The AFC North might not be the best division in the NFL but it's certainly one of the toughest. Playing Pittsburgh and Baltimore twice a year is enough to make any team battle-hardened.
Marvin Lewis did an amazing job leading his team to a division title following a 10-6 season marred by tragedy with the deaths of receiver Chris Henry and Vikki Zimmer, wife of Defensive Coordinator Mike Zimmer. For his efforts, Lewis was named 2009 NFL AP Coach of the Year.
With a few upgrades at key positions, Cincinnati is primed to make a run at the AFC Championship in 2010.
Carson Palmer's window of playing in his prime is shrinking and besides Chad Ochocinco and a dependable running game, he needs more weapons.
Chase Coffman is a decent receiving option but the Bengals are becoming a more balanced running team with the steady play of Cedric Benson. With that, Coffman is somewhat of a liability as a blocker and Cincinnati needs a tough, sure-handed tight end to give Palmer a checkdown option.
The Lavernaues Coles experiment hasn't gone according to plan and Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell are both quick, potentially solid, slot receivers and depth options.
Mike Zimmer is assembling an aggressive, opportunistic defense along with a tough-minded mentality.
Dhani Jones has been steady but he's entering his 10th season and is on the wrong side of 30. He still has another year, at least, though before Rey Maualuga moves over from the strongside linebacker position.
Both cornerback spots are set with the emergence of Jonathon Joseph and Leon Hall. Joseph enjoyed his best season to date with six picks in '09. Hall, the Bengals other 25-year old corner also had his best year, grabbing six interceptions and forcing two fumbles.
Taking Michael Johnson in the third round of the 2009 draft may turn out to be one of the true steals of that draft. He had three sacks during his rookie season and at 6'7" with excellent speed, Johnson might be a pass-rushing terror in the AFC North for years to come.
Roy Williams and his fragile forearm were a big disappointment and he's not going to garner much attention in free agency. Both safety positions are the weakest parts of the Bengals defense.

Armenia's economy has undergone a profound transformation since independence in 1991 Sustained growth, ambitious first generation transition reforms, as well as inflows of capital and remittances have created a market-oriented environment. However, the global financial crisis of 2008/09 had a significant negative impact on the country and eroded some of the welfare gains.
Double digit growth rates of pre-crisis period were replaced by an average 4.0% rate after the crisis. A moderate 3.2% growth in 2013, was followed by 3.5 percent in 2014 which then slowed down to 3 percent in 2015. Positive results from agriculture, mining, and tourism were diminished by sluggish manufacturing and other services. In the medium term, it is expected that economic growth will slow down further to approximately 2-2.5% for the next years before it slowly recovers to the 2015 level of 3 percent by 2018. To support economic activity the government implemented a relatively large fiscal stimulus in 2015 which expanded the fiscal deficit to about 4.9 percent of GDP and pushed up the public debt to nearly 50 percent of GDP. To restore a sustainable macroeconomic framework the government will need to embark on medium-term fiscal consolidation path and reduce the deficit to below 3 percent by the end of the medium term.
The key challenge for the government is to sustain growth in an unfavorable external environment within the constrained fiscal space. The country is confronted with the need to maintain a sustainable fiscal framework in the face of increased debt level and debt service obligations, falling foreign investments and compressed public investments, and sluggish economic growth.
With an estimated per-capita GDP of US$ 3,898 (GNI, 2015), Armenia is a lower middle-income country. Remittances from migrant workers that play an important role in Armenia's economy, dramatically decelerated in 2015 as the Russian economy entered into recession severely constraining the domestic demand which in turn affected the country's import of consumer goods. The latter led to a substantial decline of imports in 2015 and this trend continued throughout the beginning of 2016 and helped to improve the trade and current account balances. The improved current account balance is expected to be observed throughout the medium term as exports picks up and the decline in remittances bottom out in 2016.
The effect of the global economic crisis on poverty in Armenia has been dramatic—the national poverty rate increased from 27.6 percent in 2008 to 35.9 percent in 2009 and down to 30 percent in 2014. The geography of poverty in Armenia shows substantial gaps between the capital city Yerevan (25.6 percent), rural areas (31.7 percent), and other urban areas (39.4 percent). Income from labor markets, in combination with remittances and public transfers – such as well targeted social expenditure and pensions - contributed substantially to poverty reduction amidst a languished economic growth of the post-crisis period. Despite strong agricultural growth, the domestic labor market deteriorated due to limited job creation in other sectors compounded by the large-scale return of migrant workers from Russia. The unemployment rate rose from 17.5 percent in Q3 2014 to 18.2 percent in Q3 2015.

Very small on the lower half
For fancy dress the quality is fine, the biggest problem was how small it came up on the bottom half. I'm a 10 - 12 and I ordered the medium which is a 12 and this was so tight around my thighs. I would say you would need to go a size up but then the top half will probably be too big!

Bank sues Eddie Montgomery over failed restaurant
Country music star Eddie Montgomery is facing legal troubles over his shuttered Mercer County restaurant.
Eddie Montgomery's Steakhouse closed abruptly in May.
Central Bank and Trust Co. of Lexington sued Montgomery and his ex-wife, Tracy Nunan, in Boyle Circuit Court, claiming the couple owes nearly $12.7 million to pay off loans related to the business.
Montgomery and Nunan personally guaranteed repayment of several loans when it the restaurant opened in 2009.
Montgomery was half of the duo Montgomery Gentry, which had a string of hits for Columbia Records' Nashville division between 1999 and 2008, including "Lucky Man" and "Something to Be Proud of."
Neither Montgomery nor Nunan could be reached for comment.

We serve more than 12,000 girls in 15 counties. These girls come from very different backgrounds, communities they live in and programs they want to do. Highlighted below by County are some of the wonderful stories that our Girl Scouts have done this past year:
Albany – A Junior Troop earned their Bronze Award by assessing the flags in the South Colonie School District. They alerted their school superintendent, who ordered brand new flags for every classroom.
Clinton – A Brownie Troop held a Teddy Bear Drive and collected 100's of small stuffed animals and teddy bears that were donated to the two local Emergency Squads in their communities. The Squad Directors stated they had enough stuffed animals to give out to sick kids for the next 20 years. The extra animals were donated to a church bizarre.
Columbia – After visiting the Columbia-Greene Humane Society to earn their Animal Try-It by learning animal safety, a Brownie Troop donated ½ of their cookie profits to the Humane Society.
Essex – Three Troops, Brownie, Cadette and Junior worked on a Genealogy Project to put together a family tree. From this project, they research family recipes and created a cookbook that was sold to raise funds for a trip to New Hampshire to visit the Heritage Museum and go on a whale watch.
Franklin – To help the Senior Citizens in their community, a Senior/Ambassador Troop designed and made over 90 gift cards with matching envelopes that they put in small packets and donated.
Fulton – A group of troops planned, planted and distributed the items from a community garden. The girls did all of the planning including approaching the city board about using the land. They gave their produce to the local food pantry and sold it at the Farmer's Market.
Greene – A troop actually started a food pantry in a local town. The pantry is open on Fridays from 2:30-4:00 PM. The girls also drop food off to families that are too shy to ask for help.
Hamilton – The girls participated in parades, collected food for the local food pantry and helped out at community events.
Montgomery – Troops in this area help out at the local historical museum, The Walter Elmond. This museum moved during the past year into the Guy Johnson State Historic Site.
Rensselaer – A troop spent three years planning and fundraising to take a trip to Washington D.C. for five days in August. The troop visited many of the national monuments, went to four of the Smithsonian Museums, and had a tour of the Capitol and Senate Chambers and much more. They are thankful to all of the local business that supported their fundraising efforts.
Saratoga – For their Gold Award, a troop created a computer class for seniors that taught basis computer skills through presentation and one-on-one interaction. The seniors did not want it to end!
Schenectady – The troops host a Nickel Carnival every year in February. This past year, the attendance was over 150 people. All of the activities are planned by the troops and they give the money earned to the Juliette Low Friendship Fund. This is a National Fund that helps to pay for girls that travel to different countries.
Schoharie – For the summer, the troops plan Summer Fun Days for themselves. They do lots of out of doors events.
Warren – A Cadette Troop made food for a Habitat for Humanity House Project. They cooked all the food and delivered it to the site. They have also done this for the Vets House.
Washington – A couple of troops did a project called Stuff a Bus to benefit the Granville Food Pantry. On a Saturday, they accepted non-perishable items and money donations.

In his first journey of 1594 he discovered the Orange Islands and reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya, having encountered polar bears and walruses.

When coming in for an appointment at JAG Physical Therapy, be sure to bring proper forms of identification, as well as insurance cards, payment information, and your doctor's referral. Wearing loose fitting clothes allows the patient to easily expose the area that needs to be treated. Each treatment can last anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes, depending on the techniques and treatments utilized. More than half of Americans are suffering from pain, but many are unaware that physical therapists are not only well equipped to treat pain, but will focus treatment on the source of the pain, in hopes of reducing or relieving pain for an extended period of time. Each person who receives treatment at JAG Physical Therapy has a customized treatment plan designed specifically for their injury, that also takes into account things like age, body type, and general health.
Many people overlook physical therapy following an injury or surgical treatment because they don't want to experience pain, and would rather heal on their own. JAG's physical therapists design a treatment program to help reduce pain and provide relief. There are instances where pain may be experienced during therapy, such as recovering range of motion after a shoulder or knee injury. It's vital to communicate any pain that you encounter during or after treatment to your physical therapist so they can make proper adjustments to your treatment.
There are dozens of types of treatments that JAG's physical therapists utilize to treat our patients. Depending on the location and severity of the injury, patients may find themselves receiving Cryotherapy to reduce swelling, performing Gait Training on parallel bars, utilizing electrical nerve stimulation to reduce pain, or receiving a massage to decrease scar tissue. Following the completion of your treatment program, it's not uncommon for a "flare up" to occur. Be sure to communicate that with your physical therapist, who can make the recommendation on whether to come back in for more treatment, or simply to adjust daily routines and activities.
JAG Physical Therapy has assisted thousands of patients in recovering from injury, operation, or getting back in shape following a physical limitation. JAG Physical Therapy is an official partner of the New Jersey Devils professional hockey team, as well as New York City FC, one of Major League Soccer's newest teams. JAG has locations in West Orange, Warren, Hackensack, Cedar Knolls, Union, Old Bridge, Woodbridge, Princeton, Holmdel, and Fairfield, New Jersey, as well as a New York City office on Madison Avenue in Manhattan.

NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk. Jr. and Summer, have reason to believe there's a connection here somewhere, but they also know they have very little time to find it before events escalate out of control.
Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived from that doomed mission, captain and crew perished to a man - and if Pitt and his colleague Al Giordino aren't careful, the very same fate may await them.
Filled with the breathtaking suspense and audacious imagination that have become his hallmarks, this is a tour de force - further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.
©2008 Clive Cussier ; (P)2008 Penguin Audiobooks
"Cussler is the best"
For those who love adventures that put you on the edge of your seat, this is terrific.
The story is rich in information. The twists and turns give you the feeling that our heros will never win. Then, just as all hope is gone, the solution is there. You can breath again.
Scott Brick does a great job defining the characters in the story. I so admire his articulation.
I would read any Cussler book and this one was great.
"Cussler does it again"
Once again Clive Cussler proves that his hero, Dirk Pitt, not only is a man of adventure, mystery and action but also timeless. Keeping with current events and evolving appropriately Cussler once again delivers a book I couldn't put down. I truly hope that he continues this series and anxiously await the next installment. A must read for a true Cussler and NUMA fan.
Avid Reader
"Others more worthy of praise"
There are so many Clive Cussler books that I would recommend. But not this one.
Of course I would I have read almost all of his work and found most to be very enjoyable.
The last couple of hours were.
"Heavy on the "green" agenda"
Most of his books have some amount of "green" agenda push, but this was over the top. It frequently felt like a global warming/ evil big business story was written, and then a couple of characters that we all love were added.
"Great story with a divisive political message"
Cussler is a talented writer. I've read or listened to so many of his books and love the adventures. But I would have preferred he didn't include such a divisive issue as global warming in his storyline.
"Good md but Not one of the best"
Enjoyable but slow at times. The performance was good and the characters did not disappoint
I love Cussler but this story seemed a little too predictable it wasn't as thrilling as the majority of Clive Cusslers other stories I love the Dirk Pitt series they are always interesting I just wish this one had more surprises like the usual twists and turns
"Too Typical View Of Canadians"
As a Canadian I found that he showed a typical American view of Canadians. Canadians aren't the weak, unimaginative and unintelligent people that need the American super hero's to save us from ourselves.
Always good
I normally love Clive Cussler and Scott Brick but I have to say that this time I'm disappointed. Let me just say that I'm from the Northwest Coast of BC and, although the research appears to have done, it was cursory at best. Though Kitimat does have the third largest deep-sea port in BC it is by no means the hub of activity the book makes it out to be. In fact, at times it feels like what Cussler meant was Prince Rupert given the descriptions.
The Bootlegger (another Cussler but about Isaac Bell instead)
As always he did a great job with the characterizations. I've often said that it's difficult to tell that it isn't the particular character (be it man or woman) talking when Scott Brick is narrating and this book is no exception. My one area of frustration is the clear lack of research on his part to make sure he's pronouncing Band and city names. Haisla should be pronounced Hai-zla and not Hai-eezla, and Tuktoyaktuk should be pronounced Tuk-toy-uk-tuk rather than Tuk-toy-ahh-tuk. As someone from Canada and the Northwest Coast in particular I found these pronunciations grating. A simple Google search would have given the correct pronunciations.
Not really, it took me 3 times the normal length of time to get through it and it felt like a bit of a chore.
"Great book and reader"
No, I don't read many books more than once.
The mystery and suspense
When the Delta Force team rescued the coast guard sailors

guys with this name are extremely kind, gentle and loving to everyone.There is a serenity, or calmness about them, no moodiness, or tempers flaring. This person cares deeply and shows this by the strong embrace or hug when greeting or saying goodbye to a friend. He is not judgemental or patronizing, but genuine in relationships with everyone. They love unconditionally each and every person and have no ill feelings towards anyone. This is a rare person, there are not many out there, but there are a few who are pure in heart and honestly close to perfection.

Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)

Interim Fire Chief Travis Myklebust said the fire that broke out Tuesday afternoon off of Linden Avenue burned extremely hot and fast.
When crews arrived, the structure was fully engulfed. That, paired with the fact that flammable liquids were inside, make it very difficult to figure out what started the blaze.
"The main reason is because of the extensive damage that was done," said Myklebust. "There's truly not much left of it. So we have no reason to expect suspicion, so the cause will be labeled as undetermined."
A cost estimate on the damage has yet to be determined. Myklebust said it's hard to really give a dollar amount because there were so many different items inside the buildings when they burned down.

By Mark D. Uehling
December 15, 2002 | It's the dirty little secret of scientific IT: the Excel spreadsheet. Who can say what it holds -- a miracle drug? A new gene? Lab staff bets on the Super Bowl?
PerkinElmer Inc., GeneData AG, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb, and a few other companies all want to change that. But any change must be approached gingerly, so as not to frighten bench researchers who cling to their spreadsheets the way some children guard their favorite blankets.
For a variety of companies, all presenting their latest wares at the recent Chips to Hits meeting in Philadelphia, the prospect of instrument data flowing automatically into analytical applications is looming just over the horizon. The issue is not whether Excel spreadsheets will ever be banished by decree, but whether more efficient tools could convince scientists to make a slow transition to applications that manage and analyze large datasets more effectively.
For starters, Agilent Technologies and Rosetta Biosoftware (a business unit of Rosetta Inpharmatics Inc.) made a joint announcement about the ultimate end-user: the FDA. The two companies say the forthcoming version of Rosetta Resolver, version 4.0, will be fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, the encyclopedic data-custody regulation, with data coming off Agilent instruments and promising to land in Resolver in an easily-audited, secure manner.
Other companies are also thinking about what happens to data both up- and downstream from a particular machine or software application. "We have one application that looks at all types of data," said Joseph Schambaugh, senior bioinformatics specialist at GeneData, citing new Refiner software that pre-processes information from oligo arrays, spotted arrays and commercial products from Affymetrix Inc. Everything goes directly into a GeneData database. Recognizing that some scientists like to get their hands dirty, tweaking their own algorithms, the software allows that.
ArrayInformatics, to take another example, is year-old software from PerkinElmer with new capabilities. The program takes data coming off PerkinElmer gene-expression equipment and passes them directly to applications that analyze the data. "You don't have to know how to use complicated data sets," says Robert Fleming-Jones, a bioinformatics specialist at PerkinElmer.
He notes the information goes directly from the scanner into an Oracle database. "It's an out-of-the-box solution that is very accessible and very easy to use. Once you press the start button, you end up with all the things you need in the database."
The ArrayInformatics software allows scientists to filter out low or noisy signals from microarrays, normalize the data across microarray experiments, standardize the data -- and even filter out uninteresting data. Says Fleming-Jones: "The users don't have to touch the data as it's coming off the machine. They just plug everything together in the LAN."
Having trained as a biochemist and an IT person, he is not unaware of the continuing popularity of spreadsheets, and understands that some scientists will be unwilling to let go of their favorite file format. "You can grab the data as a spreadsheet at any point in the process," Fleming-Jones notes of PerkinElmer's software.
The company designed the software to appeal to scientists, but it has the scientific workplace in mind, he says. "They don't have to put their postdocs and grad students on this [application]. They can use their technicians because it is going to get done right. The ease-of-use is appealing for everyone."
Bio-Rad, while not known as an informatics company, announced software called VersArray, designed to do more than just work with gene expression data off the company's machines. The application finds and "grids" spots on microarrays, placing them into a known matrix of rows and columns for further analysis. The software is fully-integrated into a complete Bio-Rad system that prints the arrays which a robotloads.
"This technology is for people who can't afford or don't want to go to Affymetrix," says Harry Naghieh, Bio-Rad's business unit manager for functional genomics. "I call it home-brew DNA chip-making. In a couple of days, you can be analyzing data."
At Bristol-Myers Squibb, Stan Hefta is director of proteomics in the company's Pharmaceutical Research Institute. At the Philadelphia meeting, Hefta described a group that had grown dramatically, both in terms of headcount and alliances with smaller companies like Affymetrix, Athersys, Exelixis, Lexicon, Lifespan, Orchid BioSciences, Pharmagen, and Sequitur. "We increased dramatically the number of platforms," said Hefta. "We increased the number of databases we subscribe to."
That profusion of activity, in turn lead inexorably to a decision to wrap up what the company was doing into one package. "If you went into the mass-spectroscopy lab," he told the meeting, "you probably wouldn't see many people working there. The instruments are chugging along, spewing out data. Emails are sent, automatically, saying 'The data is here, come and get it.'"
Hefta notes his own group is putting 50 gigabytes of data into Beowolf clusters. "The goal is to collect as much data as possible and analyze it later," he said. "All of our data collection is completely automated. All of the data processing is automated." Does that mean scientists never see it? No. Just that intermediate step -- analyzing individual gels and microarrays -- is left to computers.
Part of the puzzle is the BMS Mass Informatics System, software which has a proprietary algorithm to tell the poor-quality signals from the good-quality ones. Says Hefta: "We need to get this data into the hand of end users, biologists, as quickly as possible, so they can get in and probe the data in any way they want. We are integrating as quickly as possible into a systems biology strategy."

New guy - Just moved and back in it.
Just moved back to NY from Los Angeles to help out the family with their business (Aerospace).
I didn't do any boarding for the 12 years I was in Los Angeles but with all the snow falling I got the itch to get back to the mountain. Saved up some cash and picked up a decent board, bindings and some killer boots. Looking forward to carving it up with my friends.
When I first tried boarding it was on a very icy day. I didn't catch on much and even sprained a rib from falling. That night 30" fell and it was as if I had been boarding all my life. All my waterskiing, windsurfing and skateboarding experience helped a ton.
Great forum. I appreciate all you with experience giving advice and plenty to read and learn about.
Welcome back to the ice coast. :thumbsup:
How did you not do any boarding while you were out west? Almost like a wasted opportunity. :dunno:
When I look back I was escaping the cold. Was all about sand and sun. Did a lot of dune riding at Pismo and Duhmont. Also quite a bit of jetskiing at pyramid lake. Cool place. Lake in the middle of the desert.
Wish I did do some boarding. I missed out on that for sure.
Hope you find some snow. :thumbsup:

What advice would you give someone starting this project? Go for it. Its easy. I will be making these up in all sorts of sizes using left over fabric. I did find that I couldn't sew past the zipper stop as is shown in the video as my zipper foot is a different shape so I had to put the needle down, raise the foot up and "wiggle" the zipper open till it was past the needle and foot before continuing. Other than that I made it up exactly as shown, it was almost deja vu.

Joan and Fred are delightful and accommodating hosts who run a first-class bed and breakfast just a couple hundred feet from the beach! I've stayed with them many times, and hope to join them for many more years. Rooms are clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. Breakfast is divine. My one suggestion would be that they offer bikes, as other bed and breakfasts seem to do this.

This property is beautifully kept. It has a very warm feel. Super clean. I stayed on the top floor in a very comfortable room. I loved that they had beach chairs and an enclosed outdoor shower. I would most definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Gingerbread House in June and absolutely loved the accommodations. Our room was very clean and we had our own porch. Joan and Fred were great hosts and make you feel right at home. Their staff was equally warm and friendly. The beach and restaurants are all within walking distance, great location. Joan's breakfasts were delicious, especially those ricotta pancakes. We will definitely be returning to the Gingerbread House.

I have stayed in many bed and breakfasts and this was one of the best! An immaculate and beautiful b and b 2 blocks from the beach.Fred and Joan happily greeted me and gave me info about Cape May. Light music played in the living room where fresh baked treats were always available. Breakfast was substantial and delicious. I had a perfect stay!

Our stay at Gingerbread House was very pleasent. The house is beautiful, the rooms are luxury and very comfortable. For one day in beautiful Cape May this house is the perfect location for walking to the beach and town center and to explore the environment. Joans breakfast was fantastic, there are several different courses and always something different every day including fresh juice, homemade cereal and cake, fruit and joghurt. We very much enjoyed our short stay and would like to come back some day.

Fred and Joan - and their assistant McKinley - are great and knowledgeable hosts. The inn is meticulously restored and decorated (beautifully for the holidays), the rooms are clean and well-maintained, and you have all the amenities you could ask for. The location is the perfect balance between the beach (just a block away) and the main part of town (a few short blocks to restaurants and shops). Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, snacks were always available, and it's unlucky for us we had just one night there. We miss Cape life. You can't go wrong with the Gingerbread House.

Step back in time at the beautifully restored Gingerbread House in Cape May, NJ. Originally built in 1869. The rooms are pristine,comfortable and relaxing.It is within walking distance of many of the finest restaurants that Cape May has to offer and historical sites in Cape May. The atmosphere at the morning meal was warm and friendly as the host and hostess Fred & Joan went beyond expectations to make our stay more pleasant then we could have imagined. We have recommended it to our family members. We look forward to returning. The only comparison that I can make would be visiting relatives that you really like. I can't praise my experience enough.

Joan and Fred are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and Joan will satisfy your breakfast cravings. You can park your car and walk to most restuarants and shopping and the beach is just down the street. Stayed October 2015

Dr. Whalen is an employed physician and has to answer to the hospital. She cannot spend the needed time with you because she has to see many patients in a day to meet her quota. I felt rushed and not listened to.
A month after the NIH published a landmark study about the use of Niaspan to improve blood cholesterol levels, I called Dr. Whalen to ask if I should continue use of the medication, which is the backbone of my cardiac regimen. Her administrative assistant called back to tell me Dr. Whalen was not familiar with the study, but if I felt strongly about it, the doctor was comfortable with my stopping its use. Three things are pretty shocking about this response. The biggest shock is that Dr. Whalen wasn't familiar with the study. The results were published on the front pages of nearly every major newspaper in the country, including the NY Times and Wall Street Journal, and was covered by all of the major networks. According to the reports, the NIH said the very popular medication not only failed to stop heart attacks, but in some cases increased the risk of stroke. The results, in fact, were so convincing that NIH stopped its research 18 months early to report out the findings.The second shocker is that even though she acknowledged not having read the study, she still offered the opinion that it was okay for me to stop taking the medication. On the advice of a cardiologist and several other physicians, I had been taking this medication for 10 years. Third, her advice ran counter to the FDA's advice to people taking Niaspan, which was to continue taking the medication until a fuller analysis of the study was completed. Dr. Whalen's bedside manner might be fine, but docs who don't read the research shouldn't be practicing medicine. In this instance, because of the widely reported findings in the popular press, it wasn't even necessary for her to crack a medical journal.
In 25 years have never had a more qualified, engaged, personable physician. Dr. Whalen builds a relationship with patients that is second to none.

October has arrived for the Tennessee Volunteers, and that means it's time for SEC play. The first test on this four-game stretch is the Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday.
The winning team will have its first notable victory of the year. Together, Tennessee and Georgia are winless against ranked teams but have mopped the floor with lesser opponents.
Georgia had high hopes going into the season, but two losses to start the season has put those on hold. Meanwhile, the Vols had the notion of beating Florida the first time since Casey Clausen, but youth, coupled with a devastating injury to Justin Hunter, stalled the hope.
A win in Neyland Stadium this Saturday is likely to vault the Vols in the polls, perhaps high enough to receive its first top 25 ranking since September 2008.
Here is a preview of the game and the advantage of key matchups.

Good cover, good priceby Mark Young - verified purchaser
This cover is a great deal for the price. I did notice that since it's the "Ultralite" cover it was very thin, and during heavy rain, with the cover tied securely, a good bit of water still got on my bike. It could've also been from the 2 vents on the cover, good for venting, but during heavy rain, the single velcro fastener doesn't keep it secure. All in all though, it's a great cover that does its job, I haven't had any other problems with it.

Practice a number of techniques with these beaded necklace patterns from Tammy Powley. The Shot Through the Heart Necklace is perfect for an anti-Valentine's Day party or just to show your style.
This project is an excert from The Complete Photo Guide to Jewelry Making by Tammy Powley.
- 1" × 1" (2.5 × 2.5 cm) of sterling silver 16-gauge (1.3 mm) sheet
- 2" (5 cm) of 16-gauge (1.3 mm) dead-soft copper wire
- Computer, printer, and paper
- Heart image
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Rotary tool or drill press
- Large file
- Needle files
- Jeweler's saw
- Saw blades
- Beeswax or wax compound
- Ball-peen or chasing hammer
- Ring mandrel
- Rawhide hammer
- Anvil
- X and O metal stamps
- Two 5-mm sterling silver jump rings
- One 3-mm sterling silver jump ring
- Chain-nose pliers
- Polisher
- Liver of sulfur
- Baking soda
- Two small bowls of water
- Tweezers
- Paper towels
- Microwave
- Polishing cloth
- Use a computer and printer to print out a heart shape that is about 1" × 1" (2.5 × 2.5 cm). After printing the heart, cut out the paper shape with scissors.
- Use a glue stick to coat the back of the paper heart and adhere it to a piece of sterling sheet.
- With a jeweler's saw, saw around the heart.
- Use large and needle nose files to file all around the heart to ensure the sides are smooth.
- Pierce a hole in the top/center area of the heart and pierce two extra holes across the heart that will later hold the copper arrow.
- Using an X and an O metal stamp as well as an anvil and hammer, stamp in various spots across the silver heart.
- To create a little bit of a curve in the metal sheet, hold the heart against the widest area of a ring mandrel and use a rawhide hammer to mold the heart around it.
- Take a few inches (centimeters) of copper wire, and insert it through the two holes created in step 5.
- Use a hammer and anvil to flatten both ends of the copper wire (while it is still inserted into the silver heart).
- With a needle file, shape one end of the wire into the arrow point and the other end the feathers.
- Attach a 5-mm jump ring to the center hole in the heart, then add a 3-mm jump ring, and another 5-mm jump ring so that there are three jump rings attached to the center hole.
- Polish the heart either in a tumbler or with the rotary tool. (See the Chain making section, page 73, for polishing techniques). If you prefer the pendant polished, skip the last few steps of this project. To give it a patina, which will help the X and O stamping show up a little more, continue.
- Fill two small bowls with water, and microwave one bowl for about 60 seconds. It should be warm, but not boiling.
- Take a small chunk of liver of sulfur, set it in the warm bowl of water, and use tweezers to stir the water a little. It is harmless but will start to smell like rotten eggs, so it is a good idea to work in a well-ventilated area.
- Sprinkle about a tablespoon of baking soda in the other bowl of water.
- Place the heart pendant in the liver of sulfur water, use tweezers to pull it out after a few seconds, and place in the bowl with the water and baking soda. (The baking soda neutralizes the affects of the liver of sulfur.)
- Pull out the pendant, dry it off with a paper towel. If it has the look you want, you are finished. If you want to remove some of the patina, rub it with a polishing cloth. If you want it darker, repeat step 16 until it has the look you desire.

Virginia History
In 1916, Gari Melchers, an internationally famous painter, purchased the Belmont estate in Falmouth, Virginia. With the exception of some European travel in the 1920s, he made this his permanent home during the last decades of his life. Area residents and visitors are privileged to be able to visit this gem of a museum which combines a glimpse of the artist's home life as well as a tour of his studio.
To the Spaniards, he was known as young Litlpese. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette knew him as the charming Little Peche. In Russia, to Catherine the Great and her favorites, he was the clever and ambitious Litlpaz. The doomed monarch, Stanislas Augustus of Poland, knew him as his loyal Litelpecz. Whatever the name, this often penniless Virginian's brilliant intellect and exquisite manners won him entry into the chambers, gaming tables, and salons of the last decades of Europe's Age of Enlightenment.
The Young and Orphaned Genius
The big brick mansions such as Kenmore, Gunston Hall, and Carter's Grove grab the attention of most tourists to the Old Dominion but equally historic if considerably less lauded are the clapboard, plaster, and brick cottages that were homes and gathering places for ever
Kenmore—Stratford Hall—Berkley Plantation—these and many other substantial brick residences were designed to last and impress. The style was called Georgian, in honor of the English kings of the period. Later similar houses built after the American Revolution would be patriotically dubbed Federal. This article briefly looks at some common characteristics of the houses' exteriors.
Treading, Molding, and Firing
XII. That each Indian King, and Queen have equall power to govern their owne people and none to have greater power then other, except the Queen of Pomunky to whom severall scattered Indians doe now againe owne their antient Subjection, and are agreed to come in and plant themselves under power and government, whoe with her are alsoe hereby included into this present League and treatie of peace, & are to keep, and observe the same towards the said Queen in all things as her Subjects, as well as towards the English.
SASSAFRAS VARIFOLIUM is an old species, fossil forms being found in the one-hundred-million-year-old rocks of the Cretaceous period in both North America and Eurasia. Since the ice ages, it has continued to live only in a small section of Asia and in North America from Maine to Florida and westward to the beginning of the prairies. Today it is most commonly found at the wood's edge along roadsides and fence rows as a tree growing between fifteen and fifty feet.
In June 1816, the Virginia Herald announced a meeting to be held to formulate plans for making the Rappahannock River commercially navigable above the fall line rapids at Fredericksburg.
In the summer of 1910, hundreds of electric lights shed their radiance on the Rappahannock River for the opening of Casino Island Park.
At times, a sense of things past seems to envelop tourists and residents who stroll quietly along Fredericksburg streets at twilight or drive through a countryside still scarred by the battles of the Civil War. Some swear that more than a general sense of the history of the place overwhelms them. At twilight, at midnight, or even at high noon, specters and shades of those whose place this was may return to their homes and habits to pray, to flirt, to dine, and to stroll, to fire their rifles and march in formation, or lie wounded in hospital beds, wearing uniforms of gray or blue.
In August of 1889, C. W. Wilder of New York and George F. Wheeler of Baltimore were introduced by J. R. Clarke of Baltimore, owner of the Fredericksburg Water Power Company, to the Corporation Council of Fredericksburg.
In return for the donation of an acre of land and exemption from city taxes for a period of ten years, the men agreed to construct and put into operation within six months a silk factory that would employ up to 200 girls and women from age 15 upward. It was also understood that they would enlarge the works when the opportunity demanded.

Holly and her friends are back for an all-new season of... well, whatever it is that she and her friends do in Vegas (we don't quite remember as whatever it is stays in Vegas). We know that Holly stars in a show on the strip so presumably she'll be discussing that as she and her friends gallivant around town. Wait, can you gallivant in Vegas? Is Vegas a gallivanting town or is it more of a strolling town? Probably you stroll through Vegas until you're drunk and then you stumble through it. Tell you what, let's just follow Holly's lead as she traverses the city however it gets traversed.
