He was on the hook for five runs, two earned, on six hits and two walks while striking out three as he took his 12th loss of the year – the second most in the Pacific Coast League behind former Beaver Dennis Tankersley. It is the sixth time in seven starts that five runs have crossed the dish with Stauffer on the hill.
Jon Knott went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI, his 97th on the year.

Brett Bonvechio crushed a three-run homer with two outs in the top of the ninth to lead the BayBears to victory.

He has five extra base hits in his last six after not amassing any in his previous 20.
Jonathan Ellis struck out the side, the fifth time this year in 33 appearances he has whiffed every batter he has faced in an outing. Ellis has allowed runs in seven of those outings over two different leagues and holds a 2.78 ERA on the year between Mobile and Lake Elsinore. Ellis, a right-hander, has held lefties to a .189 average this year while righties are hitting .301 off him.

Yordany Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a triple, accounting for all but one of the Storms hits. The outfielder has a hit in eight of his last nine games and is 12-for-32 over that span, a .375 average. Over his last 34 games, Ramirez has hit .279 with 11 extra base hits and 23 RBI's. He has also stole 17 bags in 19 attempts this year.
Fort Wayne won 3-1 over Dayton (Reds) Will Venable went 2-for-4 and broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run bomb in the eighth inning, as he accounted for all three Fort Wayne RBI's. He has three homers in his last four games and an RBI in each of his last four, eight total over that point. The outfielder also stole a bag, his 18th of the year in 22 attempts. Over his last 15 games he has hit .348 with 16 RBI's. After drawing 18 free passes in July, he has walked just once in August.
Jarrett Gardner earned a no-decision despite pitching well enough to win. He allowed one run on five hits while striking out four over seven frames. He had allowed 15 runs over his previous 12.2 innings on 28 hits. Thursday was the fourth time in ten starts he has allowed one run or less. He has gone six straight starts without walking a batter and has issued a free pass to just two in 51.1 innings with Fort Wayne. The opposition is hitting .412 off him with runners in scoring position.
John Madden earned his sixth save in August, accounting for more saves in a half a month than he had in any of his previous months in Fort Wayne. His previous high for a month had been five in July. Madden has allowed one run over his last 17 appearances, giving up eight hits and six walks over that 17 inning span. He has limited the opposition to a .197 average over the last three months.

Hey Guys,
I want to get the ruddy I shot yesterday mounted but there is a little bit of damage to the top portion of the ducks bill right along the side(the bill took a pellett). So my question is, can the taxidermist fix this damage or is the bird pretty much a write off for mounting?
Thanks in advance!

Designed by George Nelson. With a view to bringing modern design right into the American home, George Nelson designed a range of products offering a new and unconventional interpretation of such everyday items as lamps, wall clocks, and other domestic accessories. George Nelson's wall clocks typify the spirit of the early 1950s and, at the dawn of a new century, are still a refreshing alternative to more traditional timepieces. The models selected by the Vitra Design Museum were designed between 1948 and 1952 and some of them continued to be manufactured until the mid-1970s. Made of wood and metal, these re-editions mirror the original design so beloved of collectors right down to the smallest detail. Not only the dimensions of the clock's housing and its hands but also the way it has been constructed, finish and color are true to Nelson's original designs.

Wow you really kept your cool
I would've hit that kid as he was walking up to my car
This is a discussion on My WRX vs. Road raging Saturn (long) within the Comparison: WRX vs World forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Wow you really kept your cool I would've hit that kid as he was walking up to my car...
Wow you really kept your cool
I would've hit that kid as he was walking up to my car
I posted here a few months past when a really aggressive driver stuck a gun in my face.
The kid who stuck his head in your window should have gotten a black eye. Then mommy would have had to tend to him instead of continuing to mess with you.
His act was one of aggression. I believe you would have had little problem explaining your actions should you have been asked to.

Aaaaa F-cking Men .... I hear ya!!!Originally posted by chuglobal
Some people are just idiots. I love it when people scream at me because they were the IDIOT w/out any mistake ie: people come from a side road infront of me on the main road and accelerate like slooooowwwww and I have to move out of their way. Of course I use my friend the HORN and they look and yell at me like I'm "suppose" to slow down for them. One day they'll pull infront of a MACK truck and get run over because the truck won't be able to stop in time. I saw an accident coming home from work on 285 last week where so lady just cut off a MACK truck and the MACK truck locked up the brakes and skidded on the hwy but in his "own lane" ... good skill. The truck missed her by a few feet ... <5ft because I was 2 lanes over next to them when it all happened. The lady did NOT even care ... she didn't even accelerate. I would have stopped as a witness if the truck did hit her because idiots like her needs to LEARN to hardway. Also people ( especially women ) in SUVs, talking on the cell phone, and looking for things in the back seat. I guess I've realized that there are just way too many idiots on the road.
I think all my comments from the idiot in a bimmer post apply hear
I just can't be bothered typing all that fury again. I'm trying to relax more and chill out a bit before I get an ulcer cause by all these Incompetant F-cks on the road.
Also Why is it that you hardly ever see performance car drivers driving with their heads up the arse?
For instance yesterday I was getting onto the freeway onramp and theres a load of cars around and a nissan 200sx was next to me now the onramp merges from 2 lanes to 1 so as we go round the corner I back off a bit leave a couple of cars gap and he speeds up a bit and slots straight in. No problem nice and easy.
Other times I've gone round this corner with vans or hyundais and the d1cks just sit there side by side and I have to floor it past them and brake when I get up to the car in front and then the moron starts tailgating me!
Lack of understanding about how to merge properly is a major problem here in Perth I think we need some of your serious road rage incedents here to wake people up to themselves.
It's harsh but untill it happens their heads are gonna stay up their arses
you also have to realize that some point in that conversation, the mom told the son to get out of the car and talk to the driver....imagine sending your kid out like that...
"I don't think he knows how to give up. His mind and machine are racing as one." -Takahashi Ryosuke
Wow, I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone now. I don't know if any of you know what driving in MA is like, be have to worst AND best drivers here. There's something to be said about learning to drive in a hostile environment.
That guy was crazy though, does he realize that it illegal to approach people and threaten them in almost every state in the US. You could have blown his head off and everyone around would be YOUR witness. If someone approaches your car, you have nowhere to run, you are within your rights to use deadly force. What a wacko!!! You really kept your cool, you th' man...
One thing about MA is we have some reasonable traffic laws like...
* Hit someone from behind, 100% your fault.
* All highway on-ramps mush YEILD to high-way traffic, you cause and accident coming onto the highway, 100% your fault.
Everything else $ucks here...
wombat: Your absolutely right, guys who get performance cars generally think it is below them (in a good way) to be a punk. It reflects badly on you if you have a good car and you can't even merge correctly. "I have this cool car, I better be able to use it..." There are always exceptions though.
chuglobal: If that woman did that in MA and somebody died, vehicular homicide and reckless endangerment. Too busy looking for her brain in the back seat.

Um, I don't know about MA, but here in SC and in every state I've ever lived in, use of force laws dictate that you may only respond with a level of force you're being threatened with. This applies EVERYHWERE, including in your own home. So, if this guy had (and was threatening you with) a deadly weapon, you could legally use deadly force against him. If he was empty handed and merely threatening to beat you up (as this guy apparently was), and you killed or seriously hurt him right in front of witnesses, chances are excellent you'd be sharing a room with a guy named Butch and watching your six in the showers before the year was out.Originally posted by wrxbone

For some excellent thought and info on the the use of lethal force and the associated legal issues, see this site.
BTW, great restraint, wrxinthehouse. It was the smart and right thing, if not the fun thing.

Do us all a favor: work on learning how to drive your car before adding more power. Pretty please.
Yes, on legal grounds I agree. Sorry, I was assuming in my statement that the guy threatens you with bodily harm or some such. Actually, that's why I was commenting on the fact that the original poster was showing excellent restraint in this. That can become a dicey situation. However I have heard of situations where being in a car is considered more hazardous, such as if the person reaches in or grabs you, I believe that, because you are restrained in your vehicle their is a general understanding that if someone approaches you with intent to harm, you don't have to wait for him/her to kill you. Or try to do so. You can't run.
A lot of the legal lean in use of force is that, in general people do have the ability to run away as apposed to blow someone away. I mean, is your wide screen TV really worth killing someone, even the scum of the earth. I don't know. But if someone is coming at your car, where are you going to go, your glove box?
But it always comes down to who's lawyer is better. It is basically a case of whether you believe your life was really in danger.
Like I said, wrxinthehouse is the man. With excellent grace under fire.

Its the same way in Northern Va.
Two things that might help, get one of those cameras people use at the track and have it on a swivel so you can use it front or back. Get her tag, show her car and her behavior. I can think of at least one judge that would take her license.
The second thing, next time someone sticks their head in YOUR window, they are trespassing. I would say roll his head up in your window, but that's not legal, so use the video again
Stuff like that happens to me at least once a month in NOVA, there isn't much you can do about it, but keep on moving and don't let her know you're watching her. Funny thing is, that its just as often a woman as a man.
Go figure, some people just need to grow up.

Now with version 6.0, Skype is taking strides to move its iOS and Android apps away from the Windows Phone look with redesigned versions for both platforms that should feel a lot more familiar for users. Skype 6 for iOS also introduces an enhanced search feature, brings the iPad version up to parity with the iPhone version, and more. expand full story

When a world leader dies, the media typically overflow with laudatory op-eds. The flaws and misdeeds of the departed are forgiven in the flush of national grief, or at least politesse.
So it is with Ariel Sharon, the former Israeli prime minister who died last week at 85 following eight years in a coma.
No one with a history like Sharon's can claim a one-note legacy. He was a complicated man, made in the mold of an old-style warrior hero. Like Gen. George Patton, who was similarly reviled and lionized, Sharon spoke his mind, brushed off political authority, believed he knew best and did not suffer fools gladly.
Both were military mavericks who got the job done while butting heads with politicians. But unlike Patton, who died shortly after World War II ended, Sharon had a chance to reinvent himself as a statesman following his military service. He served for decades in Israeli politics, eventually claiming the ultimate prize: prime minister, a position he held for just five years before his stroke.
The American Jewish media have treated his passing with respect. The Obama administration's response was more measured, with the president focusing on Sharon's "commitment" to his country and stopping short of calling him a great man.
Israeli media outlets, as is their wont, were less circumspect. Paeans to his service abounded, but so did criticism. Predictably, the Arab media lashed out against the man they call "the butcher," mainly for his role in the 1982 massacres at Sabra and Shatila — a crime for which he was exonerated by the Israeli courts, but which remained the major stain on his career.
There are lessons to be drawn from Sharon's long and eventful life. To fight for one's country — and he fought in all of Israel's early wars — is a virtue, and no one disputes the man's zeal in pursuit of national security. That was always his priority, one that at times led him to take brutal action.
Sharon's record shows that war is a dirty but necessary business that cannot be rationalized via simple jingoism.
By leading the charge for the Jewish settlement movement in the West Bank and Gaza, he thumbed his nose at world opinion and showed that Israel can and will act on its own. But when as prime minister he ordered the complete Jewish evacuation of Gaza in 2005, despite domestic outcry, he demonstrated that he was not motivated by ideology so much as security concerns.
Like the country he served his entire adult life, Ariel Sharon was brash, headstrong, passionate and complex. He lived for Israel, and he died a son of the Jewish state he loved so well.

The Compose 40 also handles motion rather better than many LCD rivals. Sure, there's a little of the seemingly inevitable resolution loss as objects pass across the screen, but it's seldom distractingly severe. And don't read into all this HD talk that this TV hates standard definition. In fact, it's one of the better full HD LCDs at getting the best from Freeview's frequently low-bitrate channels.
Other strengths find the Compose 40 producing truly vivid and engaging colours, and making recordings to its HDD that are only marginally softer and less distinct than the original broadcasts.
Finally, we're mightily relieved to report that it also produces the best black levels we've yet seen from a Loewe LCD TV. But that's not to say that black levels couldn't be better still. Recent LCD screens from the likes of Philips and Samsung to name but two certainly get deeper with their blacks. And now that we're in a moany frame of mind, the Compose 40 also suffers with the odd rogue colour too.
Restoring our good mood, though, is the Compose 40's audio. The system we tried, comprising two floor-standing speakers and a subwoofer, is absolutely superb, with outstanding dynamic range, power handling and clarity. This is an arrangement we'd strongly recommend to anyone thinking of getting this TV, despite the fact that the package adds an extra £750 to the basic cost of the TV.
There's no doubt that the Individual Compose 40's price will just be too rich for many people's blood, especially as its pictures can only be characterised as good rather than excellent. But then the set isn't aimed at the 'many' but rather at the well-heeled, brand-conscious few. And we reckon it should suit that market down to the ground.
The Loewe TV is ok but don't ever buy from Loewe Galerie in Kendal.
They are horrendous, they sold me a connect package which does not work with itunes without spending hours converting your library. They never returned calls, eventually turned up to take the connect package off and now I am still waiting for a refund 1 month later. Decide for yourself!

With 46 Obsessive Repeal Votes, Boehner Leads Least Productive Republican Congress in History
Speaker John Boehner's House has been the least productive in history – thanks to 46 obsessive votes to repeal the health care law and no votes to move forward on bipartisan legislation to pass a budget, immigration reform, a farm bill or the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Reports say this Congress will enact fewer laws than at any point in the past 66 years.
"Instead of wasting time on dozens of votes to give insurance companies unchecked power, Speaker Boehner and this Congress should have been focusing on bipartisan measures to pass a budget, reform our broken immigration system, agree on a farm bill – and the list goes on and on," said Emily Bittner of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "Yet another consequence of Republicans' obsessive repeal effort is their failure to pass any legislation that would help families or raise wages for the middle class."
See today's headlines for yourself.
Washington Post: 113th Congress, going down in history for its inaction, has a critical December to-do list: "According to congressional records, there have been fewer than 60 public laws enacted in the first 11 months of this year, so below the previous low in legislative output that officials have already declared this first session of the 113th Congress the least productive ever. In 1995, when the newly empowered GOP congressional majority confronted the Clinton administration, 88 laws were enacted, the record low in the post-World War II era." [The Washington Post, 12/2/13]
Wall Street Journal: Congress Faces Long To-Do List Before Year's End: "The year's final month caps a legislative session that has been long on partisanship, indecision and brinkmanship, and short on compromise and lawmaking. Congress has enacted only 52 new laws this year. At that pace, lawmakers would fall far short of the 284 laws enacted by the prior Congress from early 2011 to early 2013, according to the website GovTrack, which follows legislation. That itself was a significant drop-off from earlier sessions. Lawmakers have spent relatively little time in Washington this year. The House has been in session for 143 days so far, the Senate for 142. In 2011, the House met for 175 days and the Senate for 170." [Wall Street Journal, 12/2/13]
USA Today: Congress hits new productivity lows: "Congress is on track to beat its own low record of productivity, enacting fewer laws this year than at any point in the past 66 years. It's a continuing slide of productivity that began in 2011, after Republicans recaptured the House majority in the 2010 elections, and the ability to find common ground has eluded the two parties while the legislative to-do list piles up. The 112th Congress, covering 2011-12, emerged as the least productive two-year legislating period on record, while 2013 is on track to become the least productive single year in modern history." [USA Today, 11/30/13]

She feels the lack of him accutely. They have agreed to remain friends. Still she sees him across a crowd and feels as if a part of her has been torn out, her chest aches. She might be sick. This life without him feels like a cancer growing or worse, an organ removed. From the intensity of the pain she knows that she has given too much of herself already. She has been depleted by the relationship. All that has been removed is the sex, and yest, still friends, she feels like a pale imitation of herself. The watches him chat and flirt, so charming, with other girls. She knows the signs, the turn of his head, the sweet trip in his words, the boyish vulnerability. She feels like he has taken a part of her with him, her confidence, her quick wit. She will need to take these things back for herself. She looks around at a room bereft of anyone who might interest her. How many of these people will she sleep with, how many harts will she devour before she feels that part of her that is missing begin to grow once more?

Search for a school in District 28
District 28
Located in central Queens, District 28 encompasses diverse communities ranging from the affluent, leafy neighborhood of Forest Hills Gardens to the more bustling, commercial area of Rego Park. Overcrowding is a problem in schools across the district with those in the more prosperous northern communities such as Forest Hills and Kew Gardens performing better than schools located in the poorer, southern sections such as South Jamaica.
Most students attend their zoned elementary and middle schools. Districtwide options for elementary school children include PS 303, an early childhood program that admits students in grades k to 3, several gifted and talented programs and Rochdale Early Advantage Charter School.
Districtwide options for middle school students include several 6 to 12 schools: Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning, Queens Collegiate, Queens Gateway to Health Sciences Secondary School, York Early College Academy and Young Women's Leadership School, Queens.
Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, one of the city's highly selective specialized high schools, is located in District 28 but admits students citywide based on their performance on the SHSAT (Specialized High Schools Admissions Test).
The district is home to many high schools including the well-regarded, but very overcrowded Forest Hills High School. Another large high school, Thomas Edison offers both solid academics and CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs.

Photo shows largest upper Cowlitz natural steelhead to return this year
Dec 23, 2013 01:40 PM Filed in: News
Scott Gibson is holding the largest natural-origin winter steelhead that arrived at the Salmon Hatchery separator in December. "We are thrilled to see this fish and know its origin," said Tacoma Power Senior Fisheries Biologist Mark LaRiviere. The steelhead had a cheek tag from being handled as a smolt at the Cowlitz Falls fish collection facility. Accordingly it was returned to the upper Cowlitz River to contribute its significant genetics to the steelhead gene pool in the upper river.

10 Key Ways to Keep Your Information Safe When Traveling Abroad With a Credit Card
As millions of Americans prepare to travel this summer, many will be carrying credit cards with them to pay for hotels, souvenirs, and other goods. According to the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries, more than 61.5 million Americans traveled internationally in 2013. With so many Americans going abroad to destinations like Europe and Mexico, it will be a boon to tourism industries in countries all over the world. But it might also be a boon to another group -- scam artists.
Traveling anywhere involves some amount of risk -- but perhaps none more than the financial variety. If you're planning to travel abroad with your credit card this year, follow these 10 tips to keep your cards secure and safe.
1. Notify the credit card company.
What good is traveling with your credit card if you can't use it? Make sure you call the credit card company ahead of time to notify them of your travel plans. As long as your credit card company knows where you are traveling, it can monitor your card and let you know if any unauthorized charges have been made.
2. Find out about international transaction fees.
How much will the credit card company charge you for using your card overseas? Most credit cards charge a 3 percent international transaction fee. There are some cards that have no international transaction fee, which you should look into before leaving on your trip (remember, it takes time to process a new card). If you are stuck with a card that has a fee, find out if it will cost more or less to make transactions using your credit or debit card.
3. Know your rewards.
Your credit card might offer you travel-related perks that you don't know about. If you've got a travel credit card -- or even just a regular one -- find out what travel rewards it gives you. It might be able to help you book a better room or get free breakfast.
4. Set up online access.
Being able to access your credit card account online can help you keep track that all transactions made on the card are from you and not a scam artist. Plus, if your card gets lost or stolen you can still contact the credit card company online rather than making a phone call from an international destination, even if it's toll free. Have you ever tried calling one of those numbers from an international destination? It isn't easy. You should also download your credit card company's app if they have one.
5. Be prepared.
You should make photocopies of all important documents, including your credit card. You can also scan those documents into your email account or a cloud, but make sure that your international destination has easy access to the Internet if you do so. Make sure you have written down the number for the credit card company in a safe place in case you have issues or emergencies.
6. Make big purchases with your credit card.
Federal law dictates that a cardholder is only liable for a maximum of $50 for any unauthorized charges made on a credit card. So if you have worries or doubts about where you are purchasing your goods, use your credit card for the transaction (unless you're paying in cash, of course).
Another tip: don't purchase anything from a shady merchant so that you avoid this predicament altogether.
7. Review purchases each day.
Not only will reviewing your purchases help you keep track of whether any unauthorized transactions have been made, but it will also help you stay on budget. Seeing how much money you're spending each day is a good way to assess your spending while on vacation -- making adjustments when necessary.
8. Pack a second card.
There's nothing worse than getting stranded in a foreign destination without any access to your money. Take a second card with you, but only use it for emergency situations. Store it in the hotel safe if you don't want to carry it around with you.
9. Use a smart card.
Soon credit cards across the U.S. will begin adopting a more secure system that involves what's known as a smart card. These cards utilize chip and PIN technology that stores and transmits encrypted data. And each card has a unique identifier that can change with each transaction.
Already widely used in Europe, the cards have helped reduce fraud and counterfeiting in places like France. If you can get your hands on one of these smart cards, it might help ease fears over swiping your card abroad.
10. Stay safe.
Store financial data and other important information on an encrypted USB flash drive while you travel. If you need to access the information, decrypt the file on a secure computer. Also, be smart when you travel. Keep your wallet in your front pocket or use a money belt. Be careful when you're in a large crowd and always make sure that you are aware of your surroundings.

Ratings agency Standard & Poor's cut the ratings on five Spanish banks on Friday, another blow to the country's ailing banking sector as the nation's deteriorating finances rattle global investors.
But S&P left unchanged its ratings on the country's two biggest banks, Santander and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria.
The Standard & Poor's ratings actions come about a week after Moody's Investors Service carried out a sweeping downgrade of Spain's banks, pointing to the government's weakened ability to support lenders.
S&P lowered its rating on Banco Popular, Bankinter and Bankia to 'BB-plus' from 'BBB-minus' and cut the ratings of two other banks, Banca Civica and Banco Financiero de Ahorros. BFA is Bankia's parent company.
The cuts to BB-plus take those banks into junk territory, underscoring risks to the country's financial sector.
Last month S&P cut its credit rating on Spain by two notches, citing expectations the government finances will worsen even more than previously thought.
Spain's banks, awash in bad loans after a real estate boom went bust, are at the heart of the euro zone debt crisis because markets fear a state bailout would put a severe strain on the country's already stretched public finances.
Spain relapsed into an economic recession in the first quarter and likely faces a prolonged slump as the government tries to shrink its budget deficit by slashing spending.Report Typo/Error

Interesting stuff. Note that Wednesdays had the highest click-through rate.
The coming Christmas break should shake up these trends as people are stuck indoors due to the weather, but travel more too. If they shop online as much this year as is predicted, we could all see a boost in traffic, but time will tell.
But Saturday bigger than Sunday? I don't think so.

Where I stayed
Zuckerman House
What I did
Too soon it was noon and time to pick up Lucas from school. We had decided to stop at the Japanese grocery store and buy some good (and affordable) sushi for a picnic lunch at Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver. The kids picked up packet after packet of sushi and then we were on our way across the bridge towards Lynn Canyon. Despite what the adults thought was an over purchase of sushi, all was cleaned up in record time and we were off to explore the canyon. I think Lily herself was responsible for about 24 pieces of salmon roll. The favourite of the adults was the tempura yam roll (think kumara, Kiwis).
This was a very cool park on the edge of the city and it had a mountain stream thundering 50 or more feet down below the suspension bridge. There is something stunning about being that high up in a pine forest looking down on the river below as it narrows and thunders over short falls, gathers in aqua blue pools and has enough flow and force to generate a steady stream of cold air that flowed down through the canyon and riverbed. Uncle Ben told us that in September it is possible to come and stand on the swing bridge and the other bridges in the park and watch salmon fighting their way upriver and leaping high in the air to negotiate the waterfalls as they strive to reach their spawning grounds. We may have to come back to witness such a sight. After crossing the bridge we walked downstream on the true left of the river for about a mile until we got low enough to walk out on the rocks along the river and spend some classic kid time throwing stones and sticks into the river. We also found that the first of the season's salmonberries were beginning to ripen. There were enough to pick and sample as we played by the river. Salmonberries are large pinky reddish berries that appear to be a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. Apparently they are a favourite of bears and elk when in season but no such large mammals were sighted by us today.
After our extended outdoor time we cruised back to the house in time to spend some time relaxing in the house and cooking a lovely tea. We had local organic pork sausages, roast potatoes and fresh asparagus. The kids went off to bed and we relaxed and talked over some cocktails. Another great day....

The Lafayette Hotel, Portland, ca. 1950
Contributed by Greater Portland Landmarks
James Cunningham, a prominent Maine architect, built the Lafayette building in 1903. The hotel became famous for its Mayfair Ballroom and mosaic tile floors.
The former Lafayette Hotel is located on 638 Congress Street in downtown Portland. Though once a luxury hotel, since the 1960s the building has been redesigned as one, two and three bedroom apartments and renamed Lafayette Square Apartments.
With its proximity to downtown Portland, residents are in walking distance from the major shopping district of Portland.

Warning: May Cause Severe Injury
Ever fallen off a ladder? Cut your hand while chopping onions? Bounced off a trampoline onto a picket fence? Sure you have! Every year millions of people injure themselves due to unfortunate accidents with a consumer product around the house. And now, courtesy of the National Safety Council, we know which of these products are associated with the most emergency room visits in the U.S. Every year, the nonprofit organization teams up with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to gather information from emergency rooms, reviewing doctors' reports to determine which consumer products and common household items are associated with the various injuries. By extrapolating the data to the rest of the country, they're able to provide an approximation of how many Americans are sent to the hospital every year because of accidents involving various products (they note, however, that the product in question isn't necessarily responsible for the injury). Here, then, are the top 10 products that led to emergency room visits in 2008, the most recent year of data available. Photo Credit: Steve Ryan

Comparing the Canon 22/2 with...
I'd like to thank the Dxomark staff for this review. I have 2 remarks however:
- I think this lens should be compared with the Zeiss 24/1.8 and the Olympus 17/1.8, since those have similar eq. focal length and aperture. The canon actually beat these lenses on most features except vignetting @f2, despite being smaller, lighter and cheaper!
- You should review the Fuji X100's 23/2 ASAP, since it's also a competitor and a very sought after lens.

Coolpix a
I doubt this Canon lens is as sharp. If the Coolpix A had the same 18MP count, it could score 15 to 16MP rating.
But then, this is a modern lens that can resolve better than older, affordable primes of Canon. Is there an EF-S mount of this?

Re: Coolpix a
CP A is also an AA-less sensor, so in theory that MP difference would be even less in terms of 'sharpness'. The CP A is also matched to the sensor where the 22mm is not (as such).
No there is no 22mm f2 for EF/EF-S mounts.

WellStar Kennestone Hospital continues to lead the way with innovative medical technology and treatment. Patients with certain types of advanced abdominal cancer typically have very limited treatment options, but a new procedure using a combination of heat and chemotherapy administered during surgery is giving hope to cancer patients at Kennestone and other WellStar hospitals.
The procedure, called Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion, (HIPEC), is used to treat patients with cancer that has spread to the abdominal cavity usually primary colon, appendix, gastrointestinal and ovarian cancers. Data over the past five years shows patients undergoing this treatment live longer and have a better quality of life.
"Clinical studies show cytoreductive surgery in combination with HIPEC to be significantly more effective than surgery alone, thus offering many patients, who otherwise would have limited options, an improved prognosis and quality of life," said Sahir Shroff, M.D., a surgical oncologist with WellStar Health System. "We are excited to be able to offer this cutting edge technology for patients with advanced abdominal cancer."
A potential candidate for this type of procedure undergoes a variety of staging and diagnostic studies in order to show that the tumor is limited to the abdomen's inner lining. The procedure entails a complete surgical tumor removal from all surfaces inside the abdomen. Immediately following tumor removal, a heated sterile solution containing chemotherapeutic agents is circulated throughout the abdominal cavity for a period of 1.5 hours using a system called the ReCirculator 8.0, which was developed by Eight Medical Corporation. The ReCirculator delivers chemotherapy directly to the abdominal cavity and precisely manages the temperature and flow rate of the solution.

I didn't allow my female cat to mate early this day
My 8 months old female cat had her first heat cycle today, I didn't understand her new awkward behavior until I searched in the internet and read about it. My cat is usually allowed outdoor, I am sure that if she gets out she'll get sprayed but at the time I'm writing this she's doing the ugly calling and it's night and I can't let her out. She's been like this for 3 hours now and I won't allow her outside only after 11 hours (in the next morning) that makes 14 hours of this heat period. Will that be unhealthy or will it harm her? And is there a way I can stop this behavior even only for tonight?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Sadly, I haven't found any way to stop her behavior during a heat cycle, except getting the cat spayed. Not letting her out while she's in heat is the best thing you can do unless you want kittens. I know how annoying the calling is, especially at night, but the only way is to just buckle down and get through it. I would suggest getting her spayed if at all possible (unless you want to breed her, of course). Unfortunately the only way to get her to stop her behavior is to either spay her or wait until it's over and enjoy it until the next cycle comes 'round.

Hi everyone, I was wondering is Sauna will make the Acne/Whiteheads worsen? Then sauna have Dry Sauna and Steam Sauna.. May I know which one is good for cleaning the skin and slowly cure the acne? Thanks AC
Is Sauna Good for Acne?
Doctor Answers 2
Re: Are Saunas Good For Acne
The idea behind saunas in general is for the heat to open up the skin pores to clear out any blockages present. However they will dry out the skin. This may not be ideal if you have sensitive skin or conditions like Rosacea, eczema or dermatitis. Pregnant women in their first trimester should avoid them as they have been linked to neural tube defects according the Journal of American Medical Association.
The results from saunas will be different for different people. Lasers, like the Spectra system for example give far more predictable outcomes that are consistent with standard time frames. They specifically clear blockages and address the oil producing sebaceous glands so that they secrete less oil.
