For the Love of St. Nick by For Garasamo Maccagnone
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Two siblings pray to St. Nick for their father's safe path home. The youngest boy tend to become ill so often that the family fears for him.
Most people know St. Nick as a big jolly fellow who brings present on Christmas but the real St. Nick was much more than a toy giver. St. Nick was known to be the Saint of children. Helping small children that prayed to him.
The book was not what I expected I feel like some of the story in the beginning was just filler. I wish I could say that I had a heartwarming experience but I did not. I did not have enough time to feel for these children as the book is only 44 pages. I felt like a book with St.Nick in the title should have described more of why they pray for St. Nick especially since everything else was seeming fully depicted.
The first thing that struck me about this book even before I opened it up was the beautiful cover illustration, St. Nick carrying his sack looking out at me through the tree branches. This book appeals to me because of the way it reaches back to the beginnings of Christmas and the heart of what the season is truly about.
When his wife dies giving birth to his second son, 'The Commander' moves his family out of California to Michigan and a little hunting cabin on the edge of Lake Huron. Though the younger boy is in a seemingly constant battle with fevers due to his traumatic birth, the boys grow up pleasantly enough playing hockey and riding on snowmobiles while their Father works on his secret mission at the nearby military base. When the time finally comes for their Father to preform his mission, the boys are left with their nanny for the weeks leading up to Christmas. And when a fast fever sends the youngest brother into convulsions a visit from a Saint on Christmas Eve just before their Father's return home makes it a Holiday to remember.
For The Love of St. Nick is deep and does not take children for granted, I love that. The worst possible thing for a childrens' book to do is underestimate it's audience. Garasamo Massagnone grabs you from the beginning with the untimely death of the boys' Mother and holds you with honest, touching story telling to the very end. The only negative comment (if it can be called that) I have is that there isn't enough of this book. At 61 pages long with illustrations, I wanted more, though looking at it from a child's point-of-view it might be just right. My son is still a little young for this book but I look forward to sharing it with him in the future. It is refreshing to find a young person's book about the holidays that doesn't center around Santa Claus and presents. This book takes tough life events and intertwines them wonderfully with the Holiday season, incorporating just enough family, faith and tradition to remind us what the Holiday season is truly about.
a tender, simple novella that should become one of those books we bring out every holiday season. But then the quality of the story should not be saved only for the spirit of Christmas it conveys: this is a story that rings of familial love and commitment and deserves to be read as a reminder of what is important - our sense of belonging to family, both birth and extended forms.
The story of FOR THE LOVE OF ST. NICK is narrated by Tiger, the older of two sons in a single father family: the mother died during childbirth of the younger son Johnny leaving the US Navy Commander father to raise his two boys with the help of the maternal grandmother. Life is complicated by the fact that Johnny is delicate - not of mind but of body - and much of Johnny's life is spent recovering from his physical maladies. Tiger and Johnny are devoted brothers and all goes well in their California home until the Commander is reassigned to Michigan. Adjusting to the change in climate and the other changes in environment affect the boys but they are resilient and soon find the varying seasons of Northern Michigan reasons for exploring new ventures. The Commander receives orders to participate in a secret mission shortly before Christmas and the boys are left in the care of their housekeeper. Johnny undergoes a near tragedy forcing Tiger to abruptly become a man, turning to prayers to his favorite saint, St. Nicholas, who makes a 'visit' and alters the consequences in a way that leaves the little family (and the reader) caught up in the giving spirit of the Christmas season.
The pleasures of Maccagnone's writing are many, but not the least of them is the quiet simplicity of the language he uses to relate his story. This may be told as a memory (in retrospect) by the adult Tiger, but the essence of the tale is centered in a child's vision - full of wonder, devotion, and love.
This is a cute little story with roots in both Catholicism and Christmas. Its a short 45 pages so you can read it in one sitting if you like. I enjoyed the story, but found it very predictable and the Catholicism to be a bit too overemphasized.
In a nutshell: A very short, very touching story about a family who has faced many challenges in a few short years, loss, illness, relocation to a new state, and a Navy father who must occasionally leave his family to complete risky missions with his team. Instead of destroying faith, these challenges serve as a quiet source that affirms faith and strengthens the family. The events on page 41 brought tears to my eyes and made my heart soar! This is a great (and short) holiday read with a touch of Catholic influence and a whole lot of faith!
From Amazon:
Two boys who have lost their mother tragically, worry they'll never see their father,a Naval Commander, after he embarks on a secret mission with the United States military. After the boys are advised by their nanny to seek the help of St. Nick, the boys are shocked by an early Christmas visit.
First Paragraph:
Mother died during the birth of my little brother Johnny. I was three years old at the time and don't remember much except that my grandmother, Nana Beth, who was babysitting me at the time, dropped the phone and her head when my father called from the hospital and broke the news. When Nana sunk to her knees and started crying hysterically. I was so scared; I ran and hid inside my parent's closet, clinging in the darkness to my mother's favorite dress, rubbing my cheek over and over against the soft fabric until Nana Beth was able to find me.
My Review:
This holiday story is narrated by Tiger, Johnny's older brother by three years. Tiger and his father, known as "The Commander" to most, lose their mother/wife at the same time that they gain their brother/son Johnny due to complications during Johnny's birth. These same complications cause Johnny to fight illness throughout his life.
The family is relocated because of the Commander's job in the Navy, and he hires a nanny to help with the boys. During a secret mission for his country, Johnny becomes terribly ill and Tiger is the only person on hand to tend to him. Just when it seems there is no hope, a miracle happens!
Characters: Although we never meet "Mom", Tiger and Johnny are both boys growing up under the guidance of their father and nanny, Mrs. Pennington. Even though the story is short, it is easy to quickly become attached to the characters, and to experience the wonder they feel during the holiday season.
Story-Line: A gentle story filled with family and faith. The book gives the reader the ability to glimpse the joys of childhood, along with its challenges.
Readability: I found the book easy to read and enjoyable, with touches every reader can enjoy and appreciate.
Overall: This is a nice holiday story with a truly touching ending.

How to Create a Stacked Herb and Vegetable Garden with PVC
Thinking of starting your own vegetable garden? Homesteading and self-reliant gardening are growing trends, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to pick up and move to the country.
There are plenty of common sense ways you can begin your journey into self-reliant gardening right where you are. It's all about changing your way of thinking and getting creative. More on self-sufficient living and homesteading.
One creative and efficient gardening technique I've come across is perfect for urban gardeners or those who want to be able to transport their garden if needed. PVC pipe gardens allow you to grow plants virtually anywhere using only a few inexpensive supplies.
Getting Started
To get started with your own PVC garden, you first need to determine what you want to grow. Due to the limited space, PVC gardens are best suited for herbs and small vegetables.
Next, it's time to choose your PVC pipe. The size you choose will be determined by what you're growing, how much space you have, and how much you want to spend. I recommend 6" to 8" pipe size for a good combination of growing area and portability. Look for white schedule 40 PVC pipe. this is the most cost effective type. It generally comes in 20 ft. sticks, but you may be able to find it in shorter lengths locally.
Creating the PVC Beds
Next, it's time to cut out the top of the pipe. You can do this several ways. One way is to cut the pipe in half lengthwise so you are left with two troughs. Another way is to just cut sections out of the top of the pipe (when the pipe is laid horizontally). The best tool for cutting pipe in this way is probably a circular saw, but a hand saw will work if you're patient. I also recommend drilling some small holes in the bottom of the pipe for drainage.
The last step to creating the container is capping off the ends of the pipe. For this you will want to use PVC slip caps. Use the same size as the pipe you have. Press them on the ends and leave them unglued so you can remove them for cleaning or drainage if needed.
Support Your Garden
The easiest and probably most efficient way to support your new PVC garden is to create a simple frame from inexpensive or scrap lumber. Try creating an "A" frame with a few cross bars and laying the pipes across as shown in the picture. Nail in small support pieces to keep the pipes in place and standing upright.
If you're thinking about taking the plunge into growing your own vegetables, but need a garden that is space efficient and portable, consider PVC gardening. PVC pipe gardens come with some nice benefits for seasoned gardeners, too.
- • Efficient use of space
- • No tilling required
- • Raised beds deter weeds, rabbits and rodents
- • Plants can be taken indoors during cold spells
- • Easy to water
- • Take your garden with you when you move!
Another benefit of gardening this way, is that there are endless ways you can alter and improve your gardening system to work for your situation. One tip is to rotate your pipe beds for more or less sunlight exposure as needed. You can also weave a perforated irrigation hose in and out of the tiers, laying the hose near the base of the plants for simple watering. Any other ideas? Share them with us here!

Lawsuit puts annexations on hold
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - Recently-approved annexation requests for the Mall of Louisiana and other properties halted Thursday after a former state representative filed a lawsuit against them.
Woody Jenkins filed suit Thursday to stop the Mall of Louisiana's annexation into Baton Rouge. That halted the annexation process until a ruling could be made.
"The mayor and the council flew by the seat of their pants and their plan has a lot of holes in it, literally, you can't have holes in an annexation," said Jenkins.
The suit named the EBR Metro Council and City of Baton Rouge as defendants. It said because the annexation excludes the main anchor stores it will create a burden on law enforcement. Jenkins also claimed the annexation relied on connecting contiguous properties, but the city did not secure a section of railroad connecting the properties.
Supporters of the movement to incorporate the southern part of the parish into a new city, including the mall's property, said the annexation request was a political ploy to derail their efforts.
But city leaders, who championed the annexation, think the lawsuit doesn't have merit.
"Even if there were legitimate concerns that's not a consideration for the plan of governments requirement for annexation. That may be something that's included in the state statute, but the plan of government does not reference any of those things so it does not apply, he's applying the wrong law," said Metro-Council member John Delgado.
A judge must hear the challenge within 30 days, and rule within five days of the hearing. That ruling can be appealed, and a hearing in that case would be expedited. If the annexation is upheld it would go into effect 10 days after the ruling.
The Metro Council approved the annexation request in May. The deadline to challenge that vote is Friday.

Effect of forage energy intake and supplementation on marbling deposition in growing beef cattle. In: Proceeding, Western Section, American Society of Animal Science. 61:44-49. Interpretive Summary: Abstract only.
Technical Abstract: Glucose is the primary carbon source for fatty acid synthesis in intramuscular fat, whereas, acetate is primarily utilized by subcutaneous fat. Our objective was to examine the effect of forage energy intake and type of fermentation on marbling deposition by stocker cattle grazing dormant native range (DNR) or winter wheat pasture (WP). Angus steer calves (n = 68; 258 ± 29 kg) were used in a completely randomized design comparing 4 winter grazing treatments: (1) control, 1.02 kg•hd-1•d-1 of a 40% CP supplement to meet their DIP requirement while grazing DNR; (2) control plus corn-based supplement at 1% BW while grazing DNR; (3) WP at a high stocking rate (3.2 steers/ha) to achieve a low rate of BW gain; and (4) WP at a low stocking rate (2.2 steers/ha) to achieve a high rate of BW gain. Following winter grazing, 3 steers per treatment were randomly selected for intermediate harvest. The remaining wheat pasture steers were transitioned to the finishing phase, while the DNR treatments remained on summer native range for 115 d prior to finishing. Steers were fed to a predicted backfat end point of 1.27 cm. During winter grazing, ADG was 0.19, 0.52, 0.68, and 1.37 ± 0.03 kg•d-1 (P < 0.01), backfat was 0.03, 0.10, 0.17, and 0.85 ± 0.07 cm (P < 0.01) and marbling scores were 180, 217, 280, and 340 ± 11.67 (P < 0.01) for treatments 1-4, respectively. There were no differences in final marbling scores (423, 428, 427, and 425 ± 14.92; P = 0.99, respectively). These data indicate that growing programs differing in forage energy intake and type of fermentation can influence marbling deposition at the end of winter grazing; however, final marbling scores may not be affected when cattle are fed to a common fat end point.

Governor Susana Martinez issued the following statement in response to
the news that alleged fugitive child killer Noe Torres will soon be extradited to New Mexico to stand trial for the murder of 10-year old Carlos Perez in 2005.
"Over the past few months, we have remained in close contact with Mexican authorities to ensure that Noe Torres would be returned to New Mexico to stand trial for the murder of Carlos Perez. His return will not only ensure that justice continues to be served in this case, but I have no doubt it is welcome news to a family that continues to grieve the loss of young Carlos.
"I continue to be encouraged by the relationship that we have worked to build with our neighboring states in Mexico. Working closely with Chihuahua Governor Cesar Duarte, motivated by a shared resolve to bring justice to Carlos' murderers, we were able to secure the arrest of Noe Torres in six days - an effort that had eluded us for more than six years.
"His impending return is welcome news, and I'm grateful to all of the law enforcement and government officials in Mexico and New Mexico who have worked so hard on behalf of Carlos."
Governor Martinez has worked diligently with Ninth Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler in addition to Mexican authorities, particularly over the last few weeks, to ensure a successful extradition. District Attorney Chandler has also been in close contact with Carlos Perez's family as New Mexican and Mexican officials work to complete the extradition process and bring Torres to justice.
For more information, please follow this link to the Governor's initial release of
information on the arrest of Noe Torres earlier this year.

Japan stocks hope for best in ill-fated "Ox" year
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - If you thought things couldn't get worse for Japanese stocks after their poorest performance ever in 2008, a tongue-in-cheek research report forecast this year to be grim as well because of its Chinese zodiac animal.
The report by private research company Daiwa Institute said that 2009 was an "Ox" or "Cow" year, which in the past has been disastrous for stocks. Japan's economy has been forecast to slow down this year, on the back of the global recession.
"There's a market saying that oxen stumble," the report said.
In Japan, the New Year begins on January 1, like the Western calendar, while other countries in Asia are expected to ring in the Year of the Ox later in the month.
"The Nikkei has fallen an average of 11.4 percent over the past five Years of the Cow, the worst among all the animal zodiac years," the Daiwa report said.
In 1973, an Ox year, the Nikkei plunged 17.3 percent for the year by a global oil crisis that rocked Japan.
The next round of the 12-year cycle, in 1985, saw the start of a sharp rise in the yen following the Plaza Accord, in which five leading economic nations agreed to depreciate the dollar against the yen and the German mark.
Though stocks gained 13.6 percent for the year, it was their poorest performance in the last half of the 1980s.
In 1997, Yamaichi Securities, one of Japan's venerable "Big Four" securities firms, collapsed as the Asian financial crisis deepened. The Nikkei reeled, tumbling 21.2 percent. Continued...

Handle on Toilet MUST be held down throughout flush
I had an old flapper in the toilet that was plastic with a rubber seal. It broke and so I replaced it with a Universal flapper made entirely of rubber. I replaced it with no problems, but now when I flush, the flapper doesn't float and stay up while the water drains below. Instead, as soon as I let go, the flapper drops and the water stops draining. Any suggestions so I can flush and not have to hold the handle down?
You might have bought a water saver flapper, install a non water saver flapper, or the chain attached is too long not allowing the flapper to lift high enough to stay afloat.
Thanks for the suggestion Ron. You've helped me in the past and I appreciate yet another tip.
I still have the packaging for the flapper. It's a Korky Plus Premium Universal Flapper. They had the water saver ones next to this one, but I wanted to go for simplicity.
I played with the length of chain and shortened it link by link and tested with a flush after each one. I shortened it until it was too tight and it would not close and every test had the same result: letting go of the handle had the flapper immediately fall down.
I know the flapper is manufactured to have air trapped on the underside of the flapper (to help make it float) and it's as if the flapper is still to heavy and won't float - the draining of the water from the tank pulls it right down.
Defective flapper, take it back and get a replacement.
I have the same problem - have to hold the handle down for the count of 25 to complete a flush. I'm curious to know if getting a new flapper solved the problem.
Try moving the chain to another hole in the flush arm.
Install a regular non-water saver flapper with the little rubber "ears" hooked onto the L-shaped brackets at the bottom of the overflow pipe in the middle of the tank instead of with the round rubber ring on the flapper (cut that out with scissors)...works better that way.
Shorten the cahin to where it just allows the flapper to close completely.
Should solve the problem.
Good luck!
Tried everything posted here
I also bought the Korky plus Adjustable toilet flapper. I have tried replacing it, adjusting the chain, making sure it was cut properly and I used the protrusions instead of the ring. Still have to hold the handle down through the entire flush. Please help!
Found the answer. I thought having the float high was the correct position to increase flush time but turns out having it all the way down by the flapper did the trick!
I never would have thought so, but THIS works like a charm. I have used them for years.
Willie- -that one reminds me of the call I had about a toilet not completely flushing as described and I found: That the owner had epoxied a large fishing cork (real cork) onto the top of the flapper to make it rise quicker and stay up longer. I saved that one for some time for "show & tell". David
Really pretty ingenious. And super simple... no moving parts except the regular flapper hinge.
I want this on my toilets - to be forced to hold the handle down so that I only use enough water as needed. (ie water stops flowing when I release the handle.) How do I change this? I cannot put a brick in the tank (not enough room) and I do not have a dual flush system. Thanks
Caution, if you misjudge and don't let enough water into the toilet to flush, then you have to do a second flush and the two flushes combined will likely exceed the water use of one flush that was allowed to drain automatically (without the fishing sinker attached).
Also I am skeptical that the liquid setting of the dual flush will actually do the job. To test whether yours does, put some old fashioned washable liquid ink (not ballpoint or India) in the toilet and stir it up and then try the liquid setting.
I was having the same problem! First the flapper wasn't staying up and I had to hold it to drain all the water. I adjusted the chain, but then the flapper wouldn't fall back down! Found some heavy-ish washers with a large enough hole and threaded them onto the chain to sit on the flapper-- worked perfectly!

Men jailed for 14 years for conspiracy to supply cocaine
Two men have been sentenced to over 14 years in prison after an investigation into the supply of a class A drug.
Paul Neale, who is 26-years-old and from Sandhurst and 32-year-old Adam St George from Bracknell were found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire.
Another man from Bracknell Christopher Evens was sentenced to a two year suspended sentence and fined £8000.
Two other men on the trial were found not guilty.
Speaking after the sentencing, officer in the case Detective Constable Frank Cregan from Hampshire Constabulary's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said, "The sentences bring what has been a very detailed and challenging investigation to a close.
"In the course of our investigation we have seized £160,000 and just over five kilos of cocaine and amphetamine to the street value of £417,765."
Con man pilot sentenced to three years behind bars
A man who forged a pilot's licence so he could fly commercial aircraft into and out of Gatwick Airport has been jailed for three years. Sixty-one year old Michael Fay was a former American Air Force pilot. He moved to Britain and lived in Alton in Hampshire.
Fay was convicted at Winchester Crown Court of faking papers to get a job with a Libyan airline. Our presenter Amanda Piper spoke to our reporter Mel Bloor about the case.

Son jailed for life after murdering his mother
Seventeen-year-old Kieren Smith has been jailed for life for the murder of his mother Leah Whittle. The teenager stabbed his mother 94 times at the home they shared in Weymouth in Dorset in July. Leah Whittle had moved back to the county from Yorkshire with her son after her marriage broke down.
During the eight-day trial the court heard that Smith had lied to police telling them his mother had been killed by drug dealers. The court also heard that the teenager had been expelled from school at the age of 14, and that he had spent the next two years alone in his room watching dvds.
In sentencing Smith to life imprisonment with a minimum tarrif of fifteen years before he becomes eligible for parole, Judge Guy Boney said:
"Your life revolved around watching DVDs alone in your room with an absence of emotional engagement.
"It is from that diet of constant DVDs that your fascination of knives came from. That kind of unhappy & unfulfilling life that you lived must, in fairness, be put against your background, that your parents separated when you were little more than a baby and your family life was almost non-existent.
"I accept that you are not by nature an emotional man, but you have shown not a smidgen of remorse."
Nicholas Haggan QC, who was defending Smith in court said the teenager's motive for the murder was unknown.
The QC said: "It's always difficult to give an explanation and in this particular case it's impossible. One will never know why the defendant did what he did. This is not an ordinary case; we accept it's very unusual for a young man to kill his mother."
Teenager jailed for life after killing his mother
A 17-year-old boy has been imprisoned for life for murdering his mother. Kieren Smith stabbed 42-year-old Leah Whittle 94 times at the flat they shared in Benville Road in Weymouth in Dorset, on 21st July.
Sentencing the teenager at Winchester Crown Court Judge Guy Boney said Smith would have to serve at least 15 years behind bars before being eligible for parole.

Interest France's Louvre Museum Offers Interactive Tours on 3DS (Updated)
posted on 2012-04-14 23:30 EDT by Ko Ransom
France's Louvre art museum announced on Tuesday that beginning April 11, visitors to the famous art gallery will be able to rent a Nintendo 3DS handheld system that offers audio and visual commentary on works. The system costs 5 Euros (about US$6.50).
Visitors using the system will also be able to see where they are inside the museum so that they can more effectively navigate its halls. The system will offer guidance in French, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, and Italian. According to Nintendo, this marks the first major application of the handheld as an art museum guidance system.
Previously, the Louvre has hosted an exhibit by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure creator Hirohiko Araki, as well as a press conference for the live-action 20th Century Boys film.

Derek Jeter's check-swing roller eluded both Jonathan Papelbon and infielder Bill Hall to allow Brett Gardner to score from second base with the go-ahead run as the New York Yankees recorded a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in 10 innings in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Jeter was credited with an infield hit on the play and Hall was charged with an error.
Robinson Cano homered and drove in a pair of runs for New York. Andy Pettitte started and was shaky again for the Yankees. He lasted just four-plus innings, allowing nine hits and two walks. He struck out eight and surrendered three runs. Eric Patterson scored Boston's second run of the game on a wild pitch in the eighth inning to tie the game at 5-5. Josh Reddick was thrown out at the plate while trying to score the go-ahead run on the wild pitch by Kerry Wood. Papelbon (5-7) took the loss for the Red Sox.
Phil Hughes (18-8) got the win in relief and Mariano Rivera recorded his 33rd save of the season.
The Red Sox honored the retiring Mike Lowell before the game. Lowell had two hits, including a two-run double in the first inning.

Welcome to MinnesotaMinnesota is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is the twelfth largest state by area in the U.S. and the twenty-first most populous, with 5.2 million residents. It is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Those waters, together with forests, parks, and wilderness areas, offer a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
Nearly sixty percent of Minnesota's residents live in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area known as the Twin Cities, which is the center of transportation, business and industry, education and home to an internationally known arts community. The rest of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation.

LAS VEGAS -- The Houston Rockets plan to use the amnesty provision on forward Luis Scola and could do it as early as Friday, a person familiar with the process told USA TODAY Sports.
The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly until the decision was official.
If the Rockets amnesty Scola, it allows them to make a considerable trade offer to the Orlando Magic for center Dwight Howard.
The amnesty provision, new to the collective bargaining agreement reached in November, allows a team to waive a player and not have the player's salary count against the salary cap. However, the team is still responsible for paying the player. Scola has two years and $19.6 million fully guaranteed left on his deal and a third year worth $11 million, of which only $1 million is guaranteed.
If Scola's salary comes off the Rockets' books, they could acquire Howard and absorb some bad contracts the Magic are looking to unload as they prepare for a future without Howard.
A person familiar with Orlando's trade discussions and requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations told USA TODAY Sports that the Rockets were one team the Magic have talked with about a Howard trade this week.
The Rockets selected guard Jeremy Lamb and forwards Royce White and Terrence Jones in the first round of the June draft, have first-round picks available to send Orlando and are able to take back salary.
That's exactly what the Magic have been looking for in a trade for Howard – some combination of young talent, draft picks and salary cap relief. Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu has two years, $23.8 million left on his deal – $17.8 million which is guaranteed – and guard Jason Richardson has three years, 18.6 million left on his deal. New Magic general manager Rob Hennigan would love to jettison one if not both contracts.
If Scola is amnestied, he will go through a waiver process. The highest bidding non-taxypaying team wins Scola's rights. If he clears waivers, he is free to choose his team. However, that scenario seems unlikely. Scola's waiver process would be a tad complicated because of a clause in the new collective bargaining agreement, which would require teams trying to claim to Scola to pay at least the sum of the unguaranteed money he could make in the final year of his current deal -- about $10 million spread out over the next three seasons.
Even so, Scola should be sought after in the waiver process. The 32-year-old veteran, who will play for Argentina at this summer's London Olympics, averaged 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds last season.

Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
We walked into the bathroom to find one mirror that slipped out of the bracket and chipped the mirror. The other mirror was also slipping out of the brackets. Be warned!!! The mirrors are to heavy for the brackets.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
Only reason this gets one star is because I can't give it zero stars. Customer service was also great to work with.
We purchased the 36" version of this. Poor choice. Didn't read the reviews before buying. My fault.
THIS MIRROR HAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. The mounting brackets do not and will not support the weight of the mirror. Without any holes or being etched into the mirror, they will not stay straight. After 6 hours, my father (a licensed contractor) and I could not get them to work.
Packaging was laughable. Came with two anchors. If you're going to try to get them work, you'll need stud support in back (which the online directions mention). Box was shipped with installation directions for a toilet paper bar.
Only saving grace was customer service. They were friendly and easy to work with. Received a full refund. Wish I could get that time back.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
Gorgeous but like everyone says the hardware doesn't support the mirrors. Boyfriend who is very skilled just stormed off.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
We love this mirror and all of the other products we recently ordered from SH...top notch company and products!
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
I bought this mirror for my new construction home. It was actually installed by professional mirror installers. They had a horrible time hanging it. The brackets do NOT support the mirror. It pulled away from the wall twice, leaving a hole in my bathroom wall that had to be patched. The brackets do not line up straight on the wall- they are actually crooked even now. I thought I'd found avoid price for a quality product. I was wrong. I should have gone with my original idea and bought these from Pottery Barn. Do NOT buy these mirrors. They are a nuisance with poorly constructed hardware! I gave it 2 stars simply because the mirror is so nice.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
Style is great, size was perfect, but the brackets are horrible!!!! They don't really support the weight, they won't stay square with the mirror, and the instructions were even worse! The instruction were actually for a towel bar!! I like how they look but I'm very disappointed in the quality of the brackets and the lack of appropriate instructions. Also felt like I was going to break the mirror when tightening the brackets.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
This is a nice mirror, at least i like it. nice clean image reflection, adjustable should someone taller or shorter need to use it. My installer had issues with installation, hardware is small screws a bit dangerous to tighten could possibly crack glass ?? mount somewhat small . I was hoping that mirror had brushed metal frame or trim, but it didnt. overall happy with product.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
The brackets are very nice chrome. The mirror has no back, very fragile, and intimidating to hang even by a skilled person.
Comments about 32"" Helsinki Rectangular Tilting Mirror:
This mirror exceeded our expectations. Beautifully made and quality construction for an extremely reasonable price!

There are Silver Bullet recycling containers at four locations in Town for residential drop-off of single sort recyclables. At times, the container capacity cannot keep up with demand. We ask that if you encounter a full container, please do not leave recyclables on the ground around the container. Recyclables left outside are considered illegal dumping, and are frequently blown onto neighboring property, contributing to roadside litter. Please help us keep the silver bullet sites and neighboring properties clean by not leaving recyclables outside the containers!
All users of the Recycling Facility must have a valid Freeport Transfer Facility Sticker on their vehicle. Stickers are valid for the calendar year and may be purchased at the Recycling Facility. Proof of residency is required.
The cost for Freeport residents is $6.00. Residents of Pownal, North Yarmouth, and Durham may obtain a sticker for $40.00 for disposal of any waste except residential waste. Fees apply for disposal of bulky waste and other items. Many recyclable items can be disposed for free, as noted below.
* Mixed paper which includes all Newspaper/Magazines/Junk Mail/Phone books/Brochures
* Paperboard: cereal and food boxes (remove metal and plastic objects, no wax cartons)
* Glass Jars/Steel Cans/aluminum foil and plates
* Cardboard/Moving Boxes
* Clear Milk Jugs (#2 HDPE) & bleach, detergent, and vegetable oil bottles (#1 PET)
* All Plastics labeled #1-#7; (including plastic shopping bags -

* 90 cent fee for each 30 gallon-sized bag of household garbage weighing up to 30 pounds (fee covers the cost of hauling the trash to ecoMaine)
* Purchase a Garbage Drop-off punch card at the Town Hall or at the Recycling Facility: $18.00 for a 20 bag punch card, $9.00 for a 10 bag punch card. Prices subject to change.
*Lower your household garbage collection costs (residents can reduce costs by minimizing waste and only visiting the Recycling Center when needed.)
*Dispose of all your trash and recycling items at the same time you visit the Facility
*Mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and #2 HDPE plastics are baled and sold, generating revenue for the town (unlike material in silver bullets which doesn't generate any income for Freeport).
In order to encourage Freeport residents to dispose of hazardous waste chemicals in a responsible manner, the Town is conducting a pilot program to subsidize the cost of disposal for Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). A HHW coupon is available from the Freeport Recycling Center with a value of up to $20.00 towards the cost of disposal at the Riverside Recycling Center in Portland. The HHW coupons will be available to the first 100 residents who request them, with a limit of one coupon per household. Any disposal cost in excess of the $20 coupon value must be paid by the resident. The resident must take the coupon and HHW to:
Riverside Recycling Center
910 Riverside Street, Portland, 797-6200;
Open on the first Saturday of the month, April through November, 7am to 4pm.
Household hazardous waste includes the following types of chemicals:
Herbicides, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents, weed killers, and oil-based paint.
Food scraps can represent 20% or more of the average household's waste and have a low fuel value at ecomaine's waste to energy plant. Transporting this heavy, wet material to ecomaine is costly both financially and environmentally. The best way to reduce these costs is to compost food scraps right at home. Composting can be done in a pile in the backyard or in a specialized bin.

Allure Magazine Beauty Blogger Awards

Oh wow! Thanks for posting this! There are so many fab blogs out there, they'll have a hard time choosing! Good luck to you ;)ReplyDelete
A BIG word of warning on this and why I did not join - They own all content you submit and in the fine print it says they own any RELATED content. So if you submit your motto or beauty philosophy, guess what? They own it! And not just for the winners, but for EVERY SINGLE entry. I declined to enter this contest because I view this as unethical. So beauty bloggers, beware.ReplyDelete
@the lacquered lady, you bring up an excellent point, therefore I encourage everyone who is slightly interested to read the official rules and all the fine prints. I do think that overall this is a great opportunity to get known in the beauty industry =)ReplyDelete
@Glitz Glam Budget It certainly is a great opportunity! I just wish the company had less stringent rules about this. I have never seen a contest like this retain rights to all entries (retaining rights to the winner is common).ReplyDelete
Oh dear, the rules are a little OTT aren't they? Glad I don't live in the US - I'd still be tempted to enter if I did.ReplyDelete

Sadly I won't be entering this year but I will next year :)
Thanks for sharing! I probably won't enter but maybe next year...I hope you are though!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; the support of each and every one of you is truly appreciated! I read and value each comment, so I really appreciate all the responses, feedback, and suggestions!

Ellen DeGeneres praises Obama
Ellen DeGeneres has applauded US President Barack Obama for declaring his support for gay marriage.
Yesterday, the politician confirmed he backs the legalisation of same sex couples being able to tie the knot.
Ellen, who married Portia de Rossi in 2008 following the overturn of the gay marriage ban in California, delivered a speech on her show today to thank the president for his announcement.
"President Obama just came out in support of same sex marriage and I say, 'Wow - wow'," she said.
"There have been moments in history when someone has the courage to stand up for what they believe in and that one action changes everything.
"It takes a brave man to take a stand like this - especially in an election year - so I say, Mr. president thank you very, very, very much!"
She was one of many celebrities who have used Twitter to praise the leader for his words. Lady Gaga, an ambassador for gay rights, lauded Obama on the social networking site.
"Obama, congratulations on being the first sitting President to support marriage equality. Feels like the future, and not the past. #NoFear. (sic)" she wrote.
How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris agreed. Neil confirmed he is gay in November 2006 and has been supporting equal opportunities ever since. "Bravo, Mr. President, and thank you," he tweeted.

This Saturday, December 12, the Fog Men will host two matches honoring the memories of two larger-than-life rugby players.
The annual Bingham Stein match kicks off at 11:30am with the Fog Men's A-Side facing off against the Redding Highlanders. The Bingham Stein is a symbol of the first meeting between the two teams, which took place a few weeks after September 11, 2001. Proposing that the match be played in honor of the Fog's No. 8, Mark Bingham, who lost his life aboard United flight 93, the Highlanders furnished a commemorative beer stein that each year goes home with the winner.
At 1pm the Fog B-Side will play the San Jose Silverhawks in the Mike Sammon Memorial Game, held in honor of the late Mike Sammon, a long time member of the Seahawk rugby family and fixture in the South Bay rugby community for 26 years who passed away in 2006.
Both matches will take place at the Fog Rugby Pitch on Treasure Island.

audit2allow - generate policy allow rules from logs of denied opera- tions
audit2allow [options]
--help Print a short usage message -d Read input from output of /bin/dmesg. Note that audit messages are not available via dmesg when auditd is running; use -i /var/log/audit/audit.log instead. -v Turn on verbose output -l read input only after last policy reload -i <inputfile> read input from <inputfile> -o <outputfile> append output to <outputfile>
This utility scans the logs for messages logged when the system denied permission for operations, and generates a snippet of policy rules which, if loaded into policy, might have allowed those operations to succeed. However, this utility only generates Type Enforcement (TE) allow rules. Certain permission denials may require other kinds of policy changes, e.g. adding an attribute to a type declaration to sat- isfy an existing constraint, adding a role allow rule, or modifying a constraint. The audit2why(8) utility may be used to diagnose the rea- son when it is unclear. Care must be exercised while acting on the output of this utility to ensure that the operations being permitted do not pose a security threat. Often it is better to define new domains and/or types, or make other structural changes to narrowly allow an optimal set of operations to succeed, as opposed to blindly implementing the sometimes broad changes recommended by this utility. Certain permission denials are not fatal to the application, in which case it may be preferable to simply suppress logging of the denial via a 'dontaudit' rule rather than an 'allow' rule.

Kitchen outlets above sink- no gfi protection
I have six kitchen receptacles on a 20 amp circuit. Two of them above the sink. I checked the panel and it is a standard breaker. The circuit feeds only the receptacles in the kitchen. I have found no gfi protection for those six receptacles What I want to do is pull all the receptacles and replace them all. The first one with a gfi, as to protect all up stream. Or do I buy standard receptacles and replace the breaker with a fault interrupter. The house was built in 1977 in Cleveland Ohio. I am looking for the best most up to code way of doing this project. Cost is not a factor.
Identify the first receptacle and replace with GFCI and connect the rest to the load side.
Install a GFCI breaker.
Either one is fully compliant.
Technically, those receptacles behind the sink should be blanked off so they cannot be used.
I don't buy that. What did the N.E.C say at original inspection?
Is there any reason to replace all receptacles with gfi s? I would also like to clarify the location of the receptacles behind the sink. They sit just on the very outside edge of the sink and are @ 8 inches above the counter top.
I don't know when the code was put in place. Personally, I don't THINK it was ever legal to put a receptacle directly behind a sink, but I have nothing to back me up. If the receptacles are outside the edge of the sink, they are fine.
I don't know if they were still using al. back then, but make sure to have a copper/al. rated device if you do.
I have never seen a gfi rated for aluminum.
Only need one gfi per circut as long as it's the first one in the circut.
In coming power goes to the line side, out going goes to the load side.
GFCI protection for kitchen counter receptacles was not required until the 1987 edition of the NEC.
So, any house built or wired before that time did not require such protection.
As others have pointed out, you can provide GFCI protection in many ways, by installing a breaker at the panel, or a GFCI device at the first outlet in the circuit.
Or, a stand-alone GFCI receptacle in place of each outlet. If your circuit includes an outlet for a refrigerator, then I'd recommend this method, leaving the fridge outlet without GFCI protection.
My original thought was that the fridge was feed by the kitchen receptacles, I was surprised to see the fridge on a dedicated circuit. Same with the microwave. The receptacles are worn out, I pulled one of them to just take a peek and it was back stabbed. The electrician I worked with would pull, cut and strip, then bend the wire and put it on the screw of the receptacle. In what seemed like one fluid movement. I have plenty of slack, should I cut and strip or wrestle getting the wires out of the back?

Anyone shoot +P ammo in their G26? Would be interested in any pros and/or cons?

Anyone shoot +P ammo in their G26? Would be interested in any pros and/or cons?
I've been thinking about trying some Speer Gold Dot 124Gr +P, but didn't know if it might be a little too "snappy."
I carry 124 grain +P gold dots in mine. It's a little snappy but not uncontrollable by any means. I also try to practice with 124 gr NATO so that I'm used to the recoil
That's what I carry in my G26. Crush support hand grip, shooting forearm parallel to the ground so it can push instead of flip and let 'er rip.
I am no fan of Glock however I wouldn't be concerned with using whatever flavor of "enhanced" 9mm ammunition for concealed carry duty. Brother-in-law loves Glocks and shoots all manner of loads through his including handloads of fairly "immense" proportions. He is cognizant of the issues surrounding .40 and .45 caliber models but the 9mm guns seem inured to everything he's run through them.
It isn't necessary to practice extensively with high-dollar, high performance ammunition despite what some claim. An inexpensive standard velocity load can be found that will approximate point-of-impact of +P offerings of similar bullet weight out to any reasonable range at which one would choose to practice. Just verify point-of-impact with one's chosen +P load and familiarize with it. Then gather up some cheap stuff of the same bullet weight and go shooting. Save dollars and potential wear. I'd certainly be willing to carry a 9mm Glock with +P. In fact, some sort of +P would be my choice.
I've not found any +P 9mm that was really snappier than similar standard velocity ammunition but I shoot heavy steel 9mms. If the +P was a bit punishing then standard velocity ammunition would be fine for self defense. After all, good hits are good hits and and an assailant could be said to be having a bad day if fairly struck with any 9mm.
+p ammo is not a problem for glocks. I have some L7A1 Nato which is about +p+ and it eats it up.
My carry gun is the 26 and my carry load is the Ranger 127grain +p+.......the glock shoots them with no problems, and no stiffer recoil than +p or NATO, to me at least....
124 +p and 115 +P+ Gold gots are what I carry in mind. Both are very accurate and recoil isn't bad. I perfer the 124gr flavor but when it isn't available I go with the 115 +P+.
It's the way Granny rolls.
I don't think you'd have any issues with this rounds snappiness.
I run Corbon 124+p through my 26 and have no issues at all. I have run alot of the exact load you speak of through it and have had zero issues. I went with the corbon because I got a good deal on a bunch of it.
I am a Glock certified armorer and your +P is 41,500 psi and +P+ 42,000 and change Glocks are rated 43,000 psi
Thanks to all for the comments - very helpful indeed.
Glock 26 handles +p ammo v ery nicely. I shoot Corbon 115+p with not much added recoil & accuracy is very good!
Thats exactly what my Wife carries in hers@5'7" and 130 she's o.k. with it.
124gr+P GDHPs in G26? Sounds good to me. Practice what you carry.
carrying 124gr +P Remington Golden Sabers in my G26 today. Hey, they were on sale.

Ivory Coast fighting spreads to southern Abidjan
* Poll dispute tipping Ivory Coast back to civil war * Fighting had been restricted to north
ABIDJAN, March 2 (Reuters) - Explosions rocked the southern Abidjan suburb of Koumassi overnight and on Wednesday, as fighting between insurgents seeking to oust Ivory Coast's Laurent Gbagbo and security forces spread to new areas of the main city.
Security in the world's top cocoa grower is deteriorating, with gun battles between rival forces most of last week and hostilities resuming across a north-south ceasefire line that had been largely quiet since a 2002-3 war ended in stalemate.
Ivory Coast has been in turmoil since a disputed November election between Gbagbo and his rival Alassane Ouattara, who won the poll according to U.N.-certified results that Gbabgo has refused to concede.
Fighting has mostly been restricted to northern pro-Ouattara suburb of Abobo, where an insurgent force calling itself the invisible commandos has seized control of most of the territory and forced out pro-Gbagbo security forces.
Gunfire has also been heard much closer to the central business district. Across the other side of town, residents of Koumassi said fierce fighting had flared up there too.
"Since last night there have been a lot of military on the streets. They said they are looking for insurgents who have infiltrated the neighbourhood," said student Eloise Kouassi. "The traffic is dead: everyone is staying in."
