Weis Market is set to open its first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified store. The supermarket, which operates in 162 store locations in 5 states, announced that the opening will be on December 9th in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania. The opening of this store has been an anticipated event by both the management and the various stakeholders in the industry. This is in an effort to increase the profitability of the company by reaching a wider customer base. The increase in the number of stalls is also seen as a measure of reaching out to new customers by bringing the services nearer to them.
The LEED certification is awarded by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). To get this certification, an institution needs to have significantly mitigated or reduced environmental impact in five areas, namely material selection, sustainable site development, indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency and water savings. These are the standards that Weis Markets Inc. had to meet to get the certification.
The new superstore is 65,800-square-foot and is the first LEED certified store in Weis' chain of supermarkets. The new location will have at least 160 associates serving customers. Founded in the year 1912, the Pennsylvania-based supermarket chain has stores located in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and New York.
The new supermarket in Fogelsville will have a much bigger perishables department that will include a fresh produce department of organic fresh produce with wider offerings. There will be beer sold in the in-store café, as well as a pharmacy, among other amenities. These are among the products that this chain of supermarkets prides itself in distributing.

Victim Kills Would-Be Robber
By Elizabeth Braun, Melanie Stout
MILWAUKEE - A 23-year-old Milwaukee man was being robbed at gunpoint when he pulled out his own gun and fatally shot one of the suspects.
It all happened early Thursday near 1st and Clarke. The 23-year-old man was walking his girlfriend home when two teenagers pulled out a gun and tried to rob them.
But the victim also had a gun. He shot and killed one suspect, 17-year-old Kevin Ollie. Ollie's gun also went off, and he accidentally shot the other teen robber before he died.
The robbery victim's family says he had no choice but to fight back.
The District Attorney's office agreed. Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said the victim acted in self-defense and will not be charged with any crime.
But the surviving robber, Damien Cole, 19, has been charged with felony murder for his role in the incident where some died during the commission of another crime.
He could get up to 55 years in prison on that charge.
Cole also faces charges of armed robbery and attempted armed robbery.

"The Most Famous of Sea Duels: The Story of the Merrimac's Engagement with the Monitor," and the Events That Preceded and Followed the Fight, Told by a Survivor. Harper's Weekly. February 10, 1912, 11-12.
The Merrimac was built in 1856 as a full-rigged war-frigate, of thirty-one hundred tons burden, with auxiliary steam power to be used only in case of head winds. She was a hybrid from her birth, marking the transition from sails to steam as well as from wooden ships to ironclads.
I became her second assistant engineer in Panama Bay in 1859, cruising in her around the Horn and back to Norfolk. Her chief engineer was Alban C. Stimers. Little did we dream that he was to be the right-hand man of Ericsson in the construction of the Monitor, while I was to hold a similar post in the conversion of our own ship into an ironclad, or that, in less than a year and a half, we would be seeking to destroy each other, he as chief engineer of the Monitor, and I in the corresponding position on the Merrimac.
In the harbor of Rio on our return voyage we met the Congress, and as we sailed away after coaling she fired a friendly salute and cheered us, and we responded with a will. When the two ships next met it was one of the deadliest combats of naval history.
The machinery of the Merrimac was condemned and she went out of commission on our return. She was still at Norfolk when the war broke out and was set on fire by the Federals when Norfolk was evacuated. Some of the workmen in the navy-yard scuttled and sank her, thus putting out the flames. When she was raised by the Confederates she was nothing but a burned and blackened hulk.
Her charred upper works were cut away, and in the center a casement shield 180 feet long was built of pitch pine and oak, two feet thick. This was covered with iron plates, one to two inches thick and eight inches wide, bolted over each other and through and through the woodwork, giving a protective armor four inches in thickness. The shield sloped at an angle of almost thirty-six degrees and was covered with an iron grating that served as an upper deck. For fifty feet forward and aft her decks were submerged below the water, and the prow was shod with an iron beak to receive the impact when ramming.
Even naval officers were skeptical as to the result. The plates were rolled at the Tredegar mills at Richmond, and arrived so slowly we were nearly a year in finishing her. We could have rolled them at Norfolk, and built four Merrimacs in that time, had the South understood the importance of a navy at the outbreak of the war.
I remember that my old friend and comrade, Captain Charles MacIntosh, while waiting orders, used to come over and stand on the granite curbing of the dock to watch the work as it crawled along.
"Good-by, Ramsay," he said sadly, on the eve of starting to command a ram at New Orleans. "I shall never see you again. She will prove your coffin." A short time afterward the poor fellow had both legs shot from under him and died almost immediately.
Rifled guns were just coming into use and Lieutenant Brooke, who designed the Merrimac, considered the question of having some of her guns rifled. How to procure such cannon was not easily discovered, as we had no foundries in the South. There were many cast-iron cannon that had fallen into our hands at Norfolk, and he conceived the idea of turning some of this ordnance into rifles. In order to enable them to stand the additional bursting strain we forged wrought iron bands and shrank them over the chambers, and we devised a special tool for rifling the bore of the guns. They gave effective service.
Many details remained uncompleted when we were at last floated out of dry dock, but there was great pressure for us to make some demonstration that might serve to check McClellan in his advance up the Peninsula.
The ship was still full of workmen hurrying her to completion when Commodore Franklin Buchanan arrived from Richmond one March morning and ordered everyone out of the ship, except her crew of three hundred and fifty men which had been hastily drilled on shore in the management of the big guns, and directed Executive Officer Jones to prepare to sail at once.
At that time nothing was known of our destination. All we knew was that we were off at last. Buchanan sent for me. The veteran sailor, the beau ideal of a naval officer of the old school, with his tall form, harsh features, and clear, piercing eyes, was pacing the deck with a stride I found it difficult to match, although he was then over sixty and I but twenty-four.
"Ramsay," he asked, "what would happen to your engines and boilers, if there should be a collision?"
"They are braced tight," I assured him. "Though the boilers stand fourteen feet they are so securely fastened no collision could budge them."
"I am going to ram the Cumberland," said my commander. "I'm told she has the new rifled guns, the only ones in their whole fleet we have cause to fear. The moment we are out in the Roads I'm going to make right for her and ram her. How about your engines? They were in bad shape in the old ship, I understand. Can we rely on them? Should they be tested by a trial trip?"
"She will have to travel some ten miles down the river before we get to the Roads," I said. "If any trouble develops, I'll report it. I think that will be sufficient trial trip."
I watched the machinery carefully as we sped down the Elisabeth River and soon satisfied myself that all was well. Then I went on deck.
"How fast is she going, do you think?" I asked one of the pilots.
"Eight or more knots an hour," he replied, making a rapid calculation from shoreward objects ashore. The Merrimac as an ironclad was faster than she had ever steamed before with her top hamper of masts and sails.
I presented myself to the Commodore. "The machinery is all right, sir," I assured him.
Across the river at Newport News gleamed the batteries and white tents of the Federal camp and the vessels of the fleet blockading the mouth of the James, chief among them the Congress and Cumberland, tall and stately, with every line and spar clearly defined against the blue March sky, their decks and ports bristling with guns, while the rigging of the Cumberland was gay with the red, white, and blue of sailors' garments hung out to dry.
As we rounded into view the white-winged sailing craft that sprinkled the bay and long lines of tugs and small boats scurried to the far shore like chickens on the approach of a hovering hawk. They had seen our black hulk that looked like the roof of a barn afloat. Suddenly huge volumes of smoke began to pour from the funnels of the frigates Minnesota and Roanoke at Old Point. They had seen us, too, and were getting up steam. Bright-colored signal flags were run up and down the masts of all the ships of the Federal fleet. The Congress shook out her topsails. Down came the clothes-lines on the Cumberland, and boats were lowered and dropped astern.
Our crew was summoned to the gun deck and Buchanan addressed us: "Sailors, in a few minutes you will have the long-looked-for opportunity of showing your devotion to our cause. Remember that you are about to strike for your country and your homes. The Confederacy expects every man to do his duty. Beat to quarters." Every terse burning word is engraved on the paraffin cylinderE1 of memory, though fifty years have passed since they were spoken.
Just as he had finished the mess caterer touched my elbow and whispered: "Better get your lunch now, Mr. Ramsay. It will be your last chance. The galley fires must be put out when the magazines are opened."
On my way I saw Assistant-Surgeon Garnett at a table laying out lint and surgical implements. I had no appetite and merely tasted some cold tongue and a cup of coffee. Passing along the gun-deck, I saw the pale and determined countenances of the guns' crews as they stood motionless at their posts, with set lips unsmiling, contrasting with the careless expressions of sailors when practising at "fighting quarters" on a man-of-war. This was the real thing.
As we approached the Federal ships we were met by a veritable storm of shells that must have sunk any ship then afloat--except the Merrimac. They struck our sloping sides, were deflected upward to burst harmlessly in the air, or rolled down and fell hissing into the water, dashing the spray up into our ports.
As we drew nearer the Cumberland, above the roar of the battle rang the voice of Buchanan: "Do you surrender?"
"Never," retorted the gallant Morris.
The crux of what followed was down in the engine room. Two gongs, the signal to stop, were quickly followed by three, the signal to reverse. There was an ominous pause, then a crash, shaking us all off our feet. The engines labored. The vessel was shaken in every fiber. Our bow was visibly depressed. We seemed to be bearing down with a weight on our prow. Thud, thud, thud, came the rain of shot on our shield from the double-decked battery of the Congress. There was a terrible crash in the fire-room. For a moment we thought one of the boilers had burst. No, it was the explosion of a shell in our stack. Was anyone hit? No, thank God. The firemen had been warned to keep away from the up-take, so the fragments of shell fell harmlessly on the iron floor-plates.
We had rushed on the doomed ship, relentless as fate, crashing through her barricade of heavy spars and torpedo fenders, striking her below her starboard fore-chains and crushing far into her. For a moment the whole weight of her hung on our prow and threatened to carry us down with her, the return wave of the collision curling up into our bow port.
The Cumberland began to sink slowly, bow first, but continued to fight desperately for the forty minutes that elapsed after her doom was sealed, during which we were engaged with both the Cumberland and the Congress, being right between them.
We had left our cast-iron beak in the side of the Cumberland. Like the wasp we could sting but once, leaving the sting in the wound.
Our smoke-stack was riddled, our flag was shot down several times and was finally secured to a rent in the stack. On our gun-deck the men were fighting like demons. There was no thought or time for the wounded and dying as they tugged away at their guns, training and sighting their pieces while the orders rang out: "Sponge, load, fire."
"The muzzle of our gun has been shot away," cried one of the gunners.
"No matter, keep on loading and firing--do the best you can with it," replied Lieutenant Jones.
"Keep away from the side ports, don't lean against the shield, look out for the sharpshooters," rang the warnings. Some of our men who failed to heed them and leaned against the shield were stunned and carried below, bleeding at the ears. All were in high courage and worked with a will; they were so begrimed with powder that they looked like negroes.
"Pass along the cartridges."
"More powder."
"A shell for number six."
"A wet wad for the hot-shot gun."
"Put out that pipe and don't light it again on peril of your life."
Such were the directions and commands, issued like clock-work amid the confusion of battle. Our executive officer seemed to be in a dozen places at once.
This gives some faint notion of the scene passing behind our grim iron casement, that to the beholders without seemed a machine of destruction. Human hearts were beating and bleeding there. Human lives were being sacrificed. Pain, death, wounds, glory--that was the sum of it.
On the doomed ship Cumberland the battle raged with equal fury. The sanded deck was red and slippery with blood. Delirium seized the crew. They stripped to their trousers, kicked off their shoes, tied handkerchiefs about their heads, and fought and cheered as their ship sank beneath their feet. Then the order came: "all save who can." There was a scramble for the spar deck and a rush overboard. The ship listed. The after pivot-gun broke loose and rushed down the decline like a furious animal, rolling over a man as it bounded overboard, leaving a mass of mangled flesh on deck.
We now turned to the Congress, which had tried to escape but had grounded, and the battle raged once more, broadside upon broadside, delivered at close range, the Merrimac working closer all the time with her bow pointed as if to ram the Congress. A shell from Lieutenant Wood's gun sped through their line of powder-passers, not only cutting down the men, but exploding the powder buckets in their hands, spreading death and destruction and setting fire to the ship.
At last came the order, "cease firing."
The Congress has surrendered," some one cried, "look out of the port. See, she has run up white flags. The officers are waving their handkerchiefs."
At this several of the officers started to leave their posts and rush on deck, but Lieutenant Jones in his stentorian voice rang out, "Stand by your guns, and, lieutenants, be ready to resume firing at the word. See that your guns are well supplied with ammunition during the lull. Dr. Garnett, see how those poor fellows yonder are coming on. Mr. Littlepage, tell Paymaster Semple to have a care of the berth deck and take every precaution against fire. Mr. Hasker, call away the cutter's crew and have them in readiness. Mr. Lindsay (to the carpenter), sound the well, examine the forehold, and report if you find anything wrong." Such was Catesby ap R. Jones, the Executive officer of the Merrimac.
When it was fully evident that there was to be a suspension of hostilities, and these details had all been attended to, several of the officers went to stand beside Buchanan on the upper grating.
The whole scene was changed. A pall of black smoke hung about the ships and obscured the clean-cut outlines of the shore. Down the river were the three frigates St. Lawrence, Roanoke, and Minnesota, also enveloped in the clouds of battle that now and then reflected the crimson lightnings of the god of war. The masts of the Cumberland were protruding above the water. The Congress presented a terrible scene of carnage.
The gunboats Beaufort and Raleigh were signaled to take off the wounded and fire the ship. They were driven away by sharpshooters on shore, who suddenly turned their fire on us, notwithstanding the white flag of the Congress. Buchanan fell, severely wounded in the groin.
As he was being carried below, he said to Executive Officer Jones: "Plug hot shot into her and don't leave her until she's afire. They must look after their own wounded since they won't let us"--a characteristic command when it is remembered that his own brother, McKean Buchanan, was paymaster of the Congress and might have been numbered among the wounded.
We had kept two furnaces for the purpose of heating shot. They were rolled into the flames on a grating, rolled out into iron buckets, hoisted to the gun-deck, and rolled into the guns, which had been prepared with wads of wet hemp. Then the gun would be touched off quickly and the shot sent on its errand of destruction
Leaving the Congress wrapped in sheets of flame we made for the three other frigates. The St. Lawrence and Roanoke had run aground, but were pulled off by tugs and made their escape. The Minnesota was not so fortunate, but we drew twenty-three feet of water and could not get near enough to destroy her, while our guns could not be elevated owing to the narrow embrasures, and their range was only a mile; so we made for our moorings at Sewall's Point.
All the evening we stood on deck watching the brilliant display of the burning ship. Every part of her was on fire at the same time, the red-tongued flames running up shrouds, masts, and stays, and extending out to the yard arms. She stood in bold relief against the black background, lighting up the Roads and reflecting her lurid lights on the bosom of the now placid and hushed waters. Every now and then the flames would reach one of the loaded cannon and a shell would hiss at random through the darkness. About midnight came the grand finale. The magazines exploded, shooting up a huge column of firebrands hundreds of feet in the air, and then the burning hulk burst asunder and melted into the waters, while the calm night spread her sable mantle over Hampton Roads.
The Monitor arrived during the evening and anchored under the stern of the Minnesota, her lighter draught enabling her to do so without danger. To us the ensuing engagement was in the nature of a surprise. If we had known we were to meet her we would at least have been supplied with a solid shot for our rifled guns. We might even have thought best to wait until our iron beak, lost in the side of the Cumberland, could be replaced. Buchanan was incapacitated by his wound and the command devolved upon Lieutenant Jones.
We left our anchorage shortly before eight o'clock next morning and steamed across and up stream toward the Minnesota, thinking to make short work of her and soon to return with her colors trailing under ours. We approached her slowly, feeling our way cautiously along the edge of the channel, when suddenly, to our astonishment, a black object that looked like the historic description, "a barrel-head afloat with a cheese-box on top of it," moved slowly out from under the Minnesota and boldly confronted us. It must be confessed that both ships were queer-looking craft, as grotesque to the eyes of the men of '62 as they would appear to those of the present generation.
And now the great fight was on, a fight the like of which the world had never seen. With the battle of yesterday old methods had passed away, and with them the experience of a thousand years "of battle and of breeze" was brought to naught. The books of all navies were burned with the Congress, by a conflagration as ruthless as the torch of Omar. A new leaf had been turned, a virgin page on which to transcribe and record the art of naval warfare.
We hovered about each other in spirals, gradually contracting the circuits, until we were within point-blank range, but our shell glanced from the Monitor's turret just as hers did from our sloping sides. For two hours the cannonade continued without perceptible damage to either of the combatants.
On our gun-deck all was bustle, smoke, grimy figures, and stern commands, while down in the engine and boiler rooms the sixteen furnaces were belching out fire and smoke, and the firemen standing in front of them, like so many gladiators, tugged away with devil's-claw and slice-bar. inducing by their exertions more and more intense heat and combustion. The noise of the crackling, roaring fires, escaping steam, and the loud and labored pulsations of the engines, together with the roar of battle above and the thud and vibration of the huge masses of iron being hurled against us, altogether produced a scene and sound to be compared only with the poet's picture of the lower regions.
And then an accident occurred thar threatened our utter destruction. We stuck fast aground on a sandbar.
Our situation was critical. The Monitor could, at her leisure, come close up to us and yet be out of our reach, owing to an inability to deflect our guns. In she came and began to sound every chink in our armor--every one but that which was actually vulnerable, had she known it.
The coal consumption of the two days' fight had lightened our prow until our unprotected submerged deck was almost awash. The armor on our sides below the water-line had not been extended but about three feet owing to our hasty departure before the work was finished. Lightened as we were, these exposed portions rendered us no longer an ironclad, and the Monitor might have pierced us between wind and water had she depressed her guns.
Fearing that she might discover our vulnerable "heel of Achilles," while she had us "in chancery," we had to take all chances. We lashed down the safety valves, heaped quick-burning combustibles into the already raging fires, and brought the boilers to a pressure that would have been unsafe under ordinary circumstances. The propeller churned the mud and water furiously, but the ship did not stir. We piled on oiled cotton waste, splints of wood, anything that would burn faster than coal. It seemed impossible the boilers could long stand the pressure we were crowding upon them. Just as we were beginning to despair there was a perceptible movement, and the Merrimac slowly dragged herself off the shoal by main strength. We were saved.
Before our adversary observed we were again afloat we made a dash for her, catching her quite unprepared, and tried to ram her, but our commander was dubious about the result of a collision without our iron-shod beak and gave the signal to reverse the engines long before we reached the Monitor. As a result I did not feel the slightest shock down in the engine-room, though we struck her fairly enough.
The carpenter reported that the effect was to spring a leak forward. Lieutenant Jones sent for me and asked me about it.
"It is impossible we can be making much water," I replied," for the skin of the vessel is plainly visible in the crank-pits."
A second time he sent for me and asked if we were making any water in the engine room.
"With the two large Worthington pumps, beside the bilge injections, we could keep her afloat for hours, even with a ten-inch shell in her hull." I assured him, repeating that there was no water in the engine and boiler rooms.
We glided past, leaving the Monitor unscathed, but got between her and the Minnesota and opened fire on the latter. The Monitor gallantly rushed to her rescue, passing so close under our submerged stern that she almost snapped off our propeller. As she was passing, so near that we could have leaped aboard her, Lieutenant Wood trained the stern-gun on her when she was only twenty yards from its muzzle and delivered a rifle-pointed shell which dislodged the iron logs sheltering the Monitor's conning tower, carrying away the steering-gear and signal apparatus, and blinding Captain Worden. It was a mistake to place the conning tower so far from the turret and the vitals of the ship. Since that time it has been located over the turret. The Monitor's turret was a death-trap. It was only twenty feet in diameter, and every shot knocked off bolt-heads and sent them flying against the gunners. If one of them barely touched the side of the turret, he would be stunned and momentarily paralyzed. Lieutenant Greene had been taken below in a dazed condition and never fully recovered from the effects. One of the port shutters had been jammed, putting a gun out of commission, and there was nothing for the Monitor to do but to retreat and to leave the Minnesota to her fate.
Captain Van Brunt, of the latter vessel, thought he was now doomed and was preparing to fire his ship when he saw the Merrimac also withdrawing forward Norfolk.
It was at this juncture that Lieutenant Jones had sent for me and said: "The pilots will not place us nearer to the Minnesota and we cannot afford to run the risk of getting aground again. I am going to haul off under the guns of Sewall's Point and renew the attack on the rise of the tide. Bank your fires and make any necessary adjustments to the machinery, but be prepared to start up again later in the afternoon."
I went below to comply with his instructions, and later was astonished to hear cheering. Rushing on deck I found we were passing Craney Island on our way to Norfolk, and were being cheered by the soldiers of the battery.
Our captain had consulted with some of his lieutenants, and explained afterward that as the Monitor had proved herself so formidable an adversary he had thought best to get a supply of solid shot, have the prow replaced, the port shutters put on, the armor belt extended below water, and the guns whose muzzles had been shot away replaced, and then renew the engagement with every chance of victory. I remember feeling as if a wet blanket had been thrown over me. His reasoning was doubtless good, but it ignored the moral effect of leaving the Roads without forcing the Minnesota to surrender.
As the Merrimac passed up the river, trailing the ensign of the Congress under the stars and bars, she received a tremendous ovation from the crowds that lined the shores, while hundreds of small boats, gay with flags and bunting, converted our course into a triumphal procession.
We went into dry-dock that very afternoon, and in about three weeks were ready to renew the battle upon more advantageous terms, but the Monitor, though reinforced by two other ironclads, the Galena and the Naugatuck, and every available vessel of the United States Navy, was under orders from Washington to refuse our challenge and bottle us up in the Roads. This strategy filled us with rage and dismay, but it proved very effective.
Our new commander, Commodore Josiah Tatnall, was burning to distinguish himself, but he was under orders not to risk the destruction or capture of the Merrimac by leaving the Roads, as General Huger's division at Norfolk would then be at the mercy of the Federal fleet. Week after week was passing and with it his golden opportunity. At last we went to Richmond and pressed a plan for a sortie upon the President. He returned one afternoon and ordered every one aboard. That night we slipped down the Roads and were soon passing Fort Monroe on our way out into the Chesapeake.
Presently our army signal officer began waving his lantern, communicating with our distant batteries, and then told the result to Officer Jones, who reported to Tatnall. "We have been ordered to return, sir," he said.
Tatnall was viewing the dim outlines of the fort through his glass and pretended not to hear.
"The order is preemptory," repeated Jones.
Tatnall hesitated. He was of half a mind to disobey. "Old Huger has outwitted me," he muttered. "Do what you please. I leave you in command. I'm going to bed," and he went below in a high dudgeon. Tatnall was a striking-looking man, standing over six feet, with florid complexion, deep-sunken blue eyes, and a protruding under lip. That he did not have a chance to fight was no fault of his.
Our life on board for the weeks that followed was far from comfortable. We were within sight of the enemy, and at every movement of the opposing fleet it was "clear away for action." Steam was kept up continually. Our cabins were without air ports and no ray of light even penetrated the ward-rooms. There was nowhere to walk but on the upper grating--a modern prison is far more comfortable. Sometimes the sailors waded on the submerged deck, giving rise to the superstition among the darkies that they were the crew of the "debble ship" with power to walk on the water.
Norfolk was now being evacuated and we were covering Huger's retreat. When this was effected we were to be given the signal and to make our own way up the James. Norfolk was in federal hands, and Huger had disappeared without signaling us when our pilots informed us that Harrison's Bar, which we must cross, drew only eighteen feet of water. Under their advice, on the night of May 11th, we lightened ship by throwing overboard all our coal and ballast, thus raising our unprotected decks above water. At last all was ready--and then we found that the wind which had been blowing down stream all day had swept the water off the bar. When morning dawned the Federal fleet must discover our defenseless condition and defeat and capture were certain, for we were now no longer an ironclad.
It was decided to abandon the vessel and set her on fire. We took the Merrimac to the bight of Craney Island, and about midnight the work of disembarking the crew began. We had but two boats, and it was sunrise before our 350 men were all ashore. Cotton waste and trains of powder were strewn about the deck, and Executive Officer Jones, who was the last to leave the ship, applied the slow match. Then we marched silently thorough the woods to join Huger, fifteen miles away at Suffolk.
Still unconquered we hauled down our drooping colors, their laurels all fresh and green, with mingled pride and grief, gave her to the flames, and set the imminent fires roaring against the shotted guns. The slow match, the magazine, and that last, deep, low, sullen, mournful boom told our people, now far away on the march, that their gallant ship was no more.

Studded Heels: For the Rock Chick in You
Back when I was younger, I got a bit obsessed with rock n roll that I actually followed their fashion back then.

text: Eagles eye top NRL perch Wed 30 Jul, 2014, 6:14pm Steve Zemek, AAP Tweet Email Print Winning... Manly prop Brenton Lawrence has been a key figure in the Sea Eagles' pack this year. Credit: Grant Trouville. Copyright: NRL Photos. After creating a four-point buffer at the top of the NRL ladder, Manly say they are eyeing their first minor premiership in 17 years.The Sea Eagles put one hand on top spot when they moved two wins clear of South Sydney, Penrith and Canterbury last weekend.Their win over the Warriors in New Zealand at the business end of the season proved especially crucial after the Panthers and Bulldogs both suffered upset losses.The Sea Eagles have been arguably the most dominant team of the past decade, reaching four of the past seven grand finals and winning two titles.However, they have not claimed a minor premiership since 1997 and prop Brenton Lawrence says the squad has targeted the achievement this season."I think it's something we're aware of but not getting carried away with it," he said."The guys, while they've won two grand finals, haven't won a minor premiership, so it's something that I would personally like to achieve."After 26 very tough rounds in the competition, it's very close. To finish on top is a great achievement."We just really need to keep winning more games and that's what we've been focused on all year."They will face a wounded Brisbane at home on Friday however Lawrence said they were wary of Anthony Griffin's team.The Sea Eagles have lost just one of their past seven starts and have been installed as premiership favourites.They have been beaten at home only once this year, a one-point loss to Melbourne in the opening round, while the Broncos are on the slide after four losses from their past five games.Lawrence said the Sea Eagles' pack left Suncorp Stadium with their egos bruised after the Broncos romped over them 36-10 in round 12.He said the match was still fresh in his mind and they would be hungry for revenge on Friday night."We need to consider the last time we played them; we didn't really play our best at all," he said."We let them roll through the middle a little bit more. It's something I take a bit personally."But we're back at Brookvale and we've had a good run at Brookvale this year and we'll be focused on continuing that."

Good news: Despite economic apocalypse, Obama's vacation still a go
posted at 5:12 pm on August 10, 2011 by Allahpundit
I know what you're thinking. "It seems like just yesterday that he was talking about a 'new sense of urgency' on deficits and job growth." You're wrong, though. It was two days ago. Maybe the mood passed?
Over to you, Zero Hedge guy:
We bring you this special announcement courtesy of the White House which has informed that American plebs that following a fantastic job well done, in which the market is now back to pre-QE2 levels, unemployment is near record highs, delays for presidential press meetings compare with Newark airplane take offs, pessimism is at record highs, America's credit rating has just been downgraded, the country was nearly bankrupted, and sales of end of the world provisions are through the roof (not to mention ammunition), president Obama is taking a well-deserved vacation at Martha's Vineyard at the end of the month…
Our advice: buy ELY stock: with the market about to implode, the president is sure to make at least one company's year.
The Bidens have already decamped to the Hamptons, you'll be pleased to know, and plenty of European leaders are still on vacay despite the tremors in the eurozone and ominous economic forecasts coming out of Germany. Although that's beginning to change: Sarkozy canceled the rest of his trip to deal with the risk that France is next up for a downgrade and the Netherlands' parliament recalled its prime minister to discuss the Greece bailout agreed to last month.
But you know what? If O is dead set on a little Vineyard frolicking while the global economy shudders, let him go. He knows the political risk of getting caught by a photographer playing hacky sack on a day when the market drops another 500 points. (It was down 519 today; two of the top 10 biggest Dow drops in market history have occurred within the past three days.) His approval rating's already perilously close to breaking through the 40th-percentile floor; 73 percent say the country's on the wrong track; and just one in four Americans still has confidence in the federal government to solve economic problems. The country's given up on him and on Congress, so what would be accomplished by having him hang around the White House to watch Europe and the NYSE implode? If he wants to give a speech mumbling about "recommendations" for the economy that he plans to get around to issuing one of these days, he can do it from the beach. Have a blast, champ.

I just like to check in on Amy Adams every so often. Plus, tonight is Office night so there is a kind of reason to the posting. No, she isn't going to be on it. Is she?
Al Green – London
OK. Andrew McCarthy is the Heidi Klum of actors. He is on set, goofing off and still does not take a bad photo. Damn, he is a good looking guy.
And sticking with the brat pack theme, Anthony Michael Hall shows that if you work and work at it hard enough you can make it back from probably the worst SNL hiring ever.
Apparently Amy Winehouse thought Halloween was yesterday.
Please don't let the glove thing come back. Please, oh please, oh please.
Brad Paisley is the most casual looking person I have seen going into Letterman in a long time.
Craig David looks great.

I'm starting to feel like a Daniel Craig fansite. Are you tired of him yet?
Not that I enjoy two days in a row of Gwyneth Paltrow, but I think everyone should have a chance at fashion redemption. Why I myself have been given that chance. I was under the false impression that rust colored shoes go fine with every color. I know, I know, but I have been saved.
Always nice to see Julianne Moore.
Just because it has been some time since Oliver Hudson was in the photos.
Yes that is Kevin Kline the actor on the left, but to all men throughout the world he will be known as the man who stole Phoebe Cates from the rest of us.
Katy Perry has officially jumped the shark. Or in this case a huge stick of chapstick. I'm not sure what this theme is. Some kind of pseudo sexual football player humping a big tube of something you put on your lips. Freud would love it though.
This bike looks way too small for Keanu Reeves.
I think that Luke Goss should be forced to stare at me for an hour just so he knows how most of us look.
I'm always putting Miss somebody or other up, so why not Miss Australia.

Date of Stay: October, 2008
We camped here for Halloween weekend. We had a great time even thought it rained. The kids have fun at all of the activities. The showers and bathrooms were very clean and everyone was very friendly!!! We would definitely camp here again!!
Date of Stay: June, 2008
We came to Quarryville, Pennsylvania, to this Yogi Bear Jellystone campsite for Father's Day weekend. The staff is very rude and the owner is very arrogant. He cursed in front of my children and tried to start a fight with my father by jumping in his face. He and his employees were very dishonest and the rudest people. My nephew won a fishing contest and the prize was a can cooler. Go figure. This is supposed to be a "family campground". He tried to exchange it for a slurpee, and he was denied. A slurpee for goodness sakes. The daughter is very dishonest saying that we cursed at her, but we did not even talk to her. This is a horrible campground! The waterpark was not open. The bath houses were despicable. The hospitality was horrible. This was our first time in our camper at this campsite and the owner ruined it for my children by trying to engage in a argument and fight with my father. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. We will never camp here again. Please look at older reviews of this campground. This obviously has happened to other campers. Yogi Bear Jellystone should not give this owner the rights to the name!
Date of Stay: January, 2008
This was a great campground. The bathhouses were excellent and very clean. I would definitely go back!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I have been doing Jogscotland for 5 weeks, nearly 6, and I actually feel like I am getting the running 'bug' now- love the feeling of 'I did it', the change in my body shape, etc etc.
I know this sounds pretty stupid though, but the runs are feeling a lot harder now as we are running more than walking (2/1 for eg). At what point does running NOT feel like a mammoth effort? Is it when I get to the stage of being able to run continuously for 20 mins or more, or before?
I realise no two people are the same, but I am concerned that if every run I do going forward is going to feel tougher mentally and physically that I will not last the course. I like so many want running to not feel like a mammoth effort every time, and for the whole run to be totally enjoyable, rather than getting that feeling at the end. I guess I am looking for re-assurance that there will be a point in the not too distant future when the run is easier...
But I just feel at the moment I am almost going backwards- I can just about complete what I have to do but it is tough. I have not had to quit yet, but there are times where I think I will not get to the end (even though I have, albeit approx. 4.3mph lol). I know we are told never to compare ourselves to others, but when you are lagging quite a bit behind the pack, it can be disheartening.
Having said that, I am absolutely loving Runner's world, the adrenaline rush, and I cannot wait to be able wear some decent fitness gear. I have even being doing strenght exercises in the gym twice a week too! Having your tops falling off your shoulders, and your trousers falling down at the waist can only be a good thing!
Sorry to have a rant, but would love to get some feedback on this, good or bad.
Hi Gillian!
I'm very much a beginner too, only been running since the turn of the year. I was also waiting for it to get easy! I think I've changed what I expect now. It's not getting easier, as my distance and speed are going up all the time, so every run is still a bit of a challenge. But what gets easier is that I know I can do it now.
Having never been sporty at all I think it's me training my brain to understand my body is capable of doing what I ask it to do! It's still a physical effort, but I don't get the mental block now ..
Not sure if that's helpful? But you've come so far already ... keep going!
I know other people will disagree with me, but I have run 4 marathons now, but still go out and struggle on every singel run. When I try to get people to run with me, they are always intimidated because they think I must be ultra fit and ultra fast. I have know convince a work colleague to come with me and after 4 weeks or so, she is is completely relaxed because she sees me struggling as much as her. However, of course, the more you run the fitter you will become, but not necessarily faster. I ram a 10 miler today and just after the 1st km I seriously considered dropping out because I couldn't imagine getting round, but I did and I did a good time too. TRy to shut out other people. I run my own race, so many people over took me today I was scared to look round, I was convinced I was last, but of course I wasn't. My husband on the other hand who has just started running feels completely pressured by other races and always goes out too fast. When I joined a running club I was always last and felt so huniliated, but I am one of the only ones of them that have run a marathon, but every day when I go out, I think "There is no way I will be able to run a marathon (or any other distance) in xxxxx weeks. You will get better, I promise you but try to not think negatively (says she who is always doing that). Also, remember that your brain is very clever and if you are running 5km for example, it will convince you that you can't run any further than that and you will struggle before you get to the end, but as your distances go up, you will find that you can do a bit more, but once again your brain will tell you you can't run another step, you have to start arguing with your brain and telling it YOU are in charge and actually you can run further and faster.
just seen all my typos, sorry, I am literate really!
I came to enjoy my long runs, if you're really struggling on a long slow run, you're either going too long or not running slowly enough. Now the weather's getting better (snigger, okay, it will one day) give yourself some time to get out and enjoy it, take it really slow and look around. a long slow run should be quite relaxing most of the way around, only the last bit should feel like a struggle if you're going further than you've been used to.
Short version, eventually you'll struggle less and enjoy it.
Gillian I have been running for 25+ years and I can tell you I probably only have 1 run per week when I really enjoy it. It will rarely be easy because as you get fitter you will set new goals. But every now and again you set out on a run and you feel this is good and you feel you could run all day, what has been described as runners high.
So keep going as it will get easier and remeber the ethos behind jogscotland is to get you out running / walking no matter your size, age, shape and most importantly speed.
It should be enyoyable! I suspect ypu are doing all your runs "hard"- too fast or too far. Do a few easy ones too- you should be enjoying the signs of spring as you are out,- and the company if you run with someone, or the peace and quiet if you run alone.
Don't pressurise your self so much that you hate it, cos you'll never keep it going.

I agree with roball. As part of your training you are going out to try to run farther / longer / faster. So it's all push, push, push. If you could go out without a watch or an app or whatever you are using to train or monitor your progress you could just enjoy it.
I had a great week last week. after thinking it was never going to get easier (4 months in) , I just ran and ran and felt comfortable and at ease. I thought "Ah THIS is it!" The next day I went out and got totally out of breath within 10 minutes! It seems that sometimes you seem to go backward in fitness before moving forward. I just try to enjoy it but don't beat myself up if I don't hit a target I've set myself. The temperature really seems to be my nemesis, cold air... urgh
Hi Gillian,
I am in a similar situation to you - started around the same time and having the same crisis of confidence. I have tried to step back a bit and just repeating some of the earlier runs again rather than constant push/push/push - which has helped build confidence and make me realise how far I have come along.

High Blood Pressure
Frequently Asked Questions
14. What lifestyle changes can help me control my blood pressure?
Some people can lower their blood pressure by making the same kinds of lifestyle changes that can help prevent high blood pressure.
- Follow a healthy eating plan that includes fruits, vegetables, fat-free and low-fat milk products, whole grains, fish, poultry and nuts. See how the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) can help with blood pressure control.
- Cut down on salt and sodium in the diet.Try not to eat more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day.
- Be physically active for at least 2 and one-half hours a week. Check out Exercises to Try for older adults, or visit Go4Life®, the exercise and physical activity campaign from the National Institute on Aging.
- Maintain a healthy weight, and lose weight if you are overweight or obese. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference are measures used to determine if someone is overweight or obese. See the BMI calculator to determine your body mass index.
- Limit alcohol intake to no more than one drink a day for women and no more than two drinks a day for men. Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure. Alcohol also adds extra calories, which may cause weight gain. (Watch the video for tips on how to cut back on your drinking. To enlarge the video, click the brackets in the lower right-hand corner. To reduce the video, press the Escape (Esc) button on your keyboard.)
- Quit smoking, or don't start smoking. To get help quitting, call 1 (800) QUIT-NOW or check out Quitting Smoking for Older Adults.
- Learn to manage stress. Learn about relaxation techniques that may relieve tension.
You may find it hard to make lifestyle changes. Start by making one healthy lifestyle change and then adopt others.
If you combine healthy lifestyle habits, you can achieve even better results than taking single steps.

Raising the survival rate of children with sarcoma in low-income countries will require steps to diagnose the disease sooner, train cancer pathologists, expand radiation therapy services, create multi-specialty teams to review each case, and other actions, according to an international study led by Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center researchers. The findings will be presented at the 42nd Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) in Boston on Friday, Oct. 22.
The study explored why, despite advances in the treatment of pediatric acute leukemia in six Central American countries, survival rates for children with bone and soft-tissue sarcomas remain disproportionately low. Information was obtained through ongoing collaboration and answers to a 110-item questionnaire distributed to pediatric cancer physicians in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama to get a better understanding of the barriers to pediatric sarcoma treatment in the region.
"More than 80 percent of the pediatric cancer burden falls on the developing world, and the challenges to provide effective treatment of children with cancer in resource-rich and resource-limited settings are different," says the study's lead author, Paola Friedrich-Medina, MD, of Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center. "This study aims to develop a better understanding of the challenges to effective treatment of pediatric sarcoma faced by our colleagues in Central America."
The responses to the questionnaire indicate that there was adequate access to standard chemotherapy agents, hospital beds, subspecialty providers, laboratory services, and imaging studies. But a variety of problem areas were identified, including heavy caseloads for pediatric oncologists, a disproportionate number of patients with metastatic (spreading) disease, inconsistent procedures for assessing the extent of disease and developing a treatment plan, and less-advanced radiation therapy equipment.
Some of the major barriers to better treatment included family financial constraints, fear of surgery, and lack of surgical materials needed to perform limb-sparing procedures. Other areas of concern were possible inaccuracies in the interpretation of pathology exams and difficulties in arranging for experts from different disciplines to participate in cohesive real-time multidisciplinary meetings.
"We believe that dedicated partnerships between institutions in high- and low-resource areas can nurture sustainable, comprehensive pediatric cancer programs in resource-limited settings and foster improved patient care, quality improvement initiatives, and important research," says Friedrich-Medina.
The study's senior author is Federico Antillon-Klussmann, MD, PhD, Unidad Nacional de Oncología Pediátrica, Guatemala City. Co-authors include María Sabina Ah Chu-Sanchez, MD, Hospital del Niño de Panama, Panama City, Panama; Ingrid Carolina Arambu, Hospital Materno Infantil, Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Paula Aristizabal, MD, Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego, and Hospital General de Tijuana, Mexico; Fulgencio Baez, MD, and Roberta Ortiz, MD, Hospital Infantil "La Mascota," Managua, Nicaragua; Soad Fuentes, MD, Hospital Nacional de Niños Benjamin Bloom, San Salvador, El Salvador; Yessica Gamboa, Hospital Nacional de Niños, San Jose, Costa Rica; and Carlos Rodriguez-Galindo, MD, of Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center.

Ask more open-ended questions. Gareth is such an interesting person and has a unique perspective on a lot of things. I got to interview him for RadioPotato.com a few years back and I learned so much. I'm so glad you are highlighting him but I wish more thought-provoking questions were asked.

Sacheck and Hoge Earn PING Honorable Mention All-American Honors
June 9, 2009
James Sacheck (The Woodlands, Texas | Zionsville H.S.) and Tom Hoge (Fargo, N.D. | Fargo South H.S.) were awarded with PING honorable mention All-American accolades by the Golf Coaches Association of America, which announced the teams on Tuesday.
A PING Central Region Team award winner, Sacheck recorded All-Mountain West Conference accolades for the first time in his career after recording a team-best 73.14 stroke average over 14 tournaments. The TCU senior notched nine top-20 finishes, including a second-place showing at the National Invitational Tournament, while posting a program single-round record of 63 against the University of Arizona.
Sacheck captured four top-10 finishes this season, including an eighth-place finish at the Texas A&M Aggie Invitational and ninth-place showing at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational. The TCU team captain was awarded with Mountain West Conference Golfer of the Month accolades for the first time in his career. Sacheck recorded a 30th-place showing at both the NCAA National Championships and NCAA Central Regional Championships.
Hoge became the first TCU sophomore to earn All-American accolades since J.J. Henry in 1996 after the Fargo, N.D., standout notched a third-place showing at the NCAA National Championships. The TCU talent recorded three straight top-five finishes to close out the 2009 spring campaign, including a third-place showing at the Mountain West Conference Championships and fifth-place finish at the NCAA Central Regional Championships.
In his second season, Hoge recorded a 73.86 stroke average while appearing in 13 tournaments where he recorded eight top-20 finishes. Hoge became the second fastest golfer in program history to win an individual tournament title when he claimed the Columbia Invitational in his seventh collegiate event. The TCU sophomore recoded a career-best score of 209 (67-70-72) at the Mountain West Conference Championships.
Sacheck and Hoge became the first set of teammates to capture All-American honors in the same season since Adam Rubinson and David Schultz following the 2003 season.

This is a discussion on Sig Sauer P250 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hello from Texas everyone. I wanted to share my thoughts about my new toy, a Sig P250 40SW Compact. I have looked at a lot ...
Hello from Texas everyone. I wanted to share my thoughts about my new toy, a Sig P250 40SW Compact. I have looked at a lot of the reviews and have to say that from what I have read and experienced are way different. My main EDC is a P220 Carry and I love it. I was looking for one in 40SW to minimize cost in ammo and was dead set on a P229 they are high for a range gun. I went to the local gun show the other day and picked up a bunch of the Polymer framed pistols. I tried SW M&P, Glock, XD and many others. I tried the 3rd and 4th Gen. Glocks hoping that they will make one that would feel good in my hand, no luck. I have never been able to find a Glock that I like (Never feel good in hand). I really do love my Sigs, so I decided to take a look at the P250. not the prettiest of guns but functional. Well I picked it up and the next day took it to the range. All I can say is WOW. It fed well and most of all it is dead on. It has very little recoil and feels great to shoot. Now on the issue of DAO, DA/SA and SA. I have fired many many guns and action has never been an issue for me. I shot next to an Officer who was shooting a striker fire pistol and we got to talking, I wanted to see if I could shoot this DAO pistol as fast as he could. I tried DA/SA P220 first and of course beat him on 5 rounds. Then I tried the P250 again 5 rounds and beat him with it as well. Best part is that I had tighter groups doing it. I have to say that it is a great little pistol and the DAO trigger at 5.5-6.5lbs is not bad at all. I also shot it out to 25 yards along with my 220 and I have to say that the groupings were identical. Well I guess this is my long way of saying so far it is a good pistol. Not a classic Sig but great pistol for a starter (which I am hoping that my wife will carry) best part is that you can change the grips very easy for husband and wife shooters or different hand sizes. According to a press release this is also the new pistol for the Federal Air Marshals. It would be great for LE that issue same pistols to various shooters with hand sizes. Three grips sizes to choose from I am sure that one of them will fit. So far from the grueling test required by the Feds for pistols it has performed well, and by the way cleaning it is a breeze.

When I was picking up my P220 SAO "Carry" model, I got to play with a P250. To be DAO, that thing has one sweet smooth trigger pull. It's ugly for sure, but function over fashion :)
I love mine.

Is it just frame size you can change with this gun or can you also change calibers within the same frame?
Thanks for the review! Ugly gun it maybe, but the beauty of function trumps all in my opinion!
*WARNING - I may or may not know what I am talking about.
Hey GoUSFbulls: I would not concern myself too much with at least the 45 caliber changeover. I have had a 9mm 250 for about 2 years now and immediately after purchase put in for a 45 changeover. I have called sig, I have spoken in person to a sig rep at a gun shop, I have done everything conceivable to find out what is going on. Sig has the worst customer service I have ever come across. They sold me a bill of goods on the changeover and it would be nice if they were at least honest that they are probably having problems making the 45 changeover. I dare you to find anyone who has the 45 changeover. All I wanted was a reasonable explanation but I cannot even get an answer via phone call, direct to a rep--there is no one at sig who will face up to this and answer a customer who spent big bucks for this 250. They may make a fine gun but I will never purchase another; there are many other mfgrs out there, who, for the money, make just as good firearms and at least will return your call or even answer the damn phone. If you like them and if you have an opportunity to actually get someone on the phone ask them about the 45 changeover. I'd appreciate a response from anyone reading this thread.

Kelcarry - I suspect something is "up" with this design. I have been trying to find some info on going between 45 and 9mm, but Sig has no info on their site except that you "will" be able to switch between 9/40/45/357. Your comments are the first I've heard regarding their customer service, but I find them interesting. Thank you.
Anybody have any more info on switching between 9mm/.45? or on Sig?

US accuses Burma PM over attack
South-East Asia Correspondent
Page Tools
The United States has condemned the appointment of Lieutenant-General Soe Win as Burma's new Prime Minister.
Washington has accused him of orchestrating an attack last year on opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in which six of her supporters were killed.
US State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the US had a credible report that General Soe Win was "directly involved in the decision to carry out the brutal attack on Aung San Suu Kyi and her convoy on May 30, 2003".
The US State Department said generals involved in the attack had been rewarded. Less than three months after the attack, General Soe Win was promoted to first secretary of the State Peace and Development Council. This week he was named Prime Minister.
The rise of General Soe Win, a protege of Senior General Than Shwe, sends a clear message that the military junta has no interest in resuming talks with Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy.
Early last year, General Soe Win was quoted as saying: "The State Peace and Development Council not only will not talk to the National League for Democracy, but will also never hand over power to the National League for Democracy."
The league overwhelmingly won 1990 elections, later annulled by the military, which has run the country since a 1962 coup.
Former prime minister Khin Nyunt, though not a moderate, was seen as the most reformist of the regime's leaders. He had met Ms Suu Kyi least twice. His dismissal followed a power struggle in the top ranks of the junta.
The attack on May 30 last year on Ms Suu Kyi and other members of her party left at least six democracy campaigners dead.
Witnesses said the toll might be as high as 70 after a government-affiliated mob set upon the convoy with bamboo staves and metal pipes.
In a report on the incident released earlier this year, the US State Department alleged that scores of villagers, students, and Buddhist monks might have been killed.
The attack and Ms Suu Kyi's subsequent house arrest led to a strengthening of sanctions by the US and the European Union.
The US has a ban on all imports from Burma, has frozen the regime's assets and imposed a travel ban on top regime members to the US.
The European Union recently imposed travel bans on members of the junta.
The junta enjoys trading relations with neighbours China, Thailand and India, and with Singapore.
Mr Boucher called on Burma "to engage in a meaningful dialogue and genuine national reconciliation".

Pool Table Refurb. Project
Let's see if this shows up:
Gotta be smarter than the imbedding scripts, lol!
Wow, those pics are grainy!
There are more pics, but you get the idea. Free 7' Masse table. Didn't match wife's decor. I wanted black and purple anyway. It's hard to find the proper felt in purple and at a reasonable price. The paint job didn't go so well, even with body filler, so I ended up wrapping the top rails with vinyl.
I kept telling myself "This would be easier building from scratch." I have the plans to build a better-thought-out table if anyone's interested...
I think it looks great ... and the vinyl is a nice touch.
is the table balanced? / level? ... did you shim the legs?
Thanks. The legs have adjustible feet that I also added felt pads to. The top used to have a wicked corner, but I guess I got rid of it when I put it all back together. I do need to re-level it, since we keep moving it. Trial and error with funiture and the whacky space.
You can polish a turd... :no:
Real wood - come on! MDF/particle board is a waste of time and I think it's only meant to be worked once. And when the vinyl woodgrain is on there - LEAVE IT ALONE. I tried scraping it off with a heat gun...yeah, the whole table would still be in pieces right now! The last rail fell apart at the bumpers and broke in half at the middle pocket. Luckily I fixed it. I was about to go Chuck Norris on it!!!
how hard was it to refelt the table and make sure no wrinkles are in it?

Full name Melvin Oliver
School: Louisiana State
Position: Defensive end
Height: 6-foot-2½
Weight: 276
Year: Fifth-year senior
40-yard dash: 5.10 seconds
Biography: Two-year starter for Tigers who was used at both tackle and end. Has experience playing defensive tackle on downs with pass-heavy tendencies. Played in 52 games for the Tigers, starting 24 times, including all 13 games as a senior and 10 times as a junior. Finished career with 20 sacks, which ties as the fourth-highest total in school history. Had a total of 26.5 tackles for losses during his career. Combined with Kyle Williams, Claude Wroten and Chase Pittman to give LSU one of the most dominant defensive fronts in college football last season. Led all Tiger defensive linemen with 67 tackles, nine sacks and 11 tackles for losses. The nine sacks tie for the seventh-highest single-season total in school history. Was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance against the Arkansas. Capped his career with Tigers by being named Defensive MVP of the Peach Bowl after recording five tackles, including two tackles for losses and a sack in the 40-3 LSU win. Had impressive redshirt freshman season in 2002, earning second-team Freshman All-American honors by the Sporting News.
Positives: Oliver is a productive defensive lineman coming off a breakout senior campaign. Plays low with leverage, quickly gets off the snap and is rarely off his feet. Collapses laterally defending the run and is relentless in pursuit of the ball handler. Displays speed off the edge and immediately locates the ball. He possesses advantageous size and is solid anchoring against the run when lined up at defensive end. Takes adequate pursuit angles and has the skill to close down cutback lanes. Has shown flashes of ability to collapse the pocket when rushing the passer. Is a good athlete with the quick feet and playing speed to chase down ball carriers on runs away between the offensive tackles. He flashes ability to beat one-on-one pass blocks with hand use and quick feet. He has good instincts, which combine with his athleticism to let him 'Peel' off rush to pick up the running back on short dump-off passes. He is a versatile defensive linemen who has experience lining up at end and sliding inside to defensive tackle on passing downs.
Negatives: He lacks the speed and explosiveness off the ball to be a NFL edge rusher, and doesn't have optimum size to play tackle. Works hard in the weight room yet does not translate that strength onto the field. Not fluid moving about the field, and he does not cover a large area. Doesn't always hustle at a consistent level. Can be driven off the ball too easily, getting pinned inside by side/seal blocks and driven down the line of scrimmage. He does not use his hands well vs. blockers and struggles to shed quick enough.
Analysis: Cranking up his play last season, Oliver is a prospect who can defend both the run and pass and offers potential as a two-gap end in a 3-4 defense or could back up as a five-technique lineman. Has had some character issues in the past, but they didn't cause 49ers coach Mike Nolan to red-flag him. Oliver is ideally suited to be tried as a strong-side defensive end because he has the strength to hold up as an end and the athleticism to avoid pass blocking offensive tackles out in space, and that is likely how the 49ers will attempt to use him.
Niners No. 6c pick: Melvin Oliver

I tried <margins, dydx(X)> but I get an error message "e(sample) does

I never met Karen Gelzinis, the wife of Herald columnist Peter Gelzinis. But judging from the obituaries in today's Globe and Sunday's Herald, she was a remarkable woman who touched a lot of lives. Here's a representative anecdote from the Globe piece:
[Peter Gelzinis] said his wife's standing sometimes helped his own career.
In an LA Times article that was reprinted in today's Globe, reporter Richard Fausset speculates on the implications of the use of "ain't" by Anh Cao, a Vietnamese-American challenger to Congressman William Jefferson, who's black:
Anh "Joseph" Cao, who hopes to be the first Vietnamese American elected to Congress, was helping a TV interviewer with the pronunciation of his name It's not "cow" but "gow," he explained recently, with a hard G.
Sarah Palin and Boston city councilor Chuck Turner probably don't agree on much, but they're definitely united in their low regard for the Fourth Estate.
At a press conference this afternoon on City Hall Plaza, Turner--who was recently arrested on a federal bribery charge--seemed angrier at the press than at law enforcement or City Council president Maureen Feeney, who stripped Turner of his committee chairmanships last week and then scheduled a meeting today at which Turner's fate on the council was going to be decided.
Boston.com is currently hyping an interview with recently arrested Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner on its front page. This is an exceedingly smart move, since the Q-and-A (conducted by former city councilor Tom Keane for a piece in next Sunday's Globe Magazine) has Turner arguing--passionately and at great length--that politics and ethics don't go together:
Bad, bad day for the Boston Globe's parent company. From the New York Times's own write-up:
The New York Times Company sharply reduced its dividend on Thursday, just a year and a half after a major increase, as the company seeks to conserve cash amid concern about dwindling profit.Directors cut the quarterly dividend to 6 cents from 23 cents, which would save the company $97.
It's hard to imagine a more service-y Globe story on the Red Sox than today's front-page piece, which describes the Sox's decision to freeze ticket prices. Consider:
Wall Street is panicking, businesses are collapsing, home
foreclosures have swept the land. As the government looks at bailing
out banks and the nation's behemoth auto industry, one of New England's
venerable institutions, the Red Sox, is trying to do its part to ease
the pain of a troubled economy.
Forty-two positions total, in the circulation/marketing and advertising departments, including senior managers.
That's just one of the developments reported in an internal memo from Globe publisher Steve Ainsley today. Also of note: Boston.com now reports to the Globe rather than to New York Times Digital. This is less dramatic than it sounds, however, since certain parts of Boston.
According to the Boston Globe, the paper's redesign in general--and the debut of "g" in particular--is all about serving readers better. For example, here's how the paper pitched "g" in today's explanation to readers:
Our new magazine-style section will be called "g" — for Globe — and it
reflects what you, our readers, have been telling us about how you
prefer to receive your reviews, previews, profiles and arts, culture
and features coverage.
My initial thoughts:
--"g" actually looks good, notwithstanding some uninspired cover art. There's plenty of editorial heft inside, and the "Parting Shot" feature on the penultimate page has tons of potential. Also, let's hope the graphic accompanying Alex Beam's column is his and his alone; it's very apt.
--The revamped pics for the metro columnists? Not so hot, at least judging from Adrian Walker's.
The New York Times Co. didn't have such a hot third quarter, period--but the company seems especially down on the New England Media Group, which includes the Boston Globe and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. From Bloomberg:
The publisher plans to write down the value of its New
England newspapers, including the Boston Globe, by as much as
$150 million.
In my recent column on media conflicts-of-interest and their disclosure, I credited the Boston Globe for finally realizing that the connection between its corporate parent, the NY Times Co., and the Boston Red Sox should always be noted.
But judging from today's Sox advertorial--which opens with the dubious claim, "When the Red Sox are up, it doesn't matter that the Dow is down"--I spoke too soon.
Yes, today's lead Wall Street Journal editorial has bad things to say about both John McCain and Barack Obama's responses to the ongoing economic meltdown. But it also praises Obama's desire to hold Friday's presidential debate as scheduled:
Mr. Obama was right on the merits, and politically shrewd, to respond to Mr.
There may have been other cases in which the Globe editorialized online hours after a given story broke, but I can't think of any.
In any case: the paper's editorial page has already weighed in on John McCain's proposal to cancel Friday's debate and grind the presidential campaign to a halt. An excerpt:
McCain's desire to seize the initiative is understandable, for the
meltdown on an ill-regulated Wall Street is the harshest indictment
possible of Republican stewardship of the economy.
It's easy, when grappling with questions like how mortage-backed securities actually work, to lose sight of the fact that Wall Street's current crisis has moral as well as financial implications.
So thank you, Joan Vennochi, for your column in today's Globe, which admirably captures that point. An excerpt:
The country's conservative moralists shake their finger at
low-income home buyers who dared to make a grab for a humble piece of
the American dream.
Yesterday, in a nice recap of the debate between John Kerry and Ed O'Reilly, the Globe's Matt Viser wrote:
In his reelection campaign in 2004 [sic]*, Mayor Thomas M. Menino assiduously
avoided debating his opponent, Maura A. Hennigan, although he agreed to
face her in an hourlong lunch hosted by the Globe at the Locke-Ober
