Future of Ice Skating Uncertain At Pittsfield Common
Firefighters have volunteered to create an ice rink at the Common, bringing skating back for the first time in five years.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The longtime tradition of ice skating at the Common is returning this winter after a five-year hiatus, but it is undecided whether that will continue as the park enters the next phases of redevelopment.
An effort currently under way to ice over the field arose out of a request by a group of local firefighters who are doing the project on their own time. The group opened the hydrants late last week to begin pumping in the large volume needed to fill the 150-foot field with water up to 3 feet deep in places
"We gave them the go ahead, we thought it was a perfect initiative," said James McGrath, the city's parks and open spaces manager. "Unfortunately, the weather's not really cooperating, but as I understand they're going to try to get out there and really finish the job should the weather hold for us."
Frigid temperatures expected beginning early next week should help set the rink.
The City Council voted Tuesday to accept a recently awarded $400,000 grant for the next of four phases in the redevelopment plan for the First Street park.
Phase 2 will be addressing a lot of work to the foundation of the park, including grading, drainage and electrical conduits that will set the infrastructure for the final two stages, as well as redoing the pathways and all lighting. Construction will begin in July, with the playground side of the park remaining open throughout the work period.
Ward 7 Councilor Anthony Simonelli inquired about whether the current effort to have a rink will be the last, as the reconstruction continues.
"It was my understanding that the skating rink was not going to be part of the project in its entirety when its completed," Simonelli asked McGrath. "Is this a one year thing, of the skating rink?"
McGrath confirmed that the master plan for the park did not include a formal ice rink. "There was some concern about the damage that a rink might cause to the turf in the great lawn area."
McGrath said that while the city had a detailed plan of what is intended to come out of the next phases of the park redevelopment, it will still be putting it back before the public for additional input before future phases are undertaken.
"If there's real momentum, and folks really want to see an ice rink or the ability to site an ice rink out there, we want to explore that, thoroughly," he said. "It's not off the table, but it's something that we want to look more closely at."
"I'm glad we're going to revisit this conversation," said Councilor Melissa Mazzeo.
"If its really determined that we won't be siting a rink at all in the future at the Common, I think it's incumbent on the city, and certainly the Parks Commission and the staff of the Community Development office to figure out how we're going to provide winter ice for this community," McGrath told the council. "We really need to get serious about that once and for all."

Table alignment use of align attribute
|Reported by:

|CKEditor 3.0
|IBM Confirmed
The table plugin uses the align attribute to align a table horizontally on the page. Unfortunately in some browsers (e.g. FF) this setting is overridden if CSS margins are set on the table. This is especially problematic when "center" alignment is desired.
The align attribute is also deprecated. So, a better way to set the alignment of the editor should be used.

Horizontal alignment relays on margins of centered element, so even when we change table[align=center] to more proper way which is
div[style="text-align: center"] > table[style="margins: auto"]
Then changing table's margins will also destroy the effect. Although if we will set margin values as inline, they wont be possible to change using stylesheets, which may be the point.
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by fredck
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from assigned to closed
The things to consider here is that we should use the only the <table> element to perform the alignment. We should not rely on other elements to achieve it (the outer div), because it's most likely that the user will be able to include other content inside that div, having undesired results. Note that we're in a dynamic environment here, so the solutions used on static pages don't fit us in all cases.
The only other way to table alignment is by using <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">. But, it's well known that this is not compatible with all browsers.
So, we need to be practical here, sticking with the generic solution that works in all cases: the align attribute. We have been using it for years, and I can't recall any complain about it, so it looks like it's a stable solution.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop and commercialize an imaging sensor capable of rapid, non?]intrusive, spatially?]resolved measurement of temperature, and concentration of chemical species in combustion systems. This imaging sensor system incorporates diode lasers, a high?]sensitivity measurement technique based on absorption spectroscopy, and data analysis routines to provide an unprecedented combination of high?]temporal and high?]spatial resolution, and multi?]dimensional data. In many applications, information about the spatial and temporal variation of the properties is critical. Examples include the monitoring and control of industrial combustors and furnaces, where information about the location of the ?ghot spots?h is highly desired; and the monitoring of indoor air pollutants, where information about the location and diffusion properties of the contamination sources is critical. The technical goal is a laboratory scale demonstration of the imaging sensor providing spatial distribution of flow properties. The broader impacts of this research are that specific markets relevant to this work include both military and commercial jet engine manufacturers, manufacturers of industrial combustors/burners for power generation and heat processing, manufacturers of environmental sensors, the academic research community, and government research laboratories and flight test programs. The initial target application of the proposed imaging sensor is in the energy and environmental sectors which include the monitoring and control of combustion systems to reduce pollutant emissions, improve indoor/outdoor air quality, and maximize fuel efficiency.

Blog Post
The latest iPhone jailbreak, will it work?
The latest iPhone jailbreak is designed for the IOS5 iPhone operating system. This is the infamous jailbreak that the Apple Corporation supposedly developed a patch for all of their servers so that the jailbreak system known as Sam would no longer be operable and initially the day Apple made the announcement that jail breaking iPhone of any type that was not already broken, would now be impossible. People experience problems when it came to jail breaking their iPhone's. However, the day after the announcement, people will once again be able to jailbreak the latest and greatest version of the iPhone thus forcing the Apple Corporation to eat their words. Although some people claim that it is impossible still to jailbreak the latest version of the iPhone, what the iPhone user has to do is spend a few minutes on Google and they will see that this claim is entirely unfounded.
The latest iPhone jailbreak software is not completely un-tethered. Meaning that the user no longer has to worry about rebooting, the software every time the batteries need to recharge. Or they have to turn off the phone. The software is as always, developed by www.unlockiphoneios5.com and is extremely user-friendly, with easy-to-follow instructions that can be handled in three steps, most will take 15 minutes to download. Once that is complete, the user is free to once again rampage throughout the in search of tantalizing information and the all-important new app that no one else has. The user can also readjust the controls and feel of the way the device functions to suit their individual tastes. Need your mood, and as always, went to jail breaking procedure is complete, the Apple product once again becomes a universal carrier that will allow the user to use any service they deem necessary and download all their content from any source.
Regardless of proprietary measures taken by the corporations once again releasing technology from the repressing chains of corporate standards releasing it to the masses, so that they may do with it what they will. Seeing what society will do with an interesting new piece of technology is what keeps life interesting. Man's innate nature to figure out how everything works firsthand and through experience is what forces us to evolve. Things like jailbreak programs; because we are never satisfied with the way things are if Christopher Columbus would have had an iPhone. It is almost certain that he would've applied some latest iPhone jailbreak software just to see exactly how much and what he could make it do.
Man will continue to explore and sculpt and mold technology to suit our own means until the end of time at which point we will have no use to manipulate technology, because we will be too busy exploring the universe, and trying to jailbreak. It is just to see what happens and satisfy our innate curiosity. For now, however, society shall have to be content with the latest iPhone jailbreak version of the iPhone IOS five operating system.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu - Cheap & Reliable - Good Car
1998 Chevrolet Malibu
3.1 v6 - auto tranny
160k Miles on Body
Motor rebuilt and has 60k
Transmission rebuilt and has 80k
Power Windows
Power Locks
Power Steering
Cloth Interior
Pioneer CD Player
I have a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu forsale. The title says it all it is cheap, really reliable, gets great gas mileage, and it runs and drives good. It has several new parts and needs very little. This car was owned by my brother and his girlfriend for several years. It was her car and was driven daily back forth to Battle Creek (60 miles) for a number of years. I bought the car from them last winter and used it as a winter beater and commuter for work . The car runs great and starts every time. The interior is decent for the year. The body is in decent shape, some minor rust (bottom of doors from paint chipping here and there) and minor damage (dent & scrape on pass rear door) but overall not bad for a 98. There has been some body work done to take care of rust (on rear quarters) and was sprayed with sealer primer and hasnt been painted. Looks better than rust imo. Mainly it runs, it drives, and will surely get you where you need to go for many years to come if you take care of it!
Many new parts including the following:
Battery, Tires, Front Brakes, Shocks/Struts, Tune up (plugs/wires), water pump, fuel pump, intake gaskets, exhaust and more. Along with the transmission being replaced at 80k miles and the motor was rebuilt at 104k miles. The car does need a little work currently and I will be fixing it in the next few weeks and the price will go up. The car needs a new passenger rear spring - loaded strut ($80), passenger rear tire, and a new heat/ac control switch (junk yard $20). So less than $200. Can be driven as is (but needs spring/strut before daily driven)
All and all it is a great car needs some minor work. But for the money you cant beat a nice reliable car that gets great fuel economy! Has sat for a few months - intended on fixing it and driving it this winter but decided I didnt want to. So looking to sell. Would make for an excellent first car, spare car, winter beater, or daily driver!!! This does great in Michigans harsh winters!
Asking $1700 Cash as-is. Would like it gone soon - but I do NOT have to sell - so Please no tire kickers or low ballers.
Kelly Blue Book Value is:
Excellent $3,265
Good $2,965
Fair $2,640 - which I believe my car body wise is in fair condition - but runs like a top!
Serious inquires only please! Please no tire kickers or bullshitters. No I will not take $1000 for the car. No I will not take payments. Sorry seems like a lot of jokers out there looking for a hand-out. If you are serious with cash in hand give me a call.

Commentary: Job No. 1 for Obama - compromise
The latest presidential message is that he is not concerned about the nation's capital but about moving the country forward on the strength of its grass roots. Barack Obama is expecting to set an agenda to do that and then use executive orders and the bully pulpit to accomplish it.
What's new about that?
This is a president who always has been more comfortable campaigning than pursuing the nitty-gritty of Washington politics in achieving his goals. As a consequence, he seems to have failed to develop the skills necessary to accomplish great things (with the exception of the Affordable Care Act) in a divided Congress. More time spent learning the art of political compromise and manipulation, as coarse a word as that may seem, would have served him well.
Now Barack Obama obviously faces severe challenges at a time when his overall approval with Americans is at its lowest, leaving him to face a coming midterm election that could end the congressional division in favor of the Republicans. That would, of course, make his last two years in office miserably benign with his only hope for historic redemption the things he has set in motion for a successor to accomplish like immigration reform, the end of two wars, health care reform and a better economy.
The dilemma he finds himself in, for instance, is trying to satisfy the left of his own Democratic Party and the right of the GOP at a time when moderate Republican leaders like House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio have indicated a willingness to tear up the party's "just say no" polices of the last five years and present him with opportunities for compromise. The first of these would be immigration. To his credit, the president has said he is willing to soften his own demands and move forward.
Another would be a positive decision on the highly controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Canada through the center of the nation to the Gulf Coast. The project, which Republican proponents claim is of great benefit to America's domestic oil needs, has been solidly opposed by conservationists and the Democratic Party left as potentially environmentally disastrous.
But the State Department last week released a report finding that the pipeline would not "significantly exacerbate" climate change through greenhouse emissions, giving Obama a perfect chance to approve the plan and show he is eager for some bipartisan accommodations.
The pipeline would carry 830,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Alberta, and Obama said last summer that he would favor the project if it did not further worsen the climate. Another factor Obama must consider is that if the pipeline is not approved, the oil will be loaded into railroad tankers for transportation, a potentially dangerous method since rail lines run through urban areas. On at least three occasions recently there have been derailments that caused oil spills, including one recent fire.
Yet the president seems still reluctant contending he wants to have more investigation by other Cabinet members and agency heads — leaving his critics to logically conclude he wants to study the matter to death and to put Secretary of State John Kerry between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
One of the initiatives the president's men have emphasized in his determination to bypass the Congress through executive action is expanding broadband service to 20 million American students in 15,000 schools over the next two years. The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it will double from $1 billion to $2 billion the amount it spends on adding high-speed Internet connections in schools and libraries. The money will come from restructuring the $2.4 billion E-rate program for advanced telecommunications and information services. The program is supported by fees paid by telecommunications users.
How much time the president spends campaigning for individual Democrat candidates over the next nine months until the November elections is problematic. Clearly his lower poll ratings have made him less desirable on the stump. On the other hand he clearly expects to be taking his agenda to the people and advocating for party candidates is routinely a part of that.
The president's State of the Union pledge to spend less time warring with Congress and more with assuring Americans that he will move forward is hardly news. It's been that way since he was first elected in 2008 and it hasn't worked terribly well.

An MRI revealed that Pittsburgh Steelers QB Byron Leftwich suffered a torn MCL in his left knee on Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and ESPN reported.
Leftwich was injured in a 19-3 preseason finale win against the Panthers, which clouded the already uncertain quarterback situation the Steelers faced. Leftwich was a contender to replace Ben Roethlisberger during his suspension to start the season.
BEN ROETHLISBERGER: NFL reduces ban to four games
With him out, third-year player Dennis Dixon and veteran Charlie Batch are left atop the team's depth chart. Coach Mike Tomlin has not indicated who will start the regular-season opener in Week 1.
Leftwich could miss several weeks, which could coincide with the time Roethlisberger misses on suspension.
The Steelers also have veteran WR Antwaan Randle El on the roster. A former college QB, he could serve as an third/emergency option behind Batch and Dixon.

Natural Gas Rig Count, Prices and Preview
US Nat Gas Sentiment is Changing, the bias looks Bullish
The US Nat Gas market is acting like a market that will not collapse like last winter.
The signs are signaling a market that is looking higher, not lower. The injection season has been a huge surprise this year with the majority of the weekly injections under performing both last year and the 5 yr average.
The surplus of Nat Gas in inventory peaked vs the same period last year and the 5 yr average in at the end of March when there was about 890 BCF more in inventory than the previous year and about 935 BCF more than the 5 yr average. Since peaking the surplus has steadily declined throughout the inventory building season.
The latest inventory report says the surplus declined by 651 BCF or 73% since peaking in the last week of March and 665 BCF or 71% vs the 5 yr average for the same period.
This is a significant turnaround and one many analysts did not foresee in Q-1 of Y 2012. The combo of an above average level of Coal to Nat Gas switching due to very low Nat Gas prices at the end of the Winter, a very early start to a very Hot Summer period resulting in an increase in Nat Gas for cooling related power generation demand plus a slow, steady reduction in the number drilling rigs deployed to the Nat Gas sector, rigs deployed to Nat Gas are now at a 13 yr low.
Nat Gas inventories will end the season at a new record high the level will be less than 2% above last year.
Baker-Hughes (NYSE:BHI) US Rig Count
US Rig Count: Baker Hughes reported that the number of Nat Gas rigs fell -15 units to 437 in the week ended 12 October. Oil rigs increased +13 units to 1 411 and miscellaneous rigs stayed unchanged at 2 units and the total number of rigs slid -2 units to 1 835. Directionally oriented combined Oil, Gas, and Miscellaneous rigs stayed at 194 units while horizontal rigs decreased -20 units to 1 112 and vertical rigs rose +18 units to 529 during the week.
With a normal Winter forecast and supply not on the rise it is likely that the price of Nat Gas will settle into a much higher trading range than last Winter and Spring.
That being the case I expect the futures market to trade in a wide range of about 3 to 3.20/mmbtu on the low side to even as high as 4 to 4.25/mmbtu on the high side if the Winter weather comes in as forecast.
The forecasted range for the Winter season is based on the current weather forecasts calling for an overall Winter season that will be about 20% colder than last year and only about 2% warmer than the 30 yr average, aka Normal.
Cash markets across the US firmed last week on a strong upside movement in the futures market. Nat Gas futures put in a strong performance last week after falling the previous week.
The Nov Nat Gas futures contract increased by 6.33% or $0.0215/mmbtu on the week and has now breached another Key technical resistance level with the next area of resistance around the 3.70/mmbtu level.
Along with a steady increase in both the cash and futures market last week the latest CFTC Commitment of Traders Report showed that the speculator community raised their net Long positions in the 4 major markets on Nymex and ICE by 13,119 contracts to a total net long position of 151,942 contracts.
The sentiment is biased to the Bullish side IMO.

Repair teeth missing, broken and chipped teeth
Richwood Porcelain Crowns and Bridges by Dr Rick L. Kline and Associates
Porcelain bridges and crowns repair damaged teeth and replace missing teeth. Do you live in Richwood? Are your teeth stained, crooked, or chipped? Do your teeth have unsightly gaps between them? Are you missing teeth and considering a complete "Smile Makeover"?

- filling unsightly gaps and spaces between your teeth,
- repairing small cracks and chips in your teeth,
- and whitening teeth that have severe discoloration or dullness.

What Is a Porcelain Crown?
A crown is an all-porcelain; permanent restoration that repairs broken, or badly damaged teeth. It differs from a veneer in that it covers more tooth structure, such as when severe decay has set in. Crowns are also used as an anchor for permanent bridges to replace missing teeth. All-porcelain crowns are natural-looking in appearance, strong, non-staining, and included in Our Last Time you Pay policy.
The Porcelain Crown Procedure
Porcelain crowns are completed in two visits. The first visit requires preparing the teeth for the final porcelain restorations. Temporaries will be placed while your case is crafted by a master ceramist. At the second visit, your case is seated, and you leave with a beautiful, brand new smile! This procedure can be done in as little as 48 hours!
What is a Porcelain Bridge?
Porcelain bridges literally "bridge the gap" between one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of:
- two crowns, one for each of the teeth on either side of the gap,
- and a false tooth/teeth in-between your two natural teeth or dental implants.
These false teeth are made from porcelain and are supported by your natural teeth (or implants).
The Porcelain Bridge Procedure
The dentist will begin your dental bridge work by filing down the adjacent teeth to accommodate the crowns. Then, the dentist will take impressions of the teeth, which will be used to create the porcelain crowns.
Once the crowns are finished (crowns are made from all-ceramic materials), the false tooth (teeth) will be bonded to them. When the porcelain bridge is ready, a return visit to the dentist will be necessary to place it on the teeth. During your final visit, the dentist securely cements the crowns over the surrounding teeth to complete your smile with the dental bridge. With proper care, dental bridges will last five to seven years and, in some cases, longer.
What are the Costs of Porcelain Crowns & Bridges?
Smile Texas offers top value in porcelain crowns & bridges. Our porcelain crowns and bridges prices are affordable and our affordable financing options that make it easy to get the smile of your dreams right away!

Mayhem # 2132401
About MeMy Name is Aryn, I am currently studying Graphic Design at New Mexico State University. I Love and appreciate art in all of its forms and many of them are either my hobbies and/or passions. I have been an aspiring model since 2005 when I signed with Metcalf Agencies in Salt Lake City, UT. Aside from modeling, makeup is something that i really love to play with and I think I am quite successful at it. I hope to gain networks and new ideas from Model Mayhem and put my name and skills out in the industry to hopefully get some recognition from other photographers, models, companies, etc.

Detailed Description:
The study is to allow for identification of patients with hypertension, in whom an early introduction of pharmacological treatment of heart failure HF should be considered. Evaluation in the detection of asymptomatic myocardial dysfunction will include potential heart failure markers such as: cardiotrophin 1, cystatin C, serum syndecan-4, collagen III N-terminal propeptide [PIIINP], NT-proBNP, IL1RL1 and modern echocardiography methods in order to increase the effectiveness of prevention, diagnosis and treatment optimalization.
Material and study plan about 100 persons (age 30-70 years old) will be included in the study, patients with stage I or II primary hypertension according to the European Society of Hypertension: Group A- 15 patients without symptoms of heart failure Group B- 30 patients with exertional dyspnoea Group C - 40 patients with overt heart failure
In group B (patients with exertional dyspnea/stenocardia) we will include only patients who have undergone CT coronary angiography without any identified changes in the epicardial coronary arteries, which will facilitate answering the presented purpose of research. Patients in groups A and B with normal resting echocardiography and treated with a maximum of 2 antihypertensive drugs (an ACE inhibitor or a sartan as therapy base), according to the following regimen:
ACEI/ARB + diuretic ACEI/ARB + calcium channel antagonist Group C - treatment in accordance with the standards for heart failure. Each patient will be informed about the objectives of the study and give written consent to participate.

US Real Estate Forclosures
The latest data from Core Logic shows that 55,000 homes were repossessed in during November, a 23% decrease on last year's 72,000, and down 6% compared to October when 59,000 homes were repossessed according to the report. While this reduction is very welcome, especially against the backdrop of growing positivity in the market, the number of foreclosures is still much higher than it was before the crisis; foreclosures averaged just 21,000 per month between 2000 and 2006.
Completed foreclosures are an indication of the total number of homes actually lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, there have been approximately 4 million completed foreclosures across the country.
As of November 3% of all homes in the US were in some stage of the foreclosure process, which is known as the foreclosure inventory. This is down from 3.5% last November. Indeed the national foreclosure inventory fell by 3.5% between October and November, and by 18% during the year ending November. "The continued fall in completed foreclosures is a positive supply-side contribution in many regions of the U.S.," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "We still have a long way to go to return to historic norms, but this trend is firmly in the right direction." "The pace of completed foreclosures has significantly improved over a year ago as short sales gain popularity as a disposition method. Additionally, the inventory of foreclosed properties continues to decline while the housing market demonstrates an on-going ability to absorb the distressed sales that result from completed foreclosures," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. Highlights of the CoreLogic report for November:
States with the highest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in November 2012:
These five states account for 50 percent of all completed foreclosures nationally.
States with the lowest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in November 2012:
States with the highest foreclosure inventory as a percentage of all mortgaged homes:
States with the lowest foreclosure inventory as a percentage of all mortgaged homes:

Drainage Therapy Plant
Simpson Solutions have been offering septic tank emptying services to domestic (household) and also advertisement apartments throughout the South Cumbria, the South Lakes and North Lancashire for over 20 years.
I collected wood and paper as well as a lighter and produced a campfire atop the lid. It took 3 separate campfires to cover the three areas that were covered in frozen dirt, but it worked! Yes, it actually functioned. I quit cracking my back excavating, as well as instead heated up (thawed out) to a campfire, then easily removed the planet under.
Several of the former storage tanks are just marketed on cost, have insufficient volume to abide by the British Standard, strike inadequate air as small compressors are much cheaper, have never been separately checked by anyone as well as do not have the essential EN 12566 Certificate. We pride ourselves on being experts in sewage treatment, not experienced salespersons. If a septic container is not the ideal option for the task, you will certainly need to buy it in other places.
The 1,000 gallon fiberglass container was installed in 1977. It offers an A-frame home that, prior to 2008, was virtually unoccupied as it was being remodelled. Since 2008, it has been occupied typically no more than 2-3 days, no more than 10 times/years. The last use was around 6 months back. Start by opening the storage tank examination or solution port and looking inside. If a septic tank pumping macon ga (

) tank remains in use and is not loaded to normal (near the top) levels after that it's probably ruined or leaking - unless it was just pumped. North Warwickshire District Council operate a 'suck-cess-ful' cesspool as well as septic tank emptying solution.
The purpose of a septic system is to treat drainage from a residence or several homes which are not attached to the mains water drainage system. It is generally either a large rectangle-shaped box made of concrete, stone or brick or a bottle-shaped plastic container buried underground not far from the equipment it serves. A sewage-disposal tank functions like a basic sewage therapy works and also the dealt with effluent drains from the container's electrical outlet pipe normally to a soakaway or stream.
These tanks are made to meet both the replacement requirements as well as the specifications of discharge defined by BS 6297: 1983. Clearwater tanks are used for residential sewage disposal where connection to a mains sewage system is not practical. The septic systems in the wide range all accomplish a high degree of settlement, creating a quality of effluent for discharge to a land drainage system.
At County Cleansing we understand that septic tanks, cesspools and also cesspits could be located in the least easily accessible locations. To this end we have actually particularly adjusted motor vehicles for the slim Devon lanes and a skilled operator ready for a quick and also tidy extraction of the waste. As well as emptying your septic tank we additionally provide a comprehensive installation and repair service of all Septic tanks and also sewage therapy systems, please require insight. It is advised that septic systems are cleared at least yearly. Below Lanes will certainly take the stress and do this automatically for you. In addition to that, we inspect to ensure every little thing is functioning as it should.

The Putnam County Health Department is changing the way it handles vaccines for children. The Lima News reports the agency will now bill private insurance for childhood immunization vaccines instead of giving them for free. The move is being made because the department is now buying the vaccines from a private company. In the past the state had provided them for free.
There are exceptions to the rule. The health department is part of the Vaccine for Children program; which pays for vaccines for uninsured children. It also covers the treatments for children on Medicaid or who have insurance that doesn't cover vaccines.

At the start of 2012, inflation was weighing heavily on many investors' minds as was the question of how to achieve decent real-term returns in a world of runaway prices. While these concerns have tempered significantly over the intervening 12 months, our 'inflation-beating' stock screen has nevertheless substantially outperformed the market. Indeed, the total return from the portfolio of 23.9 per cent (see table) was more than double the 10.9 per cent from the FTSE 350, the index from which all the stocks were selected.

I'm very new to the CRT FPTV thing, and I think it's best to ask questions before I get myself in trouble...
I will be using a Sony G70, and need a screen that's about 80" diagonal (my current display device, a Pioneer 710HD, has 65" diagonal) in a 16:9 ratio. I don't mind watching "stretched" 4:3 video, but I am concerned about "burning" the CRTs by using less than the full height of the raster area on the Sony. Do those of you with 4:3 screens find 16:9 material watchable without motorized masking?
I prefer a permanant wall mounted screen to acheive the best focus/convergence possible. I've heard that you can purchase an aluminum frame, then stretch screen fabric over it & mount the whole assembly to the wall. Is this a "standard" method, or are there good alternatives?
And finally, the most ignorant question so far...
When I see Da-lite screens listed on the AVScience site, I assume I'm looking at 400-600 for the screen material only, and I need to come up with a way to mount it to the wall. True?
My plan is to go with a 16x9 screen, and mask off the sides for 4x3. True, this will burn the CRTs, but my hope is that most of what I watch will be optimized for 16x9 (i.e., DVDs or HD).
--Marc Wielage
Dalite has many options for a permanent wall mount screen. If their standard sizes do not fit your needs, cut-to-size screen material and frames can be ordered.
Keep in mind, the frame needs to be mounted to the wall before applying screen material. The frame by itself cannot hold it's shape when the tensioned material as snapped on.
Kerry Haught
Did you order the screen from stewart directly? If so, what kind of price and lead time did they quote you?
David Keller
Haven't tried to order one yet. Before I try to get a "press discount" (which I usually only do as a last resort), I'm trying to work with a local installer. If he can make me a deal, I'll go through him; otherwise, I may try one of the out-of-town projection TV firms, and see if they can just drop-ship me a unit directly from Stewart.
E.J. Stewart's HQ is only about 20 miles from me, over in nearby Torrance. My understanding, though, is that they don't have much stock on-hand, and typically run at least 3 weeks behind in back-orders.
If anybody has any suggestions on a cheap source for Stewart screens, I'm all ears! (I was able to get a Lexicon MC-1 for nearly half price, and ditto on the Sharp DW100, so I know already that the deals are out there, if you look hard enough for them.)

Every mad scientist has a large specimen lab jar filled with body parts - a severed hand, a lopped off ear, a big fat nose and a pickled brain - floating in a jar filled with water. The best part of all is that these body parts start off small and get bigger the longer they stay in the water until they reach their maximum size. Each body part starts out about 5 cm (2 in) in length and grows to human proportions... or a little bigger. The body parts should reach their maximum size after 7 days.
You'll also receive a one gallon size WIDE mouth specimen lab jar made out of clear plastic - perfect to hold your Mad Scientist Body Parts. The kit includes a teacher activity guide with a detailed explanation of how the growing body parts work... just in case you're feeling the need to teach some ghoulish science. Yes, it's the perfect gift for that "special" someone who has everything - give them a "hand", lend them an "ear", get a "brain" and "sniff" out a good deal with this Halloween favorite. Recommended for children ages 4 and up.
What's Included?
- Growing hand
- Ear
- Nose
- Brain
- One gallon size clear plastic jar with sealable lid (to keep your creepy things inside)
- "Growing" instructions and the science explanation behind the growing body parts
Love these things! review by Susan A on 4/17/2013
I've used these for the past several years in my classroom, setting them up about 2 weeks before Halloween. I tell the kids (4th adn 5th graders) that they are body parts of former unruly students. They love it! I originally bought two sets and threw the first set out after we used them the one year. Then I got smart with the second set and dried them out... I've used those for two years... and just dried them out again for next year. I swear... those are the first thing that kids want to see each day when they come into the classroom (how much they have grown). Lots of fun... and cheap entertainment to be used over and over.
Neat but a little disappointing review by Brenda Emmert on 3/21/2013
They didn't grow as large as we expected. In the picture they take up the whole jar. I sent them to school for my daughter's science class. When the teacher brounght them for my Halloween party the brain and hand hadn't grown much at all. Otherwise a neat project. Just not what I had hoped for!!! It didn't give the WOW factor I had thought!
The Brainiacs in Room 252 review by Barb Ayres on 2/12/2013
I love the body parts in a jar! At the beginning of the year, we talk about our five senses in first grade and how important it is to use them all at school to be good learners. Last year we put the body parts in the jar and left them in our classroom for the entire year. People asked about them all the time! The last week of school, we took them out to see what would happen and they shrunk back to their original size.
I do wish that you sold the body parts separately from the jar as I now have a collection of jars and would like to just be able to use the ones I have and reduce the cost (and the plastic). It would also be great if the brains were sold separately as that would be a fun class gift!

Samsung NX2000 Smart Camera with 2.5X Zoom Lens Kit - 3/4 view from front right, with included flash unit
Item # 305NX2000W | MFR # EV-NX2000BFWUS
This item is no longer available.
The Samsung NX2000 Smart Camera has one of the largest LCD touchscreens in its class.
One of the world's largest tech companies, Samsung, is making one of the coolest camera families out there. And this Samsung NX2000 Smart camera is a great example of why we say so. With fine interchangeable-lens optics, a large, light-efficient APS-C sensor, a brilliant 3.7-inch touchscreen and one of the best camera-based implementations of wireless technology we've seen to date, the Samsung deserves to be considered among the top tier of digital cameras available today.
This camera comes with a versatile and reliable 20-50mm 2.5X zoom lens, which is perfect for day-to-day shooting opportunities. But should you wish to explore your creative side, a selection of optional "pancake" style lenses make it possible to change this camera's artistic profile while still keeping it slim enough to fit in a coat pocket. And when you want a lens with a bit more reach or specialized skills, a number of meticulously designed standard-sized options are available for the NX2000 as well.
Most of Samsung's NX-compatible lenses feature their innovative "i-Function" one-button technology, which enables you to access many manual and automatic settings directly from the lens — often with a simple twist. And one lens for the NX-series — the 45mm 2D/3D lens — allows you to record true 3D stills and movies with just one lens, for later enjoyment on a 3D-capable HDTV.
The NX2000's built-in Wi-Fi hooks up with your compatible smartphone, tablet, or PC in seconds with an available free downloadable app. And when you press the dedicated Direct Link key on the top of the camera, you can easily and quickly upload files to social or sharing online communities — or back them up in the cloud — directly from the camera. And when it comes to choose shots for sharing with the world, you'll be able to review and edit images easily with the bright, crisp 3.7-inch LCD touchscreen on the back of the camera — one of the largest displays available in its class. It doubles as an intuitive control interface for the camera, but bear in mind that the Wi-Fi app gives you even more control options from a distance, so you, the photographer, can spend some time in the picture too. Built-in near field communication (NFC) makes quick pairing to your NFC-enabled smart device a snap.
Camera is very good for the price. Takes beautiful pictures.

"Lucy" look-alikes honor Lucille Ball's 100th birthday
By Neale Gulley
JAMESTOWN, New York (Reuters) - More than 900 red-lipsticked, redheaded women -- and men -- gathered near a "Vitameatavegamin" sign in the hometown of "I Love Lucy" star Lucille Ball to mark her 100th birthday over the weekend, setting a world record for most Lucy look-alikes.
Sporting upswept hairdos and blue-and-white polka dot dresses, Saturday's crowd of 915 Lucy Ricardos established the first Guinness world record in her honor. It was all part of the annual Lucy Fest in Jamestown, which drew fans from as far away as Australia to the normally sleepy town of 30,000 people in upstate New York.
"This is a once in a lifetime experience. It has to be the best time in my life," said Cindy Wilson, 22, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Wilson started watching the "I Love Lucy" show in reruns when she was 7 years old and has a Lucy stick figure tattoo on her left foot, while sitcom husband Ricky adorns her right. She said her fiance's name is Ricky, and joked that's one reason she is marrying him.
Across generational and gender divides, those who love Lucy milled about a downtown plaza under a mural painted with the word "Vitameatavegamin" in three-foot-high letters. For Lucy fans, the well-known tincture made famous on her long-running TV sitcom needs no explanation.
Some revelers recited the word in unison, others sang "Happy Birthday" in honor of what would have been Ball's 100th birthday on August 6.
Amid the hoopla, a man proposed to his girlfriend, both wearing nightshirts imprinted with the image of a polka-dot dress and holding cardboard cutouts of Lucy up to their faces in accordance to Guinness' qualifying guidelines. She said yes and the crowd roared.
Kelly Wright, a natural redhead from Grand Valley, Pennsylvania simply wore one of her own polka dot dresses to look the part. Continued...

About this Business
- HoursSun-Sat6:30 PM - 11:30 PM
From Our Editors
Boneyard Haunted House has been featured in numerous local media outlets, including in a story on CBS 11 news exploring whether or not the space is actually haunted. Rumors swirl that the large, formerly abandoned building that operator Dan Hall has converted into a haunted house harbors some very real ghosts. To give his guests a proper Halloween fright, Hall has outfitted the building's downstairs area with more than 40,000 square feet of realistic-looking skeleton scenes, elaborate designs, and passageways that reduce one's line of sight to up the surprise factor. But, as Hall told CBS 11, other unintentional things have been happening inside the haunted house. Rolls of receipts have rolled across the floor and trash cans have accelerated across the room, all seemingly of their own volition. The phenomena have even caused paranormal investigators to come in with recording technology to try to contact the spirits of any lingering souls or prolific Ouija boards that might be stuck on the premises.
For guests who have walked through the haunted house in previous years, every season brings new and scary surprises. A writer from the North Dallas Gazette reported on the effort, noting that "each year, the haunt is completely taken down and the team starts fresh building exclusive rooms and new props." The attraction also boasts an indoor festival area with games, music, concessions, and vendors.

Apple's legal battles have been quietly continuing in the U.S. even after their landmark $1 Billion win over Samsung a few months ago. Apple is currently trying to fight patent claims lobbied against it by Motorola Mobility which is now owned by Google.
With five days to go before their contract trial starts in Wisconsin, Apple formally declared to the court that it will be willing to pay a licensing fee to Motorola Mobility as long as the license is $1 or less per iPhone sold.

Findability Tip: Geotag Flickr PhotosJason Cormier, September 5, 2006
On Aug. 28, the popular free photo-sharing site Flickr debuted a fun and potentially useful new feature: drag-and-drop geotagging. This is the easiest way I've found so far to show people exactly where each photo you post was taken, and to make it easy for people to find your photos when searching by location.
For example, this past weekend I hiked up to the summit of Bear Peak, on the western edge of Boulder, CO. I snapped a couple of photos of myself up there, and later that evening posted them to Flickr.
HOW TO DO IT: Flickr has posted a couple of short screencast tutorials on this topic:how to geotag your own photos and how to use all the controls for searching and exploring geotagged photos.
WHY TO DO IT: If geography is relevant to your projects or business, and if you're creating relevant photos, your photos should be as findable as possible. Even though this Flickr feature is brand new, it's becoming very popular. Flickr users are avidly searching for photos taken near other pictures they like — especially for recreation and vacation interests.
Also, it appears that Flickr's geotagged data is getting indexed by Google, which already indexes images and captions from Flickr. A popular photo, or a photo taken near a popular photo, could increase your site traffic and pagerank.
And of course, Flickr's approach to geotagging is dead easy. It only takes a few seconds per photo. Give it a try.

Handling pressure to be induced on due date(65 Posts)
Hospital policy is to induce on due date as I am 40+.
I am very keen to avoid the pressure of induction looming over me before I am even overdue as this marred the end of my last pregnancy too ( due to waters breaking and no contractions).
Have a meeting next week to discuss the plans - and am keen to arm myself with enough facts to know what my options are and how long it is reasonable to stall this intervention for.
I know I can push for monitoring instead - but last time I was put under huge pressure to stay in and be induced - and I just want to agree as much as possible next week rather than having constant negotiations.
I do understand there is a reason for the policy but would be especially interested if anyone has any access to actual stats relating to an increased risk of going overdue at my age. Is this policy standard at all hospitals?
I'm not advocating making any decisions that genuinely put my baby at risk - I just want to unerstan it beyond my midwife telling me they many give me a few days but not much longer...
Thanks in advance if anyone has any information or experience of this.
I had quite a bit of an issue with my midwives as I went a lot overdue but refused sweeps and further scans etc.
They kept banging on about 'letting me' or if I didn't do something then they couldn't agree to 'let me' etc etc.
I met most of those statement with a non-committal 'hmm' and then when asked to commit to something a simple but polite 'no thank you'.
EG 'If your baby is still in there the day after tomorrow then we'll have to do something about it'.
Me: 'Hmm'.
Then next time it was 'We need to book you in for induction'
Me 'Hmm'.
Them 'We've got Next Monday - okay?'
Me 'No thank you'.
Them 'Well I can't let you go much longer than that'.
Me 'Hmm'
Them 'Well shall I do a sweep'
Me 'No thank you'
Them 'Well what about tomorrow'
Me 'No thank you'
Them 'Well we'll definitely have to do one the day after'.
Me 'Hmm'
etc etc.
Starlight - your brilliant! Im going to use your very calm & collected way of dealing with hcp's!
Just wondering how you got on this morning?
I love the way hospitals have "policies" on things like induction!
What we need to remember is that a policy is something which can be enforced - so the policy actually relates to the hospital staff and not the patients - because they cannot do anything without our consent.
So a policy for induction of labour if you are over 40 means that the staff have to suggest or recommend this. But you, as the patient, can take it or leave it. Because they cannot MAKE you do anything - what are they going to do, come round and frog march you to hospital?
It's actually a guideline for patients and guidelines are just that !
Thanks starlight and snowsquonk more ammunition here!
shelley I am confused and confusing - my appt is next weds - not Thursday - so am going to do some notes / prep and rehearse my lines with DH over the weekend!
Found some interesting info about risks of induction in Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth which I may also use.
That's key-you are having to balance competing risks here, not pick a no-risk avenue over a risky one (which was how it was presented to me). I had a very ratty consultation with one patronising doctor that got me very worked up at the time. In retrospect I should not have engaged as much, just used Starlight's approach.
And it was verrry interesting how the pressure from the ante-natal clinic folk (unanimous, sustained) was met with quiet derision from everyone on the labour word-midwives, registrar, consultant. Bear that in mind-at least at Queen Charlotte's, there didn't seem to be anything like a consensus about this among the HCP.
This is a good and recently published article, in a peer -reviewed journal. I couple of the articles mentioned are just one person's opinion.
Good luck hope all goes well. Incidenally I was induced with my second and third pregnancy at 40 weeks as I had a placental problem with my first child. It was all very straight forward with no intervention)
Sorry one digit out
Contact http://www.birthrights.org.uk/
And http://www.aims.org.uk/
Both are really excellent organisations that will help you in whatever way they can and will have the statistics and other info you were asking about. Good luck!
Sorry on phone and don't know how to do the links so you can click on them!
Thanks for all the advice and links to data everyone.
Had my appt this morning - was a totally different experience to what I had prepared so carefully for!
Met senior registrar who was lovely - she started off by telling me it was my choice - and did I know why it was recommended - even referring me to the relevant study.
Made it clear there is no medical consensus .
Then asked me how I wanted to play it.
So outcome agreed is if no baby at 40+4 I am booked for a scan ( to check placental blood flow) then a meeting with the consultant to agree what's next - sweeps offered if I want them - no pressure re .induction.
I am so relieved and frankly so encouraged to meet such a refreshing health professional who treated my like a grown up!
So sounds like I am all on track to head to the MLU when it all starts - excited now!
Good luck tomorrow purple - please report back.
I printed off the birthrights PDF from Irishfairy in case I needed to point out my rights - you might find it useful too.
Fantastic live, if only everyone had that kind of experience
Really pleased for you Live. I'll let you know how I get on, fingers crossed its as positive an experience as yours!
Well my consultant wasn't willing to be flexible at all unfortunately, I know my situation is slightly different as it's due to a medical condition rather than age but she basically said no to everything I suggested. So I've ended up asking to be referred to another hospital which is further away from where I live but where I should hopefully be able to have some of my requests met. There's still absolutely no shifting them on induction though so I'm afraid that seems inevitable but hopefully I might be able to get at least the water birth I wanted. Just got to wait to be contacted by the new hospital to arrange to go and see them and enter into more
arguements negotiations with a new consultant there. They better get their skates on though, I'm nearly 38 weeks and some care trusts have a policy of inducing at 38 weeks for the condition I've got!
'There's still absolutely no shifting them on induction'
What they gonna do, arrest you and pin you to the wall whilst they put a drip in?
If you are convinced of their arguments then fair enough, but it is still YOUR choice, not theirs.
Did you ask the consultant for their concerns on each of your points?
Could you request them in writing?
Purple really sorry to hear that. Have you got clear information on why they are recommending it for your condition at least?
As Starlight says you can still decline - as long as you have all the information to make an informed decision.
Hope the new hospital are accommodating - and quick - I found the worst thing is dealing with all this stress in the last few weeks when we should be relaxing!
Thanks Live - I'm kind of ok with it all now that I can hopefully at least have the water birth I wanted I just couldn't deal with the total inflexibility!
Feel like I can deal with being induced if I can have the pool - it was the idea of being strapped up to monitors and stuck in a bed that was freaking me out the most. The monitors in the water doesn't seem so intrusive and restrictive somehow. Waiting to hear from new hospital and go and have a look around but feeling quite positive about it all.
Hope you're doing ok, not long to go now!
Glad you are feeling ok about the situation -and that the waterbirth is achievable.
I am feeling so much more relaxed about the birth now - and instead seem to have reverted to fretting about coping with two and newborn sleep deprivation !
Not happy unless I am worrying about something it seems.
There's no official guidance on induction at term aged 40+ as you probably know. The Royal College of Obs & Gyn are looking into it at the moment and I think there's a trial underway.
The summary of the current evidence is here.
I was the opposite to you as I requested induction at term (I'm 40) because I'd read the evidence as part of my work (non-clinical) and although the risks are probably tiny I knew I'd fret about it. I was on a midwife led, low risk pathway though and they'd have been happy to go to term +10 before talking about induction.
Anyway, I went into labour 2 days before my due date, 4 hours start to finish and it was great! I hope you get the birth you want - I found birth and the aftermath at 40 much easier than at 34!
How are you getting on Live? I saw my new consultant at the new hospital today and it was a MUCH more positive experience. They were far more ready to listen to what I wanted and were keen to do everything they can to encourage things along naturally (loads of sweeps) rather than blindly inducing because its 'policy' when my body isn't ready and risk induction failing so all in all feel much happier with my situation now.
Hope you're getting on ok, any signs of baby getting a move on?
Purple that's such good news - hope you can relax and enjoy the end of your pregnancy now.
I have no signs but am trying to get into relax and mentally prepare mode - just not thinking about what if he/ she doesn't arrive punctually - it's easier to do that now I don't have a deadline date looming.
Good luck - do report back!
Sweep number 2 today and things had improved since last time (which was only tue), next sweep Monday so fingers crossed things get going next week! Any movement Live or is your baby firmly staying put?
purple sounds promising!
I gave birth to a baby boy last night! Unplanned home birth - a bit scary when I realised how quick it was progressing but am feeling very serene now that he is here safe and sound - with no medical stresses.
Hope you have a similarly positive outcome ( without the 999 call!)
Wow! CONGRATULATIONS! hope it wasn't too traumatic, sounds a bit stressful. Fabulous news though, you've made my day
Thanks purple it wasn't traumatic - just a bit of a shock - am now in newborn snuggly heaven.
The irony that I didn't even make it to my due date after all that is very pleasing!
Good luck and please let me know when you have more news.

Hi all,
Well, Fedex dropped off a gorgeous MS3 helmet at my house today. I'm doing an ESB paint job for a member here. If he wants to reveal his secret identity, he's very welcome! :D
Previously, I had worked on an MS1 and a Sgt. Fang bucket. This thing is niiiiiice! Outstanding cast, and a very even FG layer inside. . . very smooth! The pre-located ear pieces are great! Just plug-n-play! :lol
It arrived with the keyslots and part of the visor already trimmed out, with the bottom portion of the visor area still in place (for stability during shipping I suppose) and I took some time today to trim the remaning portion of the visor and smooth the edges.
This is about all I will have time for today unfortunately. :(
Tomorrow I'll have a bit more time to check everything over really thoroughly and hopefully get the first coat of primer on.

Kate Mara
He's played a variety of different characters throughout his successful career and now Matt Damon is tackling the story of an abandoned astronaut in "The Martian," slated to hit theaters on October 2nd.
20th Century Fox just unleashed a new promo clip for the Ridley Scott project, which also stars Kristen Wiig, Jessica Chastain, Michael Pena, Kate Mara and Jeff Daniels.
Stepping out for some promotional duties, the cast of "Fantastic Four" arrived at the Williamsburg Cinemas in Manhattan last night (August 4).
Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell all looked to be in good spirits as they smiled for the shutterbugs before heading inside for the big NYC premiere.
Following a big debut at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con, the new trailer for "Fantastic Four" has landed on the interwebs.
The new preview includes never-before-seen footage from the forthcoming flick, slated to crash into theaters nationwide on August 7th.
She's been busy promoting her forthcoming film "Fantastic Four" (due out August 7th) and Kate Mara scored the front page of the August 2015 issue of Flare.
The "House of Cards" star shared why she prefers to keep her private life private- "It's so simple to me, because as an actor your job is to convince people you are someone else, and it's harder to do that when people know a lot about who you are and what you do on a Saturday. I'm a private person, but I'm a very open person when it comes to my inner circle."
Showing off her amazing physique, Kate Mara is featured in the new issue of Esquire magazine and it turns out she's much more than a pretty face with an amazing body.
During her interview the "House of Cards" cutie shared a recent family tragedy- "Well, my family's dog, Betty Boop, died a couple days ago. It was kind of crazy. I'm here doing a little Fantastic Four press. I went to the Met [Costume Gala], and I planned on going to see my family for two nights. The day I got there, the dog passed. I felt lucky to be there."
Century City was brimming over with beautiful babes as Max Mara hosted the Women in Film 2015 Crystal + Lucy Awards at the Hyatt Regency Plaza last night (June 16).
Among the distinguished guests were actresses like Kristen Stewart, Kate Mara, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman, who also brought her hunky husband Keith Urban.
Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, Kate Mara got all gussied up for the Max Mara 2015 Women in Film Face of the Future shindig in West Hollywood last night (June 15).
The "House of Cards" hottie debuted her brand new pixie haircut as she hammed it up with costume designer Johnny Wujek at the Chateau Marmont.
It's one of the most-anticipated films of the Fall season and "The Martian" just dropped the first official preview trailer for all to enjoy.
Starring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Kate Mara and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the Ridley Scott-directed project is slated to hit theaters on November 25th.
It's almost time for the reboot of "Fantastic Four," and Marvel has just rolled out the much-anticipated preview trailer for all to see.
Starring Miles Teller (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara (The Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan (The Human Torch) and Jamie Bell (The Thing), the forthcoming flick is slated to hit theaters on August 7th, 2015.
They've always had an interesting chemistry, and earlier tonight (January 11) Kevin Spacey and Kate Mara attended the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards together.
The "House of Cards" costars were in fine form as they walked the red carpet and mingled with fellow famous folks on their way inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
