Sheri has been with WSECU for an amazing 39 years. In fact, we're the only financial institution she's ever worked for. From the moment she started here in May 1974, she knew this was the place to be. The people, pay, and benefits were the best in town and she loved working in an office doing important things for all kinds of different people. It tied in perfectly with her desire to help out wherever she can in life.
She thinks our members are especially great (don't we all!) and because they're all part of the community, she likes getting to know each and every one of them.
When she's away from the office, Sheri likes to build things, with an emphasis on making old things look new again. And like any good Pacific Northwesterner, she likes to fish, hunt, camp and hike.
Your perspective is important to us and helps us see where we're hitting the mark and where there might be areas to improve.
Why is this important?

ĹOnly the Strongĺ (PG-13)By Richard Harrington
Washington Post Staff Writer
August 27, 1993
Capoeira is a rhythm-rooted martial arts discipline that originated as a sort of rural break dance in Brazil in the 16th century, when black slaves disguised its purpose from their masters by layering the illusion of dance over its true purpose of self-defense. Based on African rituals of dance and chanting, capoeira receives its first significant exposure in "Only the Strong," a film that fails to mention its historic context. As a result, it ends up as nothing more than a fresh martial arts flavor wasted in a typically inept update on "The Blackboard Jungle."
Having picked up on capoeira while serving as a Green Beret adviser in Brazil, Louis Stevens (Mark Dacascos) comes home to Miami to find his old high school overrun by drugs and violence. When he kicks a drug dealer's butt during lunch hour, Louis is suddenly saddled with the school's culturally diverse equivalent of the Dirty Dozen and challenged to turn them around by teaching them capoeira. Naturally, they resist, but since capoeira is taught through an irresistible dance rhythm, it's just a matter of time before they're won over. Plus, they are learning to really kick butt.
Unfortunately, one of the boys, Orlando (Richard Coca), is already caught up in a life of crime and, wouldn't you know it, his cousin Silverio is not only a petty crime boss but also from the barrio, where he too learned capoeira. As Silverio, the charmingly feral Paco Christian Prieto is bad to the bone -- and to others' bones. Unless you know genre convention, you might actually bet on him.
But genre convention requires that the good guy win, even when confronted with buzz saws, steel poles, acetylene torches and machetes, and when outnumbered 20 to 1. Dacascos, son of martial arts teachers and champions and a champion in his own right, is as handsome as he is agile, and capoeira's graceful athleticism suits him well. But Dacascos is a bit too mild-mannered an actor and his voice is too gentle -- particularly contrasted with his fighting presence. When he's not handling testosterone eruptions by his students, he even plays kissy-face with Dianna (Stacey Travis, the only woman in the film with a speaking part, and a small one at that).
Because of its rhythmic roots, capoeira comes across as an intriguing discipline, and brings a much-needed freshness to the fight sequences, choreographed by Joselito "Amen" Santo (who had a capoeira dojo in Washington in the mid-'80s). If only the plot were a little less obvious, the confrontations a little less cliched.
Director Sheldon Lettich, who wrote the script with Luis Esteban, was also responsible for Jean-Claude Van Damme's "Double Impact" and "Lionheart." Lettich may have seen Dacascos as a new martial arts franchise, but it's going to be a while before he turns him into a profitable one.

University of Pennsylvania men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy has been offered the La Salle head-coaching job, ESPN.com's Andy Katz has learned. Dunphy is said to be seriously considering the offer.
Dunphy, who has won eight Ivy league championships in his 15 seasons at Penn, is a 1970 graduate of La Salle University.
If Dunphy declines La Salle's offer, the school may turn to Maine coach John Giannini, who interviewed for the La Salle job in 1991, sources told the Philadelphia Inquirer for Tuesday's editions.
Billy Hahn resigned as coach after two of his former players were
charged with raping a 19-year-old woman who had been working at a
youth basketball camp run by John Miller, the coach of La Salle's
women's basketball team. Miller also resigned.
During the investigation that led to those charges, a second
woman came forward and allegedly told police she had been sexually
assaulted by another male basketball player at La Salle in 2003
while she was a member of the women's team.
The woman said she had informed both Miller and Hahn that she
had been assaulted, but decided not to file charges when the
coaches discouraged her from doing so, police said.
Hahn acknowledged speaking to the woman about her problems with
the male player, but said his decision not to contact authorities
or school administrators was made at her request.
Hahn's lawyer, Nick Nastasi, called the coach's failure to go to
police "an honest mistake."
"When a serious allegation like this is made, coaches cannot
extend that confidentiality to a player," Nastasi said. "If a
student has that kind of problem, they shouldn't put their coaches
in that position of requesting confidentiality."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I'd like to introduce you to a delicious dessert that involves graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow, but has nothing to do with a campfire. This tasty treat is a Marshmallow Cookie Sandwich from Martha Stewart. It's sort of a modern day Moon Pie with chocolate dipped graham crackers and a wonderful homemade marshmallow filling. My daughter and I made homemade marshmallows recently and not only were they easy to make, they tasted amazing, so don't be afraid to try them! You can assemble your sandwiches with store bought graham crackers or try Martha's Cinnamon and Sugar Graham Crackers for a completely homemade version. Dip them in chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts and you've got a little dessert that is great for so many occasions!

Plasterboard widespread material for decoration for various purposes.Features such finishes are almost limitless.
Today we talk about one of the ways.
Features wooden ceiling
GCR in a wooden house
Nowadays, not uncommon when using drywall ceilings are held not only in the homes of brick and concrete, and in wooden houses.
plasterboard in a wooden house can be both simple and multi-level.
As a rule, such a ceiling is arranged in two cases:
- ceiling coverings of a new home.
- ceiling coverings of the old house.
In both cases, this design allows a much easier finishing, allowing end up getting excellent coverage.Simple at first glance, when we look at the operation is not quite simple.
Uneasy simplicity
From our resources we have repeatedly described how devices from different ceilings of plasterboard.In all cases, the basic approach to the creation of the cover is almost identical for the small exceptions.
not an expert in this matt
But it is a common misconception.Fixing plasterboard to the wooden ceiling is not straightforward as it might seem at first sight, and it's like this.
Reconfiguration - the main problem
Any wooden structure - is primarily a mobile structure. Variations in temperature, humidity and natural shrinkage of the wood create the preconditions that the wooden structure is constantly moving in different directions, changing its configuration invisible to the eye.
Unlike wood, drywall deprived of such an opportunity:
- Suppose you set plasterboard ceiling in a wooden house in the usual way.
- still use special metal profiles and suspensions designed for this purpose.
- at the seams glued serpyanka by all the rules.
- ceiling primed, plastered and painted.
Cracks - the main headache
takes a certain time and you will notice on his previously perfect ceiling cracks formed in the joints of individual sheets.This fracture increases with each passing day.
you blame the builders, and when the installation was carried out with their own hands, poor-quality mixes.What incidentally, in our time is not uncommon.Spend
repeated repair, but after a while everything is repeated.
diagnosis - incorrect installation
What is the reason, which allowed a miss?
thing is that the installation of drywall on the wooden ceiling was implemented incorrectly.Fixed frame can withstand changes occurring with wooden house for predictable reasons.
we talked about them vyshe.Tak what to do, what to do?
This article is just meant to drywall on the wooden ceiling was carried out correctly, taking into account all the specific characteristics of the wooden structure.
basic rules for installation of GCR in a wooden house
little deviate from the topic.
If you plan to hold drywall coating not only at the ceiling, and walls, it is important to consider one small, but very important detail:
- mounting frame is carried out first on the ceiling and then the walls (sm.Karkas ceiling plasterboard- all the little things or little things do not happen.).
- In no case should not be connected together frame the ceiling and walls.Between them there must be a gap.
Our information - if you're worried that the gap between the walls and the ceiling will spoil the look of your home, it is quite wrong.
There is a wide variety of ceiling moldings, that can be used to cover the gap.In this case, a plinth mounting should also be performed on only one surface, the ceiling or wall.
meet this condition, you will provide sufficient space for shrinkage of wooden structures with no apparent impact on the external topcoat. As you can see the rules are simple, but their implementation will avoid major problems in the future.
Plasterboard and wood - correct installation
Now let us consider in detail the whole process:
- As in any other case, installing plasterboard coating, it all starts with the installation of the profile, carcass.
- note immediately attach it to the wooden structures must use the screws and in any case not nails.Screws have good holding power and perfectly included in the tree.
Our advice - if you buy screws pay attention to their destination.There are screws for metal, wood dowel.
Start installation
- installation begins, as in any other case, to determine the lowest point on the existing ceiling.
- In determining this point on the wooden ceiling, take this issue most closely.
- Unlike concrete structures, wooden elements may have differences of height in several places.
How to define these terms, we will not tell, this procedure is described in some detail in our pages.
first task
Circumstances demand that we again avoided the topic.
fact that arranging the ceiling in a wooden house should pay attention to the unit of the overlap.If you have an almost flat floor covered with boards this one case, but if you are in an overlapping beams is quite another.
In the beginning, we will consider with exposed beams.Why are we doing this?
Everything must be rationally
Such a position is quite clear, if we are talking about the device ceiling coverings in a new home.Agree, it is unreasonable to hold the rough ceiling boards when you are going to install subsequently coating GCR .
It is simply not sustainable and will lead to excess cost overruns.Of course, if the installation of the GCR made in the old, already a building, it is quite another matter.
Crate - proper fastening
- With a beam, you can certainly install on their frame made of metal profiles, but in this case you later encounter a problem installing insulation.
- Another important point is the distance between the beams.Depending on the size and span beams, this distance may vary between 500 mm and above.
In any case, the size is not suitable for fastening sheets GCR .
- Therefore, before installation, you must mount a crate of timber 30x40 , which subsequently will form the insulation.
- Fits across beams supporting beams at a distance 300 - 400 mm apart.
Before you perform installation of lathing, using staple gun, to shoot the joists vapor barrier.
device for frame we need:
- Profile CD (PP) profile ceiling.
- Profile UD (PN) Profile guide
- Suspensions
- Connectors single-level (Crab)
- Self
drawings - the right decision
Unlike conventional installation of the GCR, plasterboard ceiling in a wooden house begin to get directly to the installation of hangers.So
- Earlier we talked about the fact that the ceiling mount to the walls of the FCL can not.
- If we set around the perimeter of the profile UD, while shrinking the design we can not avoid problems.
Just because suspensions are not set out, quite difficult to correctly place the hangers in the right places.
Therefore, proceed as follows:
- Perform ceiling drawing room to scale.
- shown on the drawings the exact location of a log ceiling beams and purlins.
- Knowing the size of the sheet of the GCR, to properly place the profile in the drawing.
distance accommodation profile we described and will not be repeated.
- According to these data, mark up the location of the hangers.
Mounting frame - basic features
can only tie hangers, strictly following the drawing.
important - remember, UD profile is not attached to the wall is not not the ceiling, it is fixed directly on a CD profile.Therefore, the presence of the suspension on the edge of each profile CD required.
Then begins the installation frame:
- attached to the suspension profile CD.With the construction level, observe the location profiles on the horizon and each other.
- Regardless of the size of the sheet GCR profile should be placed on the two opposite edges of the ceiling.The gap between the profile and the wall must be at least 10 mm
- further from the end of profile CD set profile UD.This fixation is carried out directly on the profile CD.
- Using single-level connectors (crabs), set cross the bridge.
distance at which they are to be installed, we have described, simply repeat at every junction of GCR sheet have to be a jumper or a longitudinal profile.However, they must be placed exactly in the center seam.
Our reference - Many people wonder whether it is possible to use only timber frame?The answer may be, but it is advisable to use a special profile in terms of durability, reliability and convenience.
And the price for these products is low.
frame is ready, you need to install directly the GCR.Instructions on this issue is described in detail on our website, so we will touch on another matter.
Gain - wrong decision
Many people wonder how to fix plasterboard to the wooden ceiling, if he is at once the floor of the second floor?
not an idle question, and quite understandable.In case of insufficient rigidity of floor beams, floor, he's ceiling sags under the weight located on the second floor of furniture and living in the house.
This question will be discussed later, but now let's talk here about what:
- Sometimes, after you install the bad Dried lag occurs deformation as the drying .
- many tips to prevent this circumstance, before installing ceiling GCR fully sheathing board to fix the lag overlap.
- At the council we want to say the following, this recommendation does not lead to the desired result and a bad drying boards themselves for even greater deformation and cracking the ceiling seams GCR.
possible to avoid these consequences?You can, if used for the lag floors, well-dried wood, but we offer you a slightly different way.
«Sliding» ceiling - mounting hanger features
It is worth noting that our proposed method is also well suited for the coating of the FCL device for walls of wooden houses, where the drawdown can be up to 100 mm.In this case, one can not do the cracks, breaking drywall software.So
- method lies in the special mounting hangers.
- They do not just rigidly secured to wooden structures, and have a certain progress in the parties reaching 10 - 15 mm.
- This is achieved through the use of sliding supports to the rafters.
- Thus, profile CD has a free movement, providing the ability to resist deformation around the frame of wooden structures.
- tree, mixed, and the frame together with GCR remains in place.
Materials for the installation of the sliding frame
for devices of this framework we need:
- Profile CD
- Profile UD
- Suspensions
- Connectors single-level (Crab)
- Self
- Closed sliding support for the rafters
sliding bracket - the first step
Before installing hangers must perform some training sliding mounting.
- On-site suspension fasten sliding support.
- put through her suspension.
- Now you can set the profile to its place.
- In this connection, the suspension slides inside a sliding bearing on the axes.
- motion of individual beams overlap, is not reflected in the overall design of the ceiling.
- No preconditions for the formation of tension in some parts of the carcass.As a result, cracks and deformations, despite the considerable shrinkage of the wooden parts of the house.
Crab and sliding suspension
This is what we looked at how to arrange without suspension is transverse.
- When you need to establish a similar structure in the place of installation of single-level connectors, everything is repeated with the exception that in addition to the suspension attached crab.
- Arranging such a design, try to mount the bracket in such a way that the length of the suspension was as short as possible.
In any case, such a construction is very reliable and durable.
Fancy - the right device seams
Now it's time to talk about possible cracks were formed due to the deflection of the load beams sverhu.Dannaya situation is possible when applying the ceiling of the GCR in houses with rooms arranged in two tiers.
These fears are completely unfounded. Usually joists overlap are arranged in such a way and have such a cross section that a strong deflection is practically excluded.
If you are afraid of this situation, we recommend that you do the following:
- After the sheets of drywall installed, the time comes to putty joints joints of individual sheets.
- With Knife Adv carpentry joints so that their outer width of 5 mm , the angle of the bevel on both sides, was about 45 - 50 degrees .
- for spackling not use plastic putty type.Purchase can be in any specialty store.Using reinforcing
- serpyanka necessary.
If you do all the instructions, your ceiling will not be afraid of any external and internal influences on his frame.For this wooden house it is very important.

When my Suburu threw a fit, they said "It's going to cost more than it's worth, better to look for another car." A true expression of honesty!!! So they didn't try to get another deck for their boat out of me. By the way, who DO so many garage owners buy boats?

Competent and reasonably priced. (Several times they said "no-charge" when I left!) They have worked on 3 of our vehicles (2 Fords, 1 Volvo) over the past 9 years, and I've always been satisfied. Low overhead may help with their charges. (Shares a minimal waiting room with attached Midas dealer.) Patient & courteous with my zillion questions. The only bad thing is that I just moved out-of-state!

The best thing that happened to me and my car is that it failed the emissions test. That was how I found John's Auto Repair. I had to find a shop that was certified for NJ emission testing, so I went to Car Talk and found John's Auto repair (already with two positive comments). While waiting for my turn, one of the other customer's told me he was going to John's for ten years. All the other car owners appeared to be repeat customers also. When it was my my turn, John knew what the problem was and fixed it immediately. It was a minor adjustment, and there was no charge for the repair. The only thing John asked was that I call back to let him know if I passed inspection. My car did pass re-inspection. Not only was my car fixed, but the whole experience was great (I hate having to get my car fixed). I have since made an appointment to have work done on our other car. John is extremely friendly, polite and took the time to speak to each of his customers. Doctors should take a lesson from John on how to treat people with courtesy and respect.

My daughter-in-law happened to overhear people saying how good this shop is, and so, tried them. She was very satisfied and recommended them to me. I think I've died and gone to heaven when I go there! -They 'get me in' quickly, even when it's short notice (usually!) -They seem to know exactly what they are doing; give very good diagnoses and fair estimates -Never fail to offer transportation home and/or a loaner -They do the job right the first time -The bill has never made me shudder; they seem fair -I've never seen them try to 'tack on' extras, but do keep me informed of things that may need attention in the near future; no pushing at all. -Smaller things, but meaningful, are fresh coffee available, magazines of various types to entertain if I choose to wait (and many things are done 'while I wait', quickly) -Lastly, they are just really nice guys! I have never, ever, felt such trust in ANY service person, much less an auto repair shop; I am thrilled to have them at my service!

John's Auto Repair got me across the whole country. Best mechanic in the world. I really didn't do anything, it was all John and his auto repair. If you want to go anywhere, John can get you there. Where else would you go???

John Nicola, owner is extremely knowledgeable regarding automobiles no matter what year or make. More important he has compassion for his customers regardless of race, sex or age. In all my experiences with John's Auto Repair they never "Scewed Up". Therefore, I could not respond to that statement.

John and Craig and all if their guys have done great work on my car(s) for decades. I have recommended stranded family, from out of town and in a bind, to John's--and everyone has been immensely impressed.

I chose this mechanic after reading the great reviews for this shop in the neighborhood. The owner was absolutely rude and racist which made me feel compelled to create an account here and write a review. After I explained the problem and what I thought the cause might be, he plainly told me that if you understand so much you might as well fix it yourself. Then he went on asking me many questions as if I have tampered the car, check my knowledge, and eventually started to become rude with a racist attitude. I lost my temper after a little bit more of talking to the owner, and just left the shop. The guy might be good in his job based on prior reviews (I did not let him work on my car so I can not comment on his competency), but given the way that he treats his customers and his rude/racist attitude I would absolutely never recommend this shop to anyone. There are plenty of good mechanics just close by this shop so there is no need to give business to such rude/racist people.

ENGLAND'S Daniel Brooks remained in charge at the rain-ravaged Nelson Mandela Championship while Jorge Campillo and Colin Nel carded 59s.
Spain's Campillo and South African Nel both broke the 60 barrier although they will not enter the record books as preferred lies were allowed on Mount Edgecombe's saturated fairways.
Following lengthy delays on both Wednesday and Thursday, organisers were forced to reduce the European PGA tournament to 54 holes after another three-hour delay on Friday.
Campillo had two eagles and seven birdies to reach 11 under par while first-round leader Brooks was 12 under with seven holes of his second round remaining when darkness brought play to a halt. England's Matthew Baldwin shot a 62 to share the clubhouse lead with Campillo, with home favourites Branden Grace, Oliver Bekker and Dawie van der Walt on ten under.
"We play other par 70s on Tour, but you still have to shoot 59 and I'm pretty happy with the way I finished," said 27-year-old Campillo.
"I was never close to 59 before, but in the Dutch Open I was eight under with three holes to go on a par 70. Finishing with three birdies would have put me on 59 but I finished par-par-bogey. That helped me a lot today, because finishing well was important and I did it."
Despite his 59, Nel was back on four under for the tournament after an opening 77.

2003 Ford Mustang Convertible - Consumer Review

A Super Fun Car!
By Kym on
Vehicle2003 Ford Mustang Deluxe 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
ReviewI've had my 2003 Ford Mustang Convertible for a couple of months and I am having such fun! When the top is down it turns everyone's head. It has no fear of increased speed and is a dream to drive in the hills and on long trips to the ocean. It's just perfection. It had an exhaust leak when I purchased it -- though it wasn't detected by the dealership's "top-notch" service team. The local oil-changing place heard it and the dealership had it repaired. Apparently it is a recall or it is just a common problem. Other than that it's been the most fun I've had since I gave up the keys to my minivan. LOL
Best FeaturesI love the overall look of the car. Beautiful detailing on the exterior and gorgeous leather interior. Absolutely Yummy!

The Paraphasic
19 April 2012
On the Cyclical Nature of History
"My lords, I pray you for God's sake, consider what bills are here daily preferred from the Commons. What the same may sound in some of your ears I cannot tell, but in my ears they sound all to this effect, that our holy mother the Church, being left unto us by the great liberality and diligence of our forefathers in most perfect and peaceable freedom, shall now by us be brought into servile thralldom like a bondmaid, or rather by little and little to be clean banished and driven out of our confines and dwelling places. For else to what end should all this importunate and injurious petitions from the Commons tend? What strange words be here uttered, not to be heard of any Christian ears and unworthy to be spoken in the hearing of Christian princes? For they say that bishops and their officials, abbots, priests, and others of the clergy are covetous, ravenous, insatiable, idle, cruel and so forth. What? Are all of this sort, or is there any of these abuses that the clergy seek not to extirpate and destroy? Be there not laws already provided by them against such and many more disasters? Are not books full of them to be read of such as list to read them if they were executed? But, my lords, beware yourself and your country, nay, beware the liberty of our mother the Church. Luther, one of the most cruel enemies to the faith that ever was, is at hand, and the common people study for novelties and with good will hear what can be said in favor of heresy. What success is there to be hoped for in these attempts other than such as our neighbors have already tasted, whose harms may be a good warning to us? Remember with yourselves what these sects and divisions have wrought among the Bohemians and Germans, who, besides and innumerable number of mischiefs fallen among them, have almost lost their ancient and catholic faith. And what by the snares of John Huss and after him of Martin Luther (whom they reverence like a prophet) they have almost excluded themselves from the unity of Christ's Holy Church? These men now among us seem to reprove the life and doings of the clergy, but after such a sort as they endeavor to bring them into contempt and hatred of the laity. And so finding fault with other men's manners, whom they have no authority to correct, omit and forget their own, which is far worse and much more out of order than the other. But if the truth were known, ye shall find that they rather hunger and thirst after the riches and possessions of the clergy than after amendment of their faults and abuses. And therefore it was not for nothing that this motion was lately made for the small monasteries to be taken into the king's hands. Wherefore I will tell you, my lords, plainly what I think. Except ye resist manfully by your authorities this violent heap of mischief offered by the Commons, ye shall shortly see all obedience withdrawn first from the clergy and after from yourselves. Whereupon will ensue the utter ruin and danger of the Christian faith, and in place of it (that which is likely to follow) the most wicked and tyrannical government of the Turks. For ye shall find that all these mischiefs among them riseth only through lack of faith."

Beyonce's Ivy Park range for Topshop 'made by sweat shop slaves on 44p an HOUR'
BEYONCE'S Ivy Park sportswear range is reportedly being made using "sweat shop slaves" earning just £4.30 a day.
IVY PARK / 2016 Larry Busacca/PW
The Lemonade singer's new collection for high street favourite Topshop has come under fire amid claims poverty-stricken seamstresses are being paid a paltry 44 pence an hour.
Bey told how she wants the gym gear - which crashed the Topshop site when it launched - to "support and inspire women".
But a pair of Bey's leggings, priced at £100, would cost 'exploited' female factory workers a month's wages.
Anti-slavery campaigner Jakub Sobik reportedly claimed the conditions were akin to "sweat shop slavery".
According to the Sun on Sunday, Mr Sobik said: "There are a number of elements here that tick the boxes in terms of slavery, the low pay, restriction of women's movement at night and locking them in.
"Companies like Topshop have a duty to find out if these things are happening, and it has long been shown that ethical inspections by these companies are failing.
"They should be replaced by independent inspections."
"When they talk about women and empowerment this is just for the foreigners."Unnamed Ivy Park machinist
The clothes are being made in a Sri Lankan factory owned by MAS Holdings - which employs 74,000 staff, 70 per cent of whom are women across Asia.
Many are said to be too frightened to speak out, for fear of being fired.
But one unnamed machinist reportedly told the Sun: "When they talk about women and empowerment this is just for the foreigners.
"They want the foreigners to think everything is ok."
MAS are not breaking any laws, with the poorest workers paid above the minimum wage of 13,500 rupees (£135) a month.
But campaigners insist it should be closer to 43,000 rupees (£447).
A Topshop spokesperson insisted Ivy Park has a "rigorous ethical programme".
"We are proud of our sustained efforts in terms of factory inspections and audits, and our teams work very closely with our suppliers and their factories to ensure compliance.
"We expect our suppliers to meet our code of conduct and we support them in achieving these requirements."

The FJ Hakimian collection of sophisticated vintage kilim panels has been expertly assembled to create striking and functional designs perfectly suited to 21st-Century tastes and lifestyles.
Hezar Jerib kilims are deceptively simple. The constrained designs of wide or narrow stripes, most often in subtle monochromes, are achieved using particularly lustrous and supple handspun wool from mountain sheep. The unique dyes are made from local plants and insects, using recipes that have been passed down for generations, and create a beautiful variety of muted yet deep and rich natural tones.
Another distinctive feature of these refined constructions is the subtle color transitions that add depth and visual interest and generate a remarkable dynamism and complexity that complements the minimal compositions. This visual subtlety has led artists and scholars to compare the weavings to the Color Field painting of 20th-Century artists such as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. In fact, Hezar Jerib kilims have been hung in European art galleries as "undiscovered minimalism" and continue to be recognized as works that share the subtlety and craft of the finest examples of postwar Modernism. They are masterpieces of serene and substantial beauty.
And yet the origin of these kilims is far removed from the international art world.
The panels were woven in the remote mountainous district of Hezar Jarib, in the Mazandaran province on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran. This region has remained unchanged for centuries, with villagers living as their ancestors did millennia ago. Due to the remoteness of the region, the weaving tradition has had a separate development, both aesthetically and technically, than other Persian kilim traditions. The geographical isolation means that the weavers must make do with their limited resources. This is an art of aesthetic and material economy.

Ttie objective of ttiis proposed study is to investigate ttie degree to wtiichi nnetfornnin, a lifestyle intervention, or both, can reduce breast cancer mortality among overweiqtit/obese, postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. We will use a """"""""Biomarker Bridge"""""""" design that links clinical outcomes from a breast cancer survivor cohort with intermediate outcomes from a randomized controlled trial by means of a Biomarker Risk Score. Biomarker Risk Score Development: We will assay panels of interrelated biomarkers in 375 archived blood samples obtained from oven/veight/obese, postmenopausal women with a history of breast cancer (125 cases [breast cancer death]:250 matched controls). These Biomarkers represent proposed mechanisms by which obesity is associated with postmenopausal breast cancer: (1) alterations in the insulin-IGF axis, (2) concentrations of endogenous sex hormones, and (3) chronic inflammation. We will identify a set of markers that best predicts breast cancer mortality using conditional logistic regression models adjusted for prognostic factors. This model (i.e., Biomarker Risk Score) measures the log-odds of disease risk due to joint biomarker concentrations. Therefore this Risk Score can measure changes in log-odds due to changes in these markers in an individual and will be used to assess the clinical impact of the metformin and lifestyle intervention randomized trial. Metformin/Lifestyle Intervention Trial: We will conduct a 6-month, randomized controlled trial in 340 overweight/obese, postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. Participants will be randomized in equal numbers to (1) placebo, (2) metformin, (3) lifestyle intervention and placebo, or (4) lifestyle intervention and metformin. The lifestyle intervention will focus on reducing energy intake and increasing energy expenditure to achieve a 7% weight reduction. Biomarkers that compose the Risk Score will be assayed in fasting blood samples collected at baseline and 6 months. The degree to which each intervention changes (e.g., reduces) the Biomarker Risk Score will be used to predict changes (e.g., reductions) in breast cancer mortality. We hypothesize that metformin and lifestyle interventions will reduce breast cancer mortality and that the combination of those interventions will have an additive effect on lowering nsk. In summary, this Biomarker Bridge Design will (i) develop a Biomarker Risk Score that predicts breast cancer mortality, (ii) examine how a metformin/lifestyle intervention changes this Risk Score, and (iii) thereby assess the degree to which metformin and lifestyle interventions influence the biological processes linking obesity with breast cancer mortality.
Given the high prevalence of obesity, research on interventions to reduce breast cancer risk in overweight and obese women is of considerable public health importance. A promising drug intervention to improve breast cancer prognosis is metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes. This proposed study will address whether a diet and physical activity lifestyle intervention that results in weight loss could be a viable alternative, or valuable addition, to a metformin intervention in breast cancer survivors.

Blu-Monday 23 November 09
November 24, 2009 - Welcome to our weekly round-up of the best Blu-rays released in the UK. The biggest movie release this week is Terminator Salvation, will the extended edition get a better reception than the theatrical cut – which was savaged by critics this summer? One of IGN's favourite TV shows also gets a belated Blu-ray ray release as well today in the portly shape of The Sopranos, although it's annoying that for the moment its only season one. Another long-overdue high-def transfer that we also finally get to see is Fight Club, a full ten years after its original release.

Vel'Koz Build Guide by TheReddKing
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Was I Supposed to Support?
Vel'Koz Build
Get theseeeee
Late Game Monster
Somewhat good items
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Vel'Koz with this build
|Just watch out for her E. Otherwise, you have range over her and harass her as much as you can.
|You should be able to out trade her, as her abilities are mostly short ranged attacks
Vel'koz is a really fun champion to play.
Due to his True damage passive and awesome kiting abilities, he is fun to play (GEEOOMETTRY) as well as providing consistent damage at a safe distance in a now (very) tanky meta.
However BE WARNED. Vel'koz is an extremely skillshot dependent champion (all his abilities are skillshots) so if you can't land any, don't play him.
You should be able to CONSISTENTLY dish out the MOST damage to champions because of your safe range as well as true damage passive.
Although going mid is preferable, Bottom lane Vel'koz is a force to be reckoned with.
Also his ctrl-3 spam is really fun.
Who am I
I'm TheReddKing and just play LoL for fun. This my first (rushed) guide so maybe if it does well I will expand on it.
It's all about the items.
Season 6 is an especially tanky meta, and so items need to be penetration oriented.
First build Frost Queen's Claim. The active is really nice and should be used to ensure that you aren't out of position.
Next shoot for Luden's Echo, which will be most of your damage. Since his passive and high base damages, his items should be more focused on utility.
Buy cooldown reduction boots.
Then build Liandry's Torment (really nice against tanks).
Finally build guardian's angel and void staff for the armor/magic resist and magic pen.

USA Today, March 22, 2011
State governments are rushing to pay billions of dollars of medical bills before special federal assistance for Medicaid expires July 1. The hurry-up-and-pay effort will put an extra $1 billion or more into the pockets of financially struggling states ? and increase the federal deficit by a similar amount. "States are paying bills as fast as they can," says Debra Miller, healthcare expert at the Council of State Governments. "It's kind of the opposite of what states traditionally do." To beat deadlines for reduced federal aid, states are writing checks swiftly, paying off backlogs of bills and asking hospitals and doctors to send in bills as fast as they can. The federal stimulus law and a later extension provided states an extra $80 billion in 2009 and 2010 for Medicaid. This was done by reducing the states' share of the program from a national average of 40% to 28%.

nvestigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire that destroyed a home east of Julian on Memorial Day and killed two people in their 20s, including a Marine formerly stationed at Miramar.
Killed in the blaze at the home on Gunslinger Trail near the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park were Craig Hannum, 24, of Hays, Texas, and 20-year-old Kelly Engwall of Bozeman, Montana, officials said. They both died of smoke inhalation, investigators with the county Medical Examiner's Office said.
Sarah Weise, 26, who rented the two-bedroom home, said the two were visiting her and her boyfriend, who is an active-duty Marine stationed at Miramar. Another couple, including another active-duty Marine at Miramar, were also at the home. Weise said.
Weise said the group had a barbecue that afternoon and had all gone to sleep except for her boyfriend, who stayed up to watch television. Then the electricity went out and a loud popping sound was heard, and her boyfriend opened the bedroom door. "The house was filled with smoke," Weise said.
She climbed out a window and he ran to a guest room and knocked down the door and told the friends to get out.
He then ran to the living room, where Hannum and Engwall were sleeping, and grabbed Hannum and told them to get out. Weise said her boyfriend thought he had awakened Hannum.
A neighbor had already called firefighters. When they arrived, the house was already engulfed in flames, said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Nick Schuler.
Weise said her boyfriend ran outside and then went back in and had gotten about 10 feet inside when there was an explosion and he was forced back outside. "Sixty seconds later, the whole house was just gone," Weise said.
Hannum, who was known as "Tex," enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2003 after he graduated from high school and served until 2008 as a sergeant and data network specialist. Hannum had also been stationed in Okinawa, Iraq and Korea.
Weise described Engwall as an amazing, carefree girl who had a zest for life.
Investigators do not believe found play was involved.
Weise said she lost everything she owned and her boyfriend lost most of his possessions. A truck belonging to one of the surviving friends also was destroyed, she said.
They just returned from Engwall's service in Montana.
"There's a lot of survivor's guilt," said Weise, who had taken some time off from work but is set to go back this week. "It's like a roller coaster. The good days are good, but the bad days are really bad."

I know, I know. It's going to be hard to imagine anyone other than Kurt Russell playing the iconic role of Snake Plissken in the [Escape From New York Reboot](movie:896038). However, for better or worse, that seems like an idea we're going to have to get used to.
According to Starlog, a shortlist of three actors who are being considered for the role has just been released by Silver Pictures. Of course, as is often the case with these types of sources, you should consider this information firmly within the rumor-sphere until we get any kind of official confirmation.
According to their sources, Charlie Hunnam, Jon Bernthal and Dan Stevens are all being considered for the famous, eye-patch and sub-machinegun toting anti-hero.
Apparently, Hunnam, is the favorite for the role, although his commitment to [Pacific Rim 2](movie:775756) could throw a spanner in the works. Starlog also suggested an official offer could be made "any day now" despite the fact none of the three have actually read for the role.
However, let's weigh up these three main contenders and see who's best qualified to play Snake Plissken.
Charlie Hunnam
Hunnam is certainly a star on the rise. He's about to complete filming of the final season of popular motorbike crime drama, [Sons of Anarchy](series:201186), while he's also made his name in mainstream blockbusters such as monster-vs-robot flick, Pacific Rim.
The Pros
Stick Hunnam in some long hair and stubble and he almost looks rugged enough to carry the torch for Kurt Russel, while his role as Jax in Sons of Anarchy also shows he can play a criminal without being completely hated.
However, I'd have to say one big plus plus comes from his role as Patric in Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. Despite having only a secondary role, Hunnam - who is unrecognizable with his dreadlocks and native Geordie accent - quickly established himself as the prime bastard of the movie - suggesting a future commanding screen presence fitting of Snake. Furthermore, the epic final battle scene shows he's comfortable running and gunning in a dystopian environment. Keep an eye out for him below:
The Cons
On the downside, Hunnam isn't a native of America, and as such he's going to be putting on an accent. Now, his accent in Pacific Rim was passable, but there were occasions when it wasn't exactly spot on. When portraying Snake, nailing the voice is perhaps the single most important element for bringing the character to life.
Furthermore, despite action-y roles in Children of Men and Pacific Rim, we have yet to really see him as a standalone action icon in a gritty R-rated movie.
Jon Bernthal
Perhaps best known for his role as Shane in The Walking Dead, Bernthal is another predominantly TV actor who is making his way into the movies. Next, you'll be able to see him fight beside Brad Pitt as a tanker in World War II film, [Fury](movie:866294).
The Pros
Bernthal earned his apocalyptic-action stripes as expert zombie-dispatcher, Shane, in The Walking Dead. Although he could often be seen carrying around a shotgun and blowing the undead away, Bernthal also did a good job of delivering a complex character who - despite his often 'evil' actions and choices - could not be wholly disliked.
This could certainly pay dividends when delivering the dark and troubled character of Snake Plissken. Here he is doing 'what is necessary' below:
The Cons
Unlike Hunnam, Bernthal still hasn't proven himself as a leading man in his own right. Indeed, the vast majority of Bernthal's previous roles have been in a supporting capacity, and it could be that this is where his expertise lies.
Of course, it might simply be that he hasn't yet been given the opportunity to truly show off his full acting repertoire as a leading man.
Dan Stevens
Dan is likely to be the name on this list which you least recognize, and in many ways it seems he might be the left-field, wildcard choice. Another British actor, Stevens is probably best known for his portrayal of Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey, although more recently he is appearing in the upcoming action flick, [The Guest](movie:997887).
The Pros
At first glance, Stevens does not seem like the natural choice for an All-American hero like Snake. He doesn't look particularly rugged, while his filmography does not present a whole lot of action roles. However, it could be his upcoming performance as David in Adam Wingard's The Guest which caught the eye of casting directors. If early reviews are anything to go by, The Guest is likely to be a well-received, kinetic actioner in the vein of Drive. Check out the trailer below:
The Cons
Unfortunately, the very thing which makes Stevens stand out - his relatively unknown reputation and untapped potential - could be his biggest drawback. If The Guest doesn't turn out to be as good as some are suggesting, there really isn't a whole lot left on his resume which suggests he could pull of Snake. Furthermore, his relative obscurity might count against him if executives are looking for a bigger name to reboot the Escape From New York franchise.
Apart from dropping these three names, Starlog also released a bit more unconfirmed information regarding the story, as well as extra characters we might meet. They claimed the remake would be "more team-based, as Snake Plissken traverses through a treacherous New York landscape with a rogues gallery of criminals who look to leave the island-turned-prison in exchange for the rescue of the captured U.S. President."
It seems this 'team' will consist of Mina, a war journalist who was framed for a murder, Cabbie a 'comic relief schizophrenic', Gareth, the last remaining member of the President's security detail, and The Brain - a former criminal associate of Snake.
Who else would you like to see playing Snake in Escape From New York?
Of these three, who is your favorite to play Snake Plissken?

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
The Senate is set for a key vote this afternoon. Democrats want to bring up one of President Obama's top priorities: a bill that would re-regulate Wall Street. Republicans have said they want some more bargaining before taking up the bill. That amounts to a filibuster, and it'll take 60 votes today to override it - one more than the 59 that Democrats control.
Filibusters have expanded dramatically in recent years, and a growing chorus of Democrats are saying it's time to reassess that practice. NPR's David Welna reports.
DAVID WELNA: To get an idea why Democrats say they're so frustrated with filibusters, consider what happened last Thursday on the Senate floor, when Majority Leader Harry Reid proposed bringing up the financial regulatory bill.
Senator HARRY REID (Democrat, Nevada; Senate Majority Leader): I ask unanimous consent that at 3 p.m. Monday, April 26th, the Senate proceed to the consideration of calendar number 349S3217, a bill to promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency.
Unidentified Man (Senate Presiding Officer): Is there objection?
WELNA: That was the presiding officer. He asked if there was any objection because if just one Senator objects, the bill can't be considered unless 60 Senators vote to bring it up.
That one senator, in this case, was Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Senator MITCH MCCONNELL (Republican, Kentucky; Senate Minority Leader): Reserving the right to object, and I will object.
WELNA: McConnell said Republicans wanted more time to negotiate changes to the bill before it hit the floor. That's because once it does, Republicans wanting to amend it may have to muster 60 votes, since any Democrat can filibuster GOP amendments.
It used to be relatively rare that so-called motions to proceed, or to bring up a bill, were filibustered. Before Democrats became the majority in 2007, such filibusters occurred only about eight times a year. Since then, the Republican minority has nearly quadrupled the frequency of such filibusters, which is why New York Democrat Charles Schumer convened a meeting last week of the rules committee he chairs. It was the first of what Schumer said would be a series of hearings on what to do about the Senate filibuster.
Senator CHARLES SCHUMER (New York, Democrat): The threat of filibusters has become an almost daily fact of life in the Senate, influencing how we handle virtually everything debated on the Senate floor. The filibuster used to be the exception to the rule. In today's Senate, it's becoming a straitjacket.
WELNA: Schumer held the hearing at the urging of New Mexico Democrat Tom Udall. He's part of a group of freshmen and sophomore Democrats who've gotten fed up with the filibuster.
Senator TOM UDALL (Democrat, New Mexico): It is time again for reform. There are many great traditions in this body that should be kept and respected, but stubbornly clinging to ineffective and unproductive procedures should not be one of them.
WELNA: GOP leader McConnell was also at the hearing. His message on changing the filibuster: Don't do it.
Sen. MCCONNELL: The founders purposely crafted the Senate to be a deliberate, thoughtful body. A supermajority requirement to cut off the right to debate ensures that wise purpose. Eliminating it is a bad idea.
WELNA: And the filibuster is not the only venerable Senate institution in the crosshairs. Some Democrats are also pushing to get rid of so-called secret holds on scores of presidential nominees - a hold being the threat to filibuster. Missouri's Claire McCaskill says they're sending a letter to the Senate's two leaders.
Senator CLAIRE MCCASKILL (Democrat, Missouri): We have said first, we will not do secret holds. We're out of the business of secret holds. We're not going to do them. And secondly, we want the Senate to pass a rule that prohibits them entirely. If you want to hold somebody, fine, but say who you are and why you're doing it.
WELNA: Changing the Senate's rules, though, takes 67 votes, and just 21 senators have signed McCaskill's letter.

HomePlug Powerline Alliance Sets Baseline Technology for Command and Control Specification
Specification will unite the industry with a common method for controlling lights, appliances, and implementing new kinds of broad digital services.
San Ramon, Calif. - March 6, 2006 - Continuing to unite industries behind a common set of powerline communications standards, the HomePlug Powerline Alliance announced today that the baseline technology for its HomePlug Command and Control specification was awarded to Yitran Communications, Ltd of Beer -Sheva, Israel. Yitran will work closely with Ariane Controls Inc. of Quebec City, Canada, and GE Security - two other companies involved in the Command and Control specification - to refine the standard.
Nine companies from around the world responded to the Alliance's open call for technology proponents. The criteria for comparing the technologies were based on a Market Requirements Document (MRD) developed by the member companies. Companies agreed on fair and unbiased testing procedures, and upon the outcome of field and laboratory tests, the number of proponents was reduced to three. After a bake -off, Yitran's technology emerged as the clear choice for the HomePlug Command and Control baseline.
"We are obviously very pleased with this outcome," said Avner Matmor, president, CEO and a co -founder of Yitran. "We have been building our technology portfolio for the past decade, and this result is a great indicator of the unique and effective methods that our company has developed. We are looking forward to the global proliferation of the HomePlug Command and Control standard."
The competition for the baseline technology included worldwide companies and prominent members of the HomePlug board of directors.
"The whole testing process was clear, transparent and well executed by the HomePlug technology evaluation group'' said Jean -Pierre Fournier and president of Ariane Controls. ''We are pleased with the outcome of the tests and are eager to start working with Yitran and the HomePlug Command & Control Specification Working Group to make this standard a technological and commercial success."
"As a proponent in this process, I was extremely impressed with the openness and fairness of the entire technology evaluation," said Jeff Wilson, vertical market manager of GE Security. "The members of the technical evaluation group were extremely professional and had extensive experience in the industry. The field and laboratory tests were very well designed, and they thoroughly tested the devices in both controlled and actual end -user settings. GE Security is extremely pleased with the results of the test and is looking forward to working closely with Yitran and the HomePlug Command & Control Specification Working Group to bring this exciting new technology to market."
According to the Alliance's standard process, the next steps include the formation of a Specification Working Group to build and refine the HomePlug Command & Control MAC/PHY technology. The working group will write the specification to ensure that silicon companies worldwide can create HomePlug -compliant implementations.
"I'm very excited to see this effort bring unification to what has - until now - been a niche industry," said Pete Griffin, director of corporate technology for Radio Shack, and chairman of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. "I am particularly encouraged that the other technology proponents in our selection process are supporting Yitran's solution and remain committed to the goal of the alliance. They are looking forward to contributing to the specification so that all the companies can work on growing the global marketplace for control applications."
The HomePlug BoD is expecting to ratify the specification in Q3 2006.
All interested parties are invited to join the HomePlug Powerline Alliance and contribute to the development of all its specifications and broaden the growing list of applications. Companies interested in receiving information about the HomePlug Powerline Alliance are invited to contact Executive Director Rob Ranck (firstname.lastname@example.com) for details on membership and activities.
