I currently live with my parents who are very religious. I want to keep my parents happy and live separatly from my boyfriend out of respect for them. Although I am not actually abstinent, my parents beleive I am a virgin, and I know it would ruin my relationship with my parents if they thought otherwise.
My boyfriend asked me what my parents would think of us moving in together if we were engaged. We both agree that we want lots of time to arrange the wedding so its not so stressful, but it would be great for both of us to move in together when his current lease expires.
I've heard that some christians consider an engagement to be equivalent to marriage and this makes sense to me but I am a bit scared that my parents react badly so Im goping to get some other opinions first. Other alternatives might be: getting legally married and then having an actual ceremony later?

I'm vehemently against marrying someone before you live with them. There's SO much you learn about a person, and yourself, what needs to happen before you're married. It's FAR more important to keep yourself happy than your parents with their archaic views.11|00|0
*which needs to happen
I agree. I dont want to force my boyfriend to marry me just because it is more convenient to live together. I want him to actually want to be married. Moving in together proves its not just infatuation
I'm not sure that's what I was saying...

This wise thing to do is tell your parents the turth. This lie will only groe and get worse. If you and your potential husband is serious then you need to be married first. Your friends are wrong. Cohabitation is NOT a marriage. And if you two do that now, you might as well not bother with marriage. Your increasing your risk for divorce early. Don't play games. Because if your not a Christian and I'm telling you this as another Christian it is wrong.
You dont want to be in serious trouble with God. He says to honor your parents in all things. You can't say you want to respect them but your lying to them. If you end up living him yoir bound fall into sexuak sin again. And then he is not going to want to be married to you, because your already giving him what you could have given to him as a wife. Men aren't going to benefit from marriage of what you already give them. But then again I dont know what kind of Christain you or your parents are. Or what your personal beliefs is. But I will say that you do have carnal minded friends who will get you into trouble.00|00|0
Sorry I had so many typo mistakes.
Either way I cannot tell you what to do. At the end of the day it is your life. And you will have to reap what you sowed. Be serious, because marriage is a very big and seeious step. If your parents still agrees after this you two better prove that you two are worthy of marriage with each other before God. He has to order your steps. You cannot do that by yourselves.

here is what your not getting*
As Christians we still need to abide by the laws of this world as long as it doesn't infringes our rights to practice our beliefs wither religiously, or our relationship with God.

Handmade Bohemian Jewelry, for that Little Touch of Exotic in an Everyday Life
I started off at an early age in the field of fine arts and illustration. Mostly working with pen and ink, oil on canvas and sculpting with clay; exploring form, texture and contrast, light and dark. During my studies, I started to branch out into computer graphics which led to a career in computer effects and cinematography. At the time, cinematography felt like a natural step for me, where I could create moving compositions. Mix that with lighting and it began to feel like painting moving pictures.
But through the years I began to feel the need to get back to my roots, back to working with my hands, the need to feel something more tangible than what was in cyberspace. So following my love of art and fashion mixed with the need to construct with my hands, I began to explore jewelry design. Before I knew it, I was hooked. My heart now sings with joy when I plan out a new design and I feel at peace while bending metal, hammering and shaping it into organic forms. I started to feel a natural buzz when combining colours and textures of the different stones and metals. This feels right.
My love for music, fashion and dance from around the world started to find their way into my pieces. Beads and materials from different cultures are commonly incorporated into my work. This inspiration drives my designs, giving them an exotic, bohemian touch.
I mostly work in silver and copper, combining them with various semi precious stones and glass. I especially enjoy utilizing the more unusual stones; ones with interesting texture and colours. The jaspers, the agates… so much wonderful variety. The many different blue tones of amazonite to the rich reds of carnelian and the special light play found in labradorite… I find all of them so fascinating and a joy to work with. I will usually spend hours, sometimes days mulling over which stones to use in a particular piece. Examining each stone in the light from different angles. Placing the stone with different beads, different combinations to get a feel for which elements have the best harmony together. Then when I'm ready to sit down and construct the final piece I bend, wrap and hammer the metal into organic shapes; wrapping and interweaving it with the stones and glass. Every piece is made with love and care and a passion for the art.

Title is automatically adding it self even when not setup to do so
I am having a little problem with getting the Title to stop automatically adding it self at the end of my title for every page that I have setup.
I have tried ticking force rewrite title on and off and nothing is changing.
I get the title that I want to display at the beginning and then my site title repeats at the end with no space in between.
I am using the same settings as a previous site using export and import, same plugins and theme all on another website but the title will not correct it's self.
I do not have any cache plugin installed either so the changes should show straight away but nothing is making any difference except for how I want my title formatted under the SEO settings.
Does any one have a clue why this is happening? It is also doing in this on the homepage, I get the title twice so it looks like it is repeating it's self.
- The topic 'Title is automatically adding it self even when not setup to do so' is closed to new replies.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: phranque
I have had a few errors in the past, but never when this is happening. This is one of them.
Event id: 115
W3SVC could not bind to instance 1
I've looked this up, and the information on it doesn't seem to pertain to my problem here. It said to delete the SSL port, but you can't. Buttons are grey in that field.
I cleared the event log so I wouldn't get confused. I don't have the exact errors. I will save them if I ever see them again.
Anyway, can anyone here suggest anything to check? I'm stumped on this one. It seems there are just no clues as to what's happening. :(
I'm far from a server expert but, if you haven't done so already, you should probably apply all of the latest updates to W2K and IIS. Pay particular attention to the security oriented fixes. There are still many IIS servers infected with the Nimda virus and you may be getting visited by one or more of them. They could be crashing your server while trying to infect it.
Also, if no one here can provide a solution for you, there's a very active IIS forum here [winnetmag.com] that may be of help. Just don't forget to stop back and see us! ;)

Healthy Testosterone Levels in the Face of Stress
In today's busy world, stress is a fact of life. While no one can prevent high levels of stress from popping up on occasion, if high stress becomes a chronic day-to-day issue for long periods of time, it can begin to change the way hormones work in the body.
What happens in the body during high levels of stress? The body's response to stressful situations is to release a number of hormones from two organs located just above the kidneys, called the adrenal glands. In response to prolonged stress, the adrenal glands produce cortisol, which helps to maintain energy levels for longer periods of time. In normal functioning of the body, this is an important hormone, but in excess and over time, too much cortisol can be hard on the body.
How can stress affect testosterone levels? Hormones are made from cholesterol produced in the liver, and hormones have the same basic building block. When high levels of stress affect the body on a regular basis, it gives the body a priority of creating cortisol over testosterone. In this way, high stress and high cortisol levels are associated with low testosterone.
Low testosterone is associated with many health symptoms in men. The most common are low libido, difficulty with erections, low energy, increased weight gain, and poor mood or irritability. Low testosterone is also correlated with poor blood sugar control, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels.
The best way to improve testosterone levels in the face of chronic stress is to treat not only the low testosterone, but the adrenal glands as well. Temporary hormone replacement therapy, or treatments aimed at increasing your body's natural production of testosterone can help bring your testosterone levels back up. In addition, it is helpful to take a natural medicine that will help to strengthen the adrenal glands, reduce stress, and maintain healthy cortisol levels throughout the day. By approaching the issue from these two angles, you will achieve faster and longer lasting benefits than from just using testosterone replacement alone.
Finally, it helps to recognize when chronic stress has become too much of a factor in your life, and recognize the symptoms of low testosterone if you are having them. If this means you, what can you do to reduce the amount of stress in your life? Getting a good enough amount of sleep and taking some time to relax are two very powerful and simple ways to boost your testosterone and your health in general.
Acne—Is It That Chocolate You Ate?
Is it that chocolate you ate, or the mocha latte, or the dairy or gluten that caused that last acne break-out? These thoughts are common to many who deal with acne, and unfortunately the body doesn't make it very clear which outside influences have a direct effect on those pesky pimples. Eventually, every food can become scary to eat, and everything you put on your face or body can make you wonder whether the ingredients will alter the physiology needed to keep your skin clear. It is challenging to live with acne, and even more so when the fear of acne flares exists alongside that. The good news is, many times your hormone levels can give you insights on why acne is happening and how to effectively heal from it. The hormones will probably have more to teach you than your chocolate bar.
Hormones that can lead to acne include cortisol (the body's stress hormone), female hormones like estrogen and progesterone, and androgens such as testosterone. The hormones in and of themselves don't cause acne, but when prolonged periods of stress disrupt the balance of hormones, the body is more susceptible to chronic health issues such as acne. Stress also puts a burden on many lifestyle factors that are necessary for healthy skin, such as restful sleep habits and balanced diet. We tend to take less care of ourselves during times of extreme stress. The mainstream messages of today that anything you eat might lead to acne makes the problem even worse. Fearing the food you eat can bring on more stress, more hormone imbalance, and more acne. It can become a cycle.
Instead of focusing on how the environment is an assault to the skin, it's best to take a moderate approach to outside influences and look inward instead. Sure, it's true that external factors such as food sensitivities and unclean air can affect the body, especially in excess. However, chances are that the food you've been eating since childhood is not the sole cause of acne into adulthood. What is clear is that stress can exert intense effects on the body the longer it lasts. So it can be helpful to ask yourself, "How have I been feeling lately?" and "What types of stress have I been going through for a while?"
In addition to asking these check-in questions, it can also be helpful to see a naturopathic or medical doctor who specializes in natural hormone balancing. The doctor can help you rule in or out any effects of hormone disruptions on your skin, and the treatments they use to balance hormones can help with other areas of health too, such as sleep, stress reduction, healthy appetite, weight management, and better energy overall.
Hormones perform many important functions that affect how the body works, including the health of your skin. Next time you're eying your chocolate or latte with suspicion, ask yourself whether it makes more sense that stress and hormone imbalance might be leading to acne more than your favorite treat.
What's Missing in Treating Acne
When it comes to healing acne, relying on specific treatments alone seldom does the trick. Those who deal with acne symptoms know the frustration of trying product after product, treatment after treatment (whether they are natural or conventional in nature). After a while, it can start to feel like nothing will work and then the desire to give up can set in.
Don't give up! You can dig deep and get the results you want with your skin. Marissa Nevel, a second-year U.C. Berkeley student studying Nutritional Science-Physiology and Metabolism, talks about how to approach acne-prone skin in a balanced way from both physical and emotional angles. Read her insightful skin care article titled "What's Missing in Treating Acne" at the link below:
What's Missing in Treating Acne
The Truth about Belly Weight
Unwanted or excess belly weight can be frustrating to get rid of, even with healthy eating habits and exercise. Why is this?
The truth is that belly fat can be a product of more than just what we eat and how how many calories we burn. Factors such as stress, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and poor sleep are all related to the belly area and can block efforts when it comes to a healthy midsection.
Instead of isolating the belly area in your mind and just thinking of it as "excess weight," try and recognize the role this area plays in the body as a whole. The belly houses the digestion, part of the immune system, part of the nervous system, and a lot of circulation. Taking care of the belly's health, in addition to diet and exercise efforts, will give you more bang for your buck in keeping belly weight off. Here are some healthy lifestyle tips that can help you do just that.
Investigate Lifestyle Habits Other than diet and exercise, think about which lifestyle habits may be contributing to weight gain around the midsection. In order for belly weight to be healthy, the energy running through the midsection has to be flowing too. Common factors that can block energy flow include chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of water (and circulation) to the area, unexplored hormone imbalances, and extreme or unsupportive eating habits. A little detective work can shine light on why your belly may not be feeling its best. We'll talk more possible factors in the next several sections.
Avoid a Sluggish Digestion Are meals energizing your belly and your body, or do they make you feel sluggish? Heavy meals with portions that are beyond what your body can handle don't get processed smoothly. They can also lead to constipation and bloating, making belly weight more pronounced. Limiting meal sizes based on your actual hunger, and paying attention to how you feel after meals, can help bring balance back to your digestion. Don't let digestion get too sluggish. Food should provide more energy, not a heavy feeling.
Pay Attention to When You Eat Do your hunger growls usually get out of control? You may be waiting too long to eat, which places stress on the body and releases more of the stress hormone called cortisol. While cortisol is able to bring you the fuel you need in between meals, it also predisposes your belly to weight gain. Waiting too long to eat also increases the chance of overeating during the next meal. Try to support your cortisol curve and lower stress by eating meals when you're hungry and not depriving the body of its needed energy, when it needs it.
Try Not to Neglect Stress and Emotions The digestive system houses an important part of the nervous system, and that is why sometimes you actually do feel emotions "in your gut." Anxiety, anger, stress, and any emotion can be felt in the gut and when these emotions aren't processed, they can actually affect how your digestion runs. A stressed belly can lead to chronic constipation and bloating and can also affect how the belly stores fat. Chronic cortisol release happens as part of this cycle. Sometimes when it's time to get "stuff off your chest," it can be helpful for getting stuff "off your belly" too in terms of chronic stress and stuck emotions. It can be helpful to start an adrenal support formula that suits you for additional support in stress management.
Strengthen the Core A strong core isn't just for appearances. While it's not necessary to strive for a 6-pack, general core strength helps reduce stress on the low back and also helps the body's balance and overall energy flow. Core exercises can be simple and easy to perform, even enjoyable and relaxing. Light yoga, pilates, dance, and balance poses just a couple times a week can help your midsection feel stronger. A stronger midsection promotes healthier circulation to the belly, supports the digestion, and helps you stand taller. All of these benefits discourage a pouching out of the midsection.
Keep Sugar Away From the Belly Sugar is fun to enjoy once in a while, but too much of it invites belly fat. Excessive sugar creates large spikes in blood glucose. The blood glucose can enter cells or be stored for later, but the leftover can easily get stored in the belly area. These spikes along with an increase in belly fat can also lead to insulin resistance over time, leading to even more weight gain. It's fine to enjoy sugar as a treat, but try to avoid making it a prominent food group in your diet.
Look at Potential Hormone Imbalances Hormones can play a big part in creating belly fat without us even realizing it. Hormone balance is important for healthy metabolism and when their levels are disrupted from stress and other lifestyle factors, the scales can become tipped toward weight gain (usually around the belly) instead of balanced weight. Other signs of hormone imbalances can include P.M.S., mood swings, irritability, bloating, low libido, increased hot flashes, and low energy. If belly fat continues to be stubborn and hard to lose, it may be time to explore where hormone levels are at and consider natural hormone balancing. You can get levels easily checked through a lab's salivary testing (examples: Labrix or ZRT labs) and by visiting a health care provider who specializes in hormone balancing for women or men.
Sleep Off Belly Weight You can't literally sleep off belly weight, but your sleep habits can definitely promote or hinder a fitter midsection. Hormones that are essential to healthy weight and stress management are replenished during sleep hours at night. For those who don't experience regular or restful sleep, these hormones can become disrupted and lead not only to more belly fat, but also to habits that encourage weight gain around the midsection.
Sugar and carbohydrate cravings can go up, attachment to caffeine often increases, and portion control can go out the window. Poor sleep puts the body in stress mode, and as we talked about earlier, a stressed body tends to store more weight around the belly. Try working on a regular sleep schedule that gives you a decent amount of sleep so you can feel rested in the morning. If sleep continues to be a challenge, seek help from a health provider. An integrative health provider can take a look at your whole health profile and suggest natural therapies to try for more balanced sleep.
Avoid the Militant Mindset
What's more enjoyable: doing something because you want to do it, or doing something because you're forced into it?
For many of us, it's more satisfying to do things when we feel like doing them. Yet, in life and in health it's easy to develop a militant mindset in which we become overly strict and focused on rules that we impose on ourselves. Not only does a militant frame of mind make us overly critical of ourselves and our lifestyle, it also takes us farther away from what we truly want. A lot of times, this mindset can block you from asking yourself what you want altogether.
Being healthy in life doesn't have to involve pain and suffering. The image comes to mind of clocking five days a week at the gym, drinking green-colored smoothies every morning, tolerating handfuls of supplements, keeping up with fear-based research on what food is healthy versus not, and nervously eying the weight scale. Is this a picture of health in your mind, and is this how you want to live?
Ask yourself where in your life you're excessively militant toward yourself. We can all benefit by easing back from rigid and forceful approaches in life. Let yourself have some leeway throughout your days, and see what you can learn about yourself and your health in the process. You may find that the militant approach is stemming from your fears rather than your true inclinations. This mindset often gives us the false impression that we're in control of everything when we're actually nervous about uncertainties in life. Fears and worries still bubble underneath the militant mindset, no matter how much we're convinced we're doing everything "right."
It's easy to spring to the "have to's" and "musts" first thing in the morning. Try a different approach once in a while so you can practice avoiding the militant mindset. Ask yourself what you want to do for a change. Doing things when you feel like doing them, whenever possible, sparks real energy behind your actions and puts a natural spring in your step. This practice also helps you to be less critical and judgmental toward yourself, as well as less punishing about "not doing the right thing." Consider that if you're doing what you want, then it is the right thing and perhaps the best thing for your health.
This week, challenge yourself to step away from the militant mindset, and see how much more you can enjoy yourself and health in the process.
Take Charge of Your Fears
We all have "those moments" come up. The moments that seem to paralyze our bodies and minds, shake up all notions of who we are, and to suggest that we don't have what it takes. FEAR. Whatever form it takes and however daunting it appears, fear actually isn't a bad four-letter word. When fear comes up in life, it presents a unique opportunity for us to learn and to grow. We all have fears, and whether they stop us in our tracks or propel us forward toward what we want—depends on what we do with them.
There is a tendency to want to ignore fears, fix them, and hope they'll go away on their own without the attention they're asking for. We can start to believe that the messages the fears seem to be sending us are true, and we seek to avoid them even further. On top of that, there are often internally- and externally-sparked messages that if we feel fear, that we're weak and lacking in courage.
The truth is, there can be no courage in life without fear. There also can't be real excitement, determination, enjoyment, and pride. Squashing out the natural emotion of fear in life tends to squash out life in general and limits how we express ourselves as unique individuals. When fear is knocking loudly on the door, it's asking us to open up to something new in life, and it's often something that we're ready to handle at that point. If we ignore the fear, it keeps knocking anyway while waiting to be noticed. Eventually, we can start to feel scared of even being afraid and this suppression takes up much of our time and energy.
There is no solution to fear, and there doesn't need to be. Fear is a natural and potentially energizing part of life, and its source in the body is closely tied to the same place excitement comes from too. Both the feelings of fear and excitement release similar hormones and neurotransmitters in the body. Instead of letting fears take us over and rule how we live, we can learn to take more charge of them. Acknowledging fears as part of reality allows us to take pressure off of ourselves and the need to be perfect. Instead, we can learn our way through the scary experiences. If we let ourselves face fears and process them, we can use the energy that is contained within them to live life how we want.
Luckily, there's no magic trick to facing fears. They're actually right in front of our faces and waiting to be noticed, if we allow space in our lives for them. Start by opening the door that fear is knocking on and saying, "I feel scared of _____________."
Anxiety Relief From Homeopathy
Homeopathy can be helpful for treating symptoms of anxiety and other ailments that tend to cluster with it, including hormone imbalances, skin symptoms, allergies, and digestive symptoms. While certain treatments target anxiety specifically, they can miss the mark in treating the whole picture of anxiety which is both physical as well as mental-emotional.
Homeopathy is a therapeutic and energy-based medicine that is effective at treating not only specific symptoms, but also the whole person who is experiencing symptoms. For example, a homeopathic remedy recommended for one person's eczema symptoms may differ from a remedy suggested to someone else. Why? The word "eczema" is a label, while the quality of the actual symptoms experienced vary from person to person.
During an intake, Dr. Patel asks detailed questions about the anxiety, what triggers it, what makes it feel better or worse, and how long it's been occurring. The intake itself can feel therapeutic, because questions are asked in an open-ended manner. This style of intake allows the patient to speak freely and direct his/her own description of the symptom(s) without being interrupted.
Homeopathic practitioners also ask about any related symptoms the person is experiencing alongside anxiety. Common symptoms that can piggy-back with anxiety include fatigue, skin conditions and sensitivities (such as acne, eczema, and rosacea), digestive issues, sleep problems, P.M.S. symptoms, worsening of menopause symptoms, irregular cycles, and a host of other chronic complaints. As the patient realizes the connections between anxiety and these other symptoms, they gain more tools to help improve not only the anxiety, but also the whole body's health.
Questions also explore unique preferences, personality, pet peeves, food cravings, and anything else that describes the individual. Using the thorough intake, the provider picks a remedy that best fits with the overall health and symptom picture of the patient. Each remedy is made from diluted amounts of natural plant or mineral substances, and it acts by sparking the body's own innate vitality and healing ability.
After a month, there is a follow-up visit to check in on symptoms. Because homeopathy is gentle, it can be taken alongside other integrative (both natural and conventional) treatments. As part of a complete treatment plan, homeopathy can be a valuable tool in helping relieve symptoms of anxiety, and other related symptoms, in a personalized way that treats the whole person.
Stressing About Stress
Stress can reach a whole new level when we become chronically stressed about: being stressed. Stress is a natural occurrence in life. When it comes up, it's felt on both a mental and physical level. Often, we let the mental aspect of stress take over and we may even ignore the physical signals that the body is sending.
Have you ever had a stressful day where all you do is think about it over and over again? The body may be tired and want rest, the digestive system may protest, and sleep can get disrupted. Still, the thoughts about stress can remain dominant. Eventually, thoughts about stress can become the norm, no matter what actually happens during each day and week.
The body acts through homeostasis, which means that it tries to keep its internal environment stable and the same each day. It gets accustomed to keeping around damaging influences on the body as much as it does beneficial ones. Why? It resists change. Your body can keep stress around beyond naturally existing levels if your mind spurs it on that way.
Stressing about stress is like a positive feedback loop, egging itself on unless something is done about it. This habit can affect the body both short- and long-term as it leads to greater physical stress and encourages us to neglect how we're feeling. Dealing with this stress loop can be challenging, but paying attention when it's happening is half the battle. Here are a handful of other tips on working through the stress loop:
- Don't forget the body! Try to come back to it and attend to physical signs of stress that you notice, which can include chronic fatigue, sleep issues, indigestion, mood swings, irritability, and other chronic (daily) symptoms.
- When you feel stuck thinking about a stressful situation over and over again, ask yourself how much the thoughts are actually helping you through the situation.
- Are there favorite activities you're no longer doing because the stress loop is taking up your time? Re-evaluate whether your time feels best spent this way.
- Do the stressful thoughts sound like a recording that has been playing for a long time, without any change? Push pause for a moment and ask yourself honestly what you're feeling right now.
- Picture yourself dealing with this same stress loop months from now. Can you picture things differently, and what might it take to get there?
Worth Your Time
What is worth your time?
There is so much out there in the world today, and there isn't enough time to do or see it all. Supporting health involves picking and choosing which pursuits are worth spending your time on. It might seem urgent to attend to everything all at once, and it's also a subliminal message of the fast-paced world we live in. Being stretched in many different directions has its limits, however, and can ultimately lead to more stress than you need. It can also hamper enjoyment in what you ultimately spend your time doing.
Being busy is okay, but it's helpful to prioritize what's worth busying yourself over. Are there certain areas of life where you've been craving more action, versus other areas where you'd like to feel more calm and less stress? No need to whip out a big To-Do list to prioritize what you want: it's helpful to feel it first. Relax and try to picture what types of pursuits you'd like to bring more of your energy to. Leave the doubts and worries out of it for now. Let it be a simple exercise that helps you consider the possibilities of how to spend more of your time, your way.
Time may feel like it's against us sometimes, but often it's asking us to make choices regarding what matters to each of us the most. Time is more than just a number. So, what's worth your time?
Patience Can Help
What is patience?
Patience is valuable in many aspects of life, including health, and it can take practice. Even though it involves waiting, it isn't passive. Even though it can take take time, and often more time than trying to force an outcome to happen, it's not made up of empty time. Patience involves the ability to accept that while not everything is within your control, there are things within reach that you can do to help you get what you want.
Impatience can often set in from the fear that things won't work out, and that if you hurry things up or control situations you can increase the chances. It can be challenging to relax the feeling that everything has to be under control at all times. Fears may arise that it will all fall apart and head in a direction you don't want. Outside of control, life is happening and there's a natural flow to it. That natural flow is more accessible when you invite patience to take part in what's important to you. Will you always know the outcome? No, but the outcome may turn out to be more your style than if you'd decided beforehand how things should turn out.
Patience isn't always the most comfortable feeling in the moment, but in the long run it can help set a healthy pace and rhythm to life and opportunities. It can also give you a chance to clearly picture what you want in life. What areas of life have you felt rushed or impatient about, and how can you breathe more patience into them?

Gloversville department at full staff with new police officer
The Gloversville Police Department is now at full staff, having just hired the second female officer in its history and the first within the past 20 years.
Joining the department is Jillian Faville; her first day is today.
Chief Donald VanDeusen said Faville is "a good candidate and I believe she will fit in well with the quality of officers we have in the department."
Faville is a recent graduate of the police academy. She had initially gone through the academy as a recruit with the Utica Police Department but was laid off with several weeks to go in her training. She then worked with the Dolgeville Police Department and completed her training with them. She worked full time with Dolgeville and part time with the Herkimer County Sheriff's Office before being hired by Gloversville.
With her hiring, the Gloversville Police Department is at 30 officers. Her starting pay is $37,544.
VanDeusen said Faville applied for a job with the department and met Civil Service and police department requirements. He called her hiring a lateral transfer, since she came from a sister police agency.
VanDeusen said Faville's gender was not a factor in her hiring, but having diversity on a police force is important. "Diversity is always something we are looking for. It benefits the department as a whole," he said.
A female officer can perform some functions male officers cannot do, such as processing female suspects, but in the end, she will be expected to do the same job other officers are expected to do, VanDeusen said.
"I do not want this hiring to take anything away from the overall way I view the police department here. I view the department here as very good, and she is one part of a good department that we already have," he said.
The last female police officer in Gloversville was Marjorie Jones, who served from 1982 until her retirement in 1994. She is now a sitting Mayfield town justice.

Evaluation of the Signa Excite 3.0 T MRI Excite for Detection and Characterization of Liver Lesions
Magnetic resonance imaging is taken with scanners at different magnetic field strength.
The current practice at UTMDACC is to perform these exams at 1.5 Tesla. Tesla is the unit
of strength of the magnetic field. This study will compare the images taken at the standard
1.5 Tesla (T) magnetic field with those at the newer 3.0T magnetic field.
You are already scheduled to receive a standard 1.5 T MR of the liver area as requested by
your doctor. As part of this study, you will then be asked to return on a separate date to
have a similar exam performed with the Signal 3.0T Excite MR scanner. You will return within
a two week period from the date of your first MRI examination. The examination will be
performed in a machine that looks similar to the 1.5T scanner. It will also take about the
same amount of time as the examination at 1.5T.
The images taken by both scanners will be evaluated and compared. After you have had the
second scan, your participation in this study will be over. If there are new findings
identified with the new scan your doctor will be notified.
This is an investigational study. The 3.0T scan will be performed free of charge. A total
of 20 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at UTMDACC.
This protocol is partially funded by a research grant from General Electric Medical Systems

A look back at the life and career of Steve Prescott
Mike Hall takes a look back at the life and career of Saints legend Steve Prescott who died today aged 39.
Saints star Prescott 'a hero'
The RFL says Steve Prescott MBE was a true hero. He died earlier today at the age of 39 after a long illness. He was capped by both England and Ireland at international level and had successful spells with St Helens and Hull FC.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this terribly sad time. The word 'hero' is overused in sport but Steve was just that: a role model for every young Rugby League player during his distinguished playing career and an absolute inspiration to all of us off the field. Throughout his long illness Steve was never anything other than dignified, noble and brave, not least during his fantastic charity work through the Steve Prescott Foundation which raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes. He is going to be much missed."

I am planing on putting ribbon around the edge of the foam core board. Would I have to use royal icing or something edible to glue it? Could I just use glue, or would it be to close to the cake? Thanks for any suggestions.
I use a hot glue gun.. works great..
Thanks so much, that's what I had in mind.
...yep, me too, hot glue gun
Also, what do you use to cut the foam core with?
I use 1/2" double-side tape -- that way you don't see the lines from the glue gun. I've tried so many things to cut the foam core. My latest is the hot craft knife. It's like a heated exacto knife. Works pretty good on the 1/2". An exacto knife works fine on 1/4" foamcoe.
I have the hot knife also.. cuts like butter
AND I use hot glue also
oooohhh.....hot knife sounds like the way to go!!!
But I use an exacto knife cuz thats what I got
Hmmm....where to find a hot knife....?????
I got mine at wally world LOL ... and it was in a set with about a dozen other attachements (craft section). It had a knife attachement..embossing attachments..stamping..etc... it was in a plastic case.. .look near the wood burning tools
I asked about one of those hot knives at Michael's and they looked at me like I was from Mars. I have terrible luck using an exacto to cut foam core. It looks like doo doo when I do do it.
I got heated exacto knife at Michaels. It's in the section with the wood items, with the woodburning sets. I used a coupon and it was every inexpensive and works perfectly!
I use fabric glue (Hobby Lobby fabric section) to attach ribbon to foam boards. I guess it's probably like the glue sticks in most arts & crafts depts.
I got heated exacto knife at Michaels. It's in the section with the wood items, with the woodburning sets. I used a coupon and it was every inexpensive and works perfectly!
Thanks! I'll look there tomorrow! I've got coupons burning a hole in my pocket! I also use a glue stick to apply ribbon to the foam core. Just a regular school gluestick.
It's called Creative Hot Knife by Walnut Hollow, My grandaughter got one for herself & me from Michaels. It works so well. I use a low heat glue gun to put my ribbon on the foam core.
Ah! excellent! Thank you!
I hate the hot knife. I can cut so much faster and less stinkier with a #2 craft knife blade. It takes 2 passes to cut 1/2-inch foamcore, but it still goes a lot faster - and neatly too.

Mark Udall, who serves on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, thanked his colleagues for quickly and unanimously approving legislation to allow survivor benefits to be paid to families of fallen U.S. service members. Udall said this episode, however, only underscores the problems the ongoing, politically driven shutdown is causing for Coloradans and families across the country.
"Our troops in harm's way should have no doubt that their families will be well taken care of should tragedy strike. Unfortunately, that sacred trust was broken by this partisan government shutdown," Udall said. "I am proud the U.S. Senate quickly passed this bill, but this consequence of the shutdown only highlights the damaging and entirely foreseeable effects this self-inflicted crisis is having on Coloradans and families across the country. The American public has made it extremely clear that they expect Congress to end this shutdown and avert a government default on its obligations."
Udall has been a strong and stalwart supporter of military families. Shortly before the shutdown began, Udall introduced bipartisan legislation to ensure the nation's military families would not have their paychecks delayed. Udall also has actively urged the Department of Defense to do everything it can to protect military service members and their families from predatory lending schemes.

A short path leads to the covered porch and front door. The hallway opens to a spacious, open-plan living area.

When we opened the blinds first thing in the morning, we were greeted by an amazing view from the Balcony that really added to the superb and I have to say, very spacious feel of the Villa. The pool is a great size, and well maintained - as is the whole Villa. The walk into town is great, not too far, and a nice distance to walk off the good food on the way back. There is a good range of restaurants in Town, and I didn't think the prices were too bad. We found there was a good range of supermarkets in easy drive, with the Villa also well situated for easy drives to a range of local spots to snorkel or visit beaches etc. The air conditioning was great at night, along with the Villa's overall facilities. We found the Balcony area was great for BBQ's. The decor and furnishings are all modern, which provides a nice positive feel to the Villa. There is secure off road parking for 2 cars, which I liked. We drove from Alicante airport, which was approximately 50 minutes. This was a nice easy distance, and overall the route is very straight forward. So, all in all, a fabulous Villa, perfect distance from the airport. The whole family whole-heartedly agreed we had a fantastic time. Thanks!
We had a fantastic time in Moraira staying at Casa Alba. Everything about the villa was amazing. It's all fitted out to a high standard. The kitchen/diner/lounge are perfect but to be honest we didn't spend much time inside. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner on the terrace and could spend all evening out there as well if we wanted. We used the barbecue almost every day! The pool is massive and someone came to clean it whilst we were there. We walked into the town (village) 4 times whilst we were there even though we had the car and though it's not "on the doorstep" it is a very pleasant walk. Overall it was a great holiday and we hope to go back to Casa Alba again this year!

The Cession
After Texas failed to be annexed into the US, President Polk decided that he would try to keep his word on his other campaign promises. He started with Oregon, and talks with Britain began. During the negotiations, he threatened to use military force, which is what caused the British to sell the territory. The British got $6.3 million for it, and all British settlers got US Citizenships.
After this, the British feared the US. They soon began to side with the Texans, and would later form the London-Austin Pact, an alliance between the two. The British would help the Texans grow to the size they are today by helping them beat Mexico in both Texan-Mexican wars. They would also help Texas industrialize. This greatly limited US expansion the South. and prevented them from gaining more land.

The Islanders were not too pleased with the officials following Friday night's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. Several missed calls and a phantom diving call on John Tavares after he had been crosschecked in the face really grinded the gears of the Islanders. Non-more so than Isles assistant coach Doug Weight.
After the officials announced the diving call on Tavares at 16:59 Doug Weight went off on the officials. Angrily screaming at the officials for several seconds before head coach Jack Capuano went over and restrained Weight.
His outburst on the bench would not be his last. After the final buzzer had sounded and the Maple Leafs had secured the win Weight gave one final send off to the officials.
As the players and coaches made their way off the ice Weight took a water bottle off the bench and started spraying water onto the ice. It is unclear as to who the Islanders assistant coach was directing the water at. But it is a safe assumption that it was directed somewhere towards the officiating crew. If that proves to be the case, Weight could be hearing from the league office regarding the matter.
Say what you will about the officials tonight, one thing is quite clear. Doug Weight will not be sending David Banfield or Don VanMassenhoven present this holiday season.
The Islanders lost a tough game against the New York Rangers last night at Madison Square Garden. PA Parenteau and Matt Moulson scored the Islanders only two goals of the night in the 4-2 lost. Tonight the Islanders will get their chance to move past the loss when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Coliseum.
The Leafs are entering tonight's game fresh off a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres last night. James Reimer stopped 40 shots in the win. David Steckel, Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri all scored goals in the Leafs win. Prior to the win, the Leafs were on a three game losing streak.
The leafs enter the holiday matchup against Islanders without the services of Colby Armstrong and Philippe Dupuis, who were both placed on injured reserve this past week. Armstrong is out with a concussion and Dupuis is out with an upper body injury.
No word on who will start in net for the Maple Leafs.
The Islanders will start Evgeni Nabokov tonight. He is 2-8-0 through 10 games and posted a 2.69 goals against average and a .914 save percentage. The Islanders will also feature the same lineup they had during last night's game against the Rangers.
Last season the Islanders and Maple Leafs split the season. The Islanders won the first and last game; a 2-1 win on October 18, 2010 and a 4-3 win on March 8, 2011. The Maple Leafs won the two middle games; a 5-3 win on February 8, 2011 and a 2-1 win on February 22,2011.
Tonight will be the first time the Islanders and Maple Leafs will meet this season.
Pre-Game Reading:
- The Maple Leafs are hoping to turn around their odd record on the day of Friday. (Globe & Mail)
- The Islanders will face their former head coach, Scott Gordon, for the first time since he was dismissed on November 15, 2010. (Newsday)
- Don't hold you breath for the Winter Classic to come to New York until at least 2014. (Newsday)
- The Leafs may have a little "Beiber Fever." He skated with the team during Thursday's morning skate along with a young man who was part of Make-A-Wish Canada. (Globe & Mail)

The Islanders fell to the Dallas Stars 3-2 last night after the Stars came from behind off two unanswered goals in the third period. James Benn's wrist shot 4:33 into the third period would prove to be the game-winning goal.
The Islanders were outplayed for a majority of the loss and were outshot 29-27.
In his first NHL start of the season Kevin Poulin stopped 26 of 29 shots through 58:41 of ice time. He posted a .926 save percentage in the loss. Calvin de Haan, making his NHL debut, saw 13:01 of total ice time and finished the game with a plus-1 rating.
Loui Eriksson scored midway through the first period to give the Stars a 1-0 lead. Michael Grabner would tie the game at one at the 16:38 mark. Grabner was on the finishing end of a pass from Kyle Okposo.
The score would remain like that until Kyle Okposo gave the Islanders their first lead of the game with less than two minutes left in the second period. Okposo entered the Stars zone and shot the puck from the left hand face-off circle. His shot found its way through Stars goaltender Richard Bachman and Okposo followed through on the play and pushed the puck over the goal line.
The lead would be short lived. 1:07 into the third period Brendan Morrow tied the game on a power play goal scored 10 seconds into the man advantage. Three minutes later Benn scored the game winner.
The Isles will take on the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.no comments
It is Calvin de Haan who will join the Islanders for tonight's game. The de Haan call up was made official this morning. Last night reports indicated it would be either de Haan or Aaron Ness who would be called up in the wake of an injury to Steve Staios.
The injury to Staios is being called "an upper body injury" by the team, but reports indicate that he is suffering from concussion like symptoms.
Kevin Shultz of Islanders Point blank is reporting that Jack Capuano is leaning towards pairing de Haan with Dylan Reese due to the Sound Tigers familiarity. This will be de Haan's first NHL game in his young career.
Also called up was goaltender Kevin Poulin. The call up was in response to Rick Dipietro being placed on injured reserve retroactive to December 3. Poulin will make his season debut tonight when he starts against the Dallas Stars.no comments
The Islanders will have a fresh face on their roster when they take on the Dallas Stars tomorrow night. Newsday's Arthur Staple reported that either Aaron Ness or Calvin de Haan would be called up due to concussion like symptoms felt by Steve Staios.
Staios will miss tomorrow's game due to NHL concussion protocol and Staples says that the Islanders may need Ness or de Haan longer than just one game.
Through 22 games de Haan has two goals and six assists for eight points for the Sound Tigers. Ness has appeared in four more games than de Haan and has posted two goals and eight assists for 10 points. Both players are viewed as high-level defensive prospects for the Islanders.
Expect an announcement by tomorrow afternoon.no comments
Ryan Strome, the Islanders fifth overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft, made the final roster for the Canadian team that will compete in the 2012 World Junior Championships.
Ryan Strome and Team Canada Will open the tournament against Finland on Monday, December 26, at Rexall Place.
Strom has spent the 2011-12 season with the Niagara Ice Dogs of the OHL. There he has scored 16 goals and contributed 17 assists for 33 points in 24 games. Strome spent a week with the Islanders before he was returned to the Ice Dogs.
Islander fans got their first taste of how talented Strome is during the skills competition of the Blue and White game in July.
By Daniel Friedman
Last night's game in Montreal was one the New York Islanders will wish
to soon forget.
The Canadiens were able to grab the two points by defeating the Isles
5-3 at the Bell Centre. Don't let the (relatively) close score fool
you: This was a mismatch from the opening face-off, and though the
Isles would eventually wake up, it'd just be too little, too late.
New York got off to a solid start and even notched the first goal in
this contest, a Matt Moulson tally off a gorgeous feed from, who else,
P.A. Parenteau, giving the Islanders a 1-0 lead. It was, however,
short-lived. Just 1:25 later, Andrei Kostitsyn chipped and chased the
puck, beating the Isles' defense and then their goaltender, Al
Montoya, to tie the game at one apiece. Not long after their first
marker, the Habs would get a second. This time it was Mathieu Darche,
who's weak slap shot somehow sneaked through Montoya's pads and into
the back of the net, putting Montreal ahead 2-1.
There was no scoring in the middle frame, but plenty of it in the
third. P.K. Subban, David Desharnais and Erik Cole combined for a
dizzying tic-tac-toe powerplay goal, with the latter finishing off the
play. At that point, the Habs were up by two and appeared to be in
command of this hockey game.
Fortunately, that notion didn't sit too well with Josh Bailey and John
Tavares. Both forwards scored a little over six minutes apart, through
hard work and patience with the puck, and just like that, the
Islanders had knotted things up.
But it was the Habs who would get the last laugh, as ex-Islander
Petteri Nokelainen's slapper got past everyone, including the
goaltender, to regain the lead for Montreal. It was just the second
goal of the season for Nokelainen and a big one at that. The Isles
would get a few more quality scoring chances but could not convert.
Hal Gill sealed the deal with an empty-net goal, his first of the
