'The Conjuring' stirs up scares amid the unseen
A warning to anyone who goes home to an old house after seeing "The Conjuring": You might be sleeping with the lights on.
The wonderful creepiness lies in the restraint that director James Wan ("Saw," "Insidious") uses throughout most of the story. The impact is in the suggested and the unseen, rather than the gory and grotesque — just as it is like the best classic horror films. »Read Full Article
'The Way, Way Back' finds charm in details, performances
Every summer seems to have its own coming-of-age movie. "The Way, Way Back" fills the bill this season. And while its broad strokes don't break any new ground, its surprise and charm are in the small details and individual performances.
In "The Way, Way Back," an awkward 14-year-old (Liam James) is spending the summer with his recently divorced mom at her boyfriend's beach house. That doesn't sound like a bad deal in itself, but the boyfriend (Steve Carell) quietly bullies him when the Mom doesn't (or chooses not to) see. »Read Full Article

Plant to convert gas to liquid fuel planned in United StatesBy CLIFFORD KRAUSS
The New York Times | December 04,2012WESTLAKE, La. — In an ambitious bet that the glut of cheap natural gas in the United States will last for many years, a South African energy company announced Monday that it would build America's first commercial plant to convert natural gas to diesel and other liquid fuels.
The company, Sasol, which is based in Johannesburg, has been a pioneer in a technology that has tantalized energy scientists for decades over its potential to produce liquid fuels without using oil, which has historically cost far more than natural gas.
Having already built smaller plants in South Africa and Qatar, Sasol has designed its new Louisiana plant to produce 96,000 barrels of fuel a day using its "gas to liquids," or GTL, technology. It will be the second-largest plant of its kind in the world, after Royal Dutch Shell's Pearl plant in Qatar, and will cost $11 billion to $14 billion to build.
"By incorporating GTL technology in the USA's energy mix," David Constable, Sasol's chief executive, said in a statement, "states such as Louisiana will be able to advance the country's energy independence through a diversification of supply."
The facility will include a gas processing plant, a chemical plant and a refinery. All are required to perform the alchemy of converting natural gas into diesel, jet fuel and other chemical products.
What makes this southwestern corner of Louisiana attractive to Sasol is its proximity to bountiful shale gas fields just north of here and west in Texas. A boom in shale drilling has reduced the price of natural gas in the United States in the last four years by more than two-thirds, encouraging many energy and chemical companies to build and expand manufacturing plants around the Gulf of Mexico to produce a variety of petrochemicals.
Sasol estimated that the plant would create at least 1,200 permanent jobs and 7,000 construction jobs. Production is scheduled to begin in 2018. The state encouraged the project with more than $2 billion worth of tax credits and other incentives.
The company said it would put off previously announced plans to build a separate gas-to-liquids plant in Canada, giving priority to the Louisiana effort.
Profits have been elusive for the technology. To make it work, natural gas prices must remain low and prices for oil, diesel and jet fuel must remain high for a prolonged period. Natural gas and diesel prices have historically been very unpredictable.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

A 911 dispatcher in Atlanta didn't know that her first day of work would hit so close to home.
Crystal Morrow she had answered about 40 calls that day, including a burglary in progress and a house fire.
But she was surprised when she heard a familiar voice on the other end of one of them, Atlanta TV station WAGA reported.
It turns out, Morrow's aunt had dialed 911 and Morrow picked up. Her father had gone into diabetic shock.
"I did freeze. My hands froze over the keyboard, but I knew I had to get the call in," she told WAGA.
Morrow walked her aunt through what she had to do and quickly got an ambulance to her father.
Her colleague said she handled the situation well.
"She took the entire call and then she got up after the call and stepped outside," Danielle Harvey told WAGA. "I went to check on her and told her to go see about her family."

It is no secret that kids get bored fast while on long road trips. As times change, so does a child's entertainment. It is important to be creative and have a wide variety of games for children to play on long car rides.
With handheld gaming devices on the rise "old-fashioned" games have been forgotten. Games like "Slug-Bug, No Backs" (Punch Buggy), "Eye-Spy," cootie catchers and car scavenger hunts help pass the hours.
Teaching a child how to read a map can be one of the most rewarding car ride activities. Not only does it teach them a skill, but it allows them to actively participate in the trip and follow the route being driven.
Bring a notebook along for your child to draw or write stories in while creating a memory book of your trip.
When the interactive games have been exhausted it is time to take advantage of technology. Portable DVD players or DVD systems installed in many cars can be used to show a child his or her favorite movie.
Some cars in 2013 are coming out with a Wi-Fi hotspot that will allow passengers to use the internet while riding along. This will provide older children with the resources they need to do homework or explore the internet while traveling.

Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich are almost certain to miss a third straight playoff game. Deng is likely out, still recovering from a spinal tap conducted to test for meningitis. Hinrich has missed the last four games with a calf injury and remains immobilized by a walking boot. He's officially doubtful.
The Bulls won Game 1 at Miami over the heavily favored Heat with Jimmy Butler playing all 48 minutes for the third consecutive game and supersub Nate Robinson delivering key plays in critical minutes at point guard.
Hinrich said there is little functional improvement in his calf. Swelling has reduced, but Hinrich still has bleeding from what the team called an "impact injury."

A Florida man shot and killed his family's pet so he could go into its stomach and retrieve his son's finger that the animal had just bitten off, according to a report.
It happened Friday in the Oneca section of Bradenton when the 11-year-old boy reached inside the dog's cage to pet it, mysuncoast.com reported.
The animal bit the boy's hand, "severing the pinky and possibly breaking his forearm," according to mysuncoast.com.
The child's dad took the pet out of its cage, shot it and killed it. As the family waited for EMS to show up, the man retrieved the finger from the dog's stomach, mysuncoast.com reported.
The boy was rushed to a hospital; his condition was not immediately available.
Deputies told mysuncoast.com that their investigation supports the family's account of the incident.

Vermonters on scene for inauguration in D.C.
At least a thousand Vermonters and the 55-member Norwich University Regimental Band are set to represent the state today at President Barack Obamas inauguration in Washington, D.C.
Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch will have prime seats on the swearing-in stage alongside their wives and Gov. Peter Shumlin. Organizers also gave the Green Mountain congressional delegation about 1,000 free tickets for constituents to sit or stand on the lawn surrounding the U.S. Capitol during the 11:30 a.m. ceremony.
Four years ago, Leahy, Sanders and Welch, facing unprecedented demand from more than 4,000 locals, distributed most of their tickets through a lottery. This year, with expected attendance only about half of Obamas record 1.8 million crowd of 2009, we were able to honor all Vermonters requests, Leahy spokesman David Carle says.
That wasnt the case with applicants to the inaugural parade, scheduled to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House at 2:30 p.m. A record 2,800 groups applied for entrance in this years event, which will feature one unit from each of the 50 states.
The Vermont band boarded two buses at its Northfield campus Saturday before dawn, traveled all day and arrived at the nations capital well after dusk.
Everything is going well, the bands director, Lt. Col. Todd Edwards said by phone Sunday. Were getting all of our final paperwork in order, and students are having fun looking at the sights.
The oldest collegiate band in the country, the Regimental Band founded in 1823 has traveled to the swearing-ins of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Even so, neither Edwards nor any of its current musicians has played at an inauguration. Perhaps thats why they chose a good nights sleep over crashing the Vermont State Society inaugural reception that drew several hundred people Sunday night to a Constitution Avenue venue overlooking the swearing-in stage.
The Norwich band is set to wake early this morning for security screening at the Pentagon before lining up near the Capitol. Students, slotted in the fourth of five divisions, will march the 1.6-mile route before reaching the presidents reviewing stand at the White House, where theyll play the National Emblem March, composed a century ago by Vermonter E.E. Bagley.
C-SPAN is promising live commercial-free coverage on television and its website, www.c-span.org. Vermont viewers should look for the Air Force Band leading the fourth division, then wait through the next 10 units while watching for the Tuskegee Airmen float that will precede the Norwich band.
The cadets are honored and happy, Edwards said Sunday.

More DNA tests to be conducted on Grega case evidence
BRATTLEBORO Additional DNA testing will be conducted on old evidence in the John Grega first-degree murder case, Windham County States Attorney Tracy Shriver said Friday.
Shriver said that technicians now believe there was enough DNA material left from earlier tests which last year led to a new murder trial for Grega for another set of tests.
Both sides in the 19-year-old murder case were in court Friday to argue several contentious motions filed in the case. And both sides came in for some scolding by Superior Court Judge John Wesley, who urged the prosecution and defense to work together cooperatively as the pretrial issues emerge and are resolved.
Grega, 50, is charged with the first-degree murder of his wife, Christine, who was found strangled and brutally sexually assaulted in a rented condominium in West Dover on Sept. 12, 1994.
Police arrested Grega shortly afterward, saying he gave conflicting statements about what happened to his wife, at one point attributing her internal injuries to rough sex.
Shriver said the additional DNA tests would include additional tests on the various swabs taken from Christine Gregas body, including the swab that showed the mystery DNA. Tests would also be done on material taken from the washing machine, where Christine Gregas bloodstained clothing was found. Shriver said that swabs taken of what appeared to be bloodstains on the wall of the condominium they were renting would also be included.
Shriver said the new round of DNA testing would likely push back the second trial, which is expected to take a month. No date had been set for the new trial, but Wesley said he wanted to conclude pretrial work by July.
The Gregas, along with their 2-year-old son, had been vacationing in the Mount Snow area in September 1994 in hopes of putting their marriage back on track, according to testimony during the first trial.
Grega has always maintained his innocence, and DNA testing last May, which wasnt available during his first trial, revealed the DNA of another, unknown man in Christine Gregas body.
The DNA testing was possible because of a 2008 Vermont law which allowed convicted felons to request DNA testing that wasnt available at the time of their trials.
The New England Innocence Project worked with Gregas attorney Ian Carleton, of Burlington, on the case. Grega had been serving a sentence of life without parole.
Two of Gregas attorneys took turns attacking Shriver and her office for lack of cooperation in the case, whether it was winnowing down their potential witness list or turning over the confidential files of police officers who worked on the case back in 1994.
Grega, 50, of Long Island, N.Y., was convicted during a 1995 trial in Brattleboro, but he was released on bail last August after both sides agreed that a new trial was warranted. Since then Grega has lived in Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y., with his elderly mother.
In addition to discussion of the new DNA testing, and the protocols that would be involved during the tests at an out-of-state lab, the two sides wrangled over whether Shrivers office should turn over the confidential employment records of Dover police officers and Vermont State Police detectives who worked on the case.
Shriver has refused to agree to turn over the documents, saying she didnt have legal access to the files, and that she was only required to turn over critical information about police officers if she knew about it, and said it wasnt her responsibility to search it out.
Shriver said she had turned over information about a state lab fingerprint technician, Jon Creighton, that was critical of his credibility.
Carleton is being aided by some attorneys from the Boston law firm of Goodwin Procter, who are working in conjunction with the New England Innocence Project. He said Shriver and her office should be sanctioned by Wesley for their lack of cooperation.
Wesley appeared skeptical of Carletons many complaints, noting that Shriver didnt have control over the confidential files of the police officers and that Carleton himself was free to subpoena them.
Opposing turning over any personnel files were attorneys representing both the Dover Police Department and the Vermont State Police.
Both attorneys said Gregas attorneys had to show some proof or information that showed any connection with the Grega case and any potential disciplinary action or missteps by police.
Annika Green, the attorney for the Department of Public Safety, said Carleton and co-counsel Brian LaMacchia were on a fishing expedition in their effort to go through personnel files.
LaMacchia replied it was more like Catch-22 since Gregas attorneys didnt know what to look for.
Carleton also criticized the size of the potential witness list submitted by Shrivers office and asked for the judge to order them to narrow it down, and at least give addresses for the witnesses.
Carleton said the prosecutors had included at least one person who was dead on the list and another person who was senile. There are about 250 people on the list.
Shriver also objected to Carletons plans to re-depose 14 key witnesses in the case, including the police investigators, emergency medical technicians, and medical examiners.
Shriver said the people were deposed in preparation for the 1995 trial, testified, and were cross-examined by Gregas attorneys at that time. She said any re-interview in preparation for the trial should be closely limited and added she was seeking a protective order from Wesley.
Wesley took all the legal issues under advisement and told the two sides he hoped to have a decision on the various issues by next week.

State: Vt Health Connect is on trackBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | July 26,2013MONTPELIER State officials say the ground-up construction of a new health care bureaucracy is on track for its Oct. 1 debut, when the launch of Vermont Health Connect will change the way about 100,000 Vermonters purchase health insurance.
Assurances from Cabinet-level administration officials Thursday came as they made public for the first time an outside review that identifies numerous risks associated with the creation of the online health care exchange, including delays that could cost the state some federal funding.
But Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, says the concerns highlighted in the new report have been resolved or are on the verge of being so. And Vermonters, according to Larson, will soon enjoy the fruits of an enterprise into which nearly $200 million has already been poured.
We are on track for a successful launch of Vermont Health Connect, Larson said. Were on track to offer Vermonters health coverage in an accessible, straightforward way starting Oct. 1.
The health care exchange is a product of the federal Affordable Care Act and offers consumers an online portal at which theyll be able to conduct side-by-side comparisons of competing health insurance plans and enroll in the policy of their choosing.
While federal law requires all states to have an exchange, the Shumlin administration and the Legislature have chosen to make it a centerpiece of the health insurance marketplace and ensure its widespread use by requiring individuals and businesses with 50 or fewer employees to purchase their insurance through it.
The same outside consultant that wrote the critical report, BerryDunn, said the scale of the health care exchange and the integrated eligibility project accompanying it is an unprecedented undertaking for Vermont.
Larson on Thursday said the state will fulfill its pledge to have the exchange apparatus in place by October. And he said the focus now is on making sure Vermonters know how to use it. A first batch of 172 exchange navigators finished their training last week and will now help individuals and businesses make their way through the maze of options available to them.
In its search for navigators, Larson said the state has looked to established organizations running the gamut from the Vermont Chamber of Commerce to the Association of Africans Living in Vermont so as to tap into existing networks through which information can be transmitted.
The state will spend $2 million on contracts involving 250 navigators and $6 million on paid media in its bid to get the word out to Vermonters.
Peter Sterling, director of the Vermont Campaign for Health Care Security, one of the organizations that won a navigator contract, said the use of existing groups to conduct grass-roots outreach is a sound strategy for optimizing consumer enrollment in the exchange.
You cant wait for low- and middle-income people to come to you. They will not do it. Their lives are busy, they have other things going on, Sterling said. So the fact we have a navigator effort thats community based, and meets people where they normally congregate, that is the key to success in getting people to enroll.
Aside from offering apples-to-apples comparisons of competing insurance plans, the exchange will also offer eligible Vermonters substantial financial help, mostly in the form of premium assistance and federal tax credits. An online subsidy calculator, available at http://healthconnect.vermont.gov/tax_credit_calculator, will tell residents exactly how much they can expect to pay for insurance in the exchange.
The development of the exchange hasnt been without its challenges. Cost overruns forced the state to seek an additional $42.7 million from the federal government, a request that was fulfilled earlier this month. At a hearing Tuesday, key lawmakers expressed concern about the mounting costs and the extent to which Vermont taxpayers would be left holding the bag when the flow of federal money subsides.
The BerryDunn review pegs total costs for the exchange and integrated eligibility projects over the next five years at more than $427 million. Larson and Robin Lunge, the director of health care reform for the Shumlin administration, said they agree with that estimate, and that federal contributions will limit state obligations to $18 million a year a figure lawmakers Tuesday warned Larson they would hold him to.
The BerryDunn consultants wrote in their report that the nearly $500 million enterprise will not result in a tangible positive return on investment in the first five (or 10) years after deployment. Lunge, however, said the benefits of the new system arent necessarily captured in a conventional return-on-investment equation.
How do you do return on investment for consumer experience? Lunge said. You cant quantify the consumer experience into dollars and cents, and both with integrated eligibility and Vermont Health Connect, a big component is improving the ways Vermonters access health coverage.
Larson said its important to note that the investment is being underwritten mostly by the federal government.
We want to reinforce the fact that we are very, very appreciative of the fact that the federal government is making a substantial investment in all of these projects to make the investment by Vermonters very, very modest, to be able to achieve these very important goals, Larson said.

First Lieutenant Ashley Sorensen of the 303rd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Battalion broke the world record for the one-mile bomb disposal suit run by more than two minutes at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Monday, according to the U.S. Army.
Lt. Sorensen wore a fully functional bomb disposal suit, which weighs more than 75 pounds at the UH Manoa track.
The Guinness Book of World Records will be reviewing the record time.
If the record holds up, it will be the fastest female one-mile run in an EOD bomb disposal suit.
"Whenever EOD goes out in the bomb suits for a manual approach, it's really important that we're able to work and sweat in the suit and still be able to peform, so making it a competition when we train helps with that," said Sorensen. "Running a mile like this is definitely a challenge."
The Milwaukee native compared the run's physical and psychological intensity to the final miles of a marathon.After an 18-month process of training and planning for the record breaking attempt, Sorensen said, "We finally did it, it feels awesome, and I really appreciate everybody coming out for it!"
Sorensen graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2010, and she currently serves as her unit's executive officer. She is part of the 8th Military Police Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command based out of Schofield Barracks.

Every Rug Needs a Rugpad
Yes, recommended to a friend.Thanks! July 23, 2014
"I had studied the website, read the reviews, and narrowed it down to two rugs. I finally sent in a question asking for advice. I received a reply the next morning and ordered the Stanford Sisal. It arrived about four days later. It's a wonderful neutral colored well-made rug. I am very well pleased."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Nice, good price, no smell with pets July 18, 2014
"Bought these to cover scratched wooden floors in rental for a neutral and natural look. Fits and looks good."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great Value July 07, 2014
"We needed an all natural rug replacement for our seagrass rug because our uncaged bunny had eaten holes in it. Apparently seagrass is very tasty to rabbits. I reluctantly ordered this sisal rug in an 8 X 10 and it is the perfect replacement for the seagrass. It gives the texture and theme we needed for our family room. Perfect color that blends nicely and feels fine with bare feet. Purchased it at 25% off during a holiday promotion so it became even a better value. The rubber backing keeps us from needing a rug pad."
Yes, recommended to a friend.My 5th Stanford Sisal Rug! April 23, 2014
"Yes, this last purchase was my 5th Stanford sisal rug from Natural Area Rugs. I have wood floors and wanted the same style rug throughout my home. They are beautiful. Every time I ordered, I received my rug in 4-5 days. The color is warm taupe. Not too gold or too gray."
Yes, recommended to a friend.March 11, 2014
"We just purchased a 9 x 12 Stanford rug to replace a sisal rug we had had for years that we'd purchased from Crate and Barrel. I was looking for different colors and, since C&B did not have as wide a selection, ended up going with Natural Area Rugs. This was our first purchase with them. The purchase experience was good, the rug arrived within 4 days and it looked beautiful. Nice weave and great color on our wood floor."
Yes, recommended to a friend.My favorite natural fiber rug February 18, 2014
"The Stanford sisal is a favorite of mine! I have 3 in my home. I love the color, slightly griege and not yellow like some natural fiber rugs. Also like that it is borderless. Can't say enough good things about this rug and the company."
Yes, recommended to a friend.First Rate Product January 22, 2014
"My first purchase of a Natural Area Rug turned out to be a very positive experience. I was impressed by the website enough to take the plunge and order the Stanford Sisal Rug in the 8 x 10 size during the 2013 Holiday Sale. I couldn't be happier with the rug! Everything about it, from the color and general appearance to the quality of the construction, is first rate. I wasn't sure that my plan to layer it over wall to wall carpeting would work but it does. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!"
Yes, recommended to a friend.Perfect October 02, 2013
"This is a gorgeous, high quality rug. It doesn't smell and laid flat right away. It is exactly what I wanted for my family room. Now I'm looking for two more for living area and bedroom. Happy, happy. happy"
Yes, recommended to a friend.Consistently The Best Value and Service October 01, 2013
"You can always count on this company to deliver a great product and great service. I have bought many rugs here and all were shipped same day and via fedex for prompt delivery. This Stanford Sisal has a great rubber backing which holds it in place and the wheat color is beautiful on hardwood floors. Customer service is spot on and will always address any concerns. I strongly recommend them."
Great Purchase September 13, 2013
"This is the third time that I have ordered from Natural Area Rugs. I was hesitant at first, but I've been super pleased every time I've ordered, whether it's a custom size and color or a "ready to ship" carpet. The Stanford Sisal is a great rug and I'm going to order another one (or two!). It's a good thickness - will be easy to clean and vacuum and won't pick up dog hair. It's gentle under foot too. Delivery was quick and efficient."
Yes, recommended to a friend.stylish with an earthy feel September 12, 2013
"I love the rug! It fits in well with our style and seems low maintenance. I will however note that cleaning may be a problem with this rug. One of my kitty's had an accident of the hairball nature...and the stain was difficult to treat as water and sisal don't mix well. I hadn't considered that before purchasing and wish I had looked into it further. But that aside, the rug is great, looks good, great quality. I'd recommend."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Love this rug! May 06, 2013
"This is the best rug ever for high traffic areas and the color is fantastically neutral. I have hardwood floors and need to cover them so my dogs don't slip and hurt themselves (me too). The edges lie perfectly flat so no tripping. I had Stanford in four rooms and needed to replace all because it of natural dog disaster. Sadly, no Stanford was to be found. I replaced Stanford with more expensive rugs from a different source and have been nostalgic for Stanford ever since. Stanford was superior in every way. Years later, dog disaster struck again. Even though Stanford is not the same as the other rugs in the room, it is my first choice for replacement because it is the best rug ever. I am so happy to see Stanford back in stock. The quality and price make Stanford my first choice for the high traffic areas in my house. Love Stanford!"
Yes, recommended to a friend.In LOVE with this rug November 23, 2012
"Can't say enough good things about this rug. I have lived in my house for almost 6 years and this is one of my favorite purchases ever. It sits under the front legs of my couch and love seat which actually keep them from moving (the couch is in front of a big bay window and my 3 year old or big Lab constantly used to push it up against the window). Not only does the rug not move, but it doesn't look dirty ever. My previous rugs always had dog hair on them and looked dirty 5 minutes after I vacuumed because of it. I can go 2 weeks withour vacuuming and it looks great. Also, it is backed with latex so it doesn't move, the floor doesn't get scratchy and the weird dusty sandy particles don't fall through like an old jute rug I have. LOVE. I'm trying to get a circle version now so I can back on here."
Yes, recommended to a friend.LOVE this rug! September 25, 2012
"I am now the owner of 4 of these rugs. You can't beat the quality and the price/customer service are fabulous too. you'd spend 2 or 3X the amount for an equal rug at crate and barrel or restoration hardware. I love this rug."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great rug, fast shipping June 29, 2012
"Rug came lightning-fast... I ordered on a Sunday and it arrived the following Thursday. It's perfect for my needs--low profile rug (not a thick boucle), great neutral color that is not too yellow, and has a nonslip backing to it. This is a great neutral rug for any room. I have it in my guest room and will layer a cowhide rug over it. The sisal is a bit scratchy on bare feet, but I kind of like that... I'm sure kitty will have fund scratching on it, too. :)"
Yes, recommended to a friend.Quality Far Exceeds Price May 27, 2011
"Fantastic rug! Look, feel, finishing, color all surpassed my expectations, especially at this low price point. Anyone interested in a natural fiber rug that looks posh and will integrate into any decor should BUY THIS RUG!
My only wish is that it came in more sizes, and definitely that it was available as 8'x10'."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Stanford Kenya 6'X9' Sisal Rug July 16, 2009
"This rug I bought and put in my living room. It looks great with my brown leather furniture. I am going to paint the walls some shade of green to add warmth to the neutral tones. The no slip bottom on the rug is good although I plan on buying a pad for underneath it. The price was good, but even better with the 15% off coupon. Knowing that I could return the rug at no expense to me closed the deal. Shipping was very prompt, and the telephone operator answered all my questions in a helpful manner. This company has great customer service."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Excellent Sisal area rug June 19, 2009
"A well made sisal rug priced very affordably, I bought two of the 6x9 version. Wish they made a 9x12 version because I'd love to put one of these in the living room."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Love this rug! May 03, 2009
"I bought this rug to put in my art studio, and it's perfect. My work chair easily rolls over the rug. It's also comfortable to walk on with bare feet. The rubber backing holds it in place over the cement floor. No rug pad needed.
I like the look and quality of this rug so much, that I am going to get another of the same for my dining room and/or bedroom."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great!!! August 21, 2008
"I bought two of these rugs last week and they are great!!! Great light color and they shipped very quickly!!! I am a fan!"

Novel 'Revolution' recalls Freedom Summer in Mississippi
The setting is a sleepy Southern town, in which little has changed since Reconstruction. The season is summer, in which the weather is muggy and fans useless. The protagonist is a headstrong and vocal girl who doesn't remember her mother, reveres her father and admires her athletic older brother. The action toggles between daring childhood adventures and a seismic rupture in long-settled race relations.
I could be describing Harper Lee's"To Kill a Mockingbird," but I'm actually referring to Deborah Wiles' "Revolution," during which 12-year-old Sunny Fairchild recalls the summer of 1964, when her town of Greenwood became the epicenter of efforts to register Mississippi's long-disenfranchised black population so that it could vote for change. »Read Full Article

Ben Carson, James Lovell among hot draws at charity events
Retired neurosurgeon and bestselling author Ben Carson never apologizes for telling uncomfortable truths about our nation and culture. And that is precisely why Carson, who became an overnight sensation last year for blasting Obamacare at the National Prayer Breakfast, drew a record crowd to the annual Wisconsin Right to Life dinner May 1 at the Wisconsin Center. With 1,500 in attendance, executive director Barbara Lyons noted that an additional 200 to 300 folks had wanted to attend but couldn't be accommodated.
Carson grew up in the ghettos of Detroit and Boston with a single mother who worked two and three jobs to keep her family off welfare. He notes that one of the biggest gifts she gave Carson and his brother was to "turn off the TV and make us read two books a week and write reports on those books, even though she couldn't read those reports herself." »Read Full Article
Listening to Lou Reed: 'Animal Serenade'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
"Animal Serenade" (2004), Lou Reed's seventh live album as a solo performer, was titled and timed to echo his first solo live album, "Rock 'n' Roll Animal," released three decades earlier. While the the powerhouse guitars of Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner sometimes overshadowed Reed on "Rock 'n' Roll Animal," the instrumental support is generally more restrained on "Animal Serenade." Lou is backed by two of his longest and most sympathetic accompanists, guitarist Mike Rathke and bassist Fernando Saunders. There's no drummer on this live album (though Saunders kicks in some electronically generated percussion on a few songs). Vocalist Antony Hegarty adds supporting vocals and takes the lead on a couple of songs. The presence of cellist Jane Scarpantoni makes it easier for Lou to play some of the Velvet Underground songs that featured John Cale's viola. Like "Perfect Night," his other live album from this period, the music is impeccably recorded: if a fly breathed on one of Lou's guitar strings, you'd hear it. »Read Full Blog Post

By Pure Matters
Unfortunately, some people think that getting a flu immunization is too much trouble or costs too much. Or, they swear that a flu immunization will make them sick or make them more likely to catch the flu--or even colds.
Influenza--the flu--is caused by one of several strains of influenza viruses (type A or B) that infect the nose, throat and lungs, making life miserable for a week or two for many people--and deadly for some. Flu season can peak anywhere from late December to early April, according to the CDC.
Immunization facts
Your best defense against the flu is to get immunized. Depending on your age, you can do that in one of two ways:
- With a flu shot, given with a needle. This form of the vaccine contains killed virus and is approved for all people over the age of 6 months.
- With a nasal-spray vaccine. This form contains live, weakened flu viruses that cannot cause the flu. This form is approved for healthy, non-pregnant people ages 2 to 49 years.
A flu vaccination is most important for children 6 to 59 months; adults ages 50 and older; anyone with a chronic disease; anyone who lives in a nursing home or other long-term care site; health care workers; and people who are in frequent contact with the elderly or chronically ill. The CDC says children 8 years old and younger who are immunized for the first time should get two full doses of vaccine, one month apart.
Doctors also advise flu shots for women who plan to be pregnant during flu season. Flu shots are OK for breast-feeding mothers, the CDC says.
Even if you don't fall into one of the above groups, however, you are still a candidate for the vaccine if you want to avoid the flu.
Talk to your doctor first
Some people should not be vaccinated for the flu before talking to their health care provider, the CDC says. These are reasons to talk your doctor:
- You have a severe allergy to chicken eggs.
- You have had a severe reaction to a flu immunization in the past.
- You developed Guillain-Barre syndrome within six weeks of a previous flu immunization.
Children younger than 6 months of age should not be immunized against the flu, because the flu vaccines have not been approved for that age group.
If you are ill with a moderate or severe illness that includes a fever, you should wait to get vaccinated until your symptoms lessen, the CDC says.
Other prevention steps
Flu viruses are spread by contact with droplets sneezed or coughed from an infected person. Inhaling the droplets is the most common route to getting the flu, but many people also become infected by touching objects on which droplets have landed. You can spread the virus to others before you feel sick yourself. The CDC says you are infectious a day before symptoms begin and up to five days afterward.
You can protect yourself against the flu by doing simple things like washing your hands before eating and not putting your hands near your face or in your mouth. You don't need special cleansers when washing your hands; washing for at least 20 seconds with ordinary soap works fine. If someone in your family has the flu, you can keep surfaces clean of the virus by wiping them with a solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water.
The other effective means of flu prevention is humidity. The flu bug exists in higher quantities in dry nasal and oral passages, which is one reason why flu epidemics occur in dry winter months. By raising the humidity in your workplace and at home to keep your nasal passages and mouth moist, your body will be better able to flush out the flu bug.
Rooting out rumors
Don't believe the rumor that a flu shot can give you even a mild case of influenza. It is impossible. Neither form of the vaccine--by injection or nasal spray--contains a form of the flu virus that can give you the flu. The injected form of the vaccine is made from particles of dead flu virus cells, and the nasal spray contains live viruses that have been damaged so they can't cause a major infection.
When you are injected with the flu vaccine, your body reacts as if it has been infected with the actual living virus and makes antibodies that provide immunity against the real virus. These antibodies remain at high levels for only six to nine months. These waning antibody levels are one reason why you need to be revaccinated each year.
The main reason you should be revaccinated yearly is the flu virus is constantly changing and evolving into new strains. Each year the CDC attempts to predict which flu strain will be predominant. The CDC works with vaccine manufacturers to produce the specific vaccine that will combat the predicted strain.
If you are concerned about the cost of a flu immunization, check with your local health department for locations in your area where free flu shots are given.
Treating yourself at home
When you are exposed to the flu, the virus incubates for three to five days before symptoms begin. You probably have the flu if you come down with a high fever, sore throat, muscle aches, a runny or stuffy nose, and a cough (usually dry). The symptoms in children may also include vomiting, diarrhea and ear infections. Flu is usually self-treatable but has to run its course. You can treat symptoms by getting bed rest, drinking plenty of fluids, taking acetaminophen for aches and pains, and using a humidifier to keep nasal passages moist.
Expect the flu to last about five days, which is the time it takes your body to produce the antibodies that finally beat the infection. You will be protected from that strain of influenza for the rest of the season. Some people continue to feel ill and cough for more than two weeks. In some cases, the flu can make health conditions such as asthma or diabetes worse or lead to complications such as bacterial pneumonia. Adults older than 65 and people with chronic health conditions have the greatest risk for complications from the flu, the CDC says.
Antiviral medications are also recommended to treat the flu--amantadine, rimantadine, zanamivir and oseltamivir--but must be taken within the first two days of illness to be effective, the CDC says. They can reduce the length of time flu symptoms are present. These medications usually are used in hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions where people are at high risk for complications of the flu. Some side effects may result from taking these medications, such as nervousness, lightheadedness, or nausea. Individuals with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are cautioned about using zanamivir. Talk to your health care provider if you think you should take one of these medications. These medications are not meant as a substitute for vaccination.

BCOP Step-by-Step
Click on a number from above to reveal the corresponding step instructions. The links below are permanent and bookmarkable.
Isolation and Mounting of Corneas
Upon receipt in the lab, the corneas are immediately prepared. The bovine corneas are excised and mounted in specially designed chambers. The chambers are then filled with media in a way that allows the corneas to retain their natural shape.
The mounted corneas are incubated to allow them to equilibrate for 1 hour. This is followed by a visual inspection to examine for imperfections (such as cuts, scratches, small opaque areas). Any corneas exhibiting such imperfections are removed from any further testing and discarded.
Initial Opacity
After the corneas have been examined, an initial baseline opacity measurement is performed for all the corneas. The initial opacity reading is representative of a normal, untreated cornea. Using a calibrated opacitometer, each cornea is compared against an air-filled chamber. After the initial opacity reading, each cornea is labeled with the appropriate test article or control treatment group and prepared for the dosing and rinsing procedure.
Dosing and Rinsing
The medium is removed from the anterior chamber of the holder. The test article or control is dosed on the epithelial surface of the cornea for its designated exposure period. Test articles may be applied neat or in dilution. For particularly viscous materials or slurries, the formulation may be applied directly to the cornea by removing the anterior chamber window.
After each designated exposure time, the corneas are thoroughly rinsed and the chambers are refilled. A post exposure opacity is taken (for liquid protocols) and the corneas are returned to the incubator for a specified post-exposure "expression" incubation. A second opacity measurement may be taken after the post-exposure "expression" incubation.
Permeability Determination
After the post-exposure opacity measurement, both chambers of the holder are aspirated, the posterior chamber is refilled with fresh media, and fluorescein is added to the anterior chamber. The chambers are then incubated vertically for 90 minutes. After 90 minutes, all of the medium in the posterior chamber is removed and then placed into a prelabeled glass tube.
The medium from each numbered tube is transferred to its corresponding well on a 96-well plate. The optical density at 490 nm is determined using a spectrophotometer.
Preparation for Histology (optional)
Corneas may be saved for histology for analysis of the degree and depth of corneal damage. Each cornea is carefully placed into a plastic cassette, fixed in formalin and processed for hematoxylin and eosin staining.
Histological analysis can be performed at IIVS or through a subcontracted board certified pathologist.
If histology is elected, an additional histology report is prepared complete with photographic representations of the corneas and a full histological evaluation for each test article and control treatment group. Please refer to Histology section for more information.
Calculate In Vitro Score
The opacity and permeability measurements are then evaluated in the calculation of the In Vitro Score. For example, a very mild ocular irritant may result in Mean Opacity Value of 1.4 and a Mean OD490 value of 0.158, resulting in an In Vitro Score of 3.77.
The following classification system (established by Sina et al.) provides a good initial guide to interpretation of these in vitro data. Please note that these specific ranges may not be applicable to all classes of materials.
In Vitro Score: * from 0 to 25 = mild irritant * from 25.1 to 55 = moderate irritant * from 55.1 and above = severe irritant

Angels Home Opener: A Disappointing Night in the Baseball Zone
Submitted for your approval: one normally mild mannered couple travelling companionably together down the 57 freeway as they do several times a month without incident. But this time something is different. Their voices grow louder and more excited and their gestures more enthusiastic. Their hearts beat faster, their anticipation increases to a child-like pitch and gooseflesh rises on their arms. Little do they know that they're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of lights out pitching and the sounds wooden bats striking balls, but of mental toughness; a dimension of wins and of losses, sadly this time the latter; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are a couple of chalk lines, a wall and a series of time honored rules startlingly complex in their seeming simplicity. That's the signpost up ahead – it says exit Katella for Angels Stadium. Their next stop? The Baseball Zone. *Cue theme music. No! Not Buttercup. Never Buttercup!*
Friday night, as planned, we took ourselves out to the ballgame, to watch the Angels Home Opener against the Blue Jays. The weather was seriously touch and go for a while there, including a complete downpour as I was leaving my house. But it stayed dry in Anaheim through the game and the Friday Night Fireworks that followed, only starting to pelt us with a few fat rain drops as we headed out to our car. Would that my Angels had held the lead anywhere near as well as the clouds held back the rain.
The game itself? It started off well enough. Ervin Santana pitched like the good Ervin, the one with control who can throw strikes. Peter Bourjos is amazing to watch in center, flying across the grass, making difficult catches look effortless. We had a few good hits, scoring one in the 1st inning and another in the 3rd for an early two run lead. The Jays were slipping and sliding all over the outfield. Everything was off to a great start, and then we started to strand runners. Vernon Wells failed to cash in on runners in scoring position. Additional batters started to strand more runners. A two run lead is not a very safe thing deep into the game and it didn't last. Santana gave up three runs aided by a few sloppy plays in the outfield.
By the time they brought in Fernando Rodney in the 9th – I know, not a save situation, but I was surprised! – I felt absolutely deflated. Rodney performed acceptably, allowing one runner on, but no walks and no additional runs. However, bringing him out just cemented the frustrating sense of one step forward, three giant steps back I was having after the stranded runners. Oh well, you never know what wonders or horrors you might witness when you visit: the Baseball Zone! I prefer wonders myself but I suppose that, in the end, a bad Friday night at the ballpark is probably better than a good Friday night almost anywhere else…and it's only April 9th…But Conger needs to stop swinging for the fences, Wells needs to find his bat and work on running forward to make catches, and everyone else needs to work on hitting with runners in scoring position. I'm not panicking. All of this will come in the next few weeks. But…seriously!
The Opening Day experience outside of the game? It was fantastic, from the first goosebump raising view of the field coming up through the stadium to our seats, to that first bite of wonderfully nasty ballpark hotdog that I have been jonesing for, for months. Eli Grba, the first Angel selected in the team's first draft and the Angels' first opening day pitcher threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Grba is the first of a planned string of Angels alumni to perform this duty throughout the season. He was so cute in the interview before the game, talking about how nervous he was to throw out the pitch after so many years and how his friends would make fun of him if he bounced it on the ground. He did just fine, but it's amusing to note that friends are the same everywhere no matter what the generation, and your best friends are the ones who'll affectionately give you the most grief when necessary…or when not so necessary.
The front office has switched up some of the music and the pre-game slide show for the 50th anniversary and, while I need to see it a few more times to remember all of the details, I'm enjoying it so far. The flashback 1980s uniforms were a trip and a half. I remember these uniforms well from any number of Freeway Series I watched as a kid, though I was rooting for the other guys back then. I am amused that the concept of flashback uniforms extends to colors, logos and jersey designs, but the cut of the pants remains identical to the modern uniforms – no skinny pants fashion faux paus for the sake of historical accuracy here. Actually I laugh mostly because I can picture the players emphatically vetoing the silly looking and, no doubt, less comfortable 1980's pants.
Fortunately, win or lose, here's the thing about the Baseball Zone. It's absolutely addicting. The first question I asked my husband this morning? So, do want to go to the ballgame tonight? He reigned me in a little – someone needs to sometimes! – but only just a little. We're going back on Tuesday night and trying it out in the view level this time because my no more than $15 per ticket and try to keep it under $10 except for very special games rules are in full effect. Sometimes I reign myself in too.🙂
Hopefully this evening's game, which is about to begin, will be better. Kaz is conveniently injured and on the DL. Maybe he really did hurt his back, maybe he didn't but he always seems to go on the DL right before his first start back after being obliterated by the opposing team. Either way, I'm excited to see how Matt Palmer does. Hey Angels, how about a little run support please? And by a little, I actually mean a lot.

I'm glad you got the game in anyway. Win or lose, live baseball is the best. Great pic, too.
Sounds like you had a good time. I watched some of the opener and last night also. I was surprised to see the Angels wearing the white throwbacks Friday. It was a nice touch on Opening Day, but I also really like the red jerseys they had on last night.
I am watching the Angels play the Jays now. Looks like Weaver has got in under control! :O)
I listened to Angels-Toronto on the car radio on the way home from dinner last night and I could not believe that game. Both teams had bases loaded in extras and both kept making crazy base running mistakes. I'm sure you're glad the Angels finally prevailed, but what a weird game!
Mike – Thanks! You're right, live baseball is where it's at, win or lose…but of course winning is better.
Russel – It was a lot of fun, even with the loss, grrrrr. The red jerseys are my favorite – simple and striking – but every Friday home game this season will be a "Flashback Friday" for the 50th anniversary and will feature a different retro uniform. I think it's a nice idea and can't wait to watch the Angels playing the Dodgers sporting the Angels' original interlocking LA logo, too funny.
Jenn – He did such a great job today! He broke his own single game strikeout record by three pitches. This is how I want to see my guys playing every day.🙂
Jane – Oh, our single admission double header all in one game? Yes, that was a very weird game. It wasn't just the baserunning either. Fielders on both sides had extreme cases of butterfingers and both bullpens kept walking guys and still nobody scored a run for nine innings. A win's a win, but this one was bizarre…and maddening.
Well, looks like the rest of the series turned out pretty well for you. I only caught Friday's game and a couple innings last night, but heard the Jays got hosed on an interference call in extras. Your opinion on it? (Still haven't checked it out myself.)
Was on the road and missed today's game as well, but Weaver's line looked like one of the best we'll see all season…
Jeremy – Bad call? What do you mean? That was a great call…yeah, I couldn't keep a straight face while typing that. The runner's interference call was the equivalent of the handful of times a year one of the umps suddenly insists that the second baseman's feet be precisely on the bag instead of straddling the bag without really touching it during a force out double play – technically correct according to the strictest possible interpretation of the rules but not the way the play is supposed to be called. Eh, it's baseball. This bad call went our way, plenty more down the line will go the other team's way. These umps weren't completely on the ball in any of the games. Vernon Wells struck out "swinging" twice this series when the pitch was a ball and he very clearly did not go around.

Emma – *grins* He struck out 15 on Sunday! That was a great game. This write-up was for Friday's game, which was an "eh" game. I haven't heard if Jeff officially retired this season or not. I know no one picked him up but I don't know how much of that was his decision.

This month's never-ending snow and bitter cold inspired a New Jersey family to create an amazing multi-colored "gem" igloo.
The Trokhans, of Old Tappan, N.J., filled 200 aluminum tins with water and food coloring and left them outside overnight to freeze, according to Yahoo! News.
They then molded the blocks of ice together with snow and water.
"We would stack two blocks together, fill the cracks with snow, and then pour water over it," Shawn Trokhan told Today.com. "After packing the snow, it would take about 30 to 60 seconds for it to freeze enough for the block to become stable. For the top of the igloo, we had to hold the blocks a little longer, but they still froze surprisingly fast."
The igloo took nearly an entire day to build, with family members working late into the night in subzero temperatures.
"There is never a good time to stop your life and take on some silly family project," Trokhan told Today.com. "But if you don't stop every once in a while, you never will."

Menard Finishes 22nd at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Starting from the seventh position, Paul Menard and the No. 27 SYLVANIA/Menards team faced handling issues throughout the 300-lap event, earning a 22nd-place finish when the checkered flag flew at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. After slipping back several positions in the early laps of the race, Menard was scored in 13th on lap 25 when he communicated to crew chief "Slugger" Labbe that the No. 27 machine was tight on entry and loose exiting the corners. The pit crew made a variety of adjustments during pit stops on laps 32 and 109 in hopes of remedying the issue. The Eau Claire, Wis., native maintained a position within the top-20 and at lap 156 he was scored in 19th, running lap times as fast as the leader. A two-tire pit stop on lap 202 allowed Menard to gain valuable track position, lining him up 15th for the ensuing restart. The Richard Childress Racing driver methodically worked his way up to 11th before coming to pit road one final time on lap 246 for left-side tires, fuel and wedge and air pressure adjustments. Restarting in 11th, Menard was caught in the middle going three-wide into the corner and shuffled back to 19th at lap 263. Struggling with a tight condition for the remaining 37 laps of the event, Menard ultimately finished 22nd at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Menard maintained his position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings and sits in 16th heading to Dover International Speedway.
Start - 7 Finish - 22 Laps Led - 0 Points - 16th
PAUL MENARD QUOTE: "It was a rough day for the No. 27 SYLVANIA/Menards crew. We struggled with handling issues for the majority of the day, especially there at the end. That last set of tires made us really tight and we just couldn't gain any track position. My guys never gave up and made a variety of adjustments all day to try and get the car to handle better. We'll keep our heads up heading into Dover (International Speedway) next week."
Harvick Finishes 20th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet team finished 20th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon after battling handling issues during in the SYLVANIA 300. The California native started the 300-lap affair from the eighth position and slipped back to 11th in the early laps when a tight condition through the center of the corners and loose-handling condition on exit developed on the red and white Chevrolet. Though he was struggling with handling issues, Harvick continued to hold a position inside the top-15 for the first half of the 300 mile event. The Budweiser crew made a variety of adjustments during multiple two and four-tire pits stops throughout the race, but the handling issues persisted and Harvick slipped back to 20th at Lap 213. Crew chief Gil Martin called his driver to pit road one final time, with 53 laps remaining, for four tires, fuel and air pressure adjustments. The Richard Childress Racing driver restarted in 23rd and fell back as far as 25th, before working his way back inside the top 20 at lap 269. Harvick maintained his position for the remaining 30 laps to finish 20th at "The Magic Mile." Following the event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Harvick sits in sixth position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start - 8 Finish - 20 Laps Led - 0 Points Position - 6th
KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE: "We struggled with handling issues all day and never could get it figured out. Even though we didn't get the finish we were looking for today, we're not going to let it get us down. Next week is another race and we'll look for better results heading into Dover."
Burton Finishes Eighth in the No. 31 Cheerios Chevrolet at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Jeff Burton started the SYLVANIA 300 in 25th at the one-mile oval of New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon. Once the initial green-flag waved over the Granite State-facility, Burton encountered a condition of loose in the entry and middle of the turns on the No. 31 Cheerios Chevrolet. A pre-determined competition caution on lap 30 coincided with a spin in Turn 4. This allowed crew chief Luke Lambert to bring Burton down pit road taking on four tires, fuel and making a track bar adjustment. Restarting 25th, Burton began his methodical climb through the scoring ranks. By lap 50, he was 17th when the caution waved one lap later. During this break, Lambert radioed to Burton that he felt like the track conditions were working in their favor. That became evident through the next four cautions and the halfway point when Burton first entered the top-10 ranks. Taking only two right-side tires under caution on lap 166, then two left-side tires on lap 202 helped keep Burton in the top-15. He re-entered the top 10 on lap 245 and remained there for the rest of the race to finish eighth, earning his sixth top-10 finish in 2013. He also moved up three positions in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings to 19th place.
Start - 25 Finish - 8 Laps Led - 0 Points Position - 19th
JEFF BURTON QUOTE: "We just got too tight there at the end to gain any more positions. We had great pit stops during the entire race, so my hat is off to the No. 31 Cheerios team today. That was a great Chevrolet we had, we just should have finished much better than we did. But, we'll take that top-10 and head to Dover (International Speedway) and do it again."
