It's easier and more convenient for dog owners to just open the door and let their pet outside for a bathroom break or a run around the neighborhood. After all, what harm could five minutes do?
This is a thought that these owners eventually regret when they hear that sickening squeal of tires on the blacktop near their house.
Or, when they open the door to call them back, just to find an empty yard.
Or, when their local animal control officer notifies them that their dog has killed the neighbor's poodle.
By Jon D. Applebaum, CEO of Twin County Regional Healthcare
Last week, Grayson County supervisors put a temporary stop to the controversial zoning repeal that has split the county into two sides over the past month.
The supervisors, the newspaper and social media have heard arguments from all sides during this divisive debate.
Some believe that zoning restricts their personal freedom to do what they want with their property. Others like zoning for that exact reason, because they don't want to wind up with a brewery or a Hooters erected next to their church or family farm.
These "zoning talking points" were submitted to The Gazette by Concerned Citizens for Grayson County and signed by the Rev. Laura M. George, J.D., and members of the group. The Grayson Board of Supervisors is considering a repeal of the county's zoning ordinance.
Zoning and Taxes
Zoning reduces taxes by locating industrial businesses in specific areas and building infrastructure just once (such as commercial roads, power, water, waste disposal).
Alexis Jones of Galax has a background in local government administration in Virginia and North Carolina
John S. Fant of Independence has a background in project and mission planning from his time in the military.
The Grayson supervisors' debate about a proposed repeal of the county's zoning ordinance has revealed an internal conflict on that board that mirrors the divided nature of citizens' opinions on the issue.
Though the anti-zoning faction on the board has claimed — with only anecdotal evidence — that their mission follows the will of a majority of citizens, the more vocal group has been the one defending zoning. More of them have been speaking at meetings, writing letters to the newspaper and voting in a Gazette online poll.

There's a lot of national "news" we'd like to forget about 2013 — Obamacare debates, the "fiscal cliff," Honey Boo Boo, twerking, "selfie" pics and state election ads on TV.
However, we could watch footage of Miley Cyrus and Honey Boo Boo snapping a selfie pic and twerking as they drove a car off the fiscal cliff over, and over and over. But, with our luck, Obamacare would cover their recovery and then they'd be back.
As Grayson County citizens sign a petition to get the Virginia Department of Transportation to erect better warning signs for unsuspecting truckers traveling on Comers Rock Road, people in Carroll County are no doubt feeling a little déjà vu.

Buster Simpson
The humor and rich metaphors in Buster Simpson's work distinguish it from that of many of his contemporaries. Some of his most recent work involves sophisticated technology and the internet. "Brush with Illumination" creates online brushstrokes from water current, tide and atmospheric data.
Small scale bioremediation is part of "Hudson River Purge" a media and sound-bite friendly agit-prop sculpture. Simpson dramatically addresses the problem of acid rain with giant limestone antacid tablets which neutralize the pH of the Hudson River. "Host Analog" at the Oregon State Convention Center reflects a similar concern with natural processes by pairing sections of old growth Douglas fir with a misting system. This public display of natural decomposition puts nature on stage to decompose and nourish new life in an urban space.
The quiet elegance of the "Exchanger Fountain" cools drinking water through evaporation, directs gray water to a willow tree and offers a poetic acknowledgement its source: "Santa Ana your water nurtures and your hot winds cool. The water kissing your lips is an offering."

With an estimated 8,000 plant species, this region ranks second in vegetation variety only to South Africa's legendary Cape floral kingdom. Scientists have identified just 10 percent of the plants living in the Congo rainforests. Rainforest inhabitants profit from this wealth: bark can be used for cloth or rope; leaves for dinner plates or roofs.
OIL PALM (Elaeis guineensis):
A native of West and Central Africa, the oil palm accounts for roughly 14 percent of all the world's plant oils. In the last century, oil palm plantations devoured huge tracts of rainforest. The palm is used for making goods ranging from iron plates and lubricating grease to chocolate, candles and soap. The first oil palm plantations were developed in Ghana in 1850. Thanks to biotechnology and the use of the West African weevil-beetle for pollination, Malaysia and Indonesia have since wrested domination of the world palm oil market away from West Africa.
MAHOGANY (Khaya senegalensis and anthotheca):
Mahogany is one of the most commercially popular woods from the African rainforest. Its texture is not as refined as American mahogany, but it is a highly valued wood for furniture, staircases, boat building and house paneling and flooring. Its coarser grain makes it resistant to termites. Rainforest tribes use mahogany bark to treat colds; oil from its seed can also be used to kill insects.
OKOUMČ (Aucoumea klaineana):
Found only in Central Africa, okoumČ accounts for 90 percent of the trees logged in Gabon's rainforests, primarily for markets in Italy, France, Japan and Israel. It produces a high-grade, lightweight wood that is used for veneer, plywood and sawn timber. Experts are divided on whether its exploitation is harming Gabon's rainforests: some believe that regeneration assures sustainable logging, but others argue that such a high rate of logging, concentrated on one species, will eventually destroy the okoumČ in its natural habitat.

This is easy using Alternatives. For example:
In[2]:= a Sqrt[x] /. Sqrt[x] | Power[x, _] -> b
Out[2]= a b
In[3]:= a/Sqrt[x] /. Sqrt[x] | Power[x, _] -> b
Out[3]= a b
Note, I've only shown a simple way to solve the specific issue.
I did not make the alternative using Power sufficiently
restrictive to prevent say x^2 from being replaced by b. If
there is to be made to cover the possibility of that something
like x^2 will be present but should not be replaced, the
alternative using Power would need to be more specific.

Ladies: before you answer an ad from a man begging you to kick him in the groin,read this first.
Cops say convicted sex offender Brandon James Clifford has placed Craigslist ads in several cities including Portland, Salt Lake City, Richmond and Boston, offering women money if they will repeatedly "kick him in the groin," according to KOMO.
The ads, which don't appear to be up any longer, said Clifford was looking for women with strong legs, such as soccer players or kick boxers. The ad claimed he wanted help teaching women self-defense classes, but police say he was out for sexual gratification.
Clifford got at least five women to answer his ads, but one of them said she got suspicious when Clifford asked if she would be able to kick him hard enough to "send him to the ground, because anyone who does is paid higher." She called police after a Google search turned up his criminal past.

64th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 1998
#5 Florida State 31 (Final: 12-1, #4)
#9 Ohio State 14 (Final: 10-4, #9)
How Florida State and Ohio State Met in the 1998 Sugar Bowl
"We did not have time."
Football, of course, is a 60 minute game.
But the 64th Sugar Bowl was really a 30 minutes game. It was over by the half.
Despite an early 3-0 Ohio State lead on a 40-yard field goal by Dan Stultz, Florida State dominated the trenches and the passing lanes while the game was on the line.
In the first half, the Seminoles had a stretch of eight plays in which they did not allow Ohio State to gain a yard. The Buckeyes' offensive line simply couldn't stop the charges of FSU defensive end Andre Wadsworth.
Split end E.G. Green caught six passes for 134 yards and a touchdown in the first 30 minutes. "It's kind of like you hear Michael Jordan say, 'if you can get in the zone, the basket gets so big you can't miss,' "said Green, who was the game's MVP. "The coaches kept feeding me."
FSU quarterback Thad Busby completed 18-of-25 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown in the first half, but he also threw two interceptions - one in the end zone with 6:08 left in the first quarter - that prevented the Seminoles from taking command even sooner.
Complete command came just before halftime when, with Florida State ahead 14-3, Seminole defensive back Shevin Smith picked off a Joe Germaine pass and returned it 51 yards to the OSU 23. That set up a two-play drive that lasted 17 seconds, ending when fullback William McCray scored from the 1 with 10 seconds remaining.
The way the Seminoles were manhandling the Buckeye offensive line, no one in the disappointing crowd of 67,289 could have logically believed Ohio State would be able to come back and score three touchdowns.
Florida State allowed Ohio State to move up and down the field in the second half, getting a touchdown before firing back with a touchdown and field goal. "Quick, relentless pressure throughout the ballgame," marveled OSU coach John Cooper. "Their pass rush was the best I've seen in a long time. We did not have time to throw the football."
Cooper's assessment was backed up by his team's quarterback statistics: field generals Stanley Jackson and Germaine combined for six interceptions and were sacked six times.
The big story, as it turned out, from the Sugar Bowl was the continuing saga of Bobby Bowden's magic carpet ride at Florida State.
Twelve months after losing 52-20 to the Florida Gators in the Superdome, Bowden's Seminoles returned for a notable bowl victory: his 16th in the postseason, one more than Alabama's Bear Bryant, two shy of the record held by Penn State's 71-year-old Joe Paterno.
And the superlatives didn't end there.
The victory pushed Florida State to a final No. 3 ranking. Since 1987, the Seminoles had finished No. 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 2, 1, 4, 4, 3 and 3.
Coaches and programs have won more mythical titles, but none comes close to matching such a 10-year claim to excellence.
Story excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

THE latest edition of a free council newspaper has been ripped to shreds in the council chamber by a senior councillor who called it 'a complete waste of money'.
Coun David Williams, leader of the Conservatives on South Lakeland District Council, tore up the publication which features 12-pages of news about the authority.
At a full meeting of the council to discuss its budget, he claimed residents he spoke to 'didn't want to read it' and suggested it be axed as part of an alternative Tory budget devised to offer residents a one per cent reduction in the Council Tax.
"£26,000 is wasted on this….and I'm tearing it up," said Coun Williams, ripping the paper apart as senior council officers and a full chamber looked on in silence.
But Lib Dem councillor David Ryder hit back calling the action a 'pointless gesture' and saying the paper was a 'good read' and a 'good investment' by the authority.
"Maybe you don't read South Lakeland News, but it's a better read than many other things we get. It's a lot better than some of the other political literature," said Coun Ryder.
Tory councillor Andrew GardIner suggested the council reduce costs of the publication by putting it online. "Think of the trees you would save," he said. "That would show people we understand they struggle and the extra pounds are better in their pockets."
Lib Dem Cabinet member Jonathan Brook said not everyone had access to the internet and that it was important to inform residents about the work of the council.
"It reaches parts of the community other communications can't reach," he said.
Coun Ben Berry for the Conservatives said the paper was full of 'shameless self-promotion' for the ruling Lib Dems and that residents would prefer the money.
"We've had savage cuts from central government yet this council has put forward a nought per cent increase in the Council Tax - an increase that plainly demonstrates how fat this council became in the good years," he said.
Coun David Evans for the Lib Dems pointed out that local businesses advertised in the paper and they were good judges.

The importance of good surface prep cannot be overstated.
Good surface prep provides two primary benefits.
Restores gloss and clarity
Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer will restore gloss and clarity to dull, lifeless paint while gently cleaning the surface of any staining, old layers of wax or other impurities to enable maximum bonding or adhesion to the paint by your favorite wax or paint sealant.
It's easy to use and versatile in that it can be applied by both hand or a DA style polisher like any of these: PC 7424XP, Griot's Garage Random Orbital Polisher, Meguiar's G110 and even the Flex 3401.
Fresh base = fresh start
The Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer removes old layers of wax and/or paint sealant to provide what's referred to as a fresh base onto which you can then apply a fresh coat of wax or paint sealant. A quality wax or paint sealant requires a clean surface in order for the protection ingredients to bond or to adhere. This is why periodically you want use a safe and gently prewax cleaner like Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer to remove old layers of wax and/or paint sealants and start fresh. This will maximize the protection and beauty offered by your choice of LSP (last step product).
I tested the Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer both by hand and by machine. Either way it was easy to use and did exactly what the label claims it will do and that's clean the surface of impurities while restoring a crystal clear surface, perfect for applying a wax or paint sealant over.
The test vehicle is parked outside 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and while the paint has very little to no swirls, it did need to be washed and clayed before any prep work could be done. This is where the Wolfgang product line shines as there is a complete selection of complementary products in this line which enables you to tackle every detailing aspect for your vehicle.
Before testing out the Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer we washed the test car using Wolfgang Auto Bathe car wash soap and after drying the car we clayed the paint using Wolfgang Clay Lubricant and Wolfgang Elastic Poly Clay.
Again, the label states to let the product haze before removing with a microfiber towel and that's what I did, just like the half of the hood I worked on by hand.
The leftover residue on machine side wiped of easily and left behind a crystal clear finish with great gloss and shine. Again, like the hand side, it looked like I just wiped off a wax or paint sealant.
Results after Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer
A clear, clean, smooth glossy surface. Perfectly prepared for application of wax or paint sealant.
Results after application of Wolfgang Fuzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax
Working by machine is so much faster and easier as long as your choice of product also works well by machine, and Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer is very machine-friendly.
The Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer is an excellent pre-wax cleaner/polish for use by hand or with a DA style or orbital polisher. It cleans and polishes the surface restoring a clear, glossy finish perfect for applying your choice of wax or paint sealant. It's easy to apply and work over the paint and wipe-off is just as easy. If you have a car in good condition then this is a great choice for einsuring the paint is clean, clear and smooth before waxing or sealing the paint.

Project DescriptionGWWO Architects recently designed and built the first nature center facility in Howard County, MD. The main objective of the new center is to bring people together with nature, to learn, to experience nature and the environment around them, and to promote an ethic of stewardship of the land.
The new center is designed to immerse visitors into a dynamic environmental learning experience from the moment they arrive on site through their entire visit. The three-story structure is nestled into the sloped site, with much of it below grade in order to minimize impact on the site. The result is a building that appears modest upon approach, and that does not distract from the experience of the site. The center's exterior is constructed primarily of wood and stone, reminiscent of the historic Simpsonville Mill, the remains of which are located nearby, and of agricultural structures similar to those found on the Robinson homestead. The use of wood and stone continues throughout the building's interior, which also features stained concrete and cork flooring. Expanses of glass offer views out from within at every step in the visitors' journey, maintaining connections to nature and enhancing the interpretive experience.
As visitors approach, they are at the level of the forest floor, literally walking on it. However, through the nestling of the building into site topography, as they enter the center and move towards the primary exhibit, they transition to the level of the tree canopy, both inside (into the top level of the exhibit that explores the forest ecosystem) and out (at the north end of the site where views are to the tree canopy). The transparent building enables visitors to see and feel this transition. They then circulate down through the primary exhibit, to the forest floor again, and continue to explore additional exhibits, including one on nocturnal habitats that takes them into an area appropriately positioned and darkened to reflect habitat conditions.
The Robinson Nature Center achieved LEED Platinum certification—the highest level of LEED certification from the USGBC. Key sustainable features include:
—FSC-Certified & Reclaimed Wood
—Geothermal Heating & Cooling
—Green Roof
—Pervious Paving
—Low-emitting Materials
—Locally Produced Materials
The center was designed as a teaching tool to promote the Robinson Nature Center mission of sustainability, and throughout the building there are narratives and explanations integrated into the design to educate visitors about the extensive green technologies used.
The new 26,000-SF facility includes exhibits, classrooms, 150-seat auditorium, "Naturesphere" theater, gift shop, special event spaces, administrative offices and support spaces, storage and workrooms. In addition, the site includes ADA accessible trails, rough terrain walking trails, and demonstration gardens and landscaping.

Adoption assistance may be available for children with special needs. Often, assistance is provided to encourage the adoption of special needs children and remove the financial disincentives to adoption for the families. If you have questions, please call the North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) at 651-644-3036 or our subsidy help line at 800-470-6665, or e-mail us at email@example.com.
Saskatchewan's Adoption Resources on the Web:
Saskatchewan's Adoption Assistance:
1. Saskatchewan's legal definition of special needs is as follows:
(1) Where a person proposes to obtain an order of adoption with respect to a person, who, at the time of the proposed adoption, is a Crown ward, the minister may provide assistance with respect to the Crown ward to the person who proposes to obtain the order of adoption if:
(2) The minister may provide assistance to an adoptive parent with respect to an adopted child who is a former Crown ward if the adopted child has a special need requiring special services as a result of having:
2. Please list the standard monthly adoption assistance maintenance rate in Saskatchewan:
The rate is 90 percent of the current foster care rate.
(These rates are current as of April 1, 2003)
3. Specialized rates, if available, are based on the extraordinary needs of the child, and/or the additional parenting skill needed to raise the child. If Saskatchewan offers special allowances over and above the standard rate, the criteria used to define the higher rates are as follows:
There are no provisions in our Assisted Adoption program to provide monthly maintenance payments which are higher than 90 percent of the current foster care rate.
There is a section in the agreement that allows for payments for special needs. Examples of special needs which may qualify for compensation include: specialized counselling, respite, travel expenses for an approved trip related to specialized services for the child, dental, orthodontic and medical expenses not covered by other plans.
4. In addition to monthly payments, what sort of post-adoption services (respite, counselling, residential treatment, parent training, etc.) are provided? When available, are these services formally specified in the adoption assistance agreement in Saskatchewan?
Payments for services related to the special needs of a child that are not available free of charge through existing community services, include payments for:
(14 Mar 2003 cA-5.2 REG 1, Section 49)
Upon request, case work support is also provided.
In addition, Saskatchewan has indicated that the following list includes services where payment was provided in the last reporting year:
5. What medical or dental services are available in Saskatchewan?
The Assisted Adoption Program allows for an assessment of need regarding medical, dental, and orthodontic services. It must be determined that all possible resources have been considered and utilized.
6. When my child turns 18, which benefits, if any, are available to our family?
All benefits outlined in questions 2 to 5 are also available to adopted adults designated to the program from 18 to 21 years of age. There circumstances for eligibility are the same for children aged 0 to 21 years.
7. Do relatives adopting under the program receive the same benefits as non-relatives?
All adoptive applicants (relatives and non-relatives) who apply to adopt in the domestic adoption program operated by the Ministry may be involved in the Assisted Adoption program if the child is designated to the program. All families whose child is designated would be eligible to receive benefits depending on the circumstances of the child and the existing resources available.
8. Do children adopted from private agencies in Saskatchewan receive the same subsidies as those children adopted from public agencies?
Programmatic Procedures
9. When do subsidy payments begin?
Monthly maintenance payments commence the date the child is placed for adoption. (Note: Placement date is prior to the finalization date where the Order of Adoption is granted.) Other types of approved payments through our Special Services section are eligible to be processed at any time following the placement of a child for adoption. The date of eligibility for all payments is the placement date.
10. Will Saskatchewan consider my family income to determine my child's benefit package?
There is no income scale applied. However, there is a discussion of the child's needs and the adoptive parents' financial circumstances, and decisions are made on an individualized basis.
11. Are prospective adoptive families routinely notified of all benefits available to them in Saskatchewan?
The Assisted Adoption Program is discussed at the time of intake when adoptive applicants are considering their options regarding adoption. There is no legislative provision addressing routine notification. At the present time, we do not have an informational brochure on our program. We have provided some basic information on our Ministry website regarding Assisted Adoption.
12. Who sets the assistance rates and how are they established?
The provincial government establishes foster and adoption assistance rates. These rates apply in all areas of the province.
13. Who makes the final determination of a child's eligibility in Saskatchewan? What roles, if any, do workers and administrators at the agency or regional level play in eligibility determination and/or assistance negotiation?
The Executive Director of Child and Family Services Division located at our Central Office must approve/disapprove a submittance to "Designate" the child to our program based on criteria outlined in the Adoption Regulations 2003. Once this approval has been granted, the regional offices determine and fund the services provided. The regional management also approves any alternations/ adjustments to the funding arrangement.
14. Once a child is determined eligible for assistance, is there any requirement to look for an adoptive family who will accept a placement without assistance?
There is no requirement to look for an adoptive family who will accept a placement without assistance. The selection process of matching a child with an adoptive family is always done in the best interests of the child.
15. Once eligibility is established, how and by whom are assistance agreements negotiated in Saskatchewan?
Once approval has been granted based on eligibility, the regional adoption program staff (caseworker) negotiates the agreement with the adoptive parents. There is no income/means test applied, however, there is a discussion of the child's needs and the adoptive parents' financial circumstances and their motivation and reasons regarding the adoption plan.
16. A child's adoption assistance agreement may be periodically reviewed by the agency. What is the typical process used in Saskatchewan?
There is a requirement of an Annual Review that includes a home visit. Also, there can be a review of circumstances upon request by the adoptive parents or by the Ministry, or within 60 days of a change in circumstances.
17. Can adoption assistance agreements be modified if requested by adoptive parents?
All adoption assistance agreements may be modified/re-negotiated upon request of the Ministry and/or the adoptive family according to legislation and policy.
18. A deferred or nil agreement is one in which the initial monthly assistance payment is $0. If a child's needs are listed as high risk and symptoms later manifest, the payment is renegotiated. Are deferred agreements offered in Saskatchewan?
Yes, there is flexibility in the agreement.
19. What are the exact steps a family must go through to access the appeal process in Saskatchewan?
All clients are advised of their right to appeal any decision. According to the Ministry brochure "Your Right to Appeal" families can take the following steps to try to have conflicts settled:
20. Families may request assistance after the finalization of an adoption under certain circumstances. Below is the process by which families access adoption benefits after finalization.
Yes, there is a provision for designation to the program after the Order of Adoption is granted. This legislative provision that allows flexibility after finalization has recently come into effect April 1, 2003. The eligibility for this group of adopted children is the same as the pre-finalization eligibility criteria as set out in the Adoption Regulations 2003. It is not expected that monthly maintenance payments will be required but, rather, needs linked to specialized services not readily available through existing funding sources.
System Operation and Program Funding
21. How is the adoption assistance program operated and funded in Saskatchewan?
The Domestic Adoption Program and Assisted Adoption Program are the responsibility of the Ministry and these programs are administered by the Ministry through regional offices throughout the province. The regional offices manage and fund the services provided. The regional management also approves any alternations/adjustments to the funding arrangement.
22. Below are other programs that may differentiate Saskatchewan's adoption assistance program from others around the country.

The Chinese government has appointed some of the country's most senior bankers to lead financial regulators as Beijing reshuffles key officials ahead of next year's transition to new leadership team.
The recruitment of the chairmen of two of the nation's largest banks to important regulatory roles lays the groundwork for a shake-up of the financial system at a time when concerns are rising about the bad debt threat posed to major banks by local governments and developers.
The sudden resignations of Agricultural Bank of China chairman Xiang Junbo and China Construction Bank chairman, Guo Shuqing late on Friday signalled the impending changes.
Beijing announced at the weekend that Mr Guo had been appointed chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), while Mr Xiang will chair the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC). It also announced Shang Fulin, who had chaired the CSRC, would become chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC).
The personnel changes have been prompted by other top regulators hitting the retirement age of 65. Liu Mingkang, who was the chairman of the CBRC, turned 65 in August, while CIRC chairman Wu Dingfu reached retirement age in July.
The musical chairs in the management ranks of the regulators is part of Beijing's continuing reshuffle of key positions and officials ahead of next year's transition to a new leadership team in which President
The leaders will retire from their Communist Party positions in about a year and then leave their roles as President and Premier at the National People's Congress in March 2013.
Many executives from large state-owned enterprises have been rotated into more political roles. Mr Guo's and Mr Xiang's appointments underscore the close nexus between business and politics in China.
Before their roles at the two banks, both men has served as deputy governors of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank.
More executives are being drafted into leadership positions, bringing management skills and international business experience to bureaucracies traditionally staffed by technocrats.
Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China chairman Zhang Qingwei was recently appointed as the acting governor of Hebei province.
His appointment follows that of Sinopec chairman Su Shulin as deputy governor of Fujian province earlier in the year.
Major changes in the leadership of provinces have also been made. Former party secretary of Tibet, Zhang Qingli, was recently made party secretary of Hebei. Former Hebei governor Chen Quanguo became Tibet party secretary. Yunnan and Hainan party secretaries of were replaced by their governors.

(WBIR-Maryville) You know the dogwoods are beautiful here in East Tennessee but how much to you really know about what plants are best for our particular location?
A book written by local experts is not a botanical manual but a story book written by plant lovers.
Her beautiful yard in Maryville reflects Lisa Phipps' love of gardening.
"When you clean your house, two hours later it looks terrible. When you clean a flower bed, it's like that for months," Lisa Phipps said.
She is one of more than 100 Master Gardeners in Blount County. They are volunteer educators with extensive training who work with extension offices.
James Hutchison is president of their group.
"We answer the questions for the home gardener and help with problems they're having," he explained.
Lisa Phipps said, "Once I became a Master Gardener... then everybody comes over and I go to their house and we just share, we just share."
They share their expertise with the public. The Blount County Master Gardeners get a lot of questions from retirees who move here.
"Usually their questions are about the plant they grew in Michigan that doesn't grow here. So we thought so why not just put out a book that would tell them our personal stories of what works here," Joan Worley said.
Joan Worley encouraged her fellow Master Gardeners to write about their favorite plants. She served as editor for their book called "Right Here! Plants That Thrive in East Tennessee."
Elin Johnson said, "It's not just a book that says plant things four inches deep. It's people's experiences."
Joan Worley explained, "Some of them include a lot of straightforward here's when you plant it, here's what it does, give it lots of water. Others wrote more fanciful things."
Elin Johnson said, "It just simply was things that people love and they wanted to talk about."
She wanted to talk about hostas.
"Hostas are wonderful shade plants, perfect companions for the wildflowers and ferns on our East Tennessee woodland hillsides. And nothing is more beautiful than a big Blue Angel Hosta growing among a clump of Japanese painted ferns," she read from her story in the book.
The book is available at several places in Blount County for a $10 donation to help with Master Gardener projects.
Foothills Farmers Cooperative in Maryville
Amburn's Market
The Market at High
Out of Eden Garden Center
Vienna Coffee House in Maryville
Trillium Cove Garden & Gifts in Townsend
The book covers about 60 plants.
"It starts with, I think the first one is Abelia and the last one is Vitex," Joan Worley said.
They are in alphabetical order but it sure doesn't read like an encyclopedia.
"This is the way I ended the article. Warning: hostas can become addictive," Elin Johnson said.
Last year alone the Blount County Master Gardeners Associations logged 5,000 volunteer hours.

I have two dream places. One of my dream places is to be outside under the clear night starry sky. To see the stars as far as my eyes will let me. The openness of the world as you look up to an endless sky, to hear the sound of the bugs all around you. While looking at the open space, your mind can image that it sees things in the stars. It makes my mind wonder about all of the possibilities that there are in life. To lie out under the stars is my great escape from the worries of the day. When I was younger I would walk for hours just looking up at the sky. It is amazing to see the earth move right in front of you while you are watching.
My other dream place is a big house out in the country, away from everything, with enough space to fit my family and me, there is three of us and one dog. I want my two boys to have their own room to design it in any way that they want. They each want to have a pet that is just theirs. Some place where my kids can call home. People need their own space to make theirs, to feel total comfortable in. I want to be able to hang something on the wall without wondering just how much it is going to cost me to fix it when I move out. A big fenced in back yard where our dog, Anastasia, can run and play without being stuck on a 10 ft. chain. Bond fires in the back yard surrounded by friends and family with my boys laughing in the background. Watching the kids running around in the back yard catching fireflies.

Pro tradesmen are not the target audience for the Matrix Quick Connect System (which is aimed at the DIY market) but it's an interesting idea for a tool.
It reminds me of what Ridgid did when they developed the JobMax. But instead of creating an inline tool B&D did a pistol grip. Ridgid's heads are skewed towards fastening (impact driver, drill/driver, ratchet, and auto-hammer; plus an OMT and jigsaw) while B&D's are skewed towards cutting and shaping (trim saw, jigsaw, OMT, and router; plus detail sander, impact driver, and drill/driver). Ridgid's tool is available corded or 12-volt max cordless; B&D's is 18-volt cordless only. I couldn't help but notice the blade clamp on B&D's OMT attachment; it's a dead ringer for the one on Porter-Cable's OMTs (which comes as no surprise since both brands are owned by SB&D).

Would it be to much to get a breast enlargement to a size D?
Doctor Answers 8
Implant Sizing to Achieve your Goals
1. Dimensional planning
2. Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.
Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to "try on" a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will "fit" just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your kind question
An examination and discussion one to one by a plastic surgeon is essential so that your breast tissues can be adequately assessed and your wishes discussed in more detail. Implant volumes are limited by the chest size and width of the breast but this is something that your surgeon will expand upon during your consultation.
Good luck!

Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year through every approach to give you the most options. Look for great reviews and great before and after pictures.

Would it be to much to get a breast enlargement to a size D?
Thank you for the question. However, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

(Video) 3D Tetris On A Waterfall Display System
Scientists use cascading water droplets to create a 3D multilayered computer display.
A team from Carnegie Mellon University has created a multi-layered computer display for playing Tetris (or viewing/playing any other content) using sheets of cascading water droplets. The scientists projected the high resolution images onto a series of water screens, one behind the other, to give depth to the image. They said that by quickly switching between images, a projector can display on different layers at different times on this display.
New Scientist explains the waterfall display system:
Each screen is formed by water droplets falling from 50 stainless-steel needles. The needles release their droplets in unison, with 60 such lines created every second. A camera tracks their position and feeds the information to a projector, which illuminates them with pulses of light. The human eye integrates the information from several pulses to create the illusion of images moving on a floating screen.

Harris' move to back line improves struggling Syracuse defense
Logan Reidsma | Staff Photographer
Heading into Saturday's game against Johns Hopkins, Syracuse's defense needed a facelift.
Somewhere — amid the countless faceoff losses, question marks in the cage and injuries to key players in the midfield and attack — the team's back line sputtered.
Despite the defense's evident experience, it yielded 16 or more goals to three of the four ranked teams it faced before squaring off against the then-No. 3 Blue Jays at Homewood Field.
But SU head coach John Desko shifted senior long-stick midfielder Matt Harris to close defender in an eventual upset win over JHU. And for a unit that spent the early portion of the season searching for more answers than it provided, something clicked.
"Matt coming down the past two weeks we've gotten a lot better at communicating," senior goalie Dominic Lamolinara said. "He's a captain, he's been down there before, so he's got all that experience."
Harris' contributions on defense didn't necessarily surface on the stat sheet. Syracuse (4-2, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) didn't collect more ground balls than the Blue Jays — an area that Harris excels in — and still allowed 10 goals. But his leadership and experience keyed a pivotal first half in which the Orange gave up just three goals, and had Desko singing the defense's praises after the game.
With a date with Duke this coming weekend and SU needing to improve its in-conference play to qualify for the ACC tournament, Harris' insertion into the back line couldn't come at a better time.
"I think that in previous games, the goals we've been giving up were just too easy for me," Desko said. "We've had some young guys in there and we've mixed and matched, and we decided to bring (Harris) to limit some of the easy goals.
"I think it helped quite a bit."
After not starting in a 14–8 win over then-No. 20 St. John's on March 8, Harris jogged out alongside Brandon Mullins and Sean Young on Saturday, replacing sophomore Ryan Palasek.
In a complete performance, Harris picked up a team-leading four ground balls and scored a goal late in the third quarter. But most importantly, he anchored a zone scheme that stymied the Blue Jays' production in the first half.
Faceoff specialist Chris Daddio was stifled by Johns Hopkins FOGO Drew Kennedy and would end up winning just 4-of-25 faceoffs in the game, which granted the Blue Jays extra possession and placed the defense under immense pressure.
Yet the Orange's defensive approach was methodical and keyed Harris' size and communication skills in the middle.
Syracuse mitigated the playmaking ability of Wells Stanwick — JHU's dodging attack that feeds passes to diving teammates. The defense played a tight zone and face guarded all cutters, which forced tough-angle shots and put it in position to capitalize on every fumbled pass.
"I think our hustle kind of showed today," Harris said. "I haven't seen the groundball stats, but I feel like every time the ball was on the ground on our end we picked it up and made a successful clear. And especially when we're having a tough day at the X, that's huge for us."
If Desko didn't trust his long-stick midfielders, he'd be more hesitant to pencil Harris in as a close defender for the foreseeable future. But that's exactly what the head coach did in his postgame press conference.
"Our poles are probably our deepest position," Desko said. "To put one of our poles down on close defense, it's a no-brainer for us when we have three poles that we're still comfortable playing. I think we're going to continue to do that."
Two of those other poles are freshman Scott Firman and redshirt junior Peter Macartney. Harris has all the confidence in his teammates, and even seemed a little jealous after the game when he quipped about them being the ones to attack from the midfield moving forward.
That's something Harris enjoys — his third-quarter goal came after he carried the ball 60 yards — but won't be doing much of as he settles into the middle of SU's revitalized defense.
Said Harris: "They're no drop-off from me up top."

Turning from the window, Lauren went to greet their guests. She circled her assistant's desk, fluffing her hair before she stepped into the foyer. Seven warm bodies in that small space made it feel crowded but they'd had more. Counting on Jackie to distract the young girl, Lauren approached the mother with an extended hand.
"Hello, Patricia. I'm Lauren McKay. I'm so glad you found us."
The cop jerked slightly at her name, but just as his head tipped to the side to see around the boy in his arms, Lauren shifted her attention to the girl.
"And I'll bet you're Morgan, am I right?"
The girl nodded bashfully.
Lauren smiled. "What's your brother's name?"
Morgan pointed with her thumb. "He's Josh."
Lauren's expression softened on the small boy. She reached out to touch his back, and froze, stunned to see a familiar face looking back at her over the boy's shoulder.
Those warm eyes belonged to a man she never expected to see again. He'd haunted her for years, and now she felt desperate and weak, and yes, more than a little afraid. He'd always thrown her without even trying. His slow, intimate smile sent her heart rate galloping like a thoroughbred's.
Flustered and shaken, Lauren turned back to the mother. "Why don't you go with Jackie? She'll show you to your room, and while the kids make themselves at home in the playroom, you can come back and we'll go over a few things in my office, okay?"
The woman nodded and reached out to take her son from the officer. Relieved of his burden, the man lightly brushed the back of the boy's head. He watched them walk downstairs before turning back with a more personal smile for the woman in front of him.
"Lauren." His voice caressed her name, and she trembled.
"How are you, Wes?" Her warm response didn't betray the inferno inside her.
"I'm good. Oh, this is my partner Chuck Townsend."
Lauren blushed with embarrassment. She'd barely noticed the other man.
"Hi, Chuck," she said with an apologetic smile.
"Nice to meet you, Lauren." He chuckled and winked at Wes. "I'll just wait outside. Take your time." Chuck bolted for the door.
Wes turned with a laugh. "Well, that was smooth."

More testing! :) See if turning off and turning on the captive portal
fixes it. If so, you can script it to go off and on overnight and
minimize this. Also, longer idle timeouts can lower the load. But
let's be sure it is the captive portal first.

What people expect from customer service is changing. We need to react to that. We've always been proud of our customer service, so if problems are popping up it just makes sense for us to review that situation.
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) July 05, 2013
Police.us.org is starting a major review of their current customer service policies in response to customer demand, the company announced yesterday.
"We've realized that there are some problems with our customer service standards that we need to review," a Police.us.org spokesman said. "The industry is changing, and our customer service standards need to reflect that."
The Police.us.org spokesman said that while the company still has highly rated customers service standards, there have been some additional complaints from customers lately and they feel the review will help them solve those challenges before they have a negative effect on the organization.
"What people expect from customer service is changing," the Police.us.org spokesman said. "We need to react to that. We've always been proud of our customer service, so if problems are popping up it just makes sense for us to review that situation."
Some points the company is considering in the review include expanding their social media presence and using their blog, PoliceBlog.us.org to communicate with customers more effectively.
"We may also update our training program for our customer service representatives at Police.us.org," he said. "This is going to be a very comprehensive review, and no decisions will be made until we know exactly what we have to do to close the gap."
The review is expected to take roughly four weeks to complete.
"We plan on having more news about our new customer service initiatives next month," he said.

T.J. Oshie and Jonathan Quick, who enabled the U.S. men's hockey team to emerge from a dramatic shootout with a 3-2 victory over Russia in a preliminary game Saturday, have ties to some prominent Utah sports figures.
Oshie plays for the St. Louis Blues and was a cornerstone of former team owner and Bountiful native Dave Checketts' plan to build the team around young players.
In a 2011 interview with The Tribune in St. Louis, Oshie said the Blues players felt both support and a sense of urgency from the owner. "He demands a certain standard from us," Oshie said.<

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of assistance is available?
Federal grants, state grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships are available to students based on eligibility.
What is the FSA ID and password?
The FSA ID is now the required login information for various federal aid websites, including the FAFSA on the Web. We recommend creating your FSA ID before you begin completing your FAFSA, which will make the process easier. You can create your FSA ID and password at fsaid.ed.gov
You can create your FSA ID and password here: https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm
What is A-B Tech's Federal School Code?
A-B Tech's Federal School Code is 004033.
People keep referring to Cost of Attendance (COA). I don't know what that means. Are they referring to tuition and fees?
Yes, but it also includes a lot more. Cost of Attendance is based on an average of what most students typically pay for most expenses for a given year. Cost of Attendance includes such things as tuition, fees and books, but it also includes things like supplies, an estimate of room and board expenses, an estimate of transportation expenses, and "miscellaneous" expenses. Cost of Attendance varies based on a student's living arrangements and whether their residency status is in-state or out-of-state. There are also variances depending on certain programs and associated costs of those programs. A general chart of some common Costs of Attendance amounts can be found on our Cost of Attendance page.
How does the government determine if I am eligible for financial aid?
The U.S. Department of Education determines your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) based on the information you provide on the FAFSA. Each academic institution that you included on your FAFSA will use the EFC and your enrollment status to determine which aid programs you are eligible for and the amount you are eligible to receive.
I am 21 years old and have been on my own since I was 18. Do I have to include my parents income on the FAFSA?
The U.S. Department of Education deems that if you answer yes to one of the Dependency Status Questions on the FAFSA application, you do not have to include your parent's income on the FAFSA. If you could not answer yes to at least one of the questions in this section, then you are required to provide your parents' information on the FAFSA.
What is verification?
If you've been selected for verification, you may be wondering what it's all about. Basically, the verification process provides a consistent and structured way for the Financial Aid Office to verify your eligibility for financial aid. The government asks us to collect some information from selected students and compare that information against what they indicated on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to ensure correctness. If in the process of reviewing a student's financial aid file, we notice conflicting data, the conflict must be resolved before awarding can take place. This verification process ensures that you are awarded in accordance with federal regulations governing the appropriate disbursement of eligible funds.
How can I get a copy of my Tax Return Transcript?
There are several different ways to request a Tax Return Transcript:
1. Visit IRS.gov / Get a Tax Transcript to print your transcript or to have one sent to you via postal mail.
2. Schedule an appointment with your local IRS office to obtain a copy in person: 1-844-545-5640.
3. Call 1-800-908-9946 to order a tax return transcript by telephone.
Get Transcript
How do I fill out the FAFSA if I did not file a tax return?
In the Financial Data section of the FAFSA, select "Will Not File" for the "Tax Return Completion Status" question if you did not file a return and were not required to do so under federal guidelines. Follow the same steps for your parents if you are a Dependent student and are required to provide parental data.
How will I be notified about what financial aid is available to me?
An Award Notification email will be sent to your A-B Tech student email notifying you that your Award Letter is ready to be viewed in WebAdvisor.
How will I receive a financial aid refund?
A-B Tech has partnered with BankMobile to disburse financial aid refunds. After you've registered for classes, you'll be sent a Refund Selection Kit in the mail that will be in a green envelope. If you're unsure of when you'll receive it, go to refundselection.com and click "Where's My Refund Selection Kit?" (under step 1). This will give you information on when your kit was shipped to you. Follow the instructions inside the refund selection kit to select your refund preference.
I received my grant refund and it was less than I was awarded. Why?
There are several reasons why your refund may be less than you were awarded.
First, remember that tuition, fees, and bookstore purchases made with financial aid funds were taken out of the grant money that you were awarded. You then receive a refund for the remaining balance of grant funds.
Also, award notifications are based on your being enrolled full-time. If you enroll less than full-time, the award will be adjusted for the correct enrollment status.
State grants require that you be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours as part of their eligibility requirements.
Will my financial aid be affected if I withdraw from a class?
Withdrawing from classes can always have a negative impact on you financial aid status. For example, federal regulations require students to maintain at least a 67 percent cumulative passing rate during their academic career to remain eligible for financial aid. Withdrawing from classes will lower your passing rate. We encourage students to take a manageable course load and try their best to earn a grade of C or better in all courses attempted.
Will my financial aid be affected if I withdraw from all of my classes?
If an aid recipient withdraws from all classes, regardless of the reason, before the 61% point of the semester, a percentage of Federal aid received may have to be repaid based on the Federal Formula Calculation.
I received a Pell Grant for the fall and/or spring semester, and I plan to attend summer semester. How do I find out if I am eligible for Pell Grant for the summer semester?
If you were a full-time student and received Pell Grant for both the fall and spring semesters, you would not have any Pell Grant remaining. However, if you were not enrolled, or enrolled less than full-time, for fall and/or spring semester, you may be eligible for some Pell Grant money for the summer semester.
Does A-B Tech ever offer financial aid for Study Abroad opportunities?
A-B Tech occasionally sponsors Study Abroad opportunities for students during the summer semester. Students who want to participate must have a current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and a completed award file to be considered for any federal, state and/or institutional financial aid. They must also be enrolled in the College, registered for a study abroad course that is in their program of study, and meet all Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.

Dr. Hector Gonzales, president of Southwest Texas Junior College, focused on the future of SWTJC during his address to faculty and staff at the 2014 spring convocation general session on Jan. 7 at the Uvalde campus Tate Auditorium.
"Last semester saw many changes in the college's organization," Gonzales noted, "and those changes are largely behind us."
A ten-year re-accreditation process by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, SWTJC's regional accrediting body, will begin in earnest during the spring 2014 semester. While SWTJC will not submit a re-accreditation proposal until the summer of 2015, Gonzales explained that the extended time frame is necessary to create a successful proposal and stressed the importance of faculty involvement in the process.
"We've already begun some of the work necessary for re-accreditation," the president said, "and will be ramping up our efforts this semester."
Creation of a new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), developed in tandem with SWTJC's re-accreditation proposal, was also addressed. Gonzales encouraged faculty to consider the broad impact of student services as they develop the next ten-year QEP initiative.
A review of SWTJC's "college climate survey" is part of the President's plan for the spring 2014 semester. The survey, conducted in 2008, asked respondents about "all aspects of the college." Gonzales plans to use the results of the survey as a baseline to measure college improvements since 2008.
Construction-related progress and enhancements are ongoing for many SWTJC campuses. The SWTJC Del Rio campus construction is nearing completion and will be move-in ready by summer 2014. Plans for additions to Eagle Pass and Crystal City campuses are underway. Additionally, the Uvalde campus will continue to receive upgrades to buildings and services.
Finally, although enrollment numbers are down at SWTJC, Gonzales indicated that the decrease mirrors both state and national enrollment levels.
"It's the sign of a good economy," Gonzales explained, "When the economy is good, enrollment goes down."
Gonzales closed on a note of optimism: "We've done excellent work on student success. Let's continue to focus on that. Student success is our future."

I have measurement values at specified locations over the years 2000 - 2009.
These measurement values were generated using three different analytical
methods. Method 800: 2000 - 2004; Method 802: 2005 - 2007; Method 811: 2000
- 2009. I have been trying to examine the data for different methods during
the time periods in which the methods were used. I have tried various
combinations of -if-s and -over-s without success. Hence the SOS.

All-in-One PCs for Everyone
And What About iMacs?
We can't have a complete discussion of all-in-one PCs without mentioning the line of machines that has come to define the category: Apple's iMac. The latest model in that line, the 27-inch Core i7 iMac is the largest of the all-in-ones we've seen. Equipped with 4GB of RAM and a 2.8GHz quad-core processor, it's also the fastest, netting a score of 128 on WorldBench 6. And it's gorgeous, if you're a fan of brushed metal.
Alas, the iMac ships without a Blu-ray drive, a TV tuner, and HDMI or eSATA ports. And the Apple all-in-one is pricier than most of its Windows-based counterparts, too; keep that in mind as you ogle the chassis and weigh your options.
All-in-One PCs to Suit Diverse Needs
Each of the five all-in-one PCs we recommend in this article delivers excellent service for a specific group of tasks: home office use, kitchen service, home entertainment, college student support, or preteen activities.

This retention of water by the tissues gives rise to the condition known as edema.
There is edema of the ureal tract, apparently from transudation of serum.
Autopsy: Liver slightly congested; a small portion of the intestine showed congestion and edema; other organs normal.
Pneumonia is a frequent complication and edema a terminal event.
There comes a time when all forms of exercise must be prohibited on account of the dyspnea, edema, dizziness, etc.
On the first two occasions, one eye was closed completely by the edema.
In cases of simple chronic glaucoma there is but little evidence of edema of the iris.
It is used in certain cases of nephritis when edema is present.
edema of the lungs is a very grave symptom, but recovery is possible.
The patient had three convulsions and died with edema of lungs about 30 hours after the attack of ventricular fibrillation.
c.1400, from medical Latin, from Greek oidema (genitive oidematos) "a swelling tumor," from oidein "to swell," from oidos "tumor, swelling," from PIE *oid- "to swell;" cf. Latin aemidus "swelling," Armenian aitumn "a swelling," Old Norse eista "testicle," Old English attor "poison" (that which makes the body swell), and the first element in Oedipus.

The ECB is succeeding in its mission to wean Irish banks off emergency eurozone support – but at a cost. Data from the Irish central bank suggest that support for Ireland's banking sector rose €18.9bn in the month to February 25 to stand at €70.1bn (red on the chart). ECB support fell €9bn to stand at €116.9bn (blue on the chart). This means that combined assistance rose €10bn to €187bn, a new record. As you can see on the chart, combined assistance (the total height of the bar) dipped in the month to January, but has now risen again, suggesting banks' needs are growing.
For the Irish central bank, assistance to the banking sector (under "Other assets") now constitutes more than a third of total assets. Indeed, assistance for banks is approaching half of the country's GDP. As David Owen, chief European economist at Jeffries points out: "There is a school of thought that this €70bn or so of emergency liquidity is a contingent liability of the Irish state and so should be treated as such. If so, then outstanding Irish government debt-GDP could soon be heading towards 175 per cent. It will be interesting to see what the IMF says on the subject, when it publishes its assessment of the economy and debt dynamics 15 March." Indeed it will.

Emmy Nomination Fan Reaction
Emmy Nomination Snap Judgments: Your Take
We've already given our opinions on this year's Emmy nominations, but we've been really interested in reading what you guys have had to say. For every TV fan happy about a certain nod, there's another viewer who's upset that their favorite has gotten snubbed. Check out the most pleased — and enraged — comments about the Emmy nominees.
- "Yay for Martha Plimpton and Cloris Leachman's nominations for Raising Hope! The show is hilarious and definitely deserving." — larisa5656
- "Thank you for Louis C.K." — nickpirce
- "So happy about FNL!" — ktc71
- "Awesome to see Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones getting some love." — Wild Magelet
- "GLEE. GLEE. GLEE!" — spicyaroma
To see what shows and actors readers think were snubbed, just
- "NO SEAN BEAN!??? ROBBED! Glad to see at least Peter Dinklage got one though, and he MUST win. Also pleasantly surprised to see Joan Cusack's work in Shameless being recognized — she plays an amazing character on a very underrated show." — jadenirvana
- "Bleh! I will never understand the nominations here. I feel like they put zero thought into it. Johnny [Galecki] does not deserve a nomination. In my opinion he's the least funny person on the show. The same goes for Ed O'Neill, yeah he cracks a few jokes but that doesn't mean he deserves a nomination. I'm tired of seeing the entire cast of Modern Family get nominated." — awesomepants
- "No True Blood?! What! Nothing! I can't believe that. Were they up for consideration or were they completely overlooked?" — masmith
