Beer Here: Brewing New York's History
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.21-06-2012 12:00:00 02-09-2012 12:00:00 America/New_York Beer Here: Brewing New York's History To consider the fascinating yet largely anonymous legacy of beer brewing in New York City, the New-York Historical Society presents Beer Here: Brewing New York's History. This exhibit surveys the social, economic, political, and technological history of the production and consumption of beer, ale, and porter in the city from the seventeenth century to the present. In the past three decades, New York City has become an important center of craft and home beer brewing. While this phenomenon began only after President Jimmy Carter signed into law an act that legalized home-brewing, the growth of New York's present beer industry also marks the resurgence of a long-standing tradition known to few outside the world of beer aficionados. Beer has been brewed in New York City and State since the days of its earliest European settlement, when it was a vital source of nourishment and tax revenues. Brewing continued locally and statewide throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and for much of the nineteenth century New York State was home to one of the country's largest brewing industries. Early nineteenth-century development of New York State's hop farming industry was vital to this growth, and from the 1840s through the 1880s the state was the largest producer of hops in the United States. Exhibit sections explore such topics as: the nutritional properties of colonial beer and early New York brewers in the age of revolution; infrastructure innovations and the importance of access to clean water; large-scale brewing in nineteenth-century New York and the influence of immigration; the influence of temperance and impact of prohibition; bottling, canning, refrigeration and other technological advances; and the state of the city's breweries in the age of mass production. Featured artifacts and documents include: a 1779 account book from a New York City brewer who sold beer and ale to both the British and patriot sides; sections of early nineteenth-century wooden pipes from one of the city's first water systems; a bronze medal that commemorates an 1855 New York State temperance law; beer trays from a variety of late nineteenth-century brewers; sign from the campaign to repeal prohibition; and a selection of advertisements from Piels, Rheingold and Schaefer, beloved hometown brewers. The exhibit concludes with a beer hall that features a selection of favorite New York City and State artisanal beers. The beer hall hours are: Tuesday-Thursday and Saturdays: 2pm-6pm Fridays: 2pm-8pm Sundays: 2pm-5pm http://www.nymetroparents.com/2015neweventinfo.cfm?id=113157 New-York Historical Society New-York Historical Society

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is causing unprecedented declines in several species of North American bats. The characteristic lesions of WNS are caused by the fungus Geomyces destructans, which erodes and replaces the living skin of bats while they hibernate. It is unknown how this infection kills the bats. We review here the unique physiological importance of wings to hibernating bats in relation to the damage caused by G. destructans and propose that mortality is caused by catastrophic disruption of wing-dependent physiological functions. Mechanisms of disease associated with G. destructans seem specific to hibernating bats and are most analogous to disease caused by chytrid fungus in amphibians.

'The View' Ladies Shockingly Diss Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress: 'Very Mother Teresa!'
The Royal Wedding fashion insults were flying on 'The View' this a.m., April 29: the Queen looked like a 'bumble bee with a drinking problem.' Princess Beatrice is 'Lady Gaga' — and Princess Eugenie trying out for 'Let's Make A Deal!' Were they disrespectful or hilarious?
To say that the Ladies of The View — Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Goldie Hawn — did not like Princess Kate Middleton's wedding attire and Queen Elizabeth's hat was an understatement. Joy compared Kate to Mother Teresa and the Queen to an alcoholic bumble bee!
"What about the schmatte on her head, it was very nun like — very Mother Teresa I thought," Joy announced.
"It didn't have any poof to it, it clung to her head," added Goldie. "She has a gorgeous shaped head, she looked angelic."
Sherri thought the dress made Kate look old. "I liked it, [but] I thought she was too young to be in the dress," she said. "She looked old."
Elisabeth completely disagreed with Sherri: "I thought it was so perfect for her."
Next, the women attacked the Queen's hat. She looked like "a bumble bee with a drinking problem," Joy bashed. "When do you see a queen wearing yellow?"
"There are a few things I couldn't take my eyes off — [Princesses] Beatrice & Eugenie," Joy continued. "They were looking like they were auditioning for Let's Make A Deal."
"This is Lady Gaga," Sherri added on Beatrice's hat.
Now just to put this all in perspective, The View ladies did all of this dissing while wearing very questionable fascinators and formal wear themselves. Feathers, Joy — puhleeze!
BFFs — take a look at all these pics and read!

text: Kimberley Buckheit's career in education started with an interesting foundation."My early career, the first ten years, was really as a behavioral specialist. So, I worked with families who had children with developmental delays in Maryland. Kind of my pathway came more in terms of helping people solve problems and finding solutions," said Buckheit.This is her 14th year in the RSU 20 school district. She's spent the past nine as principal at Troy Howard Middle School in Belfast."We were on the failing schools list at that time, and it was in a bit if disarray, and it really felt like it was going to be a challenge that I felt up to," said Buckheit.The school, as well as the entire state, found out Tuesday that taking challenge had paid off. Buckheit was named Middle Level Principal of the Year."She's challenged us to do new things, to learn new things. That good wasn't good enough. That we couldn't, kind of just be good teachers, we needed to be great teachers, and there was always room for improvement. She's never stopped being our teacher and never allowed us to stop learning," said Troy Howard Middle School Assistant Principal, Bruce Bailey."She's always there for us if we ever need to talk to her and she always tries to help us with our problems and her door's always open and she's so easy to talk to. We're able to have a good laugh with her because she's always laughing at something," said Emily Harrison, an eighth grader at the school.For Buckheit, everyday is about one thing."It's about people. It's all about the people, so my approach is each and every day, each and every minute, each and every kid, that we've got to do the best we can, minute by minute, kid by kid," said Buckheit.

This is a contortion of facts used to support your point of claiming OC'ers will always be targeted.
If we can get past this one distorted point we can do so much better.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, what's it all about?
...Take me to that wonderful world,
Give a passport to this girl...
Come on 1997! So I can make it to Hong Kong.
So go the lyrics from the popular song on the mainland, My 1997, by pop star Ai Jing. The sentiment is part of the Hong Kong mania gripping the mother country as millions of Chinese wonder what Hong Kong will offer them. In Beijing's power corridors, meanwhile, officialdom is wrestling with the problem of how to manage Hong Kong and the many expectations raised by the British colony's imminent return.
It's a real quandary. Beijing is eager to seize on the return of Hong Kong, lost 155 humiliating years ago, and to stoke a growing nationalism useful in uniting this fast-changing and fractured country. But the leadership is also keenly aware that Hong Kong's strong influence has great potential to transform or even destabilize China.
Indeed, much of China sees Hong Kong as a beacon to a better future. Millions of migrant workers are hoping to slip across the border to make a Hong Kong buck. Provincial and municipal governments are rushing to set up Hong Kong offices for international businesses, and get rich. Meanwhile, Hong Kong money is starting to flow to new destinations, cementing the fortunes of China's hinterlands. Mainland Big Business, lodged in Hong Kong's unforgiving markets, is learning to shed its socialist ways. And the growing popularity of Hong Kong's movies, television, and music will challenge Beijing's desire to control and mold its citizens.
China's rulers know that Hong Kong could be a political time bomb. As China prepares for the crucial 15th Party Congress in October, top politicians are jockeying to ensure that their factions come out on top. Any missteps in Hong Kong--such as a heavy-handed crackdown on those commemorating the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre--would be disastrous for China's leadership. President Jiang Zemin, eager to prove he can step into Deng Xiaoping's shoes, and Foreign Minister Qian Qichen, hoping to improve China's image, have staked their fortunes on a successful Hong Kong.
To that end, China's leaders are using Hong Kong's return to whip up nationalist fervor. Primary schools in Beijing are organizing "love the motherland" activities. The state has sponsored the historical epic movie The Opium Wars, slated for June release, while star-studded TV variety shows celebrate the handover.
WILY PROVINCIALS. The dilemma for Chinese rulers is how to tap that nationalism without raising undue expectations. Many Chinese mistakenly assume that the return means an end to restrictions on travel to Hong Kong. But as it becomes clear that most Chinese will never even see Hong Kong's greener pastures, a backlash of resentment could develop against Hong Kong's special, "one country, two systems" rights. Anger will mount if those allowed to settle in Hong Kong turn out to be the well-connected.
Another ticklish problem is Chinese provincial leaders who would like to run their fiefdoms along Hong Kong lines. High on their wish list will be more freedom to make money: lower taxes, less bureaucratic interference, and easier access to global investors. But eventually, these economic demands may lead to calls for greater freedom of expression and religion, and improved rights for workers. "Beijing has to worry about a lot of unruly provincial and local governments...[that] will want to know why we continue to get such special treatment," warns a high-ranking civil servant in Hong Kong.
What about the hard-charging provincial business people who want to move their operations southward? Provincial, county, and city governments run companies that form the backbone of China's regional economies. These entrepreneurial officials expect an open ticket to set up shop in Hong Kong. Following the model of China's "red chips," these officials would like to transfer assets to Hong Kong shell or holding companies and make a killing on the stock market. Planners in Beijing are concerned that billions of dollars in state assets will be stripped away by wily provincials. A major question plaguing Beijing, says University of Michigan professor Kenneth Lieberthal, is "How do you prevent the provinces from feeding at the trough" of Hong Kong?
Hong Kong already is tilting China's regional balance of power. Until now, most of the billions in Hong Kong investment has gone to Cantonese-speaking Guangdong and its thousands of clothing and light-manufacturing plants. But the new money is pouring into Shanghai, Jiangsu province, and hinterlands up the Yangtze River. Hong Kong property giant, New World, is spending $485 million on building stores, hotels, and highways in far-off Wuhan. Even Hong Kong's archrival, Shanghai, is benefiting from Hong Kong's largesse, as the Shanghainese elite plow billions into shipping, housing projects, and shopping malls.
At the same time, thousands of Chinese managers are getting a crash global-capitalism course in Hong Kong. More than 1,700 mainland enterprises already have set up shop. They are learning Hong Kong's rules of fairer financial play and how to please finicky investors. Many Chinese companies regularly rotate staff through their Hong Kong subsidiaries to improve their management skills.
CROONING ANDY. Perhaps more importantly, Hong Kong is already shaping China's masses through its alluring pop culture and glamour images. That's one reason why China's communist ideals have faded so fast. Hong Kong's growing power in movies, music, and TV programming means that Chinese from icy Manchuria to tropical Yunnan are growing up crooning Andy Lau's love songs and marveling at the gunplay of movie star Chow Yun-fat. And with Hong Kong-produced TV shows glorifying Hong Kong chic, China's youth are channel surfing right past state-produced fare.
Chinese companies, smelling money, are rushing into joint ventures with Hong Kong media outfits to learn how to create popular mainland music and movies in the Hong Kong entertainment style. "Most of the music business and film makers are trying to learn from the Hong Kong culture business," says Gene Lau managing director of Zoom Music, a Hong Kong record and promotion company.
So as the handover looms, Chinese officials are bracing for the inevitable aftershocks. There's little doubt that Hong Kong's thrall over the Chinese will strengthen. It's just that the mainland may be getting a great deal more than it bargained for in this deal.

Spring and summer rains have wreaked havoc in Haywood County and beyond, frustrating event planners, delaying spring plantings, delaying haying and stunting crop growth in waterlogged fields.
"We had a cool, wet spring, which made it hard to get out in the fields," said Kaleb Rathbone, superintendent of the Mountain Research Station outside of Waynesville. "A lot of the hay hasn't been put up yet because it's been too wet. Everything is delayed."
As if that news isn't bad enough, farmers and gardeners are bracing for diseases that follow wet weather.
"Late blight has already been found in the state," Rathbone said. "Typically, it doesn't show up until August." Blight-infected plants wilt, turn brown and die.
Downy mildew, a disease that affects plants such as squash, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and gourds (collectively known as cucurbits), is also expected to hit the area.
A forecasting model by the American Phytopathological Society lists risk levels for certain diseases across the nation. Levels are assigned on a low, moderate and high-risk basis. In Western North Carolina, the site notes, "epidemic spread is likely" for downy mildew.
Just like blight, downy mildew causes plants to rapidly die after the first telltale spots on leaves show up.
"This is the perfect weather for disease," Rathbone said. "You can spray for it, but timing is critical."
That's why it is important to closely follow the risk projections found on the N.C. Department of Agriculture and APA websites.
The data shows where the diseases have been found and, based on weather projections, predicts when the spores that are carried through the atmosphere will hit other areas. Those who intend to spray for the diseases to save their crops must do so before the disease enters an area, Rathbone said.
"If it isn't in an area, there's no real need to spray because it's expensive," he said. "but if it is in an area and you don't spray, you could lose a crop. Timing is very important."
Protecting plants
Bill Skelton, director of the Haywood County Extension Service, advised gardeners and growers to be on a constant lookout for first evidence of any diseases. Typically signs will include leaves that are a bit off color, water-soaked, have the appearance of being greasy or that have spots. Diseased leaves should be removed and destroyed.
"The next step is to determine what disease is present, and determine what to do from there," said Skelton. "You have to know what it is before you reach for a bottle of fungicide."
Growers and gardeners can bring samples of diseased plants to the extension office on Raccoon Road just outside Waynesville to get help in identifying the type of plant disease or fungus present. The most common diseases will include late blight, early blight, downy or powdery mildew, or for tobacco growers, blue mold.
It is feasible to spray plants once the right type of fungicide is selected. However, it is important to strictly follow the directions and to not exceed the recommended application levels, Skelton said.
"With this kind of weather, you would probably put on as much as allowed," he said, cautioning the spray is more protective than curative. If you already have the disease, chances are spraying will slow it down."
Skelton said the 17 inches of rainfall in June and more than 6 inches so far in July have taken their toll.
"With the wet spring, a lot of people just haven't been able to get their garden planted. If it is planted, they haven't been able to get in there to keep it weeded or sprayed," he said.
Those who have gardens in raised beds are likely faring a bit better.
"If conditions are too dry, you can water, but if it is too wet, it is hard to take water away," Skelton said. "With raised beds, you can at least keep the root zone a bit drier."

The "Romb" wall clock has a really quiet personality and you will hardly ever hear him make a noise. But this is just what you need for your bedroom or working space, right? Not disturbing at all! Plus, it has a minimal and elegant design and will keep you always in time.
"Romb" measures 30x30cm (12"x12") and uses one standart 1.5V AA battery. The clock mechanism is silent with continuous hands movement (no ticking sound at all, yay!).
So, maybe you already have a spot on your wall waiting for him? :)

A new issue of GOOP. And it's not wellness or mother-ness and food-ness. Instead, this newsletter is dedicated to GOOP Punk...at the MET Gala! For all her sh-tting on the event and moaning about what a terrible time she had, she still couldn't resist sharing with us what the styling experience was like. Full Story
Slum Bride?
FameFlynet, Splash
Jennifer Lopez was in New York yesterday at the NUVOtv Upfronts. Amazingly, the slum lover wasn't with her. The boss was probably in LA, managing preparations in advance of her appearance tonight on the American Idol season finale. JLO will return to the show to perform her latest single Live It Up.

Slum Love vs DDL
Christopher Peterson/ Santi/ Splash
Jennifer Lopez is in New York promoting her new album. Here she is on the publicity circuit yesterday looking great in leather pants and wedge sneakers, a trend that's lasting a lot longer than I expected it to, and a sheer, peter pan collar black dress with off-white pumps. Great. It's always great when Slum Bear isn't around. Full Story

Piers Morgan interviewed Lindsay Lohan...for print, the Daily Mail. Obviously they don't want to put that sh-t on camera. This happened a few weeks ago in New York. Lohan chain-smoked through the entire discussion. You can read the full exchange here Full Story
As IF Reese Witherspoon
Or maybe it's As IF everyone else. Here's Reese Witherspoon leaving Atlanta on Saturday with husband Jim Toth and an Atlanta PD baseball cap. Because she's totally best friends with them now, after DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM-ing them two weeks ago. And that's not even the most embarrassingly obvious part of this photo opportunity. Full Story
She's pretty articulate when she's drunk
TMZ has released more dash-cam audio/video of Reese Witherspoon's arrest in Atlanta. This one might be my favourite. At this point, Reese and Jim Toth are in the back seat of the cop car. She's still trying to pull rank on the officer about who she is and how he's turned the situation into a "national news" event. Full Story
Sweet Home Reese Witherspoon
The dash-cam arrest video. You've seen it, right? Footage from Reese Witherspoon's arrest in Atlanta two weeks ago was released online yesterday, after she and her husband Jim Toth settled their legal situation though. She got away with a fine of $213 and he'll do some community service and it's like it all never happened, you know?, the fact that he drove drunk and could have murdered someone. Full Story
Reese acts sorry
It was a solid performance by Reese Witherspoon on Good Morning America today. Her voice was exactly the right level -- low, quiet, measured. She played humble and contrite. She said the right things -- being accountable, her actions were not acceptable, and doing whatever it takes to make it right. Full Story

The last two days I have been traveling back and forth across the southeast. Got a couple of stories from it all and one from before.
The night before I left, I was out in my STi and came to a light where a C5 (non-Z06) had popped into the front of the lane, right in front of me. I'd seen him race someone before so was hoping he'd take off... When the light changed, he got to about a 5 mph roll then nailed it. I nailed it too...and kept up with him. The only distance he got on me was between when he nailed it and I nailed it. We shut down at about 70 mph. I still can't believe I was able to keep up with a Corvette...and yes, I fully expect lots of "oh, he must have been a bad driver, meaning you can't be all that good either" comments but will dismiss them readily.
Then on I-65 to I-20, I had several rice-bys. The first was a Prelude. He got up next to me and wouldn't look at me, then slowly passed. As soon as my signal came on to exit 65 to 20, he started revving up like some angry little bee. What a wuss. The next one was something like a Civic with hideous tail lights and a fart can. I was in the right lane and he was in the left. He came up on me, hung back for a minute, then just blew by and never looked back. Pansy.
While in Florence, SC, I saw a blue 2002-2003 model WRX with exhaust work and BOV...turned around to go check it out. Never caught it but on the way, a stock 4-door Accord revved up at me and tried to race. So, I took him up on it...I gave him a car length before I touched the gas pedal (from a 60 mph roll). The 4th-5th gear combo was way too much for the much lower powered Accord. I blasted by him like he wasn't moving, then shut it down. When he kept going straight on the road, he honked and gave a big thumbs up.
The next one was a friend's Grand Am with fart can. We lined up at a light on a long, straight highway with no traffic. He revved up, I didn't. Light changed, so I gave him a full car length before I started. Before 60 mph, I passed him like he wasn't moving.
On the whole, the trip was a lot of fun, minus the detonation issue at the end. Other cars I wanted to at least have a quick go at but they were unwilling (350Z, Corvette, Mustangs).

Hello. Just had a laugh after seeing what my Sub dealer wants for a 60K service for turbocharged cars - about $700. My 2004 WRX is coming up on 60K miles, and I'm wondering what, if any, turbo maintenance is required for our cars? $700 sounds like a lot more than oil change and fluid/filter checks.
Thanks for any info.

A Kartelan freighter was a type of freighter utilized by the Kartelans during the late 24th century.
Eight weeks prior to stardate 53329, an away team from USS Voyager encountered a Kartelan freighter carrying supplies from Sector 492. The freighter had previously visited a former Talaxian colony, where it had acquired several kilograms of amber spice. Neelix was able to procure twelve kilograms of the spice for his food stores.

Reviewing 2.50 Build 1002 (May 5, 2012)
Hi every one! I have to say that for what the program has done so far, I am pleased with it. BUT, .........please someone...... help!! I don't understand it!
It successfully downloaded 90 updates (including some for IE-8, which I do not use) The WUD program has install under C:\Program Files (just how I liked it). But the updates downloaded to a separate folder directly under C:\. It seems to me as if the update list is sitting there but they have not being installed! Doing it manually one by one, means re-starting the computer with every update (90 times!!!!!!!). Can some one help me? What should I do?
I apologised for my ignorance, but one criticism of this program, and an important one, is it does not offer any guidance!

Thank you very much for this gem of a tool, after MS killed the autopatcher project, getting updates and storing them locally became a pain.

If you don't know what a product is OR is for-- don't rate it UNTIL you AT LEAST learn something about it.
SIMPLE...otherwise, it helps NO ONE.
Say you just built a new system...or wish to have all updates in one place...maybe to slipstream...then this is for you...
as Windows Update will ONLY give them to you in their entirety after numerous restarts & reconnects(& system restore points)...and that is if no bug / glitch / freeze pops up along the way...
but if you'd prefer to sit in front of your screen for many hours, babysitting the process...feel free...

The UK's biggest shopping centre owner today unveiled falling occupancy levels and fewer visitors a year after a £6.8 billion rebranding.
Intu — the owner of a £7.6 billion portfolio of 15 retail hubs including Thurrock's Lakeside, formerly known as Capital Shopping Centres — saw occupancy fall from 96% to 95% last year and footfall decline 2%. Net rental income slid 1.9% due to tenant failures early last year.
Chief executive David Fischel says intu is prepared to sacrifice more rental income this year as it carries out improvements. "These results are history — we're looking forward. We have a £1.2 billion development pipeline and the benefits of rebranding are coming through."
Peel Hunt analyst Kate Renn said: "The environment for retail landlords remains tough."Reuse content

Win a signed copy of Issue Eight with the Blizzard customer surveyFriday 22nd February
The opinions of all our customers are really important to us. And unlike the similar platitudes mouthed to you by computerised voices over and over again on a loop while you're on hold to your utility company or phone provider, we genuinely mean that. We try not to bombard people with surveys and requests for feedback on the site, but from time to time it's handy for us to take stock of what we're doing, and see what people think of us. Anecdotal feedback from our inbox and on Twitter and Facebook is all well and good, but sometimes we need to get that little bit more; if Barack Obama can have a state of the union, then so can we.
This is the second Blizzard customer survey of its kind, and finding out what people think of us, how people are accessing the magazine and what they'd like to see more of in the future is really helpful in steering us to produce a better product. If there are writers we haven't featured, topics we haven't covered, or if you've got ideas on how we can improve any aspect of what we do, now's your chance to let us know. Got ideas for events, sponsorship, or publicity? Great. The more the merrier.
As a thank-you for giving up a couple of minutes of your time, there's the chance to enter a draw to win one of 10 signed copies of Issue Eight, which is due out at the beginning of March.
You can complete the survey here. Thank you.

How Time of Day Impacts on Business Conversations
Key Concept
When delivering bad news in a meeting or by phone, the time of day can make a difference in how the news is received. By studying quarterly corporate earnings calls to analysts, researchers showed that the tone of the conversations was more negative in the afternoon than in the morning. In addition, the market had a tendency to overreact to bad news when delivered in the morning.
Idea Summary
It is standard practice for corporations to have a conference call with stock market analysts after quarterly earnings are released. In this call, executives make a presentation concerning the earnings report then take questions from the analysts. It is these conference calls that researchers from University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and NYU's Stern School of Business studied to determine what impact time of day can have on financial communications.
Accumulating data from 25,000 corporate quarterly earnings-related calls, the results of the research by Stern Professor of Accounting and Finance Baruch Lev and Darden Associate Professor of Business Administration Elizabeth Demers, appear unequivocal: the time of day directly impacts both the general tone of the communication, and the reaction to the communication.
Specifically, Lev and Demers, working with Stern doctoral student Jing Chen, found that:
- The tone of the conversations changed during the day. (The researchers used linguistic algorithms based on the use of certain words as the basis of their assessments.) In the early morning, the tone of the conversations was more positive, then became increasingly negative - "irritable and combative" according to the researcher - as the morning wore on. Immediately after lunch, when participants were rested and had eaten, the tone of the conversations became temporarily more positive than the late morning conversations; once again, however, the tone became more negative as the afternoon wore on. Finally, after the closing bell, which is a distressing event for analysts and financial executives, the conversations took on a more positive tone.
- The resoluteness of the conversations showed the same pattern. Resoluteness is a measure of inflexibility in the conversation. This inflexibility on the part of the speakers increased during the morning hours, abated after noon, then increased during the afternoon hours.
- The increasingly negative tone and inflexibility of the conversations as the morning and afternoon hours passed seemed to impact the market reaction to the conversations. Specifically, using controlled measures of the firm's stock price fluctuation in the five hours after the beginning of the call, the researchers noted a distinct negative or positive reaction to the tone of the conversation, and especially the Q&A portion. It seemed that there was an overreaction to the conversation that over the next few days "righted" itself to more accurately reflect the substance of the call.
Business Application
Intuitively, we know that most people are fresh at the start of the day, and wear down as the hours pass, notably in mid- to late afternoon. For many, this can mean a dip in productivity and creativity.
This research empirically demonstrates, however, that fatigue and stress can have a serious and even financial impact beyond these more well known effects. If we use the research described in this paper as a guide, business leaders would do well to:
- Schedule important (or potentially contentious) calls first thing in the morning and immediately after lunch.
- Be aware and attempt to mitigate any increase in the negativity of the tone or the inflexibility in their pronouncements as the meeting - whether face-to-face or through a conference call - becomes prolonged.
- Take advantage of "de-stressor" periods in their industries (for example, the time of day, month or year that might replicate the de-stressing effect of the ringing of the stock market bell for corporate financial managers). The weekly or monthly release of a government report, for example, might reduce the stress in a particular industry; schedule potential difficult calls during the hours after the announcement.
Obviously, the schedule of meetings and calls is often dictated by other factors. When there is a choice, however, managers and leaders should try to eliminate any scheduling factors that will unwittingly make an already challenging meeting even more difficult.

Theo Epstein's extension appears to be more of a formality as the Cubs' president spoke calmly Friday about his status as he enters the final year of a five-year contract running baseball operations.
"We agree on the fundamentals," Epstein said. "I want to be here and I think (Chairman Tom Ricketts) wants us here. It will take care of itself."
No high-ranking members of Epstein's management team have departed since he took over in 2012, and many have remained content to stay for the challenge to win the franchise's first World Series since 1908.

I found a fobus paddle holster fp11b if you have a jacket on its comfortable all day and it doesn't seem to pull my belt down also the retention is good and can be adjusted. Also works as well for the pt145 if that helps.Got mine for 23.00 with shipping.
if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
I've tried a Blade-tech OWB, functional and comfortable, but not very concealable.
Cheap Amazon holster, functional, but not comfortable at all.
Foxx IWB, incredible function and great comfort. I also found it and purchased it on Amazon.
XD gear paddle holster, comfortable, fits well, but not concealable for me. With longish jacket could work, I use that and a gun mate shoulder rig for around the yard. No chl yet so no need for concealment atvthis point.

Sam and the 'new man'
Sam Newman makes a living out of poking fun at people, so it's always nice to get one back at him. Like with the little story that his former Geelong teammate Larry Donohue tells in a forthcoming edition of Fox Footy's Grumpy Old Men. Because Newman suffered from bad ankles in the latter part of his career, not only did he train just once a week but before a match it took up to an hour to strap his ankles, meaning he hardly ever got to see the reserves team play. And because he was captain, one of his duties was to greet the umpires in the dressing rooms pre-match and make sure they knew all the players, particularly any new ones. On this particular day in 1977, young Cat Gerard Fitzgerald was making his debut but because Newman had hardly had anything to do with him, when it came to introducing him, he sort of knew the face but hadn't a clue what his name was. "His name's Gerard Fitzgerald," said a teammate standing nearby as everyone fell about laughing. For once, we're told, Sam Newman was speechless.
Cheers, Larry!
Larry Donohue, now 47, is still as large as life, operating a pub in the heart of Cat territory in Winchelsea and, by the way, is still dining out on his achievement in 1976 - his best year by far - when he booted 105 goals to top the league goalkicking. The sign outside the pub invites patrons to "have a drink with one who kicked a ton".
I do? Neigh!
Not only is St Steven the best jumping horse going round at the moment, but what about this - he's a "best man", too. Well, almost. After winning the Hiskens Steeplechase at Moonee Valley on Saturday, the seven-year-old proved just how much he is loved by his owners when one of them, Steven Ash, brought him along to Mornington Race Club yesterday to be a special guest for his marriage to his sweetheart, Sharon Day. Given that a horseshoe is said to bring newlyweds luck, the new Mr and Mrs Ash should have ample.
C'mon Aussie II
With England set to contest an Ashes series in Australia this coming summer, there's already speculation on how competitive its team will be. Reader Bernie O'Connor has been keeping a watchful eye on the English county scene, from where the squad will be chosen, and has come up with this list that he reckons would be better than the one the selectors will finally decide on. It's a pretty good one too - (in batting order) Jamie Cox (Somerset), Michael Hussey (Northamptonshire), Martin Love (Durham), Stuart Law (Lancashire), Darren Lehmann (Yorkshire), Michael Bevan (Leicestershire), Ian Harvey (Gloucestershire), Andrew Symonds (Kent), Andy Bichel (Worcestershire), Michael Kasprowicz (Glamorgan), Ashley Noffke (Middlesex) and (12th man) Michael Di Venuto (Derbyshire). Yes, we know there isn't a specialist keeper but, as Bernie suggests, maybe they could all take it in turn. Never too early for a spot of Pom-bashing, we say.
Saintly souvenir
While many star players like to put away their memorabilia, perhaps for a big "pay day" at the end of their careers, not so St Kilda champion Stewart Loewe. When the Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club conducts a celebrity auction next Friday week, at the top of the list will be the jumper Loewe, a Frankston boy, wore when he played his 301st game, breaking the club record that was held by Barry Breen.
Who said that?
"I had a fair headache on the night ... but the sight was the worrying thing."
- Essendon captain James Hird yesterday on the new blow to the head he sustained on Friday night.

Filipino promoter Clarito Samson passes
By Nick Giongco
Clarito Samson, the Filipino sportswriter who promoted world title fights starring Luisito Espinosa and Gerry Penalosa in the 1990s, passed away Wednesday morning in Manila, Philippines. Samson's first foray into big-time boxing promotions came in 1996 when he staged Espinosa's mandatory defense of the WBC featherweight crown against Mexican Cesar Soto before 50,000 fans at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila. In attendance during that historic fight was WBC president Jose Sulaiman. Samson would later promote Espinosa's defense against another Mexican, Manuel Medina, in May 1997. Two weeks after the Espinosa-Medina showdown, Samson promoted Penalosa's defense against Seung Koo Lee in Mactan, Cebu, and in 1998 was in charge once again when Penalosa faced Joel Luna Zarate of Mexico at the Cuneta Astrodome.

The Jubilee line is Londoners' favourite on the Underground, according to a new survey of passengers.
One in four (24 per cent) of those polled named it as their favourite line just ahead of the Victoria line (19 per cent).
Its new-found popularity, according to the poll, comes after years of being synonymous with closures due to engineering works and subsequent rail replacement services. The Central and Piccadilly lines were tied, with 12 per cent naming them as their favourite line. The dubious distinction of the Tube's least favourite line went to the Northern line, with 34 per cent singling it out.
The poll comes after Transport for London this week launched an Olympic-style campaign to manage demand on the network's busiest line.
While the modernisation of the line continues, TfL is urging commuters to consider travelling outside the busiest periods or taking alternative routes and modes of transport.
It has even suggested commuters walk, as was advised last year, to cope with the influx for the London Games. Findings of the YouGov poll of 1,500 Londoners showed that the other unloved lines were the District (13 per cent) and the Bakerloo (10 per cent).
The Underground is Londoners' preferred mode of transport, with 34 per cent choosing it as their favourite, compared with 22 per cent who favour the bus, 14 per cent the Overground and eight per cent the DLR.
David Waboso, London Underground's director of capital programmes, said: "The very significant improvements we have made to the Jubilee and Victoria lines in recent years are clearly being recognised by our customers.
"On the Northern line, the busiest of all Tube lines, customers rightly believe we've got a way to go to bring it up to the standard they expect."

text: A big hello to everyone.. I'm from Brisbane, Australia and have been shooting film for quite a few years. Currently using and loving Practika, Mamiya, Smena and Zenit. A friend of mine and I have decided to learn how to develop our own films and have picked up some equipment fairly cheaply and we have the space and resources to build whatever we need to for the dark room. Problem is that neither of us know what we are doing and would love some direction on the absolute basics. Can any of you lovely people point us in the right direction as far as threads, groups or sections of the forum that may help us best. I have had a little look around and will continue to do so... I look forward to sharing our journey of learning with you all..

Not usually a fan of carbs at night, I have been indulging in potatoes like no tomorrow, from frozen potato wedges to roast potatoes in the last week or so. I am pretty sure all the hard work I have put in bootcamp over the last 8 weeks have gone into shambles.
The week before we were craving for the king of all comfort food; lasagna. There's just something about digging into minced beef, tomato sauce, cheese and pasta sheets. In that twenty minutes or so we were digging into it, all worries were forgotten.

Eight years after a mentally ill man beat a fellow student to death in a dimly lit stairwell on the Knox College campus, an Illinois jury has found the college negligent and ordered it to pay $1.05 million to the family of the murdered student.
In March 1988, Clyde A. Best, then a student at Knox, a private liberal-arts institution in Galesburg, Ill., beat Andrea Racibozynski, a 19-year-old freshman, to death with a brick in a glass-enclosed stairwell. Best was sentenced to 60 years in prison in 1999 after pleading guilty but mentally ill.
Richard Brodhead, president of Duke University, must be feeling lucky.
"I know I'm gambling," Brodhead said Monday in announcing that the Duke men's lacrosse team would return to the field next season with an expanded code of conduct and stricter oversight. "The reinstatement is inevitably probationary," Brodhead added.
Brodhead canceled the lacrosse team's season on April 5, after an exotic dancer told police that she was raped by team members at a March 13 party in an off-campus house.

Need crown install expertise (pic's)
Wife would like some crown installed in the master bath room. Lot's of angles but certainly something I can do except I don't know how to approach this one spot. Kind of an odd arrangment where the walls and the skylight come together. Run it around and the crown would stick out. The other option would be to do returns just prior to the funky angle but that would just call attention to it. Any ideas? I told the wife I won't do the project until I figure this out first.
My First suggestion would be to stop the lengths of crown on each wall, just short of the opened area, and do self-returns on each ends.
There are some picture examples on these links:
I would continue to wrap the corner with the crown. What are you going to do when you run into the left short side wall . it appears that the ceiling is sloped. are you going to stop at that point.????. anyway what I have done in the past is keep your horizontal lines lined up around the wall, at the sloped ceiling area I riped and laid a piece of window stool on top of the crown so the bottom profile stickes past the top edge of the crown about 1/8" to create another shadow line. when you come to the outside corner of the crown miter the sill back into the sloped skylight wall. I fell that would be another option. in addition to what atlantic suggested.

I think I would try to wrap the crown. I've got to go out to dinner but I'll draw the little block that I would install over the top of the "open air" crown tomorrow and post.

Here are some shots with a "cap" over the crown.
2 Attachment(s)
Here's a couple pics showing where I had to do something a little similar to a basement staircase.
In the first picture you can see on where the crown moulding at the tops of the columns extend beyond the ceiling and we made caps for them.
In this case we had to cap them because every time you walked down the stairs you would be looking right into the top of the crown moulding.
In the second pic you can see where we did a crown return to the left of the stair case.
Thanks for the ideas, pics and drawings! Jay, I really like your cap idea.......This forum rocks!
I thinking that a low profile piece "above" the cap may further soften the look. How about this run the crown just as you have drawm, insert the cap "inside" the crown flush with the top and then maybe a piece of base board laying back down on top of the cap (with lower profile to the front and higher profile to the back). Simple return to finish the end. I don't have the drawing skills Jay does but I think you all can follow my thoughts. It will be painted crown so it should blend in nicely with the ceiling.....or maybe something with a higher profile? or ???????
Your welcome Rohey. Your idea to use something like baseboard would work well I think.
After you get the crown installed, you'll just have to putz (that's a professional term :wink:) around with it until you come out with something that suits you...I do it all the time.

Here's a couple of shots with a 3/8" (instead of 3/4") profile. I painted your crown and door casing for you too.:thumbsup:
get rid of the wallpaper first
That looks awesome Jay...Just gave me some ideas for my funky house....

Tuesday March 13thMature
Not much to report.
Just had a funny day with some of my teachers. My science and social studies teacher my first two periods of the day. The first one, science, he was joking about how he bathed in the sink in the counter with the hose attached to it, and how he dried himself on the counter where my neutral friend, Griffin sat. Oh boy! The look on his face: priceless! I asked how he dried himself and he said he danced on the top of the table like some people used to dance on those commercials with the white button shirt and sock but no pants. My social studies teacher was playing Jazz music and old rock and decided to let me be the DJ for the class period and we planned to trade out some music tomorrow!
Tomorrow, is dress up day. A day to dress up if you're in a sport, in my case track. I am attending High Jump and 400 Meter.
This weekend is my birthday, March 17th!!! And so I'm having friends over for a little party. Hopefully everything will go alright according to plan!!! :)

Little Lord Fauntleroy HTML version
Chapter VIII
Lord Dorincourt had occasion to wear his grim smile many a time as the days passed by.
Indeed, as his acquaintance with his grandson progressed, he wore the smile so often that
there were moments when it almost lost its grimness. There is no denying that before
Lord Fauntleroy had appeared on the scene, the old man had been growing very tired of
his loneliness and his gout and his seventy years. After so long a life of excitement and
amusement, it was not agreeable to sit alone even in the most splendid room, with one
foot on a gout-stool, and with no other diversion than flying into a rage, and shouting at a
frightened footman who hated the sight of him. The old Earl was too clever a man not to
know perfectly well that his servants detested him, and that even if he had visitors, they
did not come for love of him--though some found a sort of amusement in his sharp,
sarcastic talk, which spared no one. So long as he had been strong and well, he had gone
from one place to another, pretending to amuse himself, though he had not really enjoyed
it; and when his health began to fail, he felt tired of everything and shut himself up at
Dorincourt, with his gout and his newspapers and his books. But he could not read all the
time, and he became more and more "bored," as he called it. He hated the long nights and
days, and he grew more and more savage and irritable. And then Fauntleroy came; and
when the Earl saw him, fortunately for the little fellow, the secret pride of the grandfather
was gratified at the outset. If Cedric had been a less handsome little fellow, the old man
might have taken so strong a dislike to him that he would not have given himself the
chance to see his grandson's finer qualities. But he chose to think that Cedric's beauty and
fearless spirit were the results of the Dorincourt blood and a credit to the Dorincourt rank.
And then when he heard the lad talk, and saw what a well-bred little fellow he was,
notwithstanding his boyish ignorance of all that his new position meant, the old Earl liked
his grandson more, and actually began to find himself rather entertained. It had amused
him to give into those childish hands the power to bestow a benefit on poor Higgins. My
lord cared nothing for poor Higgins, but it pleased him a little to think that his grandson
would be talked about by the country people and would begin to be popular with the
tenantry, even in his childhood. Then it had gratified him to drive to church with Cedric
and to see the excitement and interest caused by the arrival. He knew how the people
would speak of the beauty of the little lad; of his fine, strong, straight body; of his erect
bearing, his handsome face, and his bright hair, and how they would say (as the Earl had
heard one woman exclaim to another) that the boy was "every inch a lord." My lord of
Dorincourt was an arrogant old man, proud of his name, proud of his rank, and therefore
proud to show the world that at last the House of Dorincourt had an heir who was worthy
of the position he was to fill.
The morning the new pony had been tried, the Earl had been so pleased that he had
almost forgotten his gout. When the groom had brought out the pretty creature, which
arched its brown, glossy neck and tossed its fine head in the sun, the Earl had sat at the
open window of the library and had looked on while Fauntleroy took his first riding
lesson. He wondered if the boy would show signs of timidity. It was not a very small
pony, and he had often seen children lose courage in making their first essay at riding.
Fauntleroy mounted in great delight. He had never been on a pony before, and he was in
the highest spirits. Wilkins, the groom, led the animal by the bridle up and down before
the library window.
"He's a well plucked un, he is," Wilkins remarked in the stable afterward with many
grins. "It weren't no trouble to put HIM up. An' a old un wouldn't ha' sat any straighter
when he WERE up. He ses--ses he to me, `Wilkins,' he ses, `am I sitting up straight?

UnitedHealth wants local schools and youth-focused groups to apply for Heroes grants to help reverse the trend of childhood obesity, a company spokeswoman said.
Heroes is a wellness initiative that involves children creating and implementing physical activity to fight the childhood obesity epidemic, said Jane Anderson with Heroes.
The program, in its fifth year, distributes grants of up to $1,000 to schools and child-centered organizations around the state, she said.
"Sometimes these grants fund walking programs, building bike paths, building a garden," Anderson said. "Anything that gets kids moving and involves fitness and healthy nutrition."
Anderson said the main focus is to get children active and on their feet.
"Often it is elementary schools that apply for the grants but we have a lot of boys and girls clubs, like 4-H and things like that, that apply as well," she said. "This is especially important for some because funding has been being cut recently and this is helpful."
More than 12 million children across the country are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
Anderson said the organization awarded about $500,000 in grant money nationwide in its first four years.
The deadline to apply for grants is Oct. 15.

She has the power to attract thousands of viewers, inspiring them to healthier lives through organic gardening.
She's Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl. She calls herself a modern American homemaker. Being "modern" these days is about growing your own food.
"I'm Newyorican," says Patti, whose parents migrated to New York City in the 1950's. "I didn't know what a garden was." As a kid, her experience of nature was limited to Central Park, very different from the farm life her parents had in Puerto Rico.
She moved to Boston, where trees surrounded her, but it took gaining seventy extra pounds during pregnancy for her to put on some garden gloves, grab a shovel, and jump into action, as a way to exercise and eat healthier.
"When I started, it was horrible. Se me moría todo. I think I've tried up to 500 different plant varieties in the twelve years I've been gardening. Every year's an experiment. My first successes were two apple trees. They were the best apples I'd ever eaten! Then I knew what it was to eat fresh food."
Patti believes in Gardening by Cuisine. Through her Garden Girl TV show, she teaches viewers not only what to plant and how to grow it, but how to harvest, cook it and can it. The dozen raised beds, filled with homemade compost, are divided according to the dishes that she plans to cook.
"Never plant potatoes with tomatoes," she says, as she shows her garden. "In this bed I have all the ingredients for Sofrito, and this one is for Ensaladas, this one's medicinal herbs, and this one Latin Caribbean cuisine. And here is the Mediterranean bed: tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers, oregano, basil…"
Her love for the garden is palpable and contagious. "Start small, with cilantro and tomatoes and then grow to bigger things," she advises.
The Garden Girl TV shows are a natural evolution, since her professional background is in filmmaking. Her short videos are fun and full of fun and useful trivia. Did you know that you could harvest as many as 30 pounds of tomatoes from a healthy plant? "I made the mistakes so you don't have to," she says, inviting viewers on her website to play with dirt, and food, and to raise rabbits and chickens.
"My mission is to inspire people to begin farming, to connect to nature, and to remove the stigma; growing your own food is not going back in time, but it's the future, freedom, and money savings."
