Luvenia W. Jackson
Superintendent of Schools
Click Here to View Luvenia Jackson's Resume
About Luvenia Jackson
Luvenia W. Jackson was appointed permanent Superintendent by the Clayton County Board of Education at its regular monthly meeting on June 2, 2014. She has served as interim Superintendent since October 1, 2012. She assumes administrative leadership of the fifth largest district in Georgia, serving a diverse student population of nearly 52,000.
Ms. Jackson, a veteran educator with 33 years of serving the children of Clayton County, began her career in 1976 as a Special Education teacher at Hendrix Drive Elementary. In 1983, she continued serving the special needs population at Morrow Elementary, remaining there until 1990. While at Morrow Elementary, she was elected to serve as president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Association of Educators (GAE), beginning her two-year term in 1988 and providing dynamic leadership for the more than 40,000 education employees statewide. At the conclusion of her GAE commitment, she returned to Clayton County Public Schools and was tapped to serve as assistant principal at Riverdale Middle School from 1990 through the end of the 1994-95 school year. She was then named Principal of Pointe South Elementary serving in that capacity for one year before being selected to lead Kendrick Middle School.
In 1998, Ms. Jackson was promoted to the district's administrative offices bringing her comprehensive style to the positions of Assistant Superintendent for Student Services, Chief of Student Services-Policy and Legislation, Acting Chief Communications and Information Officer, and Special Assistant to the Superintendent. During her tenure as a district-level administrator, she created the first student-parent handbook, restructured the Alternative School to extend services from a half-day to a full-day, and created a tiered Student Support Services delivery model. In collaboration with the Clayton County Juvenile Court, Ms. Jackson established the Focused Citation Agreement which is considered a national model for dealing with at-risk youth. In recognition of her contributions to the field of juvenile intervention and support, the national resource room in the Clayton County Youth Development and Justice Center has been named the "Luvenia Jackson Resource Center."
Selected as one of Georgia Trend Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Georgia, Ms. Jackson was also named the Georgia Association of Educators Administrator of the Year, and a Clayton County NAACP Image Award recipient. She has received numerous awards recognition honoring her commitment to the care and safety of children throughout Clayton County and beyond.
Ms. Jackson earned four degrees at Georgia State University: a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Special Education and Early Childhood Elementary Education, a Master of Education degree in Administration and Supervision, and a Master of Education degree in Interrelated Special Education. She also earned an Educational Specialist degree from West Georgia College in the area of Education Leadership Administration and Supervision.

CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina point guard Marcus Paige earned first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors and was selected as the league's Most Improved Player in voting by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association and the head coaches.
Forward James Michael McAdoo was named second-team All-ACC by the media and third team by the coaches.
Sophomore forward J.P. Tokoto was selected to the All-Defensive team by both the media and the coaches.
Forward Kennedy Meeks was voted to the All-Freshman team by both the media and coaches.
Paige, a sophomore from Marion, Iowa, is the first ever recipient of the ACC's Most Improved Player award. He becomes the 46th Tar Heel to earn first-team All-ACC honors and marks the 73rd time a UNC player has made the first team. He is the first UNC sophomore point guard to make the first team since Phil Ford in 1976. CoSIDA recently named Paige a second-team Academic All-America.
Paige leads UNC with 17.1 points a game, 138 assists, 75 three-pointers, a .395 three-point percentage and an .876 free throw percentage and is tied for the team lead with 49 steals. He has scored 20 or more points 11 times, is averaging nearly a dozen points in the second half and has earned UNC's defensive player of the game award 10 times. He is one of only two players in the league to rank in the Top 10 in both scoring (sixth) and assists (fourth). He also was the ACC Player of the Week a league-high four times this season.
The media selected McAdoo to the All-ACC second-team for the second consecutive year. Paige's and McAdoo's selection marks the fourth straight year that at least two Tar Heels earned All-ACC honors. The junior from Norfolk, Va., leads UNC in rebounding at 6.6 per contest and is the team's second-leading scorer at 14.2 a game.
Tokoto is the first Tar Heel to earn All-Defensive team honors since John Henson in 2011 and 2012. Tokoto is tied for the team lead in steals with 49, has 17 blocked shots and 121 defensive rebounds, just four off the team lead.
Meeks is the 19th Tar Heel to earn All-Freshman honors since the team was first selected in 1993. The Charlotte native is second among all ACC freshmen with 6.0 rebounds per game. He averages 7.4 points a game and leads Carolina in field goal percentage at .545.

Basic Information
Located in South Louisiana, the Lafourche (pronounced la-FOOSH) Parish. Lafourche Parish, southwest of New Orleans along the banks of Bayou Lafourche, is a part of Acadiana, or French Louisiana, home of the Cajun people. The Cajuns trace their ancestry to the French-speaking Acadians who migrated from Acadie (now Nova Scotia) in the mid-18th century. Bayou Lafourche, and therefore the parish, get their names from the Cajun French "La Fourche" meaning "fork" used to describe how the bayou was once a descending fork of the Mississippi River.
CAJUN ('ka:-j@n), n. A person born or living along the bayous, marshes and prairies of south Louisiana; devoted to gumbo, etouffee, fricass, sauce piquante, jambalaya, and crawfish; dedicated to the fais-do-do, Cajun French music, hard work and letting the good times roll (laissez les bons temps rouler!).
Lafourche Parish spans about 1,000 square miles of area and has an estimated population of 88,000. Major industries include seafood production, offshore oil and gas drilling and services, shipbuilding and repair, and sugar cane farming and milling. Thibodaux, the parish seat, has an estimated population of 15,000 and is home to Nicholls State University.

IRVING, Texas -- A day after his sideline tantrums made national news, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant said he doesn't think his behavior went too far. "I don't think I did at all," Bryant said the day after the Cowboy's stunning, 31-30 loss in Detroit. "Like I said, man, I'm very passionate about this game. That will never change. That's what made me, that's the kind of guy that I am." Bryant was caught by TV cameras in two separate incidents. In the first one Bryant appeared to interrupt a sideline meeting between Garrett, quarterback Tony Romo and quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson. The other incident showed Cowboys tight end Jason Witten shouting at an obviously upset Bryant, with defensive end DeMarcus Ware ultimately stepping in to calm down the receiver. When Bryant met with reporters Monday at the team's Valley Ranch practice facility, he again insisted that his outbursts were positive in nature. "I think everybody in this locker room knows where my mind and knows where my heart is at," Bryant said. "It's all about winning." However, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett did meet with Bryant after the game to discuss his behavior. "Dez is a very passionate guy," Garrett said. "Dez is as well-liked a guy on our football team by his teammates and by the coaching staff. He's very passionate about the game, he loves football, he loves this football team, and he wants to win. "One of the things he has to learn is to channel all that positive stuff, all that positive emotion. He has to channel it and focus it to the task at hand. That's something we talk to everybody on our football team about. It's really important you're able to do that, go to the next play, get yourself ready for the next situation." Bryant said that's what Witten was attempting to do when the two were shown after Detroit had taken the lead with 12 seconds left. "Witten was trying to get me ready for another play. I'm pissed about the drive, because they went down and scored," Bryant said. Bryant said he didn't think either incident affected the game, and that he wasn't trying to get more passes thrown his way. Bryant was targeted six times and caught three passes, two for touchdowns. "All Witten was doing was trying to get me focused and trying to get me ready for the next play. It was just kind of heated because they scored," Bryant said. "What I was saying to Romo, Terrance Williams just scored a touchdown and I was like, If they're going to play him like that, keep throwing him the ball.'" But appearances are everything, which was the message Garrett delivered to Bryant in their postgame meeting. "He's matured a lot in the last 3 or 4 years, since he's been with our football team, and that's an area where he has to get better," Garrett said. "That's something we addressed with him during the game, that's something we addressed with him after the game. "But you never want to take away that passion, that spirit that he has. Again, he's as highly respected and well-liked a guy on our football team that we have." Bryant said there's no rift in his relationships with Witten or Romo, neither of whom were available to the media Monday. "Oh man, let me tell you something, our relationship is great, with Romo, Witten, anybody on this team," Bryant said. "When you've got situations like that in a game, things tend to get a little crazy." But Bryant did say that he understands how his behavior on the sideline Sunday could be misunderstood by outside observers. "Big time. There's no anger at all. Me and Witten, we laughed and smiled. We even joked about it whenever we got on the bus," Bryant said. "If we would have won, I guarantee you, probably none of this would have even mattered. But we didn't. I've just got to do a better job of understanding how things can look when they're really not." Follow Keith Whitmire on Twitter: @Keith_Whitmire

Encouraging, assisting and time to EAT : improved nutritional intake for older medical patients receiving Protected Mealtimes and/or additional nursing feeding assistance
Young, Adrienne M., Mudge, Alison M., Banks, Merrilyn D., Ross, Lynda J., & Daniels, Lynne (2013) Encouraging, assisting and time to EAT : improved nutritional intake for older medical patients receiving Protected Mealtimes and/or additional nursing feeding assistance. Clinical Nutrition, 32(4), pp. 543-549.
Accepted Version
(PDF 137kB)
Background & Aims: Inadequate feeding assistance and mealtime interruptions during hospitalisation may contribute to malnutrition and poor nutritional intake in older people. This study aimed to implement and compare three interventions designed to specifically address mealtime barriers and improve energy intakes of medical inpatients aged ≥65 years.
Methods: Pre-post study compared three mealtime assistance interventions: PM: Protected Mealtimes with multidisciplinary education; AIN: additional assistant-in-nursing (AIN) with dedicated meal role; PM+AIN: combined intervention. Dietary intake of 254 patients (pre: n=115, post: n=141; mean age 80±8) was visually estimated on a single day in the first week of hospitalisation and compared with estimated energy requirements. Assistance activities were observed and recorded.
Results: Mealtime assistance levels significantly increased in all interventions (p<0.01). Post-intervention participants were more likely to achieve adequate energy intake (OR=3.4, p=0.01), with no difference noted between interventions (p=0.29). Patients with cognitive impairment or feeding dependency appeared to gain substantial benefit from mealtime assistance interventions.
Conclusions: Protected Mealtimes and additional AIN assistance (implemented alone or in combination) may produce modest improvements in nutritional intake. Targeted feeding assistance for certain patient groups holds promise; however, alternative strategies are required to address the complex problem of malnutrition in this population.

Mercer and Curry Homer; Boyer And Sinkbeil Sign
Kannapolis Intimidators 6, West Virginia Power 5(box) Another error in the 7th inning made the difference, but in this game, it was the Power who committed the error and Kannapolis who took the win. 2B Kevin Mort went 3-for-4 for the Power, and both CF Mel Rojas and 1B Matt Curry had two hits, with a homer by Curry. Zack Dodson made the start for the Power. He gave up 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st on a double, a single, and a double. Then he gave up 3 more in the 3rd, after two outs had been recorded, on a single, and back-to-back doubles. The Power put a runner on base in each of the first 5 innings, though they left all five of them on base. Rojas doubled in the 1st, RF Dan Grovatt walked in the 2nd, Mort singled in the 3rd and again...

NFL Draft > 2009 Prospects > FB > Eric Kettani
Eric Kettani Scouting Report
|Navy Midshipmen
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 227 lbs.
2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Eric Kettani, FB, Navy
A Navy back in the 2009 NFL Draft? You bet! Eric Kettani started all of the Midshipmen's thirteen games in 2006 as a fullback, where he rushed for 229 yards on 53 attempts (4.3 avg) with a TD. In 2007, Kettani started five of thirteen games for Navy. He rushed for 880 yards on 152 carriers (5.8). Good frame, although he needs to add more weight and upper body strength. Powerful legs. Great leg drive. Tough to bring down. Runs with passion and determination. Find spaces between the tackles. A willing blocker who likes contact. Good set of soft hands. Slow (4.6). Limited athletic ability. Although he has good hands, his route running skills are underdeveloped. Needs more time in the weight room. Kettani is not as strong or physically impressive as other fullback prospects, but he has determination and runs very hard. Plus, he does have one of the softer sets of hands in the nation. A willing player, he will do anything to make a roster. He will probably start off as a special teamer, but he has a future in the offensive backfield. Kettani has a chance to be selected late in the Draft. Even if he is by-passed, he will make an NFL roster because of his heart and desire.

Velashape - Waste of Money and Unrealistic
I had traditional lipo in 2006. I had gained some fat back under the bra line and aross my low back. I was one of those starry eyed people excited about the promise of non-invasive and "affordable" cellulite/fat reduction. Of course, they just happen to have the buy one get one free... READ MORE

Thailand's tiger tourism expands despite raid on infamous tiger temple
By Patpicha Tanakasempipat
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's tiger tourism business is booming and the captive tiger population is growing fast, experts say, more than two months after Thai wildlife authorities found scores of dead cubs while rescuing animals from the popular Tiger Temple.
Animal rights activists called on tourists to shun Thai animal attractions, which they say are cruel and should be shut down, after the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province, west of Bangkok, closed in June.
Thai wildlife authorities vowed to inspect other tiger attractions, and confiscated 24 tigers from two venues, but the scrutiny has been short-lived.
"On the ground, nothing has changed," said Jan Schmidt-Burbach, a Bangkok-based wildlife adviser for the World Animal Protection NGO. "The Tiger Temple case has brought attention to the topic but is unfortunately limited to the temple itself."
A July report by World Animal Protection shows that the number of captive tigers in Thailand's tiger entertainment industry jumped 33 percent, from 623 tigers in 2010 to 830 tigers in 2015-2016. Eight new venues also opened during the period.
Thailand offers an array of wildlife tourist attractions, from tiger "selfies" to elephant rides and orangutan boxing.
Some venues practice "speed breeding" in order to produce tiger cubs for tourist photo-ops, said Schmidt-Burbach.
The practice involves taking newborn cubs away from their mothers so that the females are ready to breed again sooner. Continued...

HOMER CITY BOROUGH: Borough hires part-time policeman
HOMER CITY — Borough council hired a part-time police officer Tuesday, with a council member offering positive comments about his addition to the Homer City Police Department.
"I think I speak for all of us when I say that he would make an excellent addition to our police department," Jennifer Jaworski said of Nick Tartalone, of Homer City. Tartalone is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and of its Municipal Police Academy, police Chief Louis Sacco said, adding that this is Tartalone's first job as a police officer.
"He seems to be interested in wanting to do the job. I think right now the mayor could use some help, so I have no problem with it," said council member Joe Iezzi.
"I think he'd make a fine addition to our department, too. He seems like a pretty level-headed guy," Mayor Kenneth "Cal" Cecconi said.
Tartalone is the seventh part-time officer in the department. Sacco is the only full-time police department employee.
Also Tuesday, borough Manager Rob Nymick announced that the borough and Evergreen Conservancy are pursuing a new project to expand work at the site of the boat launch through a grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Plans for the site include construction of a pavilion with picnic tables, a community garden, flower beds and a dog park.
Evergreen Conservancy helped build the boat launch along Twolick Creek to improve recreational access to local waterways.
Evergreen and the borough also hope to reroute the Hoodlebug Trail by taking it off Route 56 and connecting it to Cooper Avenue and possibly using Love Alley as another interconnect, "solely if we get the financial support from DCNR," Nymick said after the meeting.
Everything is being put together and worked on now as far as cost estimates, he said. In order to apply for the grant, they need a 50-50 match in funds. The majority of the match will be in-kind donations of equipment and manpower.
The goal of the project "is to create a place where community members of all ages can gather and enjoy low-impact outdoor activities," the letter of intent stated.
"The reason we're looking at developing the boat launch and bringing the dog park/community gardens into this area (is) we're trying to attract people to Homer City," Nymick said. "And it's not just for sports; we're trying to hit all the other interests that are out there."
There was extensive discussion about the project between council members, particularly concerns about enforcements, ordinances, liability and possible cost issues for the dog park.
Nymick said they are looking at putting in the dog park at the boat launch, which would be the borough's responsibility, and putting the community garden/flower beds in the Intown Park area, "which I think would satisfy the neighborhood."
If the garden and flower beds are located in the park, Nymick said, that would fall under the responsibility of the recreation department, "but I'm not going to dump additional responsibilities on them."
"They have enough responsibilities, they got enough to handle with the community swimming pool and seven other parks," he said.
Tuesday's discussion led to a motion by Iezzi to allow Nymick to send a letter to the DCNR and general public to seek input and financial support. He said no action can be taken on the project until all the facts are brought back to council.
Council adopted two resolutions regarding the Municipal Pension System for Act 44 of 2009. The act requires a competitive selection process and an annual disclosure requirement.
Council adopted Resolution 2013-1, a resolution of the borough of Homer City relative to the procurement of professional services for the municipal pension system sponsored by the borough based on the requirements of Act 44. One of the requirements of the act is passing the resolution to be in compliance.
Council also adopted Resolution 2013-2, which also relates to retirement plans, that states that no monetary contributions shall be made by the employee members of the police bargaining unit into the police pension plan for the 2013 budget year, in compliance with the police contract that was ratified June 5 of last year.
Council members accepted the resignation of Ed Monko from the Parks and Recreation Board and are seeking letters of interest to fill the vacancy. Letters may be submitted to the borough office.
Sacco announced that the police department received a $2,000 Drug-Free Communities grant. It pays overtime for officers to go out and enforce underage drinking laws in the borough, Sacco said, and is active now through Sept. 29.
Sacco also reminded residents that parking meters must be paid from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, as per the borough ordinance. He said he's finding that anywhere from 3 to 6 p.m., tickets are being issued for meters that are not being paid.
Council approved a motion to appoint Irvin McMasters to the board of directors for the Central Indiana County Joint Sanitary Authority.
Nymick thanked the Homer City Area Business Association and Bankson Engineers for their recent donations toward six new snowflake holiday lights. The business association donated $500 and Bankson donated $240.
The borough would like to expand its decorations with newer, more energy-efficient lighted ones and is looking for donations from area businesses and the public to help in its endeavor.
Nymick also announced that the majority of February was wet with snow, rain and ice and that crews are cleaning intersections and patching potholes when weather permits.

Never underestimate the importance of third dates, folks. Third dates are where long-term determinations are made, where a relationship crystallizes, where you find out if the guy with perfectly mussed hair and a slobber-free kissing ability actually has something under the hood. While first dates test physical attraction, and second dates allow you, in varying degrees, to act upon that attraction, it is the third date where actual personalities are revealed. While first and second dates generally take place in public — restaurants, bars, movie theaters, or (for the luckier) park benches after last call — third dates tend to take shape on living-room couches, accompanied by light spirits, take-out, and DVDs.
Indeed, in many relationships, the figurative "third date" is where each partner presents his or her defining movie, the one film that epitomizes your personality — the piece of pop culture you put out there to reveal your essence, man. Back in the '60s and '70s, I suspect these dates took place in front of a record player, where songs were traded back and forth and couples quickly learned that Bob Dylan and Donna Summer could not co-exist. Today, in a technological world replete with rewind, pause, and DVD bonus features, it is the couch (or futon) where these defining moments are made, and where Bruckheimer can ruin a relationship or Alexander Payne can make it.
This is why, in our first "Pajiba's Guide to What's Good for You," column, I offer you a handy-dandy guide to third-date movies, and what they mean to the future of your relationships.
The Rain on My Car is a Baptism, the New Me, Ice Man, Power Lloyd, My Assault on the World Begins Now: A guy can almost never go wrong with pre-2001 John Cusack — Say Anything or High Fidelity says sensitive yet masculine, culturally aware yet unpretentious, and Fidelity's credit-rolling Stevie Wonder number, "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" provides the ideal segue from love seat to fold-out couch. Grosse Pointe Blanke also offers a subversive twist to the Cusack canon, suggesting all of the above, but with some added baggage: He's cool, musically inclined, but his relationships inexplicably fall apart under the weight of his past. If he offers you Shakabuku, however, politely decline and make your excuses.
What if Andy Gets Another Dinosaur? I Don't Think I Can Take that Kind of Rejection: If she presents anything animated (Pixar or Disney 2-D), you're looking for a world of hurt; you may as well resolve now to condom-littered doormat status. A woman who offers up Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Toy Story, or Finding Nemo is either hopelessly naïve or more likely an overcompensating sex fiend, and she's probably going to end up sleeping with your best friend, your roommate, and the guy down the street before your relationship ultimately crumbles while the two of you are stuck in the same apartment trying to screw your way through all of your acquaintances. It's an ugly scene, folks. And if you go through it, Lady and the Tramp will never be the same.
You Rush a Miracle Man, You Get Rotten Miracles: Conversely, if your potential girlfriend pops in Sleepless with Seattle, You've Got Mail, The Princess Bride, or When Harry Met Sally, she's not only kind of bland, but she's angling for a ring. Not only does she have a hankering for a long-term commitment, but she's got ridiculously high hopes for your relationship, and you may as well give it up now, man, cause all the Cusackian affectations in the world won't live up to her lofty expectations. Still, all is not lost — if Sally from JDate hooks up with a Capra Guy (discussed below), there is hope yet.
I am the Muffin: If either partner sticks in Truffaut, David Lynch, Von Trier, Bertolucci, Malick or anyone else of their ilk, someone is already trying too hard to impress — if he/she is actually an intellectual heavyweight, there is no need to bother with Le Crime de Monsieur Lange unless he/she is out to prove something or he/she is an asshole movie critic (or film student) and, trust me, you don't want to go there. Roman Polanski, Jean-Luc Godard, foreign films, and documentaries might suggest a high level of intelligence, but they're not good third-date choices unless you're trying to scare away your Ashton Kutcher types or sleep with one of your grad students, who feign interest to procure an A in your class. Don't get me wrong: There is something to be said for a cerebral mate, but anyone who discusses auteur theories on a third date probably doesn't wash his or her hair very often and will likely end up trying to talk you into an "open relationship" at some point. If that's your bag, more power to you.
Now that I've Met You, Would You Object to Never Seeing Me Again?: Anything written or directed by Wes Anderson, Spike Jonze, David O. Russell, Paul Thomas Anderson, or Charlie Kaufman are risky propositions, with equal powers to alienate or ingratiate. Indeed, I would suggest that all of the above filmmakers provide an easy means to screen out potential mates. If you pop in Magnolia and your date is still curled up next to you after frogs have fallen from the sky, you've found your soul mate. If, however, your date fell asleep halfway through The Royal Tenenbaums, I'd suggest gnawing off your arm and making for the door before he/she wakes up hoping to watch a Tim Allen or Brittany Murphy flick.
Wow. Look at Me. I'm Not Even Listening to a Word You're Saying: If you spend your weekends in comic-book stores, playing D&D, or attending "Star Trek" conventions, let's just be honest, OK: You probably don't actually have a date. But let's say, by some unforeseen miracle, you're lucky enough — with some persistence — to trick Shelly in accounting into coming over to watch a few films with you so long as you promise to sit across the room. OK. First of all: Take a shower. Second, don't pull out the obvious. The Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies are only going to perpetuate the stereotype, and nine hours of hobbits isn't going to will your date into submission. If you must present that side of yourself, at least rent American Splendor or Ghost World, which suggest a certain amount of geeky self-awareness that can be attractive to the right gal. And listen. OK. Listen hard. Do not, under any circumstances, stick Crumb into your DVD player. That ain't cool, man. Not cool.
Neo-Maxie-Zoom-Dweebie: The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, or Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Awwwww. Your date is sick and you're taking care. That's sweet.
My mouth's bleeding, Burt! My mouth's bleeding!: There is a lot to be said for Frank Capra flicks — and you could do a helluva lot worse than a guy who presents It's a Wonderful Life or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on the third date (I'd argue that To Kill a Mockingbird also falls into this category). These films suggest a sweet, relatively intelligent guy with his head on his shoulders who works in middle management and will make a helluva Dad someday. But beyond that silver lining is a cloud that's about to burst wide open — this fella is a weeper, ladies, and that shoulder of yours is gonna get a lot of company in the near future. A Capra guy is thin-skinned as hell; and while a man who cries occasionally — when a child is born, while he's offering up his vows, or when the Red Sox win the World Series — makes an ideal husband or boyfriend, if he cries at the "beauty of it all," or every time Jeff Buckley comes on the goddamn radio, you've got yourself a Dickens character.
Well, color me happy! There's a sofa in here for two!: If she drags out anything starring Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, or Julia Roberts, and he counters with Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, or Will Ferrell — God bless the two of you, you'll be obliviously happy together for the rest of your lives and neither one of you will ever have to worry your pretty little head about what's playing at the local indie theater.
You Got to Go through a Lot of Sex to be Ready for Anti-Sex: If she inserts any of the following movies into the DVD player on a third date, you'd best beat a path to a well-lit public place, because you've got yourself a lady with some deep-seated anger-issues that probably have nothing to do with you: The First Wives Club, Fatal Attraction, I Shot Andy Warhol, Sleeping with the Enemy, Single White Female, Thelma and Louise, Kill Bill, or any other film in which the female protagonist wields a butcher knife. If you decide to stick around, however, do note that — if you can take it — the sex is going to blow your mind.
She's Either a Complete Wack Job or The Woman of Your Dreams: Annie Hall.
I'm Sorry, but I Take Little Pleasure in a Ball: If, on a third date, your girlfriend pulls out anything from Merchant Ivory Productions (Howard's End, The Remains of the Day), anything adapted from a Jane Austen novel, or almost any movie starring Colin Firth, there is probably nothing wrong with her. She's smart, independent, and literate. In fact, if she's hot enough, spare her feelings and try to stay awake for God's sake. If, on the other hand, you're a guy who actually finds yourself enjoying any of the aforementioned films, you might consider reexamining your heterosexuality and think twice before popping in The Blue Lagoon.
Shut Up and Deal: If you both show up carrying a copy of Billy Wilder's The Apartment, you'll never have to endure a third date again.
It's Not Personal, Sonny. It's Strictly Business: There is no sense in dragging out anything directed by Spielberg, Zemeckis, Coppola, Scorsese, Ron Howard, Hitchcock, or Tarantino — they've all made decent films, but even their best work is largely impersonal. They can make great sixth- or seventh-date films but, on a third date, these just don't push the relationship forward in any meaningful way. In dating terms, they're like a great Valentine's Cards without an inscription. It's tantamount to adding, "I like long walks with my dog on the beach," into your online personal ad — that may be true, but seriously, who cares?
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!: I know, it's obvious as hell, but if your boyfriend brings to his third date Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Rudy, The Natural, Miracle, Seabiscuit, Friday Night Lights, or even Rocky, he's probably well-intentioned enough, but a bit thick-headed. Personally, I'm a sucker for all of them, but they're not flicks I'm going to bring along to create an impression about myself. The message they send is clear: "I love you, honey. Just don't go into labor on football Sunday, all right?" Likewise, if your girlfriend offers up Bend it Like Beckham or really any of the above movies, she's delivering a strong response: "I don't care how much you love the fucking Yankees — our children are going to be Red Sox fans and, if you can't handle that, you'd best look elsewhere."
It's Cold … So Cold: Here's a tip for you, guys. If she pulls out Titanic, Legends of the Fall, Edward Scissorhands or The Notebook, she may fall madly in love with you but, in the end, let's just be honest: you'd be of more use to her dead than alive. She wants a great love story, a passionate romance, and then she wants you to keel over prematurely so she can spend the rest of her days wrapped in Kleenex, reminiscing about the greatest love she's ever known while reading Mary Higgins Clark novels. If you stick around, though, I'd suggest not going off to war or taking any long boat trips. That's all I'm saying.
What's the Point? They're All the Same: Some Stupid Killer Stalking Some Big-Breasted Girl Who Can't Act Who is Always Running Up the Stairs When She Should be Running Out the Front Door: If, on a third date, a guy pops in any horror movie (except maybe Donnie Darko), he only wants to get into your skivvies. Horror movies say absolutely nothing about a man's personality, except that he hopes he can scare the bejesus out of you so he can stay the night and "protect" you from Freddy, Jason, or the Blair Witch. It's stupid. It's insulting. And it wrecks the entire third-date premise. It also implies that you're dating a dumbass who'd presume that you're not only easily frightened but willing to put out under the threat of an axe-murderer barging into your house at any moment.
I am a Golden God! Since you've indulged me so far, allow me to introduce my personal recommendation. First off, if you're me, and she shows up with Harold and Maude, you're probably going to end up happily married someday, but you're going to have to endure a whole helluva lot of Cat Stevens before the man calls you upstairs to tend to the clouds. And while I might counter with one of the Cusack flicks above, if I see true long-term viability to the relationship, there is no better third-date film than Almost Famous. It's got it all, y'all. It's a slightly tipsy, 2 a.m.-phone-call kind of movie that introduces the best musical moment in cinematic history, the "Tiny Dancer" bus scene that will buckle your knees, make the hair on your arms salute the gods, and then detonate inside you. Indeed, Almost Famous is the closest you can get to swapping LPs on the tabletop, presenting "River," "America," "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters," "The Wind," Alvin and the Chipmunks for novelty value, a Skynyrd song that'll make you forget all about "Freebird," and a Nancy Wilson score that strikes just the right chord to break your heart. Almost Famous harkens back to a time when music offered salvation instead of an insipid avenue to that faux-hipster vibe and, if you can't find some sort of romantic symbiosis when Phillip Seymour Hoffmann pronounces that "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you're uncool," then you don't belong together. Hell, you may as well go back to watching There's Something About Mary with your roommate and discussing the secrets to crushing Schlitz cans into your forehead, because that's where you're going to be until you find a woman that not only loves Miss Congeniality but has an unironic fondness for Weekend at Bernie's.
So there you have it. By no means are the aforementioned films meant to be exhaustive of third-date possibilities (others might include Garden State, L.A. Story, The Philadelphia Story, Jeffrey, To Wong Foo, et al.), and I'm all but certain that I've missed out on a few of the personality-types suggested by movie choices — but then again, that's what you folks are for — to remind us of our shortcomings. If you've got a bone to pick, or you want to sound off on the defining movie of your relationship, use the comments section below.

The Braves play the Nationals today in a rare Friday afternoon game. Unless my memory is starting to soften, I can't ever remember the Braves playing a regularly scheduled tilt on a Friday afternoon. Can you?
Half the Braves fan base probably won't realize the game was played in the afternoon until they sit down with their favorite beverage after dinner and turn on the TV to watch a game that is long over.
I've been going back and forth trying to decide if this is a "key" series against the Nationals. Win or lose there will be 156 games left in the season unless a game or games are postponed due to inclement weather, earthquake, or problems with the Obamacare website. So it really isn't a "key" series unless the Braves win or lose all three.
Lose all three and fall four games behind the Nationals with 2-3 more weeks before Minor and Floyd return to the starting rotation would not be a good thing.
Make sure you set aside time Saturday night to watch Julio Teheran square off against Nationals ace, Stephen Strasburg, at 7 p.m. ET. There's gonna be more K's than a Mike Krzyzewski family reunion.
The Braves home opener is Tuesday and I don't like having that event after the season has gone on for over a week. It is like arriving at a New Year's Eve party at 1:30 in the morning. Nonetheless, make sure you get your tickets for the game, this is your first opportunity to see the Braves collection of new millionaires in person.
Have a great Friday and don't forget to pick up your parting gifts on the way out.

Plane gravitational waves are here defined to be non-flat solutions of Einstein's empty space-time field equations which admit as much symmetry as do plane electromagnetic waves, namely, a 5-parameter group of motions. A general plane-wave metric is written down and the properties of plane wave space-times are studied in detail. In particular, their characterization as 'plane' is justified further by the construction of 'sandwich waves' bounded on both sides by (null) hyperplanes in flat space-time. It is shown that the passing of a sandwich wave produces a relative acceleration in free test particles, and inferred from this that such waves transport energy.

76 King Street Chappaqua, NY 10514 (Map) (914) 238-9600 http://kingstreetrestaurantandbar.com/
The WBC winds down 2012 by breaking its recent diner streak with a visit to the realtively new King Street Restaurant & Bar in Chappaqua.
Attendees: Shelley, Sylvia, Jeff
Finally, not a diner! I mean, don't get me wrong. Diners are fine, diners are affordable, diners are usually reliable. But it was definitely time for something different. And King Street Restaurant & Bar fit the bill.
The restaurant sits on a corner of King Street in Chappaqua. I remember a different restaurant being in that location, and my memory was confirmed when I asked the waitress and she said that the restaurant's been open for only about a year. The interior is cozy and, as seems to be the thing to do at many new restaurants, the colorscheme was neutral and centered around dark wood tones.
Glancing at the weekend brunch menu, I was impressed. The restaurant offered many choices, including some unique sounding dishes (like Sylvia's smoked salmon and chive waffle) along with more standard fare (like my selection of two eggs any style).
My style of choice for eggs is, of course, scrambled. We also decided to get the red velvet waffles to share. Since it was a cold winter morning and my nose was not happy with me, I ordered green tea to wash down my meal.
When our beverages came out, the WBC engaged in a lengthy debate about the square mugs. What's the best way to drink from a square mug? Will you dribble your hot beverage if you try to drink from the flat side? Should you drink from the corner? But that's awkward… Eventually, us being the brave breakfast adventurers that we are, we just dived in and discovered, lo and behold, you can drink from the flat edge of a square mug without dribbling your hot drink on yourself. We're so skilled.
After a reasonable wait time our meals arrived, and visually everything looked great. The presentation was clean and plentiful. My two scrambled eggs seemed very generous for just two eggs. They must have the really large eggs; or, since there weren't alot of patrons in this morning, maybe they snuck in a third egg. The home fries were nicely cubed potatoes mixed with slices of roasted red pepper, and there was no grease shine. I chose sausage as my accompanying breakfast meat (it's bacon or sausage), and the three links were thin but appetizing-looking (they thankfully were not just the microwave type of sausage links). It only occurred to me in looking at the menu online afterward as I write this post that my meal was also supposed to come with toast; I got no toast. I wound up not needing the extra carb since we shared the waffle, but it is a noteworthy omission, especially since no explantion was given. They just plain ol' forgot the toast.
The eggs were well-cooked, well-seasoned, and nicely fluffy. The sausage had a nice subtle spice to it, but I'm pretty sure it was pork sausage, with the flavor being very reminiscent of the filling in a pork wonton or dumpling.
The red velvet waffle looked nice. It thankfully was a very subtle red, not the bright, electric (and I think highly unhealthy) red that you see in many red velvet concoctions (the result of using a whole bottle of red food coloring). This waffle went the more natural route to achive its red velvet status. It was topped with a generous portion of fresh strawberries and blueberries, and, of course, a dollup of fresh whipped cream. The waffle was tasty, although a bit gummy. And I have a brief commentary on the current red velvet trend. I've noticed that many establishments want to feature some sort of red velvet item on their menu, I think to stay on-trend. But really, in this particular case, there was no need to deem this a red velvet waffle, other than to be a bit gimicky. I think it would have been more natural to just call it a cocoa waffle or, hey, just go for a chocolate waffle. I'm glad we tried the waffle, but I think I'm getting tired of seeing red velvet this and red velvet that on so many menus.
Finally, to round out the meal (I had to get something to go with my second cup of tea), I shared the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake with Sylvia. It was a perfect portion, a delicate round serving rather than a slice. Big points for presentation: the plate had a dollup of caramel sauce at each corner, a generous drizzling of some berry sauce on the bottom, and delicate chocolate pieces stuck into the topping of chantilly cream. It was delicious, quite refreshing, and had a perfect balance between all the pumpkin spices. The cheesecake was creamy without being clumpy and the graham cracker crust on the bottom was buttery enough to hold together but still crumbly enough like a good graham cracker crust should be. My only note is that the $7.95 price tag is too steep given the smaller portion of this dessert (all desserts are $7.95). I would recommend that the restaurant price its desserts individually.
Overall I enjoyed my meal at King Street Restaurant & Bar. The overall price tag was reasonable (about $9 for my egg dish, $2.50 for the tea–and none of us got charged for our beverage refills) and the atmosphere was nice. The experience felt upscale without upscale prices. Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Food quality was high. This is a good addition to the Chappaqua area and a place I'd like to return to for brunch. It particularly seems a good destination for a holiday or special occasion meal with family that won't break the bank.
Here's a little back story with how we ended up here on this sunny post-snowstorm Sunday. In an attempt to try to find a place for us to brunch at that was somewhat near Pleasantville, I turned to google maps. After moving about the area, I found a little icon in Chappaqua of a restaurant that was new to me. A little more searching on google, a brunch menu was found, and the words "Red Velvet Waffle" sealed the deal.
The King Street Restaurant & Bar is a cozy little restaurant warmly decorated with dark wood tones. It's on the end of King Street by Susan Lawrence. You know a brunch menu is good when we had to shoo our waitress away twice before we had finally decided what to order.
As we were deciding, we noshed on some yummy warm cranberry and walnut rolls.
I had a Smoked Salmon and Chive Waffle, which was served with two poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce, and a Caesar salad. The meal was very good. The waffle had bits of smoked salmon and just a hint of chive. It was half a waffle and on top perched two perfectly poached eggs covered in a very tasty hollandaise sauce. The combination of all three was delightful.
The Caesar salad complemented the heavier waffle and egg half of the dish well. Well-dressed with fresh croutons and a generous amount of shaved Parmesan on top.
We all shared the Red Velvet Waffle. It was good. I don't know if I would have been happy with it as a meal, but it wasn't bright food color red and had a subtle chocolate flavor to it which was a plus. The berries on top were fresh and sweet.
Shelley and I also split a pumpkin spice cheescake. There was a bit too much chantilly cream on top, but otherwise it was a good choice. It was more like pumpkin pie custard in weight and texture than a cheesecake, but it was delicious nonetheless.
The czar says: A surprising find and a good meal to break the diner streak the WBC has been on lately. The restaurant seems child-friendly based on the large family seated at the table near us. The place has apparently only been open for about a year. If I still worked in town, it would be a nice place to escape to for a nice leisurely celebratory kind of lunch (still a bit pricey for regular lunch…but that is Chappaqua). I'm glad they are on google maps, otherwise, we would have missed out!
It's been a while since the WBC has gone to Chappaqua. In fact, it's been about 3 years. This isn't to say the WBC is fearful of Chappaqua excursions. We just never had a reason to go, until now!
According to the server, King Street Restaurant & Bar has only been around since last February. Lucky for the WBC, they serve breakfast, or brunch. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is. Is it only brunch if lunch is also served at the same time? Or maybe it's brunch if it's served on Saturday and Sunday? Either way, it's a good reason to go back to Chappaqua.
It's a nice restaurant. Coffee is served in strange squareish cups. I think the best, and most fun, method of drinking is to choose a corner and drink from there. The menu has a large selection, everything from just plain eggs to pancakes. I settled on the stuffed French toast with berries and maple syrup. What I didn't expect was to have a fruity cream smear on the inside. It was delicious. The whole meal was very filling.

Effective November 1, 2012, TRICARE terminated Licensed Clinical Psychotherapists (LCPs) from TRICARE's provider network because it was determined that LCPs do not meet the new eligibility requirements which were implemented by TRICARE Management Authority (TMA) earlier this year. TRICARE is the health care program serving veterans and military dependents.
This decision appears arbitrary as LCPs carry equivalent state licenses to other therapists who were retained as TRICARE eligible providers. LCPs are fully licensed for independent practice by the state of Kansas, are fully credentialed as Qualified Mental Health Professionals and have been serving veterans and military dependents as TRICARE providers for years. This action reduces by seven (18%) the number of therapists at Pawnee Mental Health Services (Pawnee) who are eligible to serve veterans and military dependents in the Ft. Riley area.
This is a very important matter to Pawnee, the licensed community mental health center serving ten counties in north central Kansas. Because of Pawnee's proximity to Ft. Riley, Pawnee provides services to many veterans and military dependents. Pawnee has been working with TRICARE to seek an exception that would allow these veterans and military dependents to continue to see their therapists. After weeks of unsuccessful efforts, Pawnee has accepted the fact that there is nothing more that can be done besides educate the public and appeal to decision makers. Nearly 100 veterans and/or military dependents in treatment at Pawnee have been informed that they will no longer be allowed to work with their current therapists.
This is a travesty. It is unconscionable that TRICARE policies would restrict access to services for our veterans and military dependents by reducing the provider network, especially at a time when so much has been publicly said about our country's commitment to the mental health of our armed forces. How can TRICARE move to limit the provider network at the same time that the U.S. Senate Veterans Affairs Committee voted to move forward with S. 3340, the Mental Health Access to Care Act, which is designed to provide veterans with access to consistent, quality behavioral health care? While the reduction of the provider network should be a national concern, it is especially concerning for veterans and military dependents who live in Kansas, where a wide variety of Qualified Mental Health Professionals must be employed to meet the demand for services.
Pawnee is proud and honored to serve our veterans and military dependents. We regret that the new requirements of TMA compel us to disrupt the treatment services of so many at this time. Please contact your U.S. Senator and Representative if you are concerned about preserving access to mental health services for our veterans and military dependents.

A death threat against the east Belfast MP Naomi Long marked a serious escalation in tensions after arson attacks on offices used by her non-sectarian Alliance Party.
Even though Unionist Party leaders, including the Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, called for a suspension of planned protests until the new year, security chiefs are gearing up for sporadic outbreaks of new violence, especially in the greater Belfast area.
Loyalists have targeted the Alliance Party after blaming them for backing the nationalist SDLP and Sinn Fein to push through a vote to limit the flying of the flag to designated days.
Mrs Clinton who met Mr Robinson and the deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness at Stormont Castle before returning to America at the end of a brief European tour, said the threat on Ms Long's life was absolutely unacceptable.
Mrs Clinton said: "There will always be disagreement in democratic societies, but violence is never an acceptable response to those disagreements. All parties need to confront the remaining challenge of sectarian divisions, peacefully together."
With loyalists threatening another protest in Belfast on Saturday - expected to be the busiest shopping day so far this year - Mrs Clinton said: "People have strong feelings, but you must not use violence as a means of expressing those strong feelings.
"The only path forward is a peaceful democratic one. There can be no place in the new Northern Ireland for any violence. The remnants of the past need to be quickly, unequivocally condemned. Democracy requires dialogue, compromise and constant commitment by everyone to protect the rights of everyone."
Belfast City Hall is now one of many civic buildings across Northern Ireland, including Parliament Buildings, Stormont, where the flying of the flag is limited to designated dates, such as the Queen's Birthday.
Mr Robinson, who claimed the City Hall vote was divisive and provocative, revealed that his Democratic Unionist Party had submitted a motion in a bid to begin a process to extend the number of days the flag is hoisted at Stormont.

handwashing - fels naptha vs zote?
I've been using fels naptha to hand wash clothing. Mostly because that's the way my Great Aunt taught me I noticed the walmart near my new home is carrying zote. How does it compare? It seems to be a bigger bar for the same price, but it felt softer which makes me think it wouldn't necessarily last any longer.

I don't handwash with Zote and have never used Fels Naptha but I do use Zote in my h.m. laundry soap. I like the smell and it works fine. No idea how it would last to handwash with though.10-24-2008, 10:33 AM #3
I use the fels in my laundry soap. It is a hard soap. I notice that the recipes all call for the fels first and then the zote. Zote here is cheaper than the fels.
I think the zote may have more air or softeners and the fels in more 'pure' type soap.
Now, this is what I THINK and not what I KNOW.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements10-24-2008, 04:45 PM #4

Interesting. I've never heard of anyone handwashing with castile soup. Thanks for the link!10-24-2008, 08:36 PM #5
I hesitate to use anything like body soap in my wash. I have an HE washer and I need no suds soap.
It does seem funny that you can't use fels on the hands when it is a bar used for the treatment of poison ivy and oak.
Dr Bronners--man I love the peppermint...has essential oils in it and I worry about the effects of adding it to clothes fabrics. I know after a while it makes my drains run slow so I stopped using it on us and just use it to wash the dogs and pedicures.10-24-2008, 11:52 PM #6
My mom buys the almond(in the orange label) dr bronners and when I bath her dog I want almond ameretto cookies soooo bad lol!
You can buy it in the bar and it doesn't cost as much.
My take is that Ivory is a BODY bath bar and Fels and zote are laundry bars.
Since the OP is asking about hand washing laundry I think the fels is probably better than Zote because it is first choice for all the recipes.
Like I said, I have NOTHING to back that up with LOL!(well except somthing like 30 bars of fels in my stockpile!)
