I'm 58 W/ Thin Irish Skin That Flushes Red in a Warm Shower. I wear hats & 30 SPF block faithfully & live in sunny So-Cal. 5 yrs ago I had physician-delivered IPL (5 treatments in 7 weeks) with amazing results. 17 months ago I had another IPL series (6) of lower intensity delivered by nurses at American Laser Center. Modest results.
But now I have red patches on the "apples" of my cheeks & smaller spots near my nose and lower cheek area. Did laser treatments cause these? What can diminish them? Which type of medical peel would help?

Remember how some Rangers had said they wanted to get on a roll so they wouldn't have to keep changing lines?
They still feel that way. Problem is, they're still not on a roll.
So a day after saying he didn't want to tweak his lines for tomorrow, Tom Renney decided otherwise after watching a tape of the Florida game.
Here are the new lines, which seem like a safe bet for tomorrow against the Pens. Note the reunion of a top line that started out training camp together; the return of Petr Prucha to the lineup after 10 straight games as a healthy scratch; and Lauri Korpikoski moving to the wing:
The defensive pairings stay the same. And the team didn't practice the power play so it's too early to tell whether they made any adjustments there.

will you please look at these questions for me as well. Science is not one of my best answers and I just want someone else to check them as well.
I would be happy to look at those questions for you, but since they are really a separate set of questions from the original, I'm afraid that site policy requires you to post them separately. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!
when you say separately do you mean every question.
No, questions can be posted as a group. It's just that new questions must also be in a new place rather than continuing in the same discussion. Once again, sorry!

Solo artist IU sang a cute 'Happy Birthday' song to fellow MC Lee Jong Suk on the September 9th broadcast of SBS 'Inkigayo', receiving much attention online.
In the Korean version of 'Happy Birthday', the lyrics include 'Happy birthday to you who I love', but IU changed the lyrics to "Happy birthday to you, who I don't love but we're still getting close to~", making viewers laugh and attracting even more attention from fans and netizens.
Upon hearing IU's cute version of the song, netizens commented, "IU's ad-lib has 'sense'", "If IU sang 'Happy Birthday' to me, I would have no more wishes", and "They look friendly and good".

This week, Spinal Cord Injury BC (SCI BC) launched two brand new online resources: Accessible Housing BC (www.AccessibleHousingBC.com) and Accessible Employment BC (www.AccessibleEmploymentBC.com).
"Finding housing and employment are two of the biggest challenges people with SCI or related physical disabilities face in British Columbia. That's why SCI BC created these two new websites. We wanted to help people meet these challenges head on, with the support and resources they need at their fingertips," says SCI BC executive director Chris McBride.
Each month, SCI BC is inundated with requests related to accessible housing; in fact this was the number one question asked of our InfoLine staff in 2011.
For the past 10 years, SCI BC has met this demand by connecting accessible housing providers and people with disabilities seeking accessible or subsidized housing via our Housing List of Vacancies.
Building upon the success and demand for our Housing List of Vacancies, SCI BC created Accessible Housing BC.
Accessible Housing BC is the first online resource in B.C. dedicated exclusively to connecting accessible housing seekers with accessible housing providers who wish to rent or sell properties.
This resource is entirely free to use and people only have to create an account and sign in if they wish to post a listing.
Housing providers can post accessible properties they wish to sell or rent, and housing seekers can search for properties by region or they can refine their search by choosing specific accessibility features, certain types of properties or by selecting only subsidized or coop housing.
SCI BC will also use the website as a resource portal. All the relevant information and resources people may need to find or provide accessible housing will be available on the site.
Unemployment is a major problem for people living with a spinal cord injury (SCI).
In 2006, Stats B.C. found that the employment rate for those with a disability was less than 60 per cent, compared to 74 per cent for the general population. Amongst those with severe disabilities the findings were even worse: only 47 per cent were employed. [1]
With 2.8 million British Columbians living with a disability in 2006—more than one in ten people—high rates of unemployment can affect the whole province's economy. [2]
It doesn't have to be this way. SCI BC frequently receives calls from employers at various businesses and organizations who want us to share their job postings with our membership.
To facilitate a link between job providers reaching out to the untapped workforce of people with disabilities and job seekers with disabilities looking for these employment opportunities, SCI BC created the Accessible Employment Board.
This is the first online resource in B.C. dedicated exclusively to helping people with disabilities find employment opportunities.
The Accessible Employment Board is entirely free to use. Job seekers with disabilities can post their resumes on the site to market their particular skills directly to employers who are committed to employment equity and developing a diversified work place.
Job providers, meanwhile, can target their job openings directly to people with disabilities. In the long-term, this can save employers time and money: people with disabilities tend to have a 72 per cent higher retention rate than people without disabilities.
The site is also a resource portal. Job seekers can access information to help them with resume, cover letter and interview skills and employers can find resources relevant to them, like "Myths and Facts about Hiring and Working with people with Disabilities".
Are you looking to get back into the workforce after a recent injury? Register today for our FREE four-evening workshop on "Returning to the Workforce". Here are some details on the class content:
"This four-evening workshop is targeted toward individuals with a disability or recovering from a disability. Learn job search strategies with resumé and cover letter writing, where to look for jobs and interview skills. We will run through the full job search and application process with practice interviews and how to handle disclosure about your disability."
The class if free but spots fill up fast! Register now before it's too late!
Check out these sites today and spread the word! The more people know about these new resources, the more effective they will be. If you have any suggestions for improvements, we'd love to hear from you! Give us your feedback on the comments section of this blog or via Facebook or Twitter.
SCIBC has helped me in the past when I was looking for accessible accomodation. I know how difficult it is to find suitable housing. I know the housing list has been helpful to many other people as well. It's great to see the new listings on this site and I am sure will be of benefit to many people who require accessible housing.
The accessible housing board is a fantastic idea and addresses a critical need in the community. Tip of the hat for getting this up and running.

Pure Poison Hot Sauce Review
Tags: garlic, habanero, Oleoresin Capsicum, pepper extract, review
Pure Poison Hot Sauce – Wow. Pure Poison lives up to the name. The sauce is easy to pour and will burn on impact. I poured some on a spoon. Since I expected a thicker sauce, I poured a little more than I thought, and I decided to go ahead and give it a taste. The heat factor was instantaneous and definite. After I gave my mouth a moment to cool off, I decided to smell the sauce. The aroma is beautiful and savory, with an almost gourmet appeal. Beneath the heat, the taste of the sauce was the same.
The ingredients in Pure Poison Hot Sauce are simple but well blended. Habanero peppers, red wine vinegar, orange juice, garlic, garlic salt, and a healthy dose of capsaicin are all you'll contend with, which is surprising, given the complexity of flavors here normally found only in sauces with extensive ingredients.
The color of this sauce is deep orange. It's loaded with bits of seed and hot pepper. While it is a rather thin sauce, it clings to your food and really sinks in. I was pleased by the way it elevated a bowl of chili as well as my scrambled eggs. I shook a little into some Mexican sausage and let it fry up. Pure Poison Hot Sauce settled in with the grease from the sausage to create a truly fine layer of flavor for my corn tortillas with cheese and Mexican sausage.
If you're looking for great taste and a blistering bit of action on the side, grab a bottle or two of Pure Poison. It's raging hot, but you will certainly feel the heat, and you'll want to use it on just about everything you eat.

My idea is to somehow reuser the module and macro system of PLT. I'm just starting with PLT, so I need advice about the best way to do this. What I was thinking about was that I could write a module using #lang sines, for example. The forms in this module would be expanded to the core syntactic forms in PLT-Scheme (the ones in chapter two of the reference manual) by PLT-Scheme. Then the compiler takes these and generates Javascript (maybe using javascript.plt) and serve it with the web server or maybe put it in a file. Even better: a compiler already exists and I don't have to port mine. In IRC, Eli Barzilay pointed me to the mailing list telling me that a Scheme to Javascript compiler, implemented in PLT-Scheme, might already exists. I'm guessing he was referring to this message. Anyhow, is there something already usable? If not, I need advice, as a PLT-Scheme newbie, on the best way to reuse PLT-Scheme to implement (port) my compiler.

I bought this book last year and found it interesting in parts but a bit
padded out. If you want more scientific coverage, the pair of books below
discuss climate change in both the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Scotland in
great detail. They are somewhat pricey but worth it in my view.

DICKERMAN-L ArchivesArchiver > DICKERMAN > 2000-05 > 0959231493
From: Charles Ray <>
Subject: Putman B Dickerman
Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 00:11:33 -0500
This is undoubtedly Putnam Bailey Dickerman, born 7/7/1840 at Jewett in
Greene County, New York. He was the son of Joel Dickerman and Eunice
Bailey. Joel was the son of Joel Dickerman and Catherine Atwater. The
lineage is Putnam, Joel, Joel, Hezekiah, Jonathan, Isaac, Abraham,
Thomas, George.
Per our earlier discussion of cousins... Catherine Atwater's parents
were Samuel Atwater and Ruth Dickerman. Ruth was the daughter of Samuel
Dickerman and Mary Alling. So here we have first cousins once removed.
Anyway, back to Putnam, he enlisted 8/1/1862 in the 120th at Jewett. Saw
action at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the
Wilderness. Was made 2nd Lt on 12/22/1864 and mustered out 6/2/1865.
Apparently he, and all his living siblings moved to the Rockford, IL
area. All of his children were born in New Milford, IL which is just
south of Rockford.
On a small world note, my grandmother Bessie Ableman, daughter of
Eleanor Dickerman, went to high school with Elizabeth Hammond, the
grandaughter of Putnam Bailey Dickerman.
John, I do have some other info on this family if you want it.

Quick GuideSun-Damaged Skin: Pictures of Sun Spots, Wrinkles, Sunburns
How can sunburn and skin cancer be prevented?
The ideal methods of preventing sunburn, and hopefully skin cancer, involve:
- Limit the amount of time of sun exposure and avoiding the peak sunshine hours of late morning to early mid-day, generally 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Wear protective clothing such as a broad-brimmed hat, UV protected sunglasses and clothing; long pants, and shirts with sleeves that cover the arms (thicker fabrics and dark clothing in general protect better compared with light clothing - there are clothing products available that offer "UV" protection).
- Be aware sunburn can occur even on a cloudy day (clouds don't stop ultraviolet rays), and even when you are in the water.
- Remember that sand, water, and snow reflect the sun's rays and increase the chance of burning during beach activities or skiing.
- Use a protective sunscreen to minimize the penetration of UV rays. Sunscreens with a skin protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 are recommended for everyone, even dark-skinned individuals, exposed to the sun. Light skinned people should use a higher SPF when in direct sun. Apply several minutes before going into the sun and reapply often.
- Avoid tanning beds and sun lamps.
How do sunscreens work?
Sunscreens protect the skin by absorbing or reflecting the UV radiation. Many available sunscreens protect mainly against UVB and may not adequately protect against long standing UVA exposure.
Sunscreens may be classified into two groups, physical sunscreens and chemical sunscreens.
Physical sunscreens
- Physical sunscreens act by reflecting and scattering the UV rays (A and B) and thus, limiting their exposure to the skin.
- They include chemicals such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, ferric chloride, ichthammol, and talc.
- Their use has been somewhat limited by their opaque appearance and tendency to stain clothing.
- Many newer preparations of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are more cosmetically acceptable and easier to use.
Chemical sunscreens
- Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing the light prior to reaching the skin.
- Traditionally, these sunscreens have protected mainly against UVB rays.
- Some examples of this group include para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), PABA esters, salicylates, and camphor derivatives. PABA has been phased out of sunscreen preparations because of the high rate of allergic reactions to this chemical.
- More recently, newer sunscreens have been developed to also absorb UVA rays such as avobenzone, Mexoryl, dibenzoylmethanes, anthranilates, benzophenones, triazoles, and some camphor derivatives.
The most recommended practice is to use a combination of physical and chemical sunscreens for the most adequate protection.

June 1 2013 Family Cruise: Carnival Elation Cruise Review by anika143
Overall Member Rating
June 1 2013 Family Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Faresaver was a great help in finding the price cuts and my sisters were vigilant in watching for free upgrades and price cuts.
We stayed at the Embassy Suites and the Courtyard Marriott near the terminal. It's possible to walk there if you have one rolling piece of luggage, but we ended up paying the $7 per person to take a taxi.
This was the first cruise for my son (who'd been in the Navy for 8 years but never on a cruise ship) and he threw himself into the acrtivities whole heartedly--the karaoke, the hairiest man contest, the trivia night, dances, etc. The 6, 9 and 10 year old played a lot of miniature golf, and hit the pizza place More between every meal. Our family found the pool towards the back of the ship was less crowded, so that's where we hung out.
I never met my cabin steward, but the service was terrific. I'd ordered bottle service (beer and vodka), and they kept a plastic bucket filled with ice for me every day for our drinks. Every adult in our group brought a bottle of wine on board, so we also had at least one bottle a day chilling.
Good news: the warm melting chocolate cake, by far the best desert on the menu, is now available every night. And the avocado soup and bing cherry soups were amazing, with a terrific presentation. I stuck with the server resommendations almost every night and wasn't disappointed. Though I have to say, breakfast isn't the most inspired offerings.
The past guest party still had free drinks and appetizers, but it was poorly attended and it seemed more like one long Carnival sales pitch more than a thank you to past guests. Kind of a disappointment.
Disembarkment for us was complicated because someone in our group got sick and had to be taken out in a wheelchair. Actually, about seven of us got sick during the cruise, and not from seasickness. People in our family various forms of stomach pains, some of us later got diarrhea or ram a temp.
Not sure if this was from something we ate, or some bug going around, but it definitely put a damper on things.
Finally, New Orleans is a great port. 8 of us stayed on for 2 more days after the cruise and had a fantastic time exploring the city, including a Cajun Encounters swamp tour. We love NOLA! Less

Cabin review: E146
I think E146 was underneath the Inspiration dining room. Later in the evenings you could hear the noise as they cleaned up, but otherwise it was a nice, quiet mid-ship location.

Public intoxication
Walking home from work on Thursday (yes, I had to work on Thanksgiving), I saw a highly inebriated gentleman standing in the middle of the sidewalk. Apparently he had an urgent need to urinate, but was having trouble accessing the necessary organ. Sometimes it's tough to reach, what with all the layers. He was hunched over, fiddling around with his zipper like it was a Gordian Knot (great band, btw). Suddenly he stood upright, as if a thought had just occurred to him (perhaps "Maybe I shouldn't be urinating here"). But this sudden movement started him teetering, and he fell backwards, like a felled tree. He seemed unfazed by this development, and by the time I reached him, stretched across the sidewalk flat on his back, his eyes were closed and he was smiling. I hope he didn't fall asleep. The temperature was about -5 F.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, can't believe it's already Thanksgiving. Sorry I haven't posted much lately. Between the bouts of heavy drinking and the hard work, who's got the time? (Just kidding of course; I haven't been working that hard.) ...
First, I have an update on the mystery of the fate of the Oneida, the yacht on which Grover Cleveland's secret cancer surgery was performed. As I blogged about a few weeks ago, somebody sent me a picture they snapped last summer of a boat that looks an awful lot like the Oneida. It was exciting to think that the Oneida was still out there, since its ultimate fate is still unknown (to me, at least).
Well, this week I got an e-mail from somebody who thinks the yacht in that picture is actually
the Cangarda (built in 1901) – and I think he's right:
Drats, I was really hoping I'd found the Oneida.
On the home front, it's been getting colder and colder in Ulaanbaatar, but we're adjusting. The other morning Allyson was getting ready for work when she asked me what the weather was like outside. I said, "Not too bad: four above." (And that's Farenheit, of course.) A couple weeks ago we went out to dinner and walked home in a temperature of nine below. That was pretty cold.
And the simple act of walking is complicated by the fact that the entire city is pretty much covered with a layer of ice, including the sidewalks. At least the snow makes the open manholes easier to see.

Beijing Trip
Allyson had a conference in Beijing last week and I tagged along to check out the city. We got a bit of sightseeing in on Friday and Saturday and generally had a good time. I was impressed by the city: clean, modern, totalitarian. But the public displays of expectoration were startlingly numerous (and disgusting). People here in UB spit in public a lot, but nothing like the Chinese, who seem to be conjuring a piece of an internal organ with the preliminary hacking, then expel the result on the sidewalk (or, in one case, the floor of the meat market), not to mention everything else in the general vicinity. Seriously, don't talk to me about "cultural differences" - you'll never be regarded as a modern city as long as people are hocking loogies in public. (And there are packs of wild dogs roaming about - but that's a different rant.)
Anyway, here I am in Tiananmen Square. I was going to write "freedom" on a bed sheet and run around with it, but Allyson talked me out of it.

We've all heard the old saying an "Apple a day keeps the doctor away"? I wonder if the saying remains true if said apple has been infused with sake?
Well, before we figure that out I wanted to invite you over to my friend Mac's blog Dishin' In The Kitchen to listen the podcast where I dish about my special day in the Spago Beverly Hills kitchen.
Mac's excellent interviewing style and sweet voice made this interview a piece of cake 'er… I mean pie. 😉
Oh, and while you are there don't forget to pick up my Fuji Apple Sake Zabaglione recipe, you'll need it for this yummy pie.

and DiPrima,

Any edition will do.
(You can get old editions of this book at abebooks.com for as low as $1.)
There will be three in class exams, given most probably during the following times:
|Exam 1
|In class, October 8.
|Exam 2
|In class, November 12.
|Exam 3
|In class, December 7.
There will be no final exam in this class, so make sure you do well on the exams and quizzes (see below). You are allowed one handwritten sheet (8.5 by 11 inches) of notes for each exam. No other materials (books, notes) or electronic aids (calculators, cell phones, laptops, etc.) will be allowed.
Only students with notes from the Student Experience Office, (4th floor of Academy Hall, x8022) will be allowed to take makeup exams.
Exam grades should first be appealed to the instructor. You have 5 business days from the day the exam in question was handed back in class/recitation to appeal its grade. The fact that you were not in class/recitation on that day is not an excuse for an extension. No appeals will be granted by the instructor after that period. Any further appeals should be directed through the office of the department head.
There will be approximately weekly quizzes given during the recitations. They will closely follow the material presented in class, recitations, the suggested homework and the lists of problems listed below.
The dates of the quizzes and their contents will be announced in the recitations.
No aids of any kind will be allowed on the quizzes.
There will be no makeup quizzes whatsoever. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped automatically. For any additional missed quizzes you will need to bring a note from the Student Experience Office, 4th floor of Academy Hall, x8022. In case you do, the zero for that quiz grade will be dropped, and the average over all the other quizzes will be substituted for it.
Quiz grades should first be appealed to the TA. You have 5 business days from the day the quiz in question was handed back in the recitation to appeal its grade. The fact that you were not in the recitation on that day is not an excuse for an extension. No appeals will be granted by the TA after that period. Any further appeals should be directed to the instructor, and, if those fail, through the office of the department head.
Student-teacher relationships are built on trust. Acts, which violate this trust, undermine the educational process. The Rensselaer Handbook of Student Rights and Responsibilities defines various forms of Academic Dishonesty and you should make yourself familiar with these.
Copying from fellow students' work or from unallowed aids during a quiz or an exam, as well as using electronic means to contact helpers outside the examination room, is a breach of academic integrity. If caught, you will earn 0 points for that quiz or exam. If caught again, you will be sent to the Dean of Students with the recommendation that you be expelled from the class with a failing grade. It is also strictly forbidden to resubmitt a quiz or a test for regrading with changed answers. Such behavior will be considered the highest breach of academic integrity. It will definitely land you in the office of the Dean of Students with the recommendation that you be expelled from the class with a failing grade.
Standard Institute procedure for academic integrity breaches will be followed.
Some suggested homework problems and their solutions can be found here. (Skip problems 46-48.)
These homework problems are somewhat representative of the material tested on the quizzes and exams.
It is strongly recommended that you work at least through all these suggested homework problems. This is because mathematics is a skill acquired through practice, similar to playing an instrument or a sport. The only mathematics you will ever really master is the mathematics you will do yourself. Passive ability to understand lectures and recitations alone is no guarantee that you will be able to solve problems on the quizzes and/or exams.
Working on the suggested homework and other suggested problems in groups or at least checking your solution methods with other students is highly recommended. While most of the problems are standard, they sometimes do require generating an idea, and this is always easier in a group.
Here, here, and here are some of the same problems, and some different ones, in the HTML format. Here are some of their solutions.
Here are some more typed problems.
Here, you will find a number of old exams that you can use as practice problems.
To help you yet more with your practice, here is a list of suggested problems from the 10th edition of the textbook.
Here is another list of suggested problems, this one from the 9th edition of the textbook. Here and here are two more lists of suggested problems, one from the 7th edition of the Boyce-DiPrima book, and one from the 7th and the 8th editions. These lists are a bit outdated, and contain problems from chapter 9 that we won't cover, but don't contain problems from chapter 6 that we will cover.
If you have serious problems when trying to solve the suggested homework or problems from any of the other lists above, you should seek tutoring from the Advising and Learning Assistance Center. Such problems may include: (i) you don't know how to even start the homework problems; (ii) you do not even know how to formulate a specific question to ask at the office hour; (iii) you went to the office hour three times in a row with substantial questions. Neither the instructor or the teaching assistant can provide tutoring during their office hours.
I am expecting to use the following grading rules: Each of the three exams will constitute 1/3 of your final grade.
The lowest exam grade will automatically be replaced by the quiz average if the latter is higher.
The percentages for grade cutoffs will be no stricter than
|< 60
and may end up being looser, but I won't know where exactly they will be until the very end.
At any given moment, you can compute your current grade as follows: Drop the lowest quiz grade, add the points you got for your remaining quizzes, and divide by the maximal possible number of points on those quizzes. (Each quiz will have that number printed in a prominent place.) This will give you your total quiz percentage so far. Then take the percentages on your exams so far. Drop the lowest exam percentage or the total quiz percentage so far, whichever is the lowest, and average the rest. Compare with the above table. This is the worst your grade can be at that time.
None of these aids are allowed during quizzes and exams.

SPORTS >> Jackrabbits still in hunt for repeat
Leader sportswriter
HEBER SPRINGS Spreading the wealth is always a good thing, especially when a state tournament berth is on the line.
Thats exactly what Lonoke did in its 74-59 opening-round win over Gosnell on Thursday night in the 4A East Regional tournament. Five players ended up in double-digit scoring, led by 15 points each by seniors Michael Howard and Clarence Harris.
With the win, the Jackrabbits, defending 4A state champs, earned a bid to the state tourney for the third consecutive year. They played Osceola last night in the tournament semifinals. The winner of that game will take on the winner of the other semis matchup between Stuttgart and Marianna-Lee on Saturday for the Regional title.
This was the pressure game, said Jackrabbits coach Wes Swift. And we put five seniors in double figures. Ive been a little bit hard on them, but they came through tonight and played pretty well. Defensively, Im not just super happy with the way things went, but Im very happy to get the win an to be in the state tournament again.
The Pirates made their comeback run late in the third quarter, as they cut a 19-point Lonoke lead to 54-43 heading into the final period. Exhaustion and foul trouble got the best of them, however, as the deeper Rabbits extended their lead again in the fourth quarter.
Senior post Linwood Lambert proved to be the go-to guy early on. The 6-6 player, known as Juicy, put Lonokes first points on the board with an inside assist from Trenton Spencer at the 7:01 mark of the first quarter, and upped the early lead to 4-0 with an assist from Lance Jackson on the Rabbits next trip. He ended up with six points during the opening period, 12 for the game.
I didnt think they would guard Juice with (post DeAntre Scott), said Swift. If they did, we were still going to him, because obviously, hes their best player. If they didnt, then Juice was going to be against a 6-1 kid. We knew if they came out man to man, that we wanted to go to him, and Juice got a couple of baskets there early and got us going.
Howard ended up with only two points in the first quarter, but it was his pilferage and assists that did the most damage to Gosnell early. His steal and feed to Harris with 2:16 left in the first put Lonoke up 15-7, and he repeated the same feat again with the same result in the final minute for a 19-11 Jackrabbit lead.
The Pirates kept the deficit in single digits until the final two minutes of the first half, but Lonoke closed strong with an 11-4 run. Spencer hit a lay-up at the 1:58 mark to start the spree, and finished the half with another basket that followed Pierre Smiths three-point play.
Lonoke shot over 50 percent for the game, going 30 of 53 from the floor. Gosnell was 20 of 51 shooting, and had 28 team rebounds and 23 turnovers compared to 30 boards and 10 giveaways by the Jackrabbits.
Spencer and Smith each had 11 points for Lonoke. Smith, Lambert and Howard each pulled down six rebounds, while Howard added five assists and three steals. Darius Scott finished with six points and Chad Dixon four to round out scoring for the Jackrabbits.
For Gosnell, senior post player DeAntre Scott led the way with 25 points and nine rebounds, with 21 points from guard Ethan Bryant, including 4 of 6 three-pointers.

This is an excellent point. My husband's father committed suicide and he and
his sister were the recipient of social security checks until 18 or they
graduated from college as well. I believe that for this to have been
applicable he would have had to work and pay social security taxes for a
minimum amount of time--anyone know?

I used to love to wish on the clock. You know: 1:23, or 2:34, or 5:55. Sequential numbers or matching numbers meant I could make a wish, and it would come true. Most of my wishes were tiny ones, and I have no idea how many came true, but I loved the ritual.
Today is 12/12/12. And I'd feel remiss if I didn't make a wish. Or several.
I wish for the continued health and happiness of the people I love. I wish for growth. I wish to make the world a better place. I wish for the wisdom to figure out what the "small stuff" actually is. I wish for the strength to set and uphold boundaries. I wish for laughter, lightness, and joy.
What do you wish for on this Wishing Day?
