Champions from North Carolina on Mar. 15 in Chapel Hill, N.C.
GU will return home on Mar. 21 to host Johns Hopkins which begins a stretch of three-consecutive home games. The Blue & Gray will host Loyola (Md.) on Mar. 25, the Greyhounds were No. 10 in the final poll and went to the NCAA Tournament. To round out the homestand, Georgetown will open BIG EAST Conference playing host to Louisville on Mar. 29.
The Hoyas finish non-conference play with Penn on Apr. 1 playing at a neutral site in Owings Mills, Md. The Quakers were No. 17 in the polls and went to the NCAA Tournament a season ago.
BIG EAST Conference matchups will end the season as the Blue & Gray hosts Marquette on Apr. 4. A trip to No. 20 Connecticut, a 2013 NCAA qualifier, is scheduled for Apr. 11 followed by a game at Rutgers on Apr. 13.
Georgetown will finish up the home schedule with matchups against Villanova (Apr. 17) and Temple (Apr. 19). The season finale is scheduled at Cincinnati on Apr. 26.
The BIG EAST Tournament semifinals will be held on May 1 and the championship will be on May 3 at Multi-Sport Field.
The Hoyas lost nine players from last year's squad that returned the Blue & Gray to the NCAA Championship. Georgetown earned the sixth seed and a first round bye in the 2013 NCAA Championship. GU compiled a 13-6 overall record and a 6-2 mark in BIG EAST play. Georgetown returns four of its top five scorers along with three of four starting defenders in 2014.

Wednesday, January 15, 2014
United States Attorney Bill Nettles has announced that Latasha Failey, 30, of North Charleston, was sentenced in federal court in Charleston, for fraudulent tax preparation.
United States District Judge Richard M. Gergel of Charleston sentenced Failey to 12 months imprisonment and one year supervised release.
Evidence presented at the guilty plea established that Failey owned and operated Failey's Tax Service, a tax preparation business in North Charleston. Failey caught the attention of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after an IRS fraud detection center identified a pattern of suspicious deductions on the tax returns that she prepared.
Based on this information, a search warrant was executed at Failey's business in March 2011, and her client files were seized. After a thorough investigation, the IRS identified at least 145 false tax returns prepared by Failey and her employees in 2009-2011.
These fraudulent tax returns caused a tax loss of approximately $500,000 to the U.S. Treasury.
Assistant United States Attorney Rhett DeHart of the Charleston office prosecuted the case. The case was investigated by agents of the IRS-Criminal Investigative Division.
