CONSOL Energy Presents $25K Donation |to BSC's Mining Engineering Technology Program (w/photo)
CreatedMonday, October 18 2010
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
|CONSOL Energy recently presented a $25,000 donation in support of Bluefield State College's mining engineering technology program. Pictured during a brief ceremony at the college during which the CONSOL gift was received are (from left) Karen Harvey (BSC Director of Institutional Advancement & Planning), Chase Elswick (CONSOL Energy human resources coordinator), and Roger Owensby (BSC Assistant Professor & Department Head/Mining Engineering Technology).
Bluefield State College - 2010 News Releases CONSOL Energy recently made a $25,000 donation in support of Bluefield State College's mining engineering technology program. Since 1980, CONSOL has supported BSC's mining engineering technology program on a continuing basis. Additionally, less than two months ago CONSOL Energy (NYSE:CNX) and CNX Gas, its wholly owned subsidiary, announced the establishment of the endowed CONSOL Energy Scholarship in Engineering Technology at BSC, through which CONSOL Energy will contribute $150,000 over three years to the Bluefield State College Foundation to establish the new scholarship. The first $50,000 installment in that pledge was delivered at that time.
"The support provided by CONSOL makes a very positive difference in the lives of our students," noted Frank Hart, Dean/BSC School of Engineering Technology & Computer Science."The mutually beneficial relationship that CONSOL and Bluefield State have developed provides excellent educational opportunities for students and a well-prepared workforce for employers," added Karen Harvey, BSC's Director of Institutional Advancement & Planning. "We are very grateful for CONSOL's support."
Nearly 100 BSC students have benefited from CONSOL Energy's scholarship support in the past 30 years and more than 60 BSC graduates have accepted employment with CONSOL Energy. Gerald Kowzan, CONSOL Energy manager of human resources, and Chase Elswick, a BSC alumnus and CONSOL Energy human resources coordinator, participated in the presentation of this year's scholarship donation.

La Crosse's drinking water will soon have less fluoride in it.
The Board of Public Works approved a plan this week to reduce the level of fluoride to 0.7 milligrams per liter. It's currently at 1 milligram.
Officials say it's a fairly easy switch to make and will save the city some money. The change was prompted because of new fluoride guidelines at the federal level.
"People won't notice the difference as far as the taste of the water, or the appearance of the water or anything," said La Crosse Utilities Manager Mark Johnson. "It's just the actual dosage and the concentration of fluoride in the water will be reduced."
The city has been putting fluoride in the water since 1988.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Obito& kakshi's talk got old really fast -__________-
& Lord Minato FTW , naruto sensed him deal with it
Kishi should've just let that Biju dama kill the Shinobi alliance, and just have the Sasuke & the Hokages fight. Well at least they've arrived, hope next weeks chapter don't focus on Obito & Kakshi
Yep, I think Naruto knew about Minato. Idk, maybe he sensed him before.
haha there were some funny parts. but the things I liked:
1. Kakashi's new signature quote
2. Ino's expression xD
3. Bee in action again
4. Minato's grand entrance
but I'm a bit surprised Naruto didn't show any surprise of his dad's arrival.
So lame.
Naruto must love Orochimaru's balls for bringing Minato there.
fuk yea minato is a boss!
Yondaime Hokage killin shit! Lol that was pretty epic though.
This was way too epiccc
No difference from the Kyuubi. Same shit tbh
I knew this thread was coming. I'm with ya all the way. Minato tanked a TBB from the juubi like it was a shuriken.
But sadly it's not going to be considered as epic by lesser fans
Originally Posted by Henrik
No difference from the Kyuubi. Same shit tbh
Prime example
so naruto did sense them this make all my doubts clear
It surprises me seeing as how Minato had a hard enough time FTG-ing Kurama's Bijuu Dama in the past.
also anyone else find it odd on how nonchalant Naruto's reaction is to his father's arrival..?
Sakura was useful.
And everyone has Doton.
I wonder where he sent it.
Yeah it was a little cheesy, don't let it takeaway from the epic appearance though!
Same thing, but it makes people remember how fast instant teleportation really is.
I wonder where it vanished to? Lol
two demons in war
Originally Posted by Henrik

this one was a lot bigger

Well supposedly it was just a "seal" jutsu. Don't get how that makes sense.

Just watched the Landon Cassil interview
It was absolutely pathetic. Either he is the biggest Wuss that ever strapped into a cup car or Burger King put a halt to him ever having a thought in his head, in fear of all the Danica fans boycotting Burger King for McDonalds or something. He reminded me of a politican at a debate. Here's the question. Thanks for asking the question let me start by not answering the question & talking about everything but what you asked.
It was such a horrible interview I couldnt even it find it funny to laugh at him.
It was just...... bad.
But I did find time to laugh when Race hub said well thank you for coming on & talking to us about the danica incident. LOL. All he mentioned about it was how he didnt want to talk about it. LOL
Now the interviewer looked like a dork!

What is Online and Blended Learning?
Benefits of Online and Blended Learning
Are Online and Blended Courses for Me?
Tips for Success?
What is Online and Blended Learning?
Online courses and programs are taught entirely over the internet, allowing you the freedom to learn when and where you choose.
In an online course you will work both independently and with others, as you interact in the "online classroom." You will be working closely with the instructor and the students in your class, just as you would in a traditional classroom. In addition, you will also learn to work online, both independently and with others. Depending upon the course, you may interact in an online classroom and develop new skills such as participating in the class through online discussions or forums, collaborating through online group work, and working and taking responsibility in a team for class projects. You will not be entirely on your own, but you will need to learn good organizational and time-management skills to be successful as an online student.
Fully online courses are designed for students who:
- are interested in active and participatory learning, in an online format.
- are busy with work or family and want to replace travel and on-campus time with online study.
- value the freedom of 'anytime, any place' learning.
Blended courses and programs combine online and in-person courses for a flexible, student-centered experience.
"Blended" or "Hybrid" are names commonly used to describe courses that combine face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning. A significant portion of the learning activities take place online, and time spent on instruction that traditionally occurs in the classroom is reduced but not eliminated. This allows the student much more flexible scheduling, while maintaining the face-to-face contact with the instructor and classmates that is typical of a more traditional course.The division of online and classroom instruction for each blended course will vary depending on the course content and the instructor preference.
Your instructor will provide details regarding what class work will be required in class and what work will be required when online. Online course materials and learning activities vary from class to class. However, typical Web-based activities include online discussions, small group work, games, simulations, self-testing exercises, audio- or video-lectures, and tutorials. Blended courses are designed for students who:
- are interested in active and participatory learning, both in the classroom and online.
- are busy with work or family and want to replace some travel and on-campus time with online study.
- wish to retain the value of personal contact with the instructor and other students, instead of undertaking a solely distance education experience.
Benefits of Online and Blended Learning
The University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and other universities have asked students what they thought about online and blended courses. Students overwhelmingly have reported positive experiences, citing the following reasons:
- Students have greater time flexibility, freedom, and convenience by working part of the time or all of the time online from home due to decreased commuting and parking hassles.
- Students often develop or enhance skills in time management, critical thinking, and problem solving.
- Students have more time to reflect and refer to relevant course and other research materials when working and writing online than when responding in class.
- Students typically have 24/7 access to online course materials.
- Students usually receive more feedback, and more frequent feedback, from their instructors.
Students in blended courses also described these benefits:
- Students are likely to interact more with the instructor and fellow students since there are numerous opportunities to do so both in class and online.
- Students can participate more in class discussions since they can choose environment — online or face-to-face — in which they feel more comfortable.
Are Online and Blended Courses for Me?
Most students who take online or blended courses report that they enjoy the format more than a traditional face-to-face course that emphasizes lectures and testing. Almost all students who take online and blended courses appreciate the convenience and flexibility to adapt to individual work and family schedules.
We've identified four questions that you should ask yourself before you enroll in an online or blended course. Be honest with yourself and answer "yes" or "no" to the following questions to find out if blended courses are for really for you.
Do you express yourself well in writing and have good reading skills? Reading and writing are more important than in a traditional face-to-face course.
· You must be able to read others' writing — both your instructor's and your fellow students' — and understand what they mean.
· You also have to be able to write clearly and concisely, with few grammatical or spelling errors.
· You must be able to follow written directions to complete an assignment, and willing to ask questions when you don't understand what to do.
In other words, if you are not a good writer, or if you don't read well, you may not be a good candidate as a student in an online or blended course.
Are you comfortable working with computers and using the Internet? Being willing and able to work online, and to use computers in your work, is critical.
- You should own a relatively recent computer, or be willing to use a computer workstation in the University computer laboratories or in the Public Library.
- You should have a fast (broadband) connection, either through a cable modem, a DSL, or a "hardwired" campus or Public Library computer.
- You should know enough about computers to be able to upload and download files to your course Web site, search and browse the Web, use email, and interact on a discussion forum or bulletin board.
- You should be able to type (or keyboard) well, and be able to use basic programs such as a word processor. Some courses will require you to know how to use other computer programs such as Excel, PowerPoint, or Photoshop, so you should check out the course syllabus as early as possible to find out whether you will be able to meet the computer requirements.
Are you good at managing and scheduling your time? You will do at least as much work in an online or blended course as in a regular traditional face-to-face course.
- You must be prepared to schedule some time online several days each week. You should expect to login to the course Web site at least three times a week, and spend at least two to three hours doing online work. If your other responsibilities make this schedule impossible, you probably should not take an online or blended course.
Are you willing to take responsibility for your own learning as well as work collaboratively with your classmates and instructor? Online and blended courses typically place significantly less emphasis on lecturing and exams.
- This means that you must be prepared to do different kinds of work than you would do in a traditional face-to-face course. The work required may be more creative, may require more thought than simply memorizing material for testing purposes, and may ask you to demonstrate your understanding of the course ideas and concepts by applying them to real-world situations.
- You may expect to be involved in small group collaborative work online. Teamwork is common in blended courses, and if you feel that you work better in isolation from others, you may not find the blended format suitable.
Results to Your Answers. If you answered "yes" to all of these questions, then the online/blended style of learning is a real possibility for you. If answered "no" to any of the questions, online/blended courses may work for you, but you may need to make a few adjustments in your schedule and study habits to succeed. Your instructor or advisor may be able to suggest means to improve your ability to succeed in online and blended learning.return to top
Tips for Success
Most online and blended courses use discussion forums to engage and sustain a community of active learners outside of the classroom. These tips focus on best practices when contributing to discussion forums.
Time Management
- Check the discussion on a regular basis. You should plan to login to your course Web site several times a week, not just once or twice.
- It's recommended that you schedule your time in advance each week to login and do course work for at least 2-3 hours. This will help keep you from falling behind.
- Make sure that you read and reread your assignment — print it out for safety's sake — to ensure that you have completed all aspects of the assignment. It's very easy to overlook something in an online assignment.
- If you are posting to a discussion forum, read any earlier postings first to find out if you are on track, and to find out what others have said. It's not cheating to learn from others' insights!
- If you are responding to someone else's posting, make sure that you hit the "Reply" button so that the response will be linked by discussion thread to the original posting. Also make sure that the "Subject" header of your posting is the same as the actual content of your response. If it isn't, the discussion may have wandered off topic or your response may be inappropriate.
- It's typically a good idea to address the person you're responding to by name, just as if you were speaking to them face-to-face. It's also a good idea to sign your posting. This will make your online discussion more personal, and remind you to be polite!
- It's ok to disagree with someone, as long as you give good reasons for doing so. Remember that people are perfectly entitled to debate both sides of a course idea or topic, and that reasoned argument is an important part of a university education. Your response should never ever attack someone personally. You can disagree with someone, and they with you, while still remaining respectful.
- Use care when interacting online, since you don't have the ability to gauge a person's reaction or feelings as you do in a face-to-face conversation. In particular, humor should always be used very carefully and where needed, labeled as such.
- When you post, it's always safer to write your posting first using your local word processor, and save it as a separate file to your local computer. That way you can never lose your work if you are posting directly to the course Web site and your connection fails for some reason.
Writing Style
- When you post online, you should always use relatively short paragraphs, each one two or three sentences only. This will make your writing much easier to read.
- No SHOUTING! Capitalize words only to highlight a point or for titles.
Citations & Formats
- Identify your sources if you use quotes, references, or resources. Your work must always be distinctively your own writing, unless you have indicated otherwise.
- Most online discussion forums now have the ability to allow you to post while retaining formatting such as bullets, italics, bold text, etc. Ask your instructor or your Help desk how to do this, since the more professional your work appears, the more highly it will be regarded (and graded).

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. - (Nov. 28, 2011) - A Sunday afternoon fire that heavily damaged a commercial greenhouse on the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus appears to have been caused by the spontaneous combustion of peat moss, the state fire marshal announced Monday afternoon.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal's office issued a statement less than 24 hours after the building caught fire and said investigators traced its origin to a pile of "sphagnum moss" that ignited "nearby stacks of plastic containers that contributed to the spread of the blaze." Decomposing plant material can sometimes generate large amounts of heat, triggering spontaneous combustion.
The aluminum-frame structure fitted with polymer plastic walls apparently caught fire between 2:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. Sunday and quickly sent a large plume of black smoke billowing skyward visible at least 10 miles away. The distinctive smell of smoke lingered on campus as dusk approached Monday evening.
Lower Shore volunteer fire companies from Somerset and Wicomico counties responded and knocked down the fire to keep it from spreading to nearby buildings, including the Center for Food Science and Technology, a classroom building on the east side of campus that opened in 2003. An estimated 50 firefighters responded to the call for help, the state fire marshal's office said. No one was hurt.
"We're very fortunate there were no injuries," said Ronnie Holden, vice president for administrative affairs. "We want to thank all those volunteer firefighters who came so quickly and put out the fire."
Holden estimated the building's replacement cost at $6 million, while the tenant had an estimated $500,000 of specialized equipment inside the structure, the fire marshal's office said in its report.
UMES built and owns the 2½ acre greenhouse complex, which has been leased by a Chinese company working to expand its orchid-sales business along the East Coast. The 116,000 square-foot structure opened in early 2000 and since 2005 has been used by U.S. Orchid Laboratory and Nursery Inc. in conjunction with the university's economic development strategy of serving as a start-up business incubator.
University officials contacted their state counterparts Monday about the fire, but no decision has been made about how or whether the greenhouse could be salvaged -- or should be demolished.
Leon J. Bivens, UMES' physical plant director who lives nearby, discovered smoke coming from the structure as he was driving through campus. Bivens alerted two U.S. Orchid employees who were in a warehouse-type office building adjacent to the greenhouse and were unaware the complex might be on fire.
Officials from U.S. Orchid have not issued any statements about the fire, or their future plans. The building's interior appeared to be a complete loss.
Kirby H. Travers, a Salisbury-based deputy state fire marshal, was on the scene within an hour of the initial emergency call gathering evidence to determine the fire's cause.
UMES' Rural Development Center coordinated efforts to bring the greenhouse project to campus, where U.S. Orchid's operation involves growing 50 different varieties of orchids -- most of them the Phalaenopsis variety. The company sells potted orchids to wholesalers from New York to Atlanta and beyond, according to the Rural Development Center.

By Darrell Todd Maurina
Coming to Clovis in 1954 was a major change for New York City native Peter Hendricks. But even five decades later, Hendricks said he enjoyed his time at what was then known as Clovis Air Force Base — quiet was precisely what he wanted after having served during the Korean War.
"Clovis was like going from a crowd to a quiet room," Hendricks said. "Clovis was a very quiet community and the base was even quieter."
As a desk sergeant working in security at the base, Hendricks said his main official contact with Clovis was picking up airmen who had gotten into trouble in town, but even then, the work was easy and nothing compared to a tour in Japan, where his role was supporting bombers during the Korean War.
"We did do some town patrolling but very little. Every once in a while I'd check in with the police department," Hendricks said. Most of those picked up were either airmen who had overstayed their leave in Amarillo or airmen who wandered off base while intoxicated, he said.
"It was a dry county so nobody could drink, so if you wanted to drink you had to drink on base," Hendricks said. "Sometimes fellows would wander off base and the local police would pick them up and we had to go get them."
Hendricks said he wasn't prepared for the weather of the desert southwest.
"One thing that stood out was that I went to sleep after a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift. I went to sleep with the window open, and I woke up in a box of sand," Hendricks said. "I had to spend half a day cleaning up."
Hendricks said his better memories of Clovis included coming to town for movies and hamburgers.
"They used to have what would be considered today a forerunner of McDonald's, a hamburger place about a quarter of the way from town to base," Hendricks said. "The fellows would pull up with their cars and have burgers and malts."
"There was hardly any traffic on the road and it was mostly the fellows from the base," Hendricks said. "There were no lights on the road when you came in from town to the base. Everything was very laid back."
Building positive memories for airmen stationed locally is something Clovis has tried to do ever since the base opened, according to longtime local officials.
"The interaction between Cannon Air Force Base and the community is one of the best in the world," said Loyd Franklin, a longtime businessman in Clovis who helped begin the Committee of 50 to improve relations between the city and base.
"We've had people from all over the United States who have heard about us and wondered how we operated," Franklin said. "Strangely enough, whenever people were sent to Clovis, a lot of them they hated it with a bloody passion. But after they were here a few months and met the people they changed their mind just because of the relationship."
Franklin owned the Sunshine Theater, one of the local businesses patronized by Hendricks and many other airmen. Hendricks said he still remembers coming to that theater, and still kept in contact with some of the military friends he made while stationed at Clovis after he returned to New York.
"You can never forget the military, nobody does, unless they were brain dead," Hendricks said. "It's always part of your life."

Hello...I am going to be a 2nd time working b'fedding mom, any minute now!!! I am very excited as my experience the last time was WONDERFUL!!! My son who is now 3yrs old, breast feed until 2.5 yrs old!!! Although, I feel like I became an expert, I am feeling the tons tons and tons of questions coming back all over again! This forum is what HELPED ME so much throughout my last b'feeding experience and I now will be a tremendous help this time around.
Out of experience I know now not to try to introduce the bottle too early! I will be a working breastfeeding mom. I eventually will need to introduce a bottle prior to going back to work (I am going to dedicated 3 complete months to b'feeding on demand as I am home with my baby) My questions are:
1. When my new baby is approx 6 weeks old, would that be a good time to start to try to introduce a bottle to him?
2. I had several bottle troubles last time around and wasted too much money trying to give him a bottle that I thought was best, I eventually choose the bottle he was most comfy with. Are there any bottle recommendations anyone can make? My thoughts are to purchase 1 of several kind to have options on hand once I am faced with the fact I will have to give him a bottle (that makes me so sad thinking about it:( )? Any suggestions would be great!
3. I plan to co-sleep with the new baby. Are the sleeper beds, aka snug nests (the ones that can be placed in the bed with you) safe?:confused: I have read mixed reviews and I am on the fence about purchasing one? I did not use one with my other son, I did however, use the positioner which was fantistic! My husband was very fearful the first time around as he thought we would hurt our 3rd son with him being so small sleeping with us, but he became very use to having the baby in bed with us and it helped out a lot with breastfeeding at night, I got more sleep and so did the baby, I even noticed a better milk supply this way around.
Well right now, these are the top three questions I have...I am sure I will have plenty more to come in the next few weeks, months, and possibly again years:D ...I look forward to reading any advise, suggestions, and helping answer questions from my past and future breastfeeding experience. I hope to one day become a certified lactation consultant as this is such a rewarding experience.

Doris H. HookerFebruary 13,2013
Doris H. Hooker
CALIFORNIA, Md. Doris H. Hooker, captain, United States Navy retired, passed away on Feb. 4, 2013, at the Hospice of St. Marys in Leonardtown, Md. Doris, the youngest of three daughters of Elmer and Vera Hooker, was born in St. Johnsbury, on Sept. 4, 1925. She graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1943 and, in 1947, she graduated from the Mount Auburn School of Nursing in Cambridge, Mass.
Doris entered the Indian Service of the federal government where she lived and worked on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Rolla, N.D. In 1951, she was commissioned in the Navy Nurse Corps and had been stationed at Newport, R.I., Key West, Fla., Bethesda, Md., Philadelphia, Pa., Argentina, Newfoundland, Portsmouth, N.H., Twentynine Palms, Calif., Bremerton, Wash., Guam and Camp Lejeune, N.C. Her final duty station was at Patuxent River Naval Station in Maryland, where Doris retired as director of nursing services on July 31, 1979.
Upon retirement, Doris remained in the Pax River area surrounded by her dear friends with whom she shared food and family. During her naval career and her retirement, Doris always found time to be with the families of her two sisters, Margaret Kingman and Lucille Paterson. She loved time at the beach in Delaware or at a Washington Redskins football game with the Kingmans. She also loved spending time in Vermont at the Paterson family cottage on Woodbury Lake where she would fish, water ski, watch the loons and feed the chickadees. She especially enjoyed sitting on the lido deck with a toddy and swapping sea stories with her Vermont friends.
Although Doris stayed in Maryland after her retirement, she was a Vermonter at heart and had made arrangements to be buried in the Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph Center. Over the years, Doris remained a friend of the South Congregational Church in St. Johnsbury, and she was a regular attendee at Christmastime at the Barre Congregational Church.
Doris was predeceased by her sisters, Margaret Kingman and her husband, Edward, and Lucille Paterson and her husband, Arthur.
Doris is survived by her nephew Edward Kingman Jr. and his wife, Betsy, of Darnestown, Md.; her niece Nancy (Kingman) Dickey, of Tampa, Fla.; her nephew William Paterson, of Castleton, Vt.; and her niece Joanne (Paterson) Rose and her husband, Wendell, of Barre Town. She also is survived by seven grandnephews and grandnieces.
There will be a graveside ceremony with military honors in the Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph Center at a time to be announced in the spring.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Book of Remembrance, Barre Congregational Church, 35 Church St., Barre, VT 05641.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, is in charge of the arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

The Early Modern Jewish Library and its Christian Borrowers
Joanna Weinberg (Oxford University)
This year's research theme at Penn's Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies is Early Modernity—spanning roughly from the late 15th through the 18th centuries. This period is marked by several dramatic changes and transformations in European society, such as the printing press and the dissemination of knowledge in unprecedented and unforeseen ways, the discovery of the New World, the scientific revolution, and the breakdown of traditional sources of authority. These developments caused the shifting of traditional boundaries between various groups within and outside the Jewish world, such as Jewish and non-Jewish communities, Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, men and women, educated and uneducated, and rabbinic and lay elites. In the fall we are organizing a mini-series on Jewish-Christian relations in the early modern period. Our Penn Lectures in the spring will range from sixteenth-century Venice to communal politics in seventeenth-century Amsterdam to imagined "Jews" in eighteenth century literature.
Joanna Weinberg, Ph.D. teaches Hebrew and Judaic Studies at Oxford University. Her fields of expertise are Midrash, Jewish historiography, and Jews in the Renaissance. Her publications include a translation (with introduction and notes) of Azariah de' Rossi's The Light of the Eyes (2001) and I Have Always Loved the Holy Tongue: Isaac Casaubon, the Jews, and a Forgotten Chapter in Renaissance Scholarship (2011), which she co-authored with Anthony Grafton.

The common wombat is thought to be a descendant of the giant wombat that existed around 50 million years ago. The giant wombat's extinction is said to be caused by hunting and changes to their environment including pollution and habitat loss.
The common wombat is a nocturnal herbivore and gets to about 26 years old in the wild although some wombat individuals have been known to live for longer in captivity. Wombats eats grasses, shoots and bark which the wombat needs to keep gnawing on in order to keep it's continuously growing teeth at a manageable size.
Like all other marsupials, the female wombat has a warm pouch on it's belly in which the wombat babies are nurtured for the first few months of life. When the baby wombats are first born they are very small and undeveloped and crawl into the mother wombat's pouch almost immediately. The baby wombat stays in the pouch of the mother wombat until the baby wombat is around 5 months old. By the time the baby wombat is roughly 7 months old, it is able to care for itself.
Wombats have long claws which they use to dig burrows. Wombat burrows can easily become an extensive network of underground tunnels leading to small chambers. Most wombats are solitary animals but some wombats have been known to form underground colonies with other wombats.
Wombats have a few natural predators including foxes and dingos. Although the wombat is relatively defenceless when it is out and about, wombats are generally well protected in their underground burrows as many predators cannot follow the wombat into the narrow, complex tunnels.
Today the wombat is considered to be an endangered species of animal. Wombat numbers have been decreasing rapidly due to habitat loss and hunting by humans who believe the wombat and it's network of underground tunnels to be an agricultural pest.

Each year various news organizations look at factors like public schools, crime rate and diversity to come up with definitively numbered lists of the best and worst places to live in America. Having grown up in a town that's one of the best is obviously bad news because it proves that contrary to all that, "Man if I could only get out of this place" talk during high school, the problem was you. If, however, you were in the enviable spot of growing up in one of the bottom feeders, well, you can go back to having sex with that microwaved jelly donut because, fuck it, you're a product of your environment.
But even if it turns out your town wasn't the school of hard knocks you'd always thought it was, you still might have an excuse. That's because you probably spent quite a bit of your time in one of these seven towns, many of which are worse than anything they can throw at you in Battle Mountain, NV (The worst town in America according to The Washington Post).
7Cabot Cove (Murder She Wrote)
Crime Rate:
At first, Cabot Cove doesn't seem all that bad. It's an idyllic coastal community of only 3,000, so you can't complain about the atmosphere. Also, for a town in the typically unwashed state of Maine, the townsfolk are relatively attractive, consistently looking (and for some reason acting) like they just stepped off the set of a soap opera.
However, none of that changes the fact that if you lived in Cabot Cove from 1984-1996, there was a pretty good chance that someone was going to murder your ass. With a body count of up to eight per episode, Cabot Cove experienced an outbreak of no less than 800 murders during the time that Jessica Fletcher lived there. And the crimes tended to be local on local, meaning that over half of the population was involved in a murder in a twelve year span. (Hear that, Camden, NJ?)
Law Enforcement:
In a small town like Cabot Cove, you'd think that the limited suspect pool would have enabled the cops to solve murders pretty quickly. But time after time, the Cabot Cove PD would arrest the wrong person, falling for clearly planted clues like a suspect's hat being left at the scene of the crime, and ignoring obvious culprits like the guy in the corner laughing maniacally while steepling his bloody fingers.
Sure, Jessica Fletcher would set the cops straight in the end, but not before the cops would tell her to "leave this one up to the professionals." And just imagine what happened when the swinging queen of crime fiction was off on one of her many vacations. (Where people coincidentally were also always getting murdered.) If you live in Cabot Cove, you're either going to commit murder, get murdered, be falsely accused of murder, or you're a shit-stupid cop. Take your pick.
6Smurf Village (The Smurfs)
With its uniform blue skin tone, Smurf Village may very well feature the least diverse population of any town in the universe. As for demographic statistics that people outside of college admissions offices care about: the male to female ratio is a cross between the worst keg party you've ever been to and a daycare center in mainland China. And the fact that there's only one female doesn't just suck for the guys either-we'd imagine that every day was about as relaxing as a walk through the prison yard at San Quentin for the perky blond Smurfette. Let's just say she probably had to lock her door when it was closing time at the local bar.
Commentators have often wondered about the drugs the show's creators must have been on, but when you get down to it, the village was a very conservative, somewhat Fascist environment. Everyone held the same values, everyone used the same language, and with its insistence on substituting "smurf" for every other word, their native tongue may very well have been the most annoying and down right confusing code of communication ever created (Other than Hawaiian. What the fuck's with all the vowels, Hawaii?) In Smurf Village, "My husband's smurfing" could mean anything from "My husband's eating" to "My husband snapped and now he's hunting smurfs!" Unfortunately, there's no way to know because Smurf language is about as clear as a Door's song.
Oh, Also, It's Basically a Cult:
If Papa Smurf had emerged from his house one episode and told everyone that he was actually the reincarnation of Christ, and that they had missed the passing comet they were supposed to catch so all Smurfs had to kill themselves, we're not sure if we would have batted an eyelash.

Delay buys time for employers to set up plansRANDY Tucker
Cox News Service | July 05,2013AP Photo
President Barack Obama gestures during a statement about the Affordable Care Act on Friday in San Jose, Calif.DAYTON, Ohio The decision this week by the Obama administration to delay a controversial mandate that small employers provide health insurance or pay a penalty offered a much-needed reprieve to employers still struggling to come to grips with the law.
But the provisions of the law have not changed.
The vast majority of the estimated 1.5 million uninsured Ohioans, who will be required to sign up for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, will have access to subsidized health coverage through online health exchanges next year, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Enrollment in the exchanges begins Oct. 1, and will be open to employees who work for companies, such as restaurants, hotels and temporary staffing companies, that now do not offer health insurance until 2015.
If you dont have insurance and your company doesnt provide it, you as an individual will still have to sign up for insurance or pay a penalty next year unless you are exempted, said Amy Rohling McGee, president of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio. She noted that people with incomes so low that they are not required to pay taxes would be exempted from the law.
John Bowblis, a Miami University health economist, said the decision to delay the employer mandate simply gives employers more time to comply with the health care law and its complex reporting requirements.
This tells you how complex the law actually is, he said. There are so many moving parts that its extremely difficult to implement the law, and the government bureaucracy didnt give itself enough time to figure it out and communicate to employers the guidelines they need to follow to comply with the law.
I dont see this as being politically motivated in one way or the other, but you can see both sides using it to make political arguments for or against the legislation, he said.
Indeed, Ohio lawmakers and state officials who challenged the constitutionality of the health care law before it was upheld by the Supreme Court used the decision to delay the employer mandate to vent their frustrations with the law, derisively referred to as Obamacare.
Any relief that job creators can receive from Obamacares employer mandate is welcome news; hopefully repealing the mandate altogether is the next step because it is so burdensome on job creators, said Ohio Lt. Governor Mary Taylor, who also is responsible for approving health plans submitted for Ohios health exchange as director of the state Department of Insurance.
The employer mandate requires companies with 50 or more employees working 30 or more hours a week to offer coverage or face fines. It remains controversial and has prompted some employers to say they had to cut workers hours to avoid the mandate and penalties that range from $2,000 to $3,000 per employee.
But the mandate is only a small part of the ACAs overall expansion of health coverage.
At least 95 percent of employers subject to the mandate already provide health benefits, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
That figure was not expected to change next year even with the mandate, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which said the mandate penalty would not raise any significant revenue for the federal government.
Even those firms that offer health insurance to about 60 percent of Ohio workers have been scrambling to prepare for the implementation of the law and trying to assess the impact the changes will have on health plan enrollment and costs.
Under the law, workers can only be charged up to 9.5 percent of their income for insurance premiums, shifting more of the cost burden to the employers.
In addition, beginning in 2018 employers will be subject to a 40 percent excise tax on plans that cost the company $10,200 per individual employee and $27,500 for families a so-called Cadillac tax.
We share the cost of coverage with our employees, and of course were concerned about whats going to happen with health care, said Dave Dysinger, president of the Dayton-based precision machine business Dysinger Inc. This gives us a little more time to let things play out and to see what the impact is going to be.
We have a committee that looks at that, he said. Frankly, I couldnt tell you. The truth is my hands are full just trying to run a business.
Dysingers not alone.
A national survey of nearly 900 employers released last month by the health care consulting firm Mercer found that 32 percent of employers knew little about the actual cost impacts of the new changes resulting from the ACA.
In addition, about a fourth of employers (23 percent) were still unsure of how they would track and record the hours of employees who work variable hours, as is required by the law to verify that all full-time employees are offered coverage.
Meanwhile, 78 percent of those surveyed said they were concerned about the communication requirements associated with the new law, such as educating employees about their choices and supporting informed decision-making.
Regardless of the uncertainty, Dysinger said he plans to hire a handful of new employees this year and continue to offer health insurance.
Im not going to hold my company back in fear, he said. The fact is that the law is in place, and in may be a bad plan, but at least its forcing people to come to the table and look for solutions or improvements in providing health care.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

A habitat snapshot; The 2013 Upper Delaware BioBlitz
July 2, 2013 —
HANCOCK, NY — From noon on June 28 to noon on June 29, the Upper Delaware BioBlitz was held on a 63.5 acre tract, the "Gales Property" just downstream of the Delaware River West Branch confluence in Wayne County, PA. This property is owned by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation, and executive director Karen Outlaw, explained that this was the first bioblitz ever held in Wayne County or anywhere else in the Upper Delaware Region. Steven Schwartz, who organized this event, was inspired by a bioblitz he attended in Monroe County, PA in 2012 and he thought that the rich habitat of the Upper Delaware would yield even more species of flora and fauna.
A "bioblitz," a term first coined by National Park Service (NPS) naturalist Susan Rudy in 1996 during the first such event, is a "snapshot" of all species found in a target area in a set time (usually 24 hours). Because of the survey methods and the time allocation in a bioblitz, not every species in a target area will be observed, but scientists can look at survey results and determine if a more thorough study for a particular target species is warranted. A bioblitz is also designed so that the public can interact with the scientists by attending presentations or collecting samples and submitting samples for identification. Findings are presented so that the public (especially kids) can easily understand what is being presented. With this in mind, Schwartz got the ball rolling and a 12-person steering committee was formed. Funding and other resources were provided by several agencies and organizations, such as the Delaware Highlands Conservancy and the National Park Service. Volunteers were recruited to start days before and after the event to tackle the set-up and tear-down of tents, parking and all the other things that make an event like this work. Thanks to the efforts of all these folks and groups, the "boots hit the ground" on that drizzly Friday morning with high water in rivers and streams from torrential rain, and the Upper Delaware BioBlitz got underway with sample collection and setting up for the public programs.

Dec. 14, 2012, was my wakeup call. I was woefully ignorant about the gun violence in this country prior to that day. When I heard of the senseless killings of those children and teachers in Newtown, CT, I was brought to my knees in my living room in horror and sadness. I know Newtown; I lived there. It is just like my current Hudson Valley home, a small town filled with great caring people. That day, I counted down the minutes until 3:05 p.m. when I could go pick up my son from Kindergarten. I ran all the way to the school, held him in my arms and did not want to let him go.
On that day that I realized that my son and daughter are not safe in this country. There are eight children every day who die in this country from gun violence. There have been 3,524 deaths from gun violence since Newtown alone. This week marked the anniversary of the Virginia Tech Massacre where 32 people were murdered. April 20 is the anniversary of Columbine, where 15 people were slaughtered. It does not have to be this way. There are common-sense gun violence prevention steps that can be taken to lessen the chance of these tragedies happening again.
And there was a glimmer of hope that this might finally happen at a federal level with the Manchin-Toomey Amendment. These two brave senators worked across party lines and drafted an expanded background check bill that was easy, smart and patriotic. It was really the minimum of what this country should pass at a federal level to protect our families and communities. Infuriatingly, though, 45 senators voted against this bipartisan bill. The vote of these senators was cowardly and ignored the will of the American people. Over 90% of Americans support expanded background checks. There is no reason not to. A background check doesn't even come close to impacting someone's Second Amendment right. However, these legislators voted in favor of special interests instead of the best interests of Americans.
And so I say, shame on them. Shame on them! We in New York State are lucky to have Senators Gillibrand and Schumer as our elected officials, because they are truly representing us, the 90%, on this issue, not the special interest groups. And to them, I say thank you, and continue to fight for common sense gun legislation in our country. In a civilized nation such as ours, over 30 people dying every day from gun violence is far too many. And if you include the additional 50 people per day who commit suicide by gun, you're looking at 80 deaths per day. This is not right. This will not stand.
And so, to the 45 senators who did not listen to their constituents and chose money from the special interest groups over the will of their own people, I repeat—shame on them.
Oh, and they should know that, just like me, American moms are awake now. And we vote.

Wil Blades
Wil Blades
As the Bay Area's most prodigious young Hammond B3 champion, Wil Blades has kept the organ flame at a righteous blue glow since relocating from his native Chicago in 1998. Pursuing an old-school bandstand education, he's sought out knowledge directly from the source. The inimitable Dr. Lonnie Smith, the B3's cagiest master, declared that Blades "is the future…of the organ." Before he found the instrument, Blades worked as a drummer, and it's not surprising that he's thrived in the company of some of the world's finest (and funkiest) trap set stars. New Orleans drum legend Idris Muhammad played on Blade's stellar 2007 debut Sketchy (Doodlin' Records) and he's performed widely with Galactic's Stanton Moore. Last year he released Shimmy, a relentlessly grooving duo session with Medeski Martin and Wood drummer Billy Martin. The first three night's of Blades four-night SFJAZZ residency features the B3 master with his rhythm 'n' bop trio.

DS will be 6 wks on Tuesday but up to know he still constantly nurse during his waking hours. like today, i fed him starting at 8:30 am for about 40 minutes. he would eventually sleep but the moment he wakes up (i have a very playful toddler) he would want to nurse again. i would try to deviate his attention -play with him, try to put him back to sleep - but he would only want to nurse! So i nurse him again (after about 10 - 20 min of playing. breaktime for me). it's a freaking cycle until he goes back to sleep. its 11:30 now and i am still nursing. it's like nurse for 40 minutes, sleep for 10, play for 10 then nurse again! i don't have time to pump (unless it's wee hours in the morning, but that means giving up my sleeptime - we are on schedule at night, evert 2 -3hrs).
i'm so close to giving him formula so that i would have a break from nursing. nursing all the time keeps me from playing with and tending to the needs of my toddler. I feel so guilty not playing with him. I try not to get upset with him when he plays loudly around his brother, afterall he just wants to play and i don't think its intentional.
now i'm starting to feel bad abouta lot of things. i feel guilty for feeling "not wantung to nurse". it's like not taking care of DS2. i feel bad about not spending time with DS1. i feel bad about not being able to do productive things because i'm always nursing. i feel bad for considering to give a formula, makes me feel like i'm selfish.
thanks for letting me vent.

Hmmm lemme go double check my jug of it.
I checked it. It does say 8grams of carbs but shit that is low carb. You need a little carbs anyway for your body to even function
Optimum nutrition 100% gold standard whey. It not carb free but it is very low in carbs with only 3 grams per serving.
Trutein is pretty good.

No need for protein shakes on a Keto diet. Keep protein low/moderate and fats high.
If you really need a shake have 15g of your usual protein powder with 50g of peanut butter.
Any quality 100% whey isolate should be ok. Isolate is very low carb. As far as a ketogenic diet goes its really a misnomer regardless of what all the diet gurus say. You can get yourself into ketosis without a special plan by keeping calories low enough and eating as few carbs as possible. The problem with that us if you are training with weights and you just increase fat and not protein is that you risk losing muscle. To go keto and drop fat while retaining muscle you either have to increase protein somewhat or supplement with a quality amino acid supplement.

I also tried 200g Protein, 140g Fat, 10g Carbs, the results was not as impressive as besides fat I also lost some muscle tissue.
My personal experience makes me believe that a high protein intake can kick one out of ketosis as ones body will use protein as a fuel rather than ketones.
Not in the absence of glycogen. If you deplete the glycogen stores in the liver and muscle tissue during your workout and throw in hiit at the end of a training session then you will force your body into burning ffa which is what ketones ate the by product of. I suspect your results were due to other variables that you aren't accounting for. Unless during those two periods you describe you kept everything else identical then you can't attribute the diffeence to protein intake alone. There is definitely more to muscle retention than low carb high protein diets and im not saying you're wrong but its way too easy to say just do this because it worked for me but w/o more info on other variables it doesn't mean much. Protein remains the one macro your body cannot synthesize on its own. It can make fat and glucose from other sources.

Sticker Shock
West Virginians are going to pay more for health insurance under Obamacare than the president and his cronies insisted for years. That is virtually inevitable, as a report from the government itself shows.
For Obamacare to work, about 40 percent of those enrolling must be between 18-34 years of age. By paying unnecessarily high premiums because the program requires them to obtain coverage they don't need, younger enrollees subsidize care for older people.
Obamacare promoters were not able to hit even half that 40-percent target in West Virginia. According to a government report issued Monday, only about 17 percent of insurance enrollees in the state are between 18-34.
Adding to the challenge is that 45 percent of West Virginia residents who have enrolled in Obamacare are between 55 and 64 years old. That group is especially expensive to insure.
No other state had a higher percentage of enrollees in the 55-64 age group, according to the government report. Wisconsin had the same 45 percent.
West Virginians who signed up (or tried to) for Obamacare already are suffering from sticker shock. For many, even with government subsidies, the only insurance they can afford is the Obamacare "bronze" plan. It pays only 60 percent of health care treatment costs – and carries a deductible of $5,081 ($10,386 for a family).
Obamacare already is a bad deal for most West Virginians. If premiums increase as a result of the government missing its target of 40-percent enrollment by young people, the cost will be even worse.
West Virginia's delegation in Congress should take that as their cue to lead a coalition of Democrats and Republicans to repeal Obamacare. How much more bad news do they need to take action on behalf of constituents?

Free Shipping and Zero Sales Tax on all U.S. orders over $20 within the contiguous 48 states!
Super Discounted Shipping on all International orders of $40 USD or more!
Shopping for natural products is a lot different from buying products like clothing or electronics. Here are the most common questions asked by first-time buyers.
a.) Are products kept in a very clean, climate-controlled facility? (See #4 below)
b.) Can I see product expiration dates, so I know they won't expire soon? (#3)
c.) Is the company solid and reliable -- not just outsourcing? (#1)
d.) Will I find a large selection of top brands in stock? (#1)
e.) How do I know which products are best for me? (#2)
f.) Is ordering and reordering fast, easy and, most importantly, SECURE? (#6 & #8)
g.) Can I be sure my personal information is not at risk? (#5)
h.) Is the company "green:" — environmentally friendly. (#10)
Top 10 Reasons to make iHerb your number one choice!
Shop directly and save!
iHerb.com is one of the world's largest online store for natural products. We have been in business since 1996 and have two distribution centers, based in California and Kentucky.
Browse our site and you'll find over 1,200 brands and 35,000 brand name products that you may also find at health food stores and natural pharmacies -- with one important difference: Our prices are typically 30 - 40% less. Also, don't forget to check our Specials page for additional discounts on some best-selling products.
New! Extra 10% discount! Through our new Loyalty Credit program, get a credit equal to 10% of the value of the order (excluding shipping charges) you are placing now. This credit will be used toward your next iHerb order, if placed within 60 days.
Honest Customer Product Reviews
Unlike retailers that display third-party reviews, all of our reviews are written by iHerb customers. In order to write a review, you must have ordered the product from iHerb first. This means you receive honest and candid reviews, thereby helping you make a smarter buying decision.
Assurance of freshness with expiration dates
Because we have one of the highest product turnover rates in the industry, iHerb is able to offer you the FRESHEST products possible!
Our inventory turnover rate averages to 8.1 times per year; among the highest turnover rates, if not the highest, in our industry. This means that iHerb products are on the shelf an average of only 45 days!
Plus, most products we carry have expiration or best-by dates, which can be accessed on the product page. It's like holding the real bottle or package in your hand, as you would in a typical "brick and mortar" store.
Air-conditioned, super clean warehouses
iHerb's distribution centers are entirely climate-controlled, which protects the products from such conditions as humidity, heat and cold. This level of quality control is employed by iHerb to ensure product effectiveness for the customer.
In addition, our distribution centers are industry certified by NSF International, earning Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification.
Solid personal privacy commitment
Personal privacy is critically important to us. Since 1996, iHerb has never sold, leased or shared any customer information with third parties. Your personal information remains entirely confidential.
Enhanced 256-bit Encryption with Tokenization
When you place an order, iHerb secures the transaction with an enhanced 256-bit encryption process. Furthermore, iHerb employs tokenization, a security measure recently implemented by Apple Pay. With tokenization, credit card numbers are converted into tokens and used as a proxy during the payment process. If the tokens are stolen, the codes become useless, as they don't contain your credit card number.
Simply put, we only store the last 4 digits and the expiration date of your credit card, so you can identify what card you are using.
24 hour/7 day customer service
One of the ways iHerb can offer such low prices is by automating the whole ordering process. While our customer service agents don't actually take orders, they do offer live customer support from our California facility, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Pacific Time), Monday - Friday. We are also reachable 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, by chat and email to answer questions and resolve issues with your order. Of course, nobody's perfect. We may get quite busy at times and we ask for a little patience. We'll do our best to take care of things promptly, efficiently and courteously -- this is what our customers deserve!
Effortless ordering and reordering
Saving time is like saving money. We make the shopping experience simple, moving you smoothly from login through checkout. And reordering is a breeze, with as few as five clicks!
Library of information from unbiased sources
iHerb gives you full access to an incredible amount of unbiased, science-based information about alternative and traditional healing, nutrition, lifestyle, longevity and more. We offer customers and visitors alike access to highly respected sources of information, including The Natural Pharmacy, German Commission E Monographs and HerbalGram magazine. It's another way iHerb gives you more.
A greener way to shop
When you shop with us, you're part of a global solution. iHerb uses 100% post-consumer recycled paper for 90% of all shipping boxes. Our bubble wrap is 40% recyclable, and we recycle virtually all packing materials received from manufacturers. All in the interest of a healthier, more sustainable planet! Read more.
Super Clean: Both of iHerb's state of the art distribution centers are NSF cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) certified. Our two warehouses in Riverside, California, and Hebron, Kentucky, accommodate an expanding inventory of more than 35,000 items.
Super Cool: Both distribution centers are kept at a cool, climate-controlled environment that does not exceed 74-77 degrees Fahrenheit (23-25 degrees Celsius), plus we have large walk-in coolers for items such as probiotic-based products that need to be kept in refrigerated temperatures.
Experience the difference when you order today! iHerb.com has run a thriving e-commerce business since 1996. What is the key to our continued success? Simply this: we keep the customers' needs uppermost in our minds. Try us, and enjoy the iHerb difference!

Why Minimalism's Popularity Will Not Fade
One of the major rules when it comes to web design is that it's dynamic. The trends you see today – parallax layouts, dominant headers, ghost buttons, rich background and vibrant photographic content – will fade over time. Or maybe it's already in the process of being phase out.
However, another rules somewhat contradicts this, and that is the rule of exception. So what is the concept in web design that defies its ever-changing nature? Minimalism. Continue reading
Art Therapy to Induce the Healing Process
The essence of true emotional health centers upon life experiences and exploration of emotions related to each experience, yet many of us are encouraged to suppress our feelings from an early age. Studies show that repression of emotion can lead to varying forms of stress which may ultimately result in physical illness. The contradictions between societal pressure to suppress emotion and the human body's need to release emotion in a healthy way create conflict. Continue reading

Finding Mr. Right1 of 12
One fairy-tale-inspired adage that we actually sort of agree with? You've gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. After all, playing the field can be fun—and it can help you figure out which qualities you want (and which ones you don't) in a guy. Here, in no particular order, are 11 amphibians, er, we mean men, who may not be Prince Charming, but could bring you closer to happily ever after.
The Artist2 of 12
What you'll gain: He'll woo you with poetry, song, painting, etc. He'll want to talk about his feelings and he'll hook you up with free refills at the coffee bar where he works.
Why it might not work out: As a friend once wisely observed: You have to be wary of the sensitive guys—usually, they're most sensitive about their own feelings.
The Life of the Party3 of 12
What you'll gain: His enthusiasm and zest for life will be infectious. Your friends will adore him and there will never be a dull moment when he's around.
Why it might not work out: It won't be easy convincing him that a quiet night at home could ever be as much fun as a Steely Dan tribute concert. Plus, all his over-the-top antics may be a sign he's hiding some deeper, darker issue.
The Daredevil4 of 12
What you'll gain: This adrenaline junkie will convince you to do things you never thought you'd do: cliff jumping, sky-diving, downhill mountain biking. You'll both be so high on endorphins, that you'll wonder why you hadn't thought to try land sailing before.
Why it might not work out: Once the euphoria subsides, he'll be looking for his next rush and eventually, you may realize that his thrill-seeking lifestyle is practically an addiction.
The Aesthete5 of 12
What you'll gain: He'll teach you about cinéma vérité and the "mouthfeel" of wine. He'll introduce you to the opera and encourage you to read Kant and Kierkegaard.
Why it might not work out: Without even a hint of self-deprecation, his ways could easily come off as snobbish. You might be able to appreciate them initially, but when he talks about the burgundian delicacy of a glass of California Merlot, we dare you not to roll your eyes.
The Iconoclast6 of 12
What you'll gain: You'll become one with nature and take up yoga in earnest. You'll swear off red meat and discover that coconut jerky is actually pretty darn good.
Why it might not work out: All of his save-the-world, fight-the-system talk could start to get a bit sanctimonious. And you'll start to hate coconut jerky.
The Younger Man7 of 12
What you'll gain: He'll make you feel like you are the most interesting and appealing woman he has ever met. (If he's young enough, this may in fact be true.)
Why it might not work out: When you reminisce about the days before cellphones and Internet, he'll regard you with a mix of wonder and utter confusion.
The Older Man8 of 12
What you'll gain: He'll be the constant caretaker, solicitous and doting. Hungry? He'll make you a sandwich. Tired? He'll give you a back rub. Depressed? He'll fly you to Paris.
Why it might not work out: You could have a hard time ever feeling like a true equal.
The Jock9 of 12
What you'll gain: You'll feel like the prom queen dating the high school quarterback when you're out with him. He'll be strong and sturdy, but wholesome and sweet-natured in that corn-fed, aw-shucks way.
Why it might not work out: You could realize that beyond your mutual love of Friday Night Lights, you actually don't have that much in common.
The Rebel10 of 12
What you'll gain: His tough guy exterior will draw you in, but it's his sweet, sensitive side that will ultimately win you over.
Why it might not work out: He'll tell you that you're too good for him, that you deserve better, and then he'll ride off on his Harley into the sunset. Or you could find out he grew up in the suburbs, gets a monthly check from his parents and the only thing he's rebelling against is getting a real job.
The Player11 of 12
What you'll gain: This suave ladies man will woo the pants off of you—yes, as in, literally. He knows all the tricks in the book. Heck, he practically wrote the book.
Why it might not work out: He'll tell you that he's only a player because he hasn't met the right woman...yet! Sure, that could be true, but even if it's not (and it's probably not), here's the upshot: The next time you encounter one of his kind, you'll be that much wiser for it.
The Nice Guy12 of 12
What you'll gain: Potentially everything—comfort, intimacy, stability.
Why it might not work: If he's too much of a pushover, you might lose respect for him. But make sure that you're not writing him off for the wrong reasons. There's nothing inherently the matter with a guy who's super into you.

A Treat for a Jewish Flyer
Posted In
Lazarus "Larry" Zeidel, believed to be the only Jew ever to skate for the Philadelphia Flyers, had the chance Thursday night to catch his old squad take on the New Jersey Devils. The octogenarian played during the team's 1967-68 inaugural season.
Robert J. Mongeluzzi, a well-know Philadelphia attorney and a hard-core Flyers fan, invited Zeidel to the game after reading an April 12 Philadelphia Daily News interview with the former pro-athlete.
The story portrayed Zeidel — who spent many years in pro-hockey and won a Stanley Cup with the 1952 Detroit Red Winds —as a hard luck case with serious medical and financials issues. According to the piece, he had been admitted to Bryn Mawr Hospital with congestive heart failure, and, upon his release, his roommate declined to take him back.
But his neighbors, Joan and George Bradley, offered to take him in. The couple have some financial issues of their own and are raising their teenage grandchildren, according to the story.
The couple has said Zeidel can stay in their basement as long as he likes.
