"Simple lifestyle changes can have a great impact when it comes to a teen's overall health. I teach my patients basic tools that can help them eat better, move more and feel happier." Greenfield will discuss "Co-Parenting in Two Homes," a challenge that is often an ongoing struggle for parents who live separately. She will offer tips about lessening conflict between parents so they can work together to raise their children. Greenfield is a licensed clinical professional counselor and the clinical supervisor of behavioral health programs at Centegra Health System. She has worked with children and families as a therapist, a crisis worker, a diagnostician and an educator."Children whose parents are divorced often say they're most stressed by conflict between their parents," Greenfield said.

Other topics at Parent University 2011 will include teen health, counseling, education and bullying. For more information about Parent University, call (815) 337-5146.

Eastern Box Turtle
This is an Eastern Box Turtle who decided my driveway was a great place to hang out. I believe these are in every county in West Virginia so it is hardly rare, but still nice to see when out and about walking.
Although turtles can live to be more than a hundred years old most do not live that long. At least not in the wild where thirty to forty years is much more average.
Round here it is not unusual to see them trying to cross main roads and I am sure there is a pretty high death toll from roads alone. They don't exactly run to get out of the way unfortunately, and it is all too easy to round a corner and not be able to do a thing in time to avoid them.… Read the rest
WV Flash Floods – July 11th 2015
The rain overnight of was positively biblical in its intensity. The road out of the hollow is impassible – I doubt even a 4WD truck would make it without damage – the road now has 18 inch deep gullies running along it. Nobody will be going anywhere until the department of highways decides to come and fix it.
We got off quite lightly but some of our neighbors were not so lucky. Even though several streams run through the area, they were not the problem. Yes, they are up significantly and we are acquiring an impressive range of debris from further up the mountain but the real damage was caused by the sheer volume of runoff from the mountainside.… Read the rest

An Elderly Man's Weekend
An elderly white-haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young blonde at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.
The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," he said.
The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.
The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, "By check. … Read the rest
Redneck Joke
The 100 MPH Goat…
Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.
The first hunter says "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is?"
The second hunter says "I don't know, let's throw something down and listen, and see how long it takes to hit bottom."
The first hunter says "There's this old automobile transmission here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see".
So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, two and three,and throw it in the hole.… Read the rest

Talking HER diary vs HIS diary
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink.
I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.
Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk.
He agreed, but he didn't say much.
I asked him what was wrong; he said, 'Nothing.'
I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.… Read the rest
What's With The "All New?"
Having lived in the US for quite a few years now I am still somewhat bemused at the constant usage of the phrase "All New." All new? As opposed to what? Partly new? Mostly new? Just a little bit new? New is a perfectly good word in its own right and has a very clear meaning and/or connotation. So when and why did someone think that it need "all" in front of it to get the point across?… Read the rest
Cheaper To Let Your House Burn?
I recently received my yearly "give us money" missive from our local fire department. Nothing too unusual there. I am sure that most Americans get similar letters too. This year though, there is an added twist. This year it's not the usual "we need your help" type letter – it's a "give us money or else" demand.
"Or else what?" I hear you ask. Well may you ask. My local fire department has now adopted the practice (totally illegal in many states but not West Virginia apparently – of billing anyone who uses their services who hasn't coughed up the "voluntary" donation.… Read the rest
The Movie "Tripper" And Robert F. Kennedy Jr
Those of you who know me will know that I am a movie fan. I picked up a dvd a while back – The Tripper – and finally got around to watching it. I liked the movie. It was a fun little comic horror effort that appealed to my somewhat warped sense of humor. The movie had quite a strong political theme in some ways and definitely had a bone to pick with some of the "sacred cows" of American history. But what really got my attention though were the credits believe it or not. Usually the credits roll to music but not this time. They rolled to a speech. And it floored me. I am not used to American politicians telling it like it is rather than what they want you to think it is.… Read the rest
Hands Up All Those Who Want A Civil War!
I am always interested in reading through the comments that accompany many articles published by newspapers online. It's always a good indicator of just how fucked up society in the US is. But, immune as I am to some of the crass points of view that get put forward, even I did a double take when I saw that someone was calling for a civil war in the US.
WTF? I thought to myself. He must be out of his tiny little less than average IQ mind. Apparently he wasn't alone. Many posters were agreeing with him. The mind (well, mine at least) boggles that anyone in this day and age thinks that a civil war is the answer to America's problems.… Read the rest

It may not be too relevant to this user forum but I have a general question. I am trying to analyze the dividend payments and using both probit (probability of paying the dividend) and tobit (size of dividend) models. however, I would like to justify the estimate results of the probit by the results of the tobit and it seems, it is not going to be easy. I can explain some of the variables becoming insignificant in tobit while significant in probit, do not know what might be the reason or where to look when a variable has negative significance in probit but a positive significance in tobit or the other way around. any help is appriciated, thanks

Jocelyn Our got her start in the food service industry in college. She became a hostess at the brand new Brickhouse Cafť nine years ago.
Since then, she has worked the bar, waited on tables, and she is now the manager.
Our recently sat in a high-top table, surrounded by photos of staff, customers and boxing icons, as she talked about the restaurantís clientele, its Sicilian menu, and the owner Vinny Marino, who started out as a boxer and traded the gloves for the frying pan in 1967.
Youíve been working here for nine years. What is it about this place that has made you stick around?
It became my family. I had never worked in a restaurant before, and I started when I was in college. I started as a hostess. Then, I became a waitress, and I became a bartender. Then, I became a manager. I donít think Iíll ever leave.
So, youíve worked as a server and at the bar. How is the clientele different at each place?
People that sit at the bar are more in it for a good time, where people in the dining room are here for the overall experience of a nice, relaxing sit down meal.
But, you interact more at the bar because youíre in each otherís face and youíre also stuck there, whereas when youíre a server, youíre floating around. You see everybody. But, on the bar, itís a very personal interaction.
Whatís the most unusual costumer youíve ever had?
The owner, Vinny, was a boxer, so we get a lot of his old time friends. They always have crazy stories from back in the day that they try to relate to current things.
Theyíre always a good time. Mickey Finn comes in all the time. (Marino) had George Foreman, Jr. in here last year. Itís fun.
As a server, what is your number one priority?
Customer satisfactoryóserve with a smile, efficiency, promptness.
Most of our clientele are regulars. We have a very big following of regulars. People that are here two, three times a week, and then we have familiar faces every night.
We look at the reservations and we know half a dozen of the names on there. Our staff for the most part has been here for years. We donít have much turnover in staff, so weíre like a family. Itís really nice.
Whatís your favorite dish?
I love the Eggplant Involtini. Itís wrapped around ricotta, and the ricotta is mixed with basil. So, it has a natural sweetness to it, which I really love.
The Chicken Verdicchio is awesome too with the artichoke hearts. Itís small chicken medallions sautťed in a white wine sauce with veggies over pasta. Itís really good.
Whatís your favorite drink to make when youíre working behind the bar?
I like a dirty Martini every now and then. I get pretty enthusiastic when people get those because I know that theyíre having a good time.
What makes this place unique?
Itís small. Itís a neighborhood place. Itís not a corporate entity, where there are so many regulations and rules. We have rules and everyone follows the rules, but itís more of a friendship. We just get along.

Cspan said it wasnt looking good for them and they are in no rush to legalize it.
i was listening to the radio on the way to work. and i know its just one judge's quote. but his main issue he was focused on = was the rights of children who have same sex parents being respected and recognised like everyone else. and if something were to happen to one of those same sex parents - that the child would benefit from the spousal benefits when a person dies. the lack of recognition effecting the quality of life for the child when the same sex partner cannot collect death benefits. it sounded like they were leaning toward legalizing it from that quote but again - thats only one guy.

RG3 Has Plenty Of Football Left In Him -- But What Kind?

Will he ever be truly dynamic again and will he able to improvise with the ease and precision like he used to? These are questions yet to be fully determined, but sadly, we may already know the answer.


text: Jones guiding ODU's revival By Doug Smock February 26, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- If Marshall's 2014-15 team can pull off what Old Dominion is doing this season, the atmosphere around the program will be a little brighter.Under first-year coach Jeff Jones, the Monarchs have improved from a dismal 5-25 to their current 13-15, a Division I-leading eight-win improvement with at least four games to go. That upgrade is tied with Missouri State (from 11-22 to 19-10).Perhaps more impressive is the Monarchs' record in their first year in Conference USA. The former Colonial Athletic Association program is 7-6 in the league, tied for sixth place out of 16 teams.Tonight, the Thundering Herd takes on the Monarchs at the 8,472-seat Constant Center in Norfolk, Va. Tipoff time is 7 p.m.Jones, the former Virginia point guard and head coach from 1990-98, came to ODU after winning a program-high 212 games at American from 2000-13. Now 366-302 in 22 seasons, he inherited a sudden mess at a proud program."I've known Jeff for a long time," said Marshall coach Tom Herrion. "We followed Jeff at UVA when I was with Coach [Pete] Gillen. He did a great job at American."Old Dominion has had as much success and tradition as anybody we've added. They made the change [in conferences] and Jeff will do a good job."Last season, Blaine Taylor was fired after a 2-20 start, with athletic director Wood Selig saying the decision was not about wins and losses but about "a number of factors by which a head coach is evaluated." ODU officials wouldn't elaborate, but widely circulated videos showed Taylor appearing to be inebriated at one of his shows. Taylor's downfall wasn't gradual — the Monarchs had won 22 or more games seven of the previous eight seasons.Even stranger, one of the Monarchs' wins came at Virginia. Then again, that shows the Monarchs did have some talent.That begins with 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Aaron Bacote, who is sixth in C-USA scoring at 16.2 points per game. The Monarchs often use a three-guard offense, but Herrion points to "freak athlete" Richard Ross, the 6-foot-6 junior who shoots 51.2 percent from the floor, scores 9.2 points per game and averages 7.3 rebounds.Herrion said Jones' teams play man-to-man defense 95 percent of the time, but the Herd (9-19, 3-10 Conference USA) may account for much of the remaining 5 percent. The league-games-only stats look no better for MU: 15th in C-USA at 27.2 percent on 3-point shots, 15th from any distance (40.6 percent). As a "bonus," the Herd is 13th in rebounding margin (minus-2.7).MU is playing some of its best defense in its last three games, as those opponents shot just 37.2 percent from the floor and 32.3 percent from 3-point range. Still, the Herd had just one win to show for it.The troubles are coming at the other end."Right now, we have a lot of wasted scoring opportunities," Herrion said. "We've got to finish, put the ball in the basket. Lately, it's really jumped up and bit us." BRIEFLY: ODU averages an announced 6,127 per home game, second in the league behind Texas-El Paso (8,036). Marshall's 4,727 ranks fourth, also behind Charlotte (5,130).Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Reeds, too. You over there in the striped shirt--Put down the clarinet and back away slowly.
I've just put My horn away for the third time today, having finished half an hour of practice after a 45-minute lesson and My Royal Conservatory Grade 6 exam.
To get to this point, I had to rehearse 2 pieces (Nocturne by Luigi Bassi and Divertimento #1 by Mozart), 6 studies (half Galper, half Nocenti), plus scales (chromatic plus 12 each major and minor harmonic, plus 12 minor melodic, just because) and arpeggios (12 major and 12 minor).
Let's just say that by the time we got to the sight-reading and the ear tests, My fingers were ready for a nice coffee break... Which Red and I had after I packed up the clarinet for the first time and went trundling out to the car with the certain knowledge that...
"It's over! The exam is over! Woot!"
I have no idea what My mark is going to be, but I do feel a nice calm inside. The pieces went well, and I and My accompanist played together very well. The studies were fine, and I actually was un-panicked enough to throw in some nice dynamic changes here and there.
The arpeggios were okay, too.
That chromatic scale, however... *shudder*
And in all My years of playing clarinet (about 5½ years of lessons so far), I have never experienced the phenomenon of the reed *and* My tongue drying out simultaneously.
(pauses to sip a glass of Pinot Grigio) Ah, that's better. Remind Me to schedule My next RCM exam for some season other than the dead of winter.

GCSEs will NOT be axed as Gove admits his radical exam reforms were 'a bridge too far'
- Education Secretary Michael Gove will outline radical overhaul of GCSEs
- Had planned to rename the exams and introduce single exam boards
- But Gove's plans were scuppered when Lib Dems expressed opposition
Overhaul: Education Secretary Michael Gove will outline a radical overhaul of GCSEs which will do away with low pass marks and force pupils to take extension papers to get the best grades
Education Secretary Michael Gove today abandoned his ambitious plans to scrap GCSEs, admitting his radical reforms were a 'bridge too far.
He instead unveiled an overhaul of the existing exam system, doing away with low pass marks and forcing pupils to take extension papers to get the best grades.
The tougher GCSEs will involve single, harder exams at the end of two years of studying, replacing modules at the end of almost every term.
But he said the idea of axing GCSEs in favour of new English Baccalaureate Certificates in core academic subjects was 'one reform too many at this time'.
And a plan to only allow a single exam board per subject has been dumped, despite previously arguing it was essential to prevent boards 'dumbing down' standards to get more business from schools.
Mr Gove told MPs in the Commons: 'I have decided not to make the best the enemy of the good.' He originally wanted to introduce EBCs in England in English, maths, science, foreign languages, history and geography.
But the Liberal Democrats opposed the idea of a 'two tier' exam system and imposing rules on exam boards risked falling foul of EU law.
Government lawyers advised that the plan would have been allowed in a few subjects – but setting up monopolies across the board would have led to exam boards suing the Government if they were put out of business.
Labour;s Stephen Twigg, the shadow education secretary, said: 'The words "GCSE" and "fiasco" seem to be indelibly linked under this Government. This is a humiliating climbdown.'
The Mail revealed last year that Mr Gove planned to abolish GCSES and bring back O-levels in core subjects along with a practical CSE-style exam.
But Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who had not been briefed on the plans, demanded that all pupils should sit the same exam.
He said he did not like the original plan, which he described as 'a two-tier system where you tell one set of kids you are not bright enough to proceed'.
And he praised Mr Gove for changing his plans after a consultation. 'He's quite rightly listened and he's going to make a statement today which I think will show parents and teachers that we are as ambitious as ever as a coalition Government for higher, better standards.
'But at the same time to make sure the approach is broad-based, not too narrow, so it encompasses lots of subjects and not just a narrow focus on some of them, and also doesn't already reinvent the wheel,' he said on his LBC radio phone-in.

Intervention: Mr Gove planned to abolish GCSES and bring back O-levels in core subjects along with a practical CSE-style exam but Lib Dem intervention scuppered the plans
A deal was thrashed out last autumn that would have seen new exams in English, maths and other core subjects.
But Mr Gove and his Lib Dem deputy David Laws abandoned the plans after deciding they were an unworkable compromise.
Instead, Mr Gove will today publish a national curriculum for pupils at 16 and use a statement to the Commons to outline plans to improve GCSEs.
Under his proposals, GCSE pass marks – which can be as low as 30 per cent in some subjects – will be raised so they are based on the level of knowledge pupils in other countries are expected to achieve.
GCSEs will also have fewer 'bite-sized' questions – blamed for grade inflation – proper essays in English and history, fewer resits and more restrictions on texts in exams.
Nick Clegg said he had blocked a 'two tier' exam system
Extension papers will also be introduced for pupils expected to achieve top grades, particularly in maths and the sciences.
Mr Gove will issue instructions to exam watchdog Ofqual today and they will draw up the tougher GCSEs, which will begin for pupils starting their studies in September 2015.
They will sit the exams in 2017 – one year earlier than planned. Mr Gove is also tearing up rules for judging success in schools to ensure that teachers are forced to help pupils of all abilities.
Insiders say the current system of judging how many pupils get five GCSEs graded A* to C, including English and maths, encourages schools to make students sit 'junk' exams in easy subjects to boost grades.
In future, schools will be judged on the percentage of pupils passing English and maths and a points system for a pupil's best eight results – which must include at least three core subjects such as science, history, geography and languages.
The rethink came after the Commons Education Committee said standards could be raised by improving GCSEs rather than scrapping them.
A source close to the committee said: 'We said that we weren't convinced that the GCSE brand was broken.
'It was right to say that exams at 16 needed reform, with a crackdown on resits but you can send a message about grade inflation without coupling exam reform with market reform. I'm glad it seems they have listened.'
Former schools minister Nick Gibb insisted Mr Gove had 'taken the right decision'.
'There is a determination for an aged-16 qualification, the GCSE will be rigorous, it will be on a par with the best in the world,' he told BBC Radio 4.
'There's agreement right across the political spectrum - Labour, Liberal, Conservatives - that there has been grade inflation over the years in the GCSEs and one of the reasons for that has been the competition between exam boards for a market share of scores.
'The plan now is for Ofqual to be rigorous in ensuring we don't have that grade inflation and of course this thing will be kept under review.
'And if the exams board don't reform the way they conduct themselves and start to maintain standards from year-to-year and against the international competition - that's the new objective that Ofqual has, they will now be looking around the world at the best exams and comparing those with the qualifications we have in this country.'

Occupational therapists can perform occupational therapy evaluations without a referral or prescription. However, to implement an OT treatment plan, under certain circumstances described below, you must have a referral or prescription from a licensed health care provider.
Effective February 3, 2012, Education Law 7901 was amended to provide that an occupational therapy treatment program "designed to restore function" shall be rendered on the prescription or referral of a physician, nurse practitioner or other health care provider acting within his or her scope.
Prior to this amendment, an occupational therapy treatment program could only be provided following receipt of a prescription or referral, and that prescription or referral could only be provided by a physician or nurse practitioner.
The board has interpreted this change to mean that an OT treatment program that is not restoring a function can be provided without a script, and believes that this would apply typically to school age children receiving therapy to develop functions they never had (e.g. handwriting).
Medicaid, an insurance program, or school district may still have a policy that would require a prescription or referral in all instances.
When required, prescriptions and referrals establish an important link between the patient's/client's occupational therapist and his/her primary healthcare provider.
The referral/prescription becomes part of the record which the occupational therapist must maintain for each patient/client you serve.

Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
Nothing to see here...I am guessing you don't watch ESPN much? Because yes, they do these "What if" things all the time, it has nothing to do with any anti-Ravens bias. I didn't know we were still doing the whole "Everyone in the media and NFL hates us" thing. It's kind of old, to be honest.
Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
I think the fairer question would be; "What if the Ravens didn't have Flacco last year?.
Now that would be a legit question.Self appointed Ravens SuperFan in the southern hemisphere/New Zealand.

Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
The N if L segment was funny. He didn't call the F Bomb a fluke, he just tried to imagine how things would have gone had it not been completed.
He then spent the rest of the segment bashing Manning and Brady's recent playoff suckitude before declaring that neither could have beat San Fran.
The only gripe I have is that he went deep into trying too hard when he claimed that Flacco would have been signed by the Cardinals afterward. Sorry man, Ozzie didn't write that contract because Flacco had a great playoff run, he wrote it because Flacco is entering his 6th season and has never not had a playoff season.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
What are the Ravens odds this year? 30-1? Really?
The Ravens are 9 point underdogs to Denver, really? Even after being double digit dogs to the broncos, patriots, AND 49ers last year?
How many people call the Ravens a team of thugs despite them being at the very, very bottom of the league in arrests in the past decade.
By the way, anyone who responds to "Joe Flacco Super Bowl MVP" with "Dilfer has a Super Bowl too. Does that mean he's better than Marino?" needs to have chunks of their brains scooped out and made into a modern art display. THAT would be a more meaningful usage of their brain matter. It is suck a grotesque attempt at logic that it makes me want to vomit on them.
Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
Lets talk about the throw itself:
-Avoided the heavy rush coming from two seperate directions
- Threw the ball without being able to step into it
-Had to change the projectile of the pass at the very last split-second because of an approaching rusher with his hands in the air
- ball traveled 59 yards through the -10 degree air
- had a PREPOSTEROUS arc length. The average 59 yard throw will have an arc length of 70 yards. Flacco's pass had an arc length of 85 yards. Because Joe Flacco is a psychopath.
If you watch the behind the bench segment of that game, you'll see three seperate position coaches ALL saying how they thought for sure the ball was going to be short because of how ridiculously high in the air it was. Raheem Moore isn't worthless. He just isn't used to a throw like that, as that's the only throw like that he's ever seen in his life.
Re: "They Hate us!" mode in full swing.
But if it makes people feel better, consider this. 20 years from now when they do a program about great playoff games of the 21st century, Joe Flacco's name will be prominently mentioned. But no one will remember the names of the pundits and talking heads.

So today I have finally gone Stage 2. I have a 2004 WRX with a Cobb Short air intake, catless up pipe, catless 3" turbo back and tuned with the Cobb AP v3. Now note, I have no catalytic converters in my car. Also, I didn't reconnect the o2 sensors in the up pipe or down pipe. After turning on my vehicle for the first time after the stage 2 upgrade, I got the P0037 CEL about 2 minutes into warm up idle. Now I'd like to assume this is due to the fact that I didn't reconnect the up pipe and down pipe o2 sensors, but I just wanted to make sure.
BTW for those who don't know, P0037 CEL = HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
Thanks for the help in advanced!

Funeral Conducted For Former Lawmaker, Teacher
By Associated Press • Jul 16, 2012
WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. - Former Kentucky state Rep. DeWayne Bunch has been eulogized in Williamsburg.
Bunch died Wednesday, more than a year after he was hit by a stray punch while breaking up a fight at Whitley County High School where he was a math teacher. Bunch struck his head on the cafeteria floor in April 2011.
WYMT-TV in Hazard reported hundreds gathered Sunday afternoon for the funeral. Gov. Steve Beshear had ordered flags across Kentucky lowered to half-staff for the day. The Patriot Riders brought nearly 100 motorcycles in honoring Bunch's service in the Kentucky National Guard.
Bunch was 50 years old. His wife Regina is now serving as state representative from the 82nd District.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A New Orleans police officer has been arrested for allegedly stealing a gift card from an armed robbery victim's purse.
A news release from the city says 31-year-old April Moses was booked into Orleans Parish Prison at 8:12 p.m. Thursday on charges of theft and malfeasance.
A Public Integrity Bureau investigation revealed that Moses left her assignment on Sunday and bought $85 worth of goods at a Target store in Metairie. Police say the purse was turned into 8th District front desk while Moses was working.
The victim called the district station to report that the stolen gift card had been used.
Police say an FBI agent assisted in the investigation.

5.7L V8 Auto 4wd trans (4L60E)Changed trans fluid/filter/seal/gasket. All good. Noticed rear TRANSFER case "dripping" fluid. Removed plug and "milky/red/white" fluid drains...only about 1/2 quart. I replaced w/ Dex6 Trans fluid. I put back in 2 qts. Tiny leak, ok a year ago, now the thing is "dripping". I get up in there and with a white cloth and cleaner, and clean the whole thing to find a hairline crack, and I mean a hairline on the back side above but not in one of the bottom bolt housings. I put EPOXY on it for now. Other than replacement, any ideas on sealing? Can I spot weld or solder it? Any ideas appreciated.

7 Money-Saving Tips to Cut Your Grocery Food Bill By $30 a Week (Page 7)
6. Swap Organic Produce for Conventional
Buying organic produce is great when you can afford it, but if you're on a budget you'll do better to stick with conventional. If you are concerned about pesticides, be strategic and choose the fruits and vegetables that have been shown to have very little pesticide residues according to the Environmental Working Group's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. You can save anywhere from 30 cents to $1 (or more) by buying conventional over organic, depending on what you're buying.

After waiting for shipment on this item for over a week, I call to check on the status and was told the item was out of stock. When were they going to inform me of this?Read More
ive had the couch for a month and there are already dead spots where the cushion is sinking.Read More
Good things, and not so good. The price is Good. The fabric is good, mine was not blue, but true grey. Bad, the cushions are not fully covered to flip. only one side is fabric covered. instructions say to flip the cushions, but you can't. It's study, but not for monkeys.. This is DEEP seating. if you are expecting to sit on it, you can not. your knees will not meet the edge. This a good curl up with a book or blanket couch. If you do find a lessor price, O.co will credit the difference. -good pointRead More
The big lessons here is: Don't buy furniture sight unseen from an internet retailer. We ordered this couch because it looked exactly like what we wanted. First problem was that one day later, I noticed it at Amazon for about $$$ less. For this, Overstock gave me a $$$ store credit. The first one got lost in the shipping process, and so it was more than a month before this arrived in three big boxes. When unpacking it, it was obvious that the quality was low: the wood frame is soft pine, stapled together and split at almost every junction. The fabric is very thin and flimsy. The cushions are very stiff foam and a bit lumpy. The base under the cushions is supported by nylon straps stapled to the base -- these will clearly start sagging almost immediately The arms and backs attach with two small bolts each -- not very sturdy. The faces of the base are backed by very very thin plywood -- it'd probably be pretty easy to put your foot through it. Despite all of these red flags on quality, I went ahead and assembled it because I was so excited to get a couch. It was extremely uncomfortable -- stiff and lumpy, no connection between the chaise and the couch part which opened a major chasm any time you sit near the crack. Not to mention that the whole thing seems like it would be a wreck after two or three months of even gentle daily use. Then it dawned on me that I had a large heavy piece that was shipped to me via special courier, is unpacked and assembled, and I don't want it. I felt a little stuck, but once I calmed down, I spent nearly four hours disassembling it and meticulously repacking it with the original packing materials. II'm now waiting for them to come pick it up, but I expect Overstock will give me back the full value (minus shipping). I do not recommend this couch because of the quality, but I especially don't like the process of buying something large like this without seeing it first. I've wasted a lot of time and effort to find out that I don't like the quality.Read More
I bought this coach because it was time for me to graduate from IKEA and move onto "big-boy" furniture. I also bought it because I liked the style as displayed in the pictures. Like IKEA, I knew that I needed to assemble it. I found the assembly to be quite easy, though it was in seeing the couch pieces that I realized how cheap the materials are that make up this couch. I hope it lasts... The couch looks great in my living room, and lives up to the pictures. Measure carefully though, because it surprised me how big it is. The fabric is ok, again not the highest of qualities, but it seems easy to clean and durable. It's not the most comfortable couch. The back cushions are evidently supported by wires, and the seat cushions are VERY firm. Though I am not sure if I graduated from IKEA with this purchase, overall it is a good couch with a great look, and an OK couch experience.Read More
uncomfortable. the sectional didnt clip together and kept on sliding open when anyone sat on it. besides the color was darker than the pic shown. the fabric also looked different. just all around very poor quality. i returned mine!Read More
Good sturdy piece and easy to clean, which is good because my dog sheds a lot. Two minuses, one being the chaise and loveseat cannot be connected, so without slip pads or putting it on carpet, they will separate as they shift especially since my dog runs and leaps onto the couch. Two - I have wood laminate floors and the feet have these hard white plastic nubs which dug marks into the wood. I had to use padded, nonstick pads on the bottom to combat both the slipping and the marks on the floor... assesmbly was not terrible, but the wrenches they provide are quite laughable.Read More
This sectional fits nicely iin our traditional style condo. It is a more modern piece, but seems flexible in style. I am sitting on it now and it is comfortable to relax on. For the price - you get what you pay for. I'm not sure that this will last, but I am hopeful! My toddler appreciates the soft edges and that she can cruise along with ease. Clean-up has also been easy so far - fingers crossed!Read More

Did you miss this concert? Were you there and would like to hear it again—because once is not enough? You're in luck—NEC has made it available at InstantEncore. To play or download the performances, click here—there are no fees involved. You will need to have or create an account to complete the process. Your account will also allow you to receive notifications of future concerts.
This season at New England Conservatory, 30+ concerts demonstrate just how vital music is to human struggle, and what revolution in artistic expression sounds like. Programs range from roots music to Beethoven, fight songs to anti-war anthems. Join our year-long exploration of how music speaks truth to power!
John Harbison says that his Abu Ghraib, written after the exposure of prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers in Iraq, "is not a protest or moral lesson," but specifies that its opening "scene" for cello and piano "investigates infection and wrongness." The music alternates between "scenes" and "prayers" that draw on similarities between a traditional Iraqi song and well-known American hymns. NEC alumnus David Deveau '71 Prep, '75 premiered the work in 2006 at the Rockport Music Festival, and it has since been performed at Tanglewood.
After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, composer Luciano Berio used the sounds that make up King's name to create the chorus for eight voices that makes up the second movement of his Sinfonia, subtitled "O King."
Berio is heard in a lighter vein in Opus Number Zoo, a musical menagerie intended for an audience of young people, based on poems by Rhoda Levine. Other works on this program represent a spectrum of 20th-century music.
Read John Heiss's notes on this program.
Since 1967, John Heiss has taught NEC students the roots of 20th-century modernism both in the classroom and as a conductor and coach. His courses on Ives, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky have shaped generations of musicians. Each year Heiss recruits students interested in performing 20th- and 21st-century music to join the NEC Contemporary Ensemble. Tonight's performers include the Philharmonic Five, selected as an NEC Honors Ensemble for the second year in a row. Earl Lee, conductor of the Britten Serenade, is a student in NEC's graduate orchestral conducting program.

Fulham 1-3 Sunderland
- From the section Football
Sunderland produced a rousing second-half display to record only their second Premier League victory of the season at the expense of 10-man Fulham.
The dismissal of Brede Hangeland after 30 minutes proved the turning point.
Steven Fletcher poked in to put Sunderland ahead just after half-time, only for Fulham to level as substitute Mladen Petric netted from close range.
But Sunderland hit back through Carlos Cuellar and a spectacular strike from Stephane Sessegnon to seal victory.
This was a vital win for Martin O'Neill's side. The pressure had begun to grow after a run of just one victory in 18 Premier League matches.
But if the supporters had been restless before kick-off, all that was forgotten at the final whistle as Sunderland's travelling support celebrated their first away win in the league since February.
The opening 45 minutes had been a demonstration of why the Black Cats have struggled so badly in recent times.
O'Neill's side lacked cohesion, confidence and sustained threat; they were insipid not inventive. While they desperately needed tempo, they produced only tedium.
For the opening half-hour, Fulham dictated play with Dimitar Berbatov in the thick of the action, heading one chance over after four minutes and conjuring up another for Steve Sidwell, only for the midfielder to shoot tamely at Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
But then came the afternoon's defining moment as Hangeland was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Lee Cattermole. Referee Lee Probert produced a red card almost immediately - although the actual contact with the Sunderland man was minimal, the challenge was reckless at best.
It was an opportunity for Sunderland, but for the remainder of the half they played like a side burdened by a new sense of expectation. This was a chance they simply could not afford to pass up.
To their credit, O'Neill's side emerged from the interval with more intent and a move more incisive than anything they had managed before the break produced the opening goal.
The visitors' breakthrough actually came from Fulham's best chance of the match, as John Arne Riise's deflected shot rebounded from the underside of the crossbar and set Sunderland in motion.
Adam Johnson raced away down the left, before curling a delightful pass into the path of Fletcher at the edge of the box. His first touch controlled the ball, his second nudged it beyond Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer and into the net.
Fulham's troubles increased moments later when Bryan Ruiz, having tweaked his hamstring, limped off to be replaced by Petric.
Sunderland immediately sought to press home their advantage and were only denied by Schwarzer, who threw himself low to his right to tip Johnson's curling shot to safety.
And yet the home support roused their side, as Damien Duff surged forward, took advantage of a fortunate deflection off Hugo Rodallega, and squared the ball for Petric to fire in from six yards. But crucially the Croatian striker injured himself in the act of scoring and, with Fulham briefly reduced to nine men, Sunderland struck again.
Johnson's left-wing corner was met by Cuellar, who rose above Sidwell to head firmly beyond Schwarzer.
Five minutes later, Sunderland added a third following another swift counter-attack. This time Johnson fed Sessegnon whose fierce curling shot found the corner of the net from 25 yards.
The final whistle was greeted with a pump of the fist by O'Neill. The Sunderland manager's relief was palpable.

Changing Roof Type
Just curious if anyone has advice on changing a roof type.
I have a regular hip-gable roof on a traditional house. I'm changing my mid-century traditional house to a mid-century modern home. As part of the remodel, I'm changing this typical hip-gabled roof to a butterfly roof.
in doing this, anything I should look out for? I know what is involved but just curious if I've forgotten anything to anticipate before we get to that phase of our project.
Watch the weather closely
Have plenty of tarps
Prebuild as much as you can before you tear out the existing.
Good luck.

That's a pretty radical change. I hope you live in a dry climate.
There is probably no other roof style that's more prone to leaks.
The roofing will be the most critical detail of you project.
Why do you consider it to be so prone to leaks? Because of the valley in the center where the water collects? There will be a rain catchment system that that water will funnel into. Other than that i am not sure why it is more prone to leaks anymore than a typical roof.
199 Attachment(s)
With a typical roof system the idea is to shed the roof water away from the house. A butterfly roof sheds the water to the middle of the house.
Im not saying this will be a problem for you but extra attention needs to be paid to the roofing details. A mistake there could cause you some real problems.
You asked what you should look out for and Id put that up high on the list.
Butterfly roofs were popular here in Victorian times, but are quite rare now. My daughter has one on her row house, and although it's OK now you can see where it has leaked badly in the past by the staining on the brick party walls in the loft.
A common problem was slight leaks developing in the lead gutters and causing rot in the beams below, which in turn caused the gutter to drop and leak more.
As kwikfishron said the design is taking water to the centre of the building and any slight leak in the gutter will send down a lot of water.
Thanks for the feedback.
I dont think it will be an issue as long as i use a knowledgable contractor who knows how to seal it properly and drain it adequately. Its perfectly possible to have a butterfly roof without it leaking i am sure it just requires a good design.
I have never seen a Victorian with a butterfly roof. What part of the country are you in? The werent invented until 1933 and are traditionally on mid century or contemporary homes.
I guess you could say some of the older buildings around here have a 'butterfly roof', although the pitch is much lower and certainly not used as a design element.
I agree with others, you're creating a maintenance item with this kind of roof. Still, I'd be interested in seeing the transition, please keep us updated!
Ah, you're in England. They weren't here in the US until 1933.
And I am aware that it would be a few years before it would leak, but my point is that if it is designed correctly there there shouldn't be an issue. Also, the valley is above a part of the house that isn't exposed to furnishings or anything so if it does leak it wouldn't be a huge disaster.
199 Attachment(s)
Rotting structural members and mold are just two issues that can be going on even before you notice the leak.
But at least the furniture isnt getting wet.:thumbsup:
Thanks for your input.
199 Attachment(s)
Beam me up Scottie. :sailor:
Do you have a plan for how this area of the roof will be ventilated?

Sebago Kayakers Frolic at Frostbite Regatta
One of the favorite rituals of Sebago Canoe Club members is the annual Frostbite Regatta. Usually held on New Year's Day, the event was snowdelayed for a week this year.
When the paddlers returned to the group's Canarsie clubhouse, more than 20 additional members had gathered. The stove had been cranked up with a load of red hot firewood, a pot of fragrant mulled cider was simmering, Chef Steve Heinzerling's marinated pork shoulder was warming over a sterno, and various pies, cookies, and the club favorite, chocolate and mocha coated almonds, awaited them. A short business meeting was held to discuss grant applications and vote in new senior members. Next weekend the winter revelers of Sebago head to Jones Beach, where the best local seal watching can be enjoyed. Dry suits are required.
For information on membership in Sebago, visit the club's website at www.sebagocanoeclub.org.

Carmilla HTML version
certainty that the most natural explanation of the occurrence is one that involves
no drugging, no tampering with locks, no burglars, or poisoners, or witches—
nothing that need alarm Carmilla, or anyone else, for our safety."
Carmilla was looking charmingly. Nothing could be more beautiful than her tints.
Her beauty was, I think, enhanced by that graceful languor that was peculiar to
her. I think my father was silently contrasting her looks with mine, for he said:
"I wish my poor Laura was looking more like herself"; and he sighed.
So our alarms were happily ended, and Carmilla restored to her friends.

By Ken Croswell, ScienceNOW
Some 460 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus, a thick disk of dust swirled around a young star named TYC 8241 2652 1, where rocky planets like our own were arising. Then, in less than 2 years, the disk just vanished. That's the unprecedented observation astronomers report in a new study, out today. Even more intriguing: The same thing may have happened in our own solar system.
Born about 10 million years ago, the TYC 8241 2652 1 system was chugging along just fine before 2009. Its so-called circumstellar disk glowed at the infrared wavelength of 10 microns, indicating it was warm and lay close to a star — in the same sort of region that, in our own sun's neighborhood, gave rise to the terrestrial planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The infrared data reveal that the dust was about 180°C and located as close to its star as Mercury is to the sun.
By January 2010, however, nearly all infrared light from the dusty disk had vanished. "We had never seen anything like this before," says astronomer Carl Melis of the University of California, San Diego. "We were all scratching our heads and wondering what the hell did we do wrong?" But subsequent observations with both infrared satellites and ground-based telescopes confirmed the surprising discovery, he says: "The disk was gone."
Melis and his colleagues report the mystery online today in Nature — but they don't know what caused it. "It's very bizarre," he says. "Nothing like this was ever predicted." He says there's no way something could eclipse the infrared-emitting disk for more than 2 years, because such an object would be immense. Furthermore, the star itself didn't fade.
Melis speculates that an earlier collision between two objects — perhaps two boulders, two asteroids, or even two planets — orbiting the star produced the dust grains that emitted the infrared light. Then either the star's light blew the dust out of the planetary system or the dust plunged into the star.
"It's a really interesting mystery," says astronomer Scott Kenyon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who was not affiliated with the discovery team. "The observations certainly seem correct. It's sort of amazing to have the dust in one of these disks go away so quickly. It's hard to know exactly what happened."
"This is a whole new insight into the violent processes like the ones that formed the moon and that must be going on where terrestrial planets are forming and first evolving in other planetary systems," adds astronomer George Rieke of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Rieke says the discovery shows what happens after members of a nascent planetary system collide. His team has recently found milder infrared dimming in two somewhat older stars, indicating that similar events may be occurring there.
The discovery may offer clues to the violence that surrounded the formation of Earth. In particular, Earth is the only known terrestrial planet with a large moon, whose tides may have helped life advance by pushing it from sea to land; but no one knows how many Earthlike planets sport large satellites. The moon arose when a Mars-sized object hit our planet, a collision that presumably spewed lots of dust into space. The new observations suggest this dust could have disappeared fast.
However, with only one dust-vanishing event ever seen, Melis doesn't know how common the phenomenon is. So his team plans to monitor not only this star but also others like it. "We have to wait and see if we ever catch another one," he says.

[Happy Photo Day] Top Selca Poses from the Stars
The peace sign? Hearts? Winks? Leave those tired poses to the selca amateurs because celebrities are ushering in a whole new wave of camera-ready poses.
In honor of Photo Day, we've selected some of the hottest trends in the celebrity selca world to give you some inspiration on what pose to strike next (In the privacy of your own room, of course, because we wouldn't recommend you do this in public).
Bbuing bbuing
Wide-eyed stares into the camera and peace signs are child's play, as the bbuing bbuing pose is all the rage in the selca world.
These days, cute is all about putting those fists to face and squealing "bbuing bbuing." You know it's hot if Jessica Alba and Daniel Radcliffe are doing it too.
Blooming flower
If you're not quite ready to bbuing bbuing, we recommend the blooming flower pose to ease you into the selca scene.
Simply create a "V" with your hands and place it neatly under your chin, and wa-la, a flower has bloomed. Infinite′s Woo Hyun, f(x) members Krystal and Sulli as well as JYJ′s Kim Junsu show you how above.
Be the flower.
Babies, puppies and other such props
If you don't have cute in you or are running low on poses, have no fear because there's no rule saying you can't get some outside help.
Call in the babies and puppies and cue the "awwwww."
We're being serious - all the top stars, like Jung Woo Sung, Lee Hyori and Kim Jae Joong, are doing it.
Meanwhile, Jang Keun Suk shows us that inanimate objects, like oversized stuffed animals and kiddie clothes, do the trick as well.
Play with food
We all do it. We love to take pictures of food. And it seems celebrities can't help themselves either.
Although the food 2NE1's Park Bom and actress Eugene are displaying don't look all that appetizing, their expressions are too cute to overlook.
And just because you're the Prince of Asia doesn't mean you eat like royalty every day. Even Jang Keun Suk has to make do with instant rice and Spam sometimes.
Look pissed
We knew taking selcas was no joke, but these celebs really mean business. Forget saying cheese, celebs are all about striking the stink face these days.
Taeyang and Park Jin Young get cranky for the camera, while the ladies, 4minute's Nam Ji Hyun and miss A's Suzy, flash ice-cold stares.
Get the group involved
If idol stars know how to do anything, it's look good in pictures. But taking a group photo or, more specifically, squeezing everyone in selca style, is often easier said than done.
That's why it was all the more impressive when idol groups B2ST and Kara came up with creative ways to squeeze its members into selca photos like the ones above.
MBLAQ, however, trumped all (and put our pyramids during summer camp to shame) with its imaginative group photo.
All we have left to do now is to wait for Super Junior to come up with something better.
In the meantime, Jung Joon Ha shows us how NOT to take group photos—although we do have to give the funnyman credit for taking one for the team.
Which poses will you be trying? Let us know in the comments section below!

Big Pine Lake public access closed
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office reports the public access on Pine Lake, commonly referred to as Big Pine Lake, in Crosslake has been closed.
A portion of the rock dam on the outlet side of the lake has washed out, affecting the water level of the lake.
Ice conditions on Big Pine are considered unsafe and no one should venture out on the ice. The closure will remain in effect until the lake is clear of ice.
The county highway department is working with the Minnesota DNR to repair the damage.

Re: Kerberos DES encryption
- From: Nick Domukhovsky <ndomukhovsky@xxxxx>
- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 11:26:49 +0600
According to my understanding the DES cipher strength for DES-CBC-MD5
is 56 bits. There is a distinct 3DES-CBC-MD5 but I'm not sure
Microsoft ever implemented it and I don't think it was ever widely
available for UNIX either.
Hmm... Really so... But as I can see newer versions of MIT Kerberos
supports RC4-HMAC, so one can configure Kerberos interoperability
without DES encryption...
With best regards
