I bought Mrs. Lemmy a set of Wusthof knives when she got her MBA about 7 years ago. I think they are the "Classic" series. It was about $800 for the chef knives then buying a few seperate pieces and matching steak knives. I picked them because I was sick of getting cheap, crappy knives. These feel good in your mitts, are balanced nice, the handles are sturdy, full tang blades and maintain their cut with just an occasional touch up with the hone. Rock solid reviews (at the time....no idea now), other quality brands in my price range seemed to be having quality issues at the time. I love 'em.....no regrets.
I got my brother a set of Ginsu knives--they were very well reviewed in Consumer Reports
I don't even know the brand I have, they're forged steel, and I use a sharpening stone whenever I use them
Hmm. I do like the japanese ones but I want a more wood than plastic handle. Lemmy I also have seen a lot of good comments about the brand you have, but they are out of my price range at the moment
They were outta mine too!
My advice......
Find a knife you like even if they are expensive and just buy it by the piece over time. A quality set without a huge outlay at once and they'll last forever. I'm not trying to spend your money but if you buy something you aren't happy with or the quality is "meh" you'll just replace them eventually anyway. That is assuming you like to cook and are planning on using them often. I could get by with a few steak knives and one or two big cutters which is cheaper than a full set of replaceable knives. Good luck!

We actually just picked up a cheaper Oster while in the US on vacation. I figure we'd have it till we moved next year and in the interim I can learn what we use it most for and what features are must haves on an upgrade when we move. You certainly have not given any bad advice, and lots of food for thought!! Except the super pricey knives, I can't afford to think about them

And, according to a study by the non-profit Connecticut Voices for Children, younger people are among those getting hit the hardest.
The unemployment rate among workers age 16-24 has dramatically increased over the last decade, with 17.1 percent of young workers unemployed in 2012. By comparison, the unemployment rate was 7.4 percent for those ages 25-54 and 6.4 percent among those ages 55 and older, according to the report, which is released every year around Labor Day.
Connecticut youth unemployment — currently at a historically high level — is also higher than the national average of 16.2 percent.
"It has been on the rise over the last dozen years, increasing dramatically during the recent recession," according to a news release from the CT Voices report. "From a low of 5.6 percent in 2000, youth unemployment more than tripled to a high of 18.2 percent in 2011, then declined slightly in 2012."
Some other quick facts from the report:
- Between 1979 and 2012 the youth unemployment rate in Connecticut rose from 11.3 percent to 17.1 percent, a full 51 percent increase.
- From the low point of youth unemployment in 2000, at 5.6 percent, the rate reached a maximum of 18.2 percent in 2010 and 2011.
- From 2011 to 2012, youth unemployment dropped to 17.1 percent.
- In 2012, Black unemployment (13.4 percent) and Hispanic unemployment (15.7 percent) were about double the White unemployment rate (7.0 percent).
- On average, Hispanics earned 55 cents and Blacks earned 72 cents for every dollar earned by Whites.
- Youth unemployment in Connecticut is more than twice the statewide rate.
- The Great Recession exacerbated a trend of increasing youth unemployment.
- A smaller share of the working age population is working or looking for work, particularly among young people.
- While Connecticut has added jobs in the recent past, these jobs are among the state's lowest-paid sectors.
- Long-term unemployment for young people in Connecticut is higher than it is nationally, though it is worse for older workers.
- Connecticut's minorities and less-educated workers face high unemployment and low wages.
- Closing Connecticut's opportunity gaps for young and minority workers will be necessary for the future economic health and quality of life in the state.

This shirt is extremely disappointing. The actual printed shirt is not even close to being as vibrant and colourful as the picture depicts it. It's still a cool shirt, just be aware that's much more grey than the picture would lead you to believe. In the interest of accurately presenting their product, the saturation of the sample images should be adjusted to reflect the actual colour of the shirt.

kachnak, ladypixel-- Sorry you guys didn't like how the shirt came out. I was sitting here trying to decide to buy or not, but I've worked at screenprinting companies and I had my doubts about how all those subtle transparencies would look printed on fabric. That image there is extremely difficult to accurately translate in the screenprinting process, if it's any consolation. :(

Best Uses
Saw this flooring online and thought it looked really good. When I got it installed it looked even better.
Best Uses
This is a high quality product that installs quickly and easily.
Best Uses
This floor is beautiful! My husband installed it and did a great job. The floor feels solid - not like a typical floating floor.
Best Uses
Vintners Reserve 12mm wide plank flooring is very sturdy and contractors were surprised it doesn't give or bend at all. It's just beautiful and we're very pleased with this product.
Best Uses
I love these floors. I couldn't take the carpet on my floors any longer. It was time for a change, and this laminate wood flooring gave my house a new look. I would recommend this flooring to anyone.
Service and delivery comments:
Great service. Installers were great as well. The installers delivered all the supplies, and did an excellent job.
Best Uses
I installed in my 13x13 living room in just under 2 1/2 hrs. It looks beautiful and smells great. Very hard for people to notice it's laminate due to it's thickness and sturdiness.
Best Uses
The St. James laminate and underlayment is in our basement sports room. Now that it is laid it is the look we were after - very rich and destressed looking. However, some of the boards were very hard to lock together and took some effort. The underlayment was a breeze to put down. We noticed that there were some bubbling at the end of some boards and they chipped.
Best Uses
I'll start with the easy list. The Pros.
1. In my opinion, the laminate flooring that we purchased is better than the carpet we had - in one regard, and that is the fact that carpet over time has the potential to retain a lot of junk, the dust, the spills, the pet hair, whatever it is within your household eventually gets trapped and matted into carpet over the years. Eventually the carpet requires more frequent and expensive professional cleaning efforts of which become more frequent and have less satisfying results.
The Cons, in no particular order.
1. It scratches extremely easily. I'm going to classify scratches into two classifications, the first type of scratch is what I am I going to call a clear-coat scratch, and it's a lot like a scratch on your car that when the sunlight or other bright light catches the surface just right you can see all of the swirl marks in the clear-coat. This is especially true for vehicles with darker paint color, same is true for these floors, the darker the color the more swirl marks you will see. The second type of scratch is the one that goes straight through the paint or finish right down to the next layer leaving a very visible mark that can be seen at all times. We have had our flooring for a little less than six months and it is absolutely covered with the clear-coat type scratches. Yes, you need to see them in the daylight or with a bright light reflecting off the surface just right to see them but none the less the floor is absolutely covered with these types of scratches. To take that thought just a little bit further I'll give you a sense as to what type of item will leave these clear-coat types of scratches. Here is just one example: The Wheels on our standard household vacuum with merely the weight of the vacuum alone was enough to put scratches in the floor. The very first day we had the floors installed we were cleaning them up after the installers left and by simply rolling what I would consider a normal upright bag-less vacuum over the floor the wheels which are some type of rubber-plastic composite put scratches on this flooring. We immediately had to buy a super lightweight stick style vacuum for use on the laminate flooring.
2. It has an absolute zero tolerance for water and when I mean zero I really mean zero. Someone somewhere likely disagrees with this opinion but stay with me here and I'll elaborate. I'm referring specifically to the area where the two boards meet, the little grooves. If even a drop of water gets into those grooves you better get it cleaned up immediately. I mean stop everything you're doing and immediately get the drop of water eradicated post haste, else the particle board or whatever this stuff is made out of will get what I call a tumor, a visibly nasty bubbled up area. If you are reading this and thinking, well who the heck doesn't clean up a spill immediately let me expand upon that just a bit. We're not pigs, we really are clean people, possibly a little bit on the OCD side perhaps but we have two young children ages 2 and 5 and let's face it, every single Sippy cup on the planet leaks, even if it's just a single drop, it doesn't take much more than just a drop of water to damage this flooring. My warning is this: If you have children this laminate flooring is quite possibly Not the right choice for you. Or if you have ever dropped an ice cube on your kitchen floor, this might not be the product for you, OR, if you have ever dripped water on the floor when either loading or unloading your dishwasher this might not be the right product for you, OR if you child has ever splashed water in the sink when they wash their hands this might not be the right product for you. I really wish someone had told us exactly that before we made the investment. The thing that bothers me the most, the factor that really drove me to write this extensive review is that I specifically asked (more than once) the sales person if the floor can tolerate a spill, the sales person went as far as to say you can totally install this stuff in what is referred to in the construction industry as a "wet room" like a bathroom or a laundry room for examples, or even under an appliance like a dishwasher or a refrigerator. Which we did, and which I have regretted ever since.
3. It's noisy. If you do opt for the "floating" floor type of installation the floor will make noise. If you are like me and you're thinking, Ok, I'm going to buy this 12mm stuff and pay for the "premium" pad and you're thinking hey this stuff is pretty thick, it looks sturdy and you're thinking this should certainly help warrant against any popping, creaking, flexing, echo-type clip-clop sound like a horse and buggy down a cobblestone road you're wrong. After having purchased the 12mm stuff in conjunction with what I was told was pre-attached premium padding I can tell you that the floor creaks, and pops, and flexes, and bounces, and has every bit of the hollow type echo clip-clop sound when you walk on it. Again, I really wish someone had told me this information before we made the investment.
Now you might be like me, and you might be thinking there are hundreds of positive reviews of this product how bad could it really be? Thinking, good grief this guy would complain about winning the lottery, he's just upset. I'm not upset, I just hate making bad investments and because there wasn't anyone who would share this information with me when I made the purchase I felt that someone needed to say it. I would imagine that this is a really good product for SOME people, but if you're like me, a busy parent with small children,..you might be better off investing in a more durable product.
Best Uses
pretty much re-did all the main living carpeted areas like living/family room mail entry hall and formal dining. Office carpet finally shot planning to replace w/ same material. if attaching transitions to concrete use a flexible glue. I used standard liquid nail and after 3 years, a 180# 3 y/old St. Bernard and a 3 and 1 yr/old sons they're popped up. shop around for a better glue. the plastic channel that comes with it useless unless wooden sub floor or gunpowder concrete nail gun.
Best Uses
Everything installed with ease. Got excellent help purchasing the floor. Looks great once it was installed. I will be back.

We are considering putting this floor in our open living room dining room and hall. We live in a double wide and wondering if this floor is going to be ok where the two halves of the home are put together. Our home has been here for 18 years/1 answer
As long as the floor is flat & level you should be OK.Q:
I want to put in my kitchen and my bath room has it ever been done1 answer
Yes, Laminate is acceptable for installation in a kitchen or a powder room. It is recommend to put a throw rug by the sink because an excess water can damage wood. You will need to wipe up any water that sit on the floor as soon as possible. However a full bathroom that is showered in everyday may not be the best location for Laminate. Often there is too much water on the floor or humidity that can be absorbed into the flooring resulting in board edge cupping. Resilient and Tile floors are a better choice for these areas.Q:
Will this floor hold up to an 90 pound dog?1 answer
Despite today\'s advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor\'s finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and\/or pets are all factor that influence wear.Q:
Is there an online installation guide available for the 12" Kensington Manor Vinters Reserve? I looked on Lumber Liquidators website in the tabs "installation" and "specs" but no links seem to be available. Are there instructions in the box?...my flooring is currently acclimating and have not been opened. Thanks.1 answer
You can find complete installation instructions on our website through the Flooring 101 web pages for easy installation, click on laminate collection, you will see different manufactures click on St. James and that will open up the different installation instructions. You have the Lock and Fold.Q:
hello i purchsed this flooring and online it said low gloss. my boxes which i just unloaded into my home say high gloss. i would prefer the low gloss if it available. are there indeed different finishes available for Vitner's Reserve flooring or is this a typo on the internet? i didnt think there was any need to review these at the store, as they were loaded directly from the pallet into my truck and i didnt even think to confirm the gloss. help!1 answer
I apologizes for the misinformation you received on the product that you purchased, it is a misprint regarding the low gloss description. This product is not available in a low gloss finish.Q:
We live in VA and we have an open concept house with the kitchen and family room connected. The full length of the room is 39 feet. is it possible to run this flooring without a transition piece? also note there is a fairly large island so there is only about a 5 ft section that will run the full 39 ft.1 answer
Expansion breaks allowed normal floor movement independent of other connected rooms and large room installs. Any Rome are connected area greater than 27 feet in any direction must-have expansion breaks placed into the flooring. Expansion breaks and T-molding transitions should be installed between adjoining rooms connections and hallways and all doorways. Failure to meet these requirements can result in floor buckling separating or gappingQ:
I want to install laminate on a second floor. Is there something I can put down to help insulate against the noise?1 answer
Is the St James 12mm considered energy efficient sku#10023865 and also the Eco silent HD underlayment?What is the R rating?1 answer
Laminate flooring has Negligible insulating properties. Eco Silent Sound Underlayment has an R-value of 0.23.Q:
How many square feet does one box of the vitners reserve cover? I have one box left over from my floor installation so I'm thinking about installing this flooring in my bedroom. Thank you.1 answer
18.7 sq. ft. per boxQ:
What is the best product to clean laminate flooring?1 answer
We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor. In addition, we do not recommend using steamers or wet-jet cleaning systems for hardwood because spraying can collect moisture in between board edges. The use of these products is at your own risk.

Katherine E.United StatesHairBlondeFine or Thin HairDon't Understand The RatingsI don't understand why the ratings are so high on this. this hair dryer doesn't get hot enough. It is difficult to get the hair really dry with it and my hair is fine. Finally gave up and bought a Babylis on Amazon. The difference is amazing. Don't waste your money on this.posted Nov 27, 2012Link to this post
SuzyHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFinally - A Worthy T3 Replacement!I've had three T3's over the past 8 years or so and loved every one of them. Each time one died, I looked for a longer-lasting replacement that could perform just as well but never found one and always went back to the T3.
My hair is long, fine, wavy and dry. What I loved about the T3 is the combination of the heat it generated and the fact that the airflow was strong but not overpowering. Before purchasing my third T3, I tried the SuperSolano and returned it after using it for a couple of days - airflow was TOO strong, tangled my hair, and it didn't produce enough heat for me.
I was skeptical of the Sedu because of its super-strong airflow - I figured it would have the same effect as the SuperSolano, but gave it a shot. So glad I did! The combination of "low" air speed and "high" heat is just perfect for me.
More plusses: the ionic feature can be turned on or off, compact size, two included air concentrators, and a DC motor (as opposed to the T3). Yeah, it's a little heavier than the T3, but it's a tradeoff I'm more than happy to make.posted Nov 27, 2012Link to this post -
JessNJHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairGreat Professional Level Hair Dryer, PriceyI ended up choosing this hair dryer over the Super Solano because Folica was running a recycling program - send in your old hair dryer to be recycled and in exchange receive $40 off a new hair dryer. That certainly helped defray the higher cost of this hair dryer compared to the Super Solano. I had a Super Solano for the last 5 years and while it was a great hair dryer, it was very heavy and over the last year I felt it wasn't getting as hot as it should. When I took the Sedu out of its box and used it, I was amazed at how much lighter it was and liked the compact shape of it. It is still a "full" size dryer and wouldn't exactly travel easily in a carry-on luggage, but compared to the Super Solano, it is a pleasure to use. My hair is super shiny now with the ion feature and dries fairly quickly (I have fine hair, but a lot of it and it takes quite a bit of effort to dry it). It isn't as loud as the Super Solano either, which is an added plus.posted Nov 26, 2012Link to this post
Megan T.ONTARIO, CANADAHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairBest Hairdryer Ever Used!!!!I purchased this dryer three years ago after I tried my moms and it still works as perfectly as it did, on day one!

AmyHairGreyDry HairFine or Thin HairExcellent Blow DryerWonderful blow dryer....very powerful! Dries my hair in no time. Now granted, I have short hair, but this dryer does dry it faster than the other dryer I had.
I have very fine hair and as I've aged, it has thinned out. So the goal here is to give it some body and this dryer definitely helps with that.
I like the different settings for temperature and speed, very nice. Cool shot works nicely!posted Nov 19, 2012Link to this post -
JulieChicagoHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSo SadI really thought this would be a great tool based on the reviews, but it just didn't work for me. My hair felt kind greasy and flat and just didn't seem to get hot enough to get the level of smooth/straight that I like. It's interesting though because someone just wrote a review that it burned their hair off?! I've used CHI and Solano in the past and wanted to try something new. I am a hair dryer addict. My husband jokes and says "Hey, need a hairdryer, come to our house my wife has 20 of them". He exaggerates, but I've had my fair share of experience with professional dryers and this one just didn't deliver. On the positive side, I loved the size of it, the level of noise and the cold shot which was pretty much instantly cold. Some driers take a few seconds for it to get cold but this one was quick and could lock in that bit of curl or flip at the end. I just don't know what it left my hair flat and greasy feeling. Sigh...oh well, next!posted Nov 19, 2012Link to this post

Methamphetamine is one of the fastest growing illicit narcotics in America. Unlike many other synthetic drugs, methamphetamine is produced inexpensively using ordinary household chemicals and then sold at a sizeable profit on the street. This production process can cause fires, explosions, and the release of toxic waste by-product into the atmosphere of our environment. Many communities, unknowingly harbor covert laboratories that are producing this illegal drug in garages and basements in residential neighborhoods. This drug has devastating affects on its users: families are destroyed, lives are lost, and children are neglected or abused.
The COPS Office, along with our partners at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the National Crime Prevention Council hosted the Midwestern Governors' Conference Summit on Methamphetamine in September 2002 to bring together the resources of thirteen states to combat the production and proliferation of methamphetamine. The Summit emphasized the principles of community policing by engaging varied community interests to solve a common problem. It brought together not only representatives of federal, state, and local law enforcement, but also community leaders, service and faith-based organizations, public health and social service agencies, the education community, members of the judiciary and government executives, and even representatives of America's youth. The ideas exchanged helped develop a complete picture not only of the problem, but also of the solution, and how to get there.
When a problem affects so many aspects of the quality of life in a community, it often takes a collective effort from the community to fully address it. The methamphetamine epidemic in our country is the very definition of a community problem, and we at the COPS Office have made combating it one of our top priorities. We have dedicated more than $200 million since 1998 through COPS' Methamphetamine Initiative to help communities develop community policing strategies to combat methamphetamine, train officers, develop programs to aid drug-endangered children, and assist in the clean up of hazardous chemicals and by-products of methamphetamine production.

I have been using Monsieur de Givenchy since I began shaving in 1966. It is my all time favorite. There has never been an equal in men's fragrace.

Written by Robert D. Cruickshank
I used the former Monsieur Givenchy after shave (when it was light blue color) since 1956 when I purchased it in a duty free shop. It became my signature scent. Some time in the 1990's you changed the scent from Monsieur to GENTLEMEN. I did not like the new scent. When I saw the name Monsieur I started purchasing it again but it is not the same as the original blue. I am still looking for the orig Robert D.Cruickshank

When John McPeak was diagnosed with base-of-tongue cancer, radiation oncologist Nancy Lee eliminated the tumor while preserving his quality of life.
As a board-certified radiation oncologist, my expertise is using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat patients with thyroid and other head and neck cancers. Using this advanced form of 3D conformal radiotherapy, our goals are twofold — improving patients' outcomes and decreasing the side effects of treatment.
There are many effective treatment options for patients diagnosed with tumors in the head and neck. Many of these tumors can be eliminated without the need of an invasive surgery, using radiation therapy alone or radiation in combination with chemotherapy (such as tumors in the tonsil, base of tongue, and soft palate). Before making a decision on which treatment to pursue, I believe it is important to have a consultation with a surgeon, radiation oncologist, and medical oncologist to hear about all the different options available.
I am also the principal investigator of a national clinical trial for the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) that evaluates IMRT for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. In addition, I recently participated with many collaborators — including RTOG and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) — to define the appropriate treatment volume for the neck in patients who are receiving IMRT for head and neck cancer.

I'm trying to get this to work since I read that the ASRock CIR module has an unusable range. I can't get the remote to wake it up or put it to sleep. If I manually put it to sleep, I can then wake it up using the Enter key on a wired USB keyboard. A wireless USB keyboard will not wake up the machine nor will the remote.
Everything related to USB is set to "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" and I have disabled "Allow the computer to put this device to sleep". Once it's in Sleep, I can hit the remote button and watch the IR receiver flash indicating it is receiving a signal, but nothing happens.
I have tried installing the ASRock instant boot, but that didn't work either. Does anyone have this working with this board? Thanks!

it has nothing to do with ASRock instant boot...
check in your BIOS options to see if there's a feature that let you PowerON using a keyboard/mouse or something like that... also, which ir remote/receiver your talking about? also, which wireless keyboard your talking about? u need to give more details... |

There is an option to allow a PS/2 keyboard to wake the computer but nothing specifically saying anything like wake from USB. There is nothing that allows me to specifically set the sleep state, other than the generic Enable / Disable "Suspend to RAM". If I set that to Enable, it appears that the computer is entering S3 as the LED is blinking on the front. According to the manual, that indicates S3 sleep.
I've tried with both the Harmony One and the MCE remote that came with the Microsoft Model 1040 Receiver that I'm using. The wireless keyboard is a Logitech that I steal from my office computer when I need to do something on the HTPC. Thanks eskro! |

well i too, on my HTPC,
There is an option to allow a PS/2 keyboard to wake the computer from S3, not S5 tho... and, once turned on, well, my PS/2 keyboard of course can wake up the pc from S3 state. now, i bought an Ipazzport wireless mini RF keyboard, and, once in S3 state, im able to wake imy PC using it! thats mainly because its an RF keyboard. when i have the Bluetooth version of it, i wasnt able to wake from S3... thats why i like RF better then bluetooth.... so, again, if your logitech is bluetooth, thats probably the reason why it wont wake up your PC from S3... and if your Logitech is RF well, im starting to be clueless... now, your Remotes and your IR USB Receiver, as i mentioned a couple of times, its a hit and miss here... lets say your PC does wake up from S3 when using a RF wireless keybaord ok, now, it doesnt mean that your USB IR Receiver will work... im strongly thinking that some USB IR Receivers arent capable somehow to send commands to your PC when its sleeping... yes, even tho some motherboard BIOS have a USB 'ON' feature, still, it just seems some IR receivers are only working when the PC is fully ON. example, user named CpTHOOK confirmed to us that he can Power ON from S5 using his ADESSO REMOTE PACKAGE! looks like its USB IR RECEIVER is capable of sending commands to the PC even when the PC is in S3 and S5! but again, your motherbaord also needs to have some sort of USB always 'on' feature and CpTHOOK's motherbaord, the ASROCK A75M-ITX has such a feature. so, the way i understand is this... u need 2 things here... 1) a motherbaord that has some sort of USB always 'on' feature 2) a USB IR RECEIVER that is capable of sending commands when the PC is sleeping... failure to have either of those will result in stuff not working,,, |

I'll just assume that it's not compatible with that motherboard, which is ashame because wake up and sleep are pretty important when it comes to a HTPC.
Anyway, am I to assume from my reading that since my motherboard has a CIR header that this IR receiver is guaranteed to work with my Harmony and motherboard? I just want to make sure before I order one. I know I have to change the pinout which I don't think will be a problem.

well your using an ASRock E350M1,
the re-pin'ed CIR receiver from INTESET has been approved working on the A75M-ITX. so, yes, it can work on yours too. but again, i cant confirm you something no one tried... just like us sometimes, ==> guinea pig time Spyderturbo00! also, your wireless Logitech keyboard, which model is it? |

Adding onto this eskro, I believe that this feature does NOT actually work on some motherboards EVEN if it has such an option listed in the BIOS. For one thing, it seems that you need to have a USB header that supplies power even when your PC is off. It seems that this varies by motherboard and even varies by the different USB headers on your motherboard. I will be able to report findings when I try some things out on on my asrock a75m-itx..

FORT LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla., Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nova Southeastern University (NSU) President and CEO George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., recently presented Raymond Ownby, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., with the 3rd Annual Provost's Research and Scholarship Award.
The purpose of the award is to recognize a faculty member who has demonstrated significant achievement in support of NSU's mission to foster scholarship, intellectual inquiry, and academic excellence. Research and scholarship are two of NSU's eight core values, and excellence in these areas enhances education, patient care, and public service, and develops superior scholarship.
"I congratulate Dr. Ownby for exemplifying excellence in research and scholarship, as well as his significant contributions to the fields of psychiatry and behavioral medicine," said Hanbury.
The announcement was made at the External Funding Recognition Reception, hosted by Gary S. Margules, Sc.D., vice president of NSU's Office of Research and Technology Transfer, at which NSU faculty members from all disciplines across the university are recognized for their commitment to advancing their fields of study.
"I am incredibly honored to be selected by my peers for this prestigious honor," said Ownby. "I am grateful to NSU for believing in me and my team and allowing us and our fellow researchers to pursue knowledge and discovery in our fields."
Ownby, who serves as a professor and chair of NSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, was nominated by Robin Jacobs, Ph.D., M.S.W., who is also from the College of Osteopathic Medicine.
"This award recognizes distinguished accomplishments in the pursuit of research and scholarly activities across the academic disciplines," said Ralph V. Rogers, Ph.D., NSU provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. "Dr. Ownby has a natural ability to connect to students and enhance their education through mentorships and collaboration."
Ownby has published more than 100 articles and has been the recipient of several research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Recently, he and his team received a $1.35 million federal grant to create innovative methods to evaluate patients' health literacy.
His research and clinical interests include examination of the ways in which stress, mood, and inflammation interact in older adults.
Ownby was the founder of the Brain Fitness Program in the Center on Aging in Miami, a program to help midlife and older adults maintain their mental fitness, and has since created a brain fitness program at NSU.
Among other accolades, Ownby was recently selected by Best Doctors® as an expert in the field of medicine and is board certified in adult psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, behavioral sleep medicine, clinical neuropsychology, and neuropsychiatry.
He has served as contributing editor, section editor, and ad hoc reviewer for numerous prestigious peer-reviewed journals, and he is a founding member of the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.

First the flags came, and then the candles, old veterans clinging to the patriotic colors while young students held their hands around the flickering flame that was to symbolize memories of horrors passed, but not forgotten.
Each year, the community gathers in City Hall to mark Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is an annual event usually held around the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising in 1943.
The historic event becomes more important each year as those with living memories of the Nazis' atrocities pass away, and the community seeks to pass along these tales of outrage with the hope that future generations will keep it from happening again.
Of dozens that once lived in the area with a living memory of the horrors of that time, only four still live in Bayonne: Luba Woloski, Katie Berces, Regina Resnick, and Sally Friedman, all of whom returned again this year to continue to effort to keep the memory alive.
Bayonne, according Dr. Joseph Ryan, who served as moderator for this year's ceremony, is one of the few places where this event is held in a municipal council chambers.
Held this year on April 17, the event featured guest speaker Fanya Heller, a survivor of the Holocaust, who recounted her story in book called "Love in a World of Sorrow: A Teenage Girl's Holocaust Memoir."
Heller is a Holocaust survivor, author and educator who survived the horrors of the Holocaust by hiding from the Nazis with the help of two Christian rescuers. Her life story was designed to help those who suffered through discrimination and the horrors of war. Born in a small Ukrainian village in 1924, she and her family hid from Nazi death squads with help. Nearly always hungry and marked for death, they were constantly in fear of discovery.
More than a decade-old tradition in Bayonne
The Jewish community enacts this gathering to remember those that suffered, those that fought, and those that died during the worst act of mass genocide in modern history.
Each year, members of the Bayonne community come together to sing, pray, and recall the horrors inflicted on the Jewish people and other victims. The ceremony has been held in the municipal building since 1979, and is part of a worldwide effort to remind the general public of the systematic slaughter of six million Jews and five million others.
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of Europe's Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Also targeted were gypsies, the handicapped, some Slavic people, communists, socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals. Yet of all those targeted, Jews suffered the most extreme loss of life, with nearly two out of every three European Jews murdered by the end of World War II.
Although the Jewish community recognizes the Holocaust as beginning with the rise of Adolph Hitler as the dictator of the Third Reich in 1932, the mass murder began in March 1942.
When the killing ended, those who survived were released from concentration camps and came out of hiding. Vowing to keep the memory alive for future generations, the Jewish community established Yom Hashoah.
"We are not just here to immortalize those who perished, but also how to understand how frail democracy is." – Mayor Mark Smith
The Rev. Rose Choen Hassan said the theme for Yom Hashoah this year was "Choosing to Act," recalling the stories of rescue. She said many of the people who aided victims of the Holocaust were ordinary people who did heroic things.
"Many rescuers did not see themselves as that way," she said, noting that people in one French village refused to accept praise for hiding 5,000 Jews.
Mayor Mark Smith said that as mayor he has no more important an obligation than to attend this event each year.
"It is a grim reminder of man's humanity to man," he said. "But it also reminds us what happens when no one stands up against these things."
Smith said it is important to pass on these tales of horror to future generations and instill in the next generation the importance of remembering.
"We are not just here to immortalize those who perished, but also how to understand how frail democracy is, and how, once the Nazis did away with democracy, they started these horrors."
Council President Terrence Ruane said he had been stationed in the Germany when he served in the U.S. military, at which time he had the opportunity to visit the death camps.
"They had a profound effect on me and stayed with me 45 years later," he said, and also said people need to keep the memory alive.
"We are seeing few people who have memories of these things," he said. "We must keep these memories alive."
In her keynote speech, Heller recalled that some of the experiences and how some things made animals of civilized people, hunger driving people to do things they did not do in normal life.

Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following.

We're looking to start running a Monday Throwback Movie Night. We aren't married to any particular spot for hosting the event, or a particular day (we just both have monday nights off).

Blockbusters? Indie? Cult? You can get those anywhere. This is the group for movies so bad they're good.
