The Warriors had just planted a pair of 3-pointer late in the first half when Cami Kalbfleisch squeezed off a try from the left side of the arc. The ball banged off the rim and leapt to the top of the backboard, where it bounced four or five times.
That, of course, made it a dead ball, and an official blew his whistle. But just as the players started moving down the court, the ball whimsically tumbled off the board and into the hoop -- like a stockbroker falling into free money.
Without that trey, the Lewis-Clark State women's push fizzled -- just like three or four other potentially game-icing rallies.
So the 23rd-ranked Warriors weren't able to blow out Westminster, a club with just three wins. But they were more than happy to escape with a 77-70 Frontier Conference victory Saturday night at the Activity Center.
It turns out that the Griffins (3-14, 0-3) are hardly pushovers. Forward Shalee Fackrell, one of the top scorers in the NAIA, put up 19 points while guards Lindsey Huffman and Emily Johnson posted 22 and 13 points, respectively.
After LCSC (14-5, 3-0) pieced together a 13-point lead with six minutes left, it was Huffman and Johnson who led Westminster back. Johnson bottomed out a 3-pointer, followed by a three-point play and another triple from Huffman. Then, with 3:47 remaining, Fackrell slipped in two foul shots to tie it, 65-all.
This seemed to flip the Warriors' switch. On successive possessions, Jade Fulbright chased in an offensive rebound, Leah McCauley buried a short jumper, Nikki Haerling split two free throws and Fulbright made a twisting layup.
"The great thing is, we found a way to win," LCSC coach Brian Orr said. "Westminster was game; they weren't backing down from anything. They looked confident out there the whole night."
This contest could signal the rise of the Griffins. It was only the third time all of their players were available. Plus, they played a nonconference schedule that included dates with seven teams rated in the NAIA top 25 and two NCAA Division I clubs.
"And of course, I'm new," first-year coach JD Gustin said. "So we're still trying to find ourselves. So to come into a place like this, with the tradition that L-C has, that makes me extremely proud of our kids."
Westminster took advantage of two Warrior deficiencies -- their defense and rebounding. LCSC opened the game and the second half with a man-to-man scheme, but switched after just a few plays.
"I don't know if you noticed," Orr said, "but every time we went man, it was just like the parting of the seas, and Huffman was going right to the basket. If she didn't score, we fouled her and she scored at the line.
"We worked on a 1-3-1 (zone defense) this week just in case -- just in case," he added. "And it was just in case pretty early."
LCSC sophomore post Ashley Baker battled foul trouble all night, and ended up fouling out. McCauley, the backup post from Grangeville, scored 19 points on 7-for-11 shooting while Haerling added 18 points. Fulbright, who was especially effective down the stretch, finished with 10 points and six rebounds.
"I thought our girls played hard, but we just looked a step slow," Orr said. "And not to make excuses, but we just haven't recovered over the flu bug. ... I don't think anyone is at 100 percent."
Johnson 5-16 0-0 13, Huffman 5-14 9-11 22, Fackrell 5-10 9-12 19, Layton 1-4 0-0 3, Barney 2-6 2-2 6, Baldwin 2-5 0-0 4, Haberle 1-1 0-0 3, Hirschi 0-0 0-0 0, Dodge 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 21-56 20-25 70.
Kalbfleisch 3-9 0-0 7, K. West 4-8 3-4 9, Baker 3-9 1-4 7, Haerling 6-11 2-6 18, Fulbright 4-10 2-2 10, Hart 0-1 0-0 0, Wittmer 0-0 0-0 0, Yancheva 0-0 0-0 0, Boggs 0-1 0-0 0, V. West 3-7 0-0 6, Jackson 0-1 1-2 1, McCauley 7-11 5-6 19. Totals 30-68 13-23 77.
Halftime score -- Lewis-Clark State 42, Westminster 34. Three-point goals -- Westminster 8-22 (Johnson 3-12, Huffman 3-7, Layton 1-2, Haberle 1-1), L-C 4-11 (Kalbfleisch 1-3, K.

Online Reservations
We've been in search of a restaurant before events at the Opera House or Paramount for some time. GEM fits the bill nicely, if the weather's okay. (It's about a three-block walk.) A coupon good for a free appetizer prompted us to seek out GEM. We're glad we did. All our dishes - Grilled romaine with blackened tuna & Hamachi and tuna tartare appetizers, followed by pressed crisp chicken and roasted sea bass entrees - were good-to-outstanding. My sea bass might have been a bit too raw for some, but I enjoyed it. The menu has a seafood bias, with Italian and oriental accents. The wine list is short, but we enjoyed the Kim Crawford NZ sauvignon blanc. The dining room is small, with fringed lamps and heavy red curtains.
My first time dining here. During restaurant week, so energetic bar crowd and quite a fully small dining room. The dining room is dimly lit and quite attractive, given its somewhat funky design and furniture. I dined with two friends, and we all remarked how delightful and well prepared the food was. The only drawback to the entire evening was the pathetic wine list. it is very small, and, sadly, very poorly selected by someone who doesn't know good wine from bad wine. Even the more pricy ones are terrible red wines to drink, so we settled the best of the worst and made do.
Generally nice experience. Found the uniforms of staff oddly matched to decor and theme, whatever that might be. But overall staff was friendly and professional, experience good, $$ reasonable.
Food was great, service was excellent, very romantic atmosphere (couple in the lounge area got to 2nd base lol) Fair prices. Would recommend for date night.
I love GEM. It's a very enjoyable and trendy place, love the food, the music and the staff. They're awesome, very quick and friendly. The music is mixed ranging from house, hip hop, to techno, depending on the night - but let's just say, it's always pumping in there! Special thanks to the manager and my favorite cocktail waitress Mia! see you all soon... :)
Our group of 3 went to Gem for restaurant week. We had a reservation and it wasn't busy, so I was surprised when the hostess first wanted to seat us at a hightop in the lounge. But she was happy to move us at a dining room table when we asked. Our waiter was great - friendly and informative. We all chose from the restaurant week menu and were very happy with our choices. The appetizers we sampled were the Bruschetta Buratta and the Goat Cheese Tortellini. Both were very tasty, with fresh ingredients. My entree, hangar steak, was cooked just how I like it and the accompanying potatoes au gratin were delicious. My dining companion who had the salmon was happy were her entree as well. Warm chocolate donuts for dessert. Yum!
Everyone was good especially the burrata app and the chicken under a brick!
We were a little nervous at first since we were the only ones there on a Friday night at 6:45 for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised. The food and service was excellent.
The staff at the GEM were wonderful and accommodating and friendly without hovering. Though the menu variety was limited, both my guest and I found several dishes we were interested in and would come back to try. We have one problem with a food allergy that they responded swiftly to and it didn't deter from the lovely meal and service. The antipasti was great and I loved the chicken under brick. Sangria was quite tasty. A lovely experience.
Wow! What a great first experience. Excellent cozy romantic atmosphere. Authentic Italian food. Perfect service. We will return.
Food was plentiful and delicious…our waitress was fantastic! The chicken park was yummy and the portion just humongous.
A nice find, close to the theatre for our night out. The Veal parm was great, delicious pasta and pasta fagioli. The wine was pricey, and canned music a bit loud, but overall highly recommended.
Gem is on a side street in downtown Boston. It's on the second floor and has plenty of unique atmosphere. The restaurant is small but very comfortable. The food is very good.

NOTE: The parish of Wigtown should not be confused with the town of Wigton across the Solway Firth in Cumbria, England. Wigtown was a parish located in the former county of Wigtownshire at the top of Wigtown Bay. Both county and parish ceased to exist following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1974. The parish had an area of 33.1km2 (12.8 sq. miles) and had 2 neighbouring parishes: Kirkinner and Penninghame. The parish included the settlements of Bladnoch, Carsegowan and the town of Wigtown. Wigtown is now located in the Dumfries and Galloway Council Area, some 5 miles (8 km) south of Newton Stewart.
Wigtown in Machars, Wigtownshire, in the Dumfries and Galloway council region, is an area about six miles long and four miles wide, comprising about 7000 acres bounded on the east by Wigtown bay and on the south by the river Bladnoch, lying east of Stranraer and south of Newton Stewart. Wigtownshire is retained as a Lieutenancy Area, and within Wigtownshire this area of Wigtown is a ward, a government district in the region of Dumfries and Galloway council. (See: Subdivisions of Scotland.) Wigtown is also the name of a town and former royal burgh in the (above) Wigtown. It is well known today as Scotland's National Book Town with a concentration of second-hand book shops. It has a population of about 1,000. There is a Royal Burgh of Wigtown and District Community Council, refer http://www.wigtowncc.org.uk/Wigtown/Welcome.html Wigtown remains the gateway to and main centre of the Machars. Due to the North Atlantic Drift (Gulf Stream) the climate is mild and plants normally associated with the Southern Hemisphere can successfully be grown here. For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Wigtown. which provides an extensive history of the parish and the town.

The cervical cancer jab has only become available in the last couple of years and is being given to teenage girls to prevent them developing potentially fatal cervical cancer in their 20s and 30s.
Cervical cancer does not happen because of the ageing process as many other cancers do; scientists have shown that 99% of cases are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The cervical cancer jab works by vaccinating women against the most common cancer-causing types of HPV.
This article on the cervical cancer vaccination jab is by Kathryn Senior, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
HPV is a sexually-transmitted virus, also known as the wart virus, as some varieties cause genital warts. There are many different strains of HPV, not all of which are cancer-causing. Up to 75% of women who are or have been sexually active may be infected at some time in their lives. In most cases, the virus is harmless and is cleared from the system naturally. However, cancer-causing strains of the virus can lead to the growth of abnormal cells on the cervix. These pre-cancerous changes can become cancerous if not treated but can be picked up on a smear test. This makes it possible for treatment to be done very quickly to prevent the development of life-threatening cervical cancer.
Far fewer women would have to go through this, however, if they were vaccinated against the HPV virus. The cervical cancer vaccination jab could prevent a significant number of cervical cancers and could mean that many women never have to go through the worry of a positive smear test.
Two different cervical cancer jabs have been developed, Cervarix and Gardasil. The cervical cancer jab that the Government has chosen for the vaccination program in school-age girls is Cervarix. Cervarix has been tested in a large clinical trial of 1 000 women aged under 26. Over 70 000 doses have been given in clinical trials, and more than a million doses have now been given in Britain alone. Cervarix is licensed in more than 90 countries; in the UK, it is licensed for the prevention of precancerous changes in the cervix in girls and women between the age of 10 and 25.
The HPV vaccine is being offered as part of a national cervical cancer vaccination program to all girls in school Year 8 (aged 12 and 13). This is because research has shown that it is most effective to vaccinate girls before they become sexually active and encounter the virus. A catch-up program is also underway to provide the cervical cancer jab to older girls, up to the age of 18. Girls who are already sexually active before being vaccinated may not yet have encountered HPV, and even those who have may not have encountered the types of HPV that cause cancer. Therefore, vaccination against the most common cancer-causing types of HPV will still provide benefit.
Every girl actually gets three cervical cancer jabs. The first injection is administered, followed by a second 1–2 months later. The third and final injection is given 6 months after the first, to complete the course. It is important to have all three injections in order to gain protection.
Cervical cancer kills more than 1 000 women per year in the UK. It is estimated that cervical cancer vaccination through the cervical cancer jab will save approximately 400 lives a year. However, it is important to remember that there are several cancer-causing types of HPV, and the cervical cancer jab does not protect against them all. It also will not provide protection against existing HPV infection. This is why the government has no plans to change the NHS National Screening Program for cervical cancer. Just because you have had the cervical cancer jab it is still very important that you get regular cervical smear tests. These are available for women between 25 and 49, every three years and for women between 49 and 65 every five years.
The risks of cervical cancer are well established and are far greater than any risk associated with the cervical cancer jab. However, as with any vaccination, side-effects can occur. The most common are pain, discomfort, redness or swelling at the site of the injection, headaches, tiredness, or muscle pain/weakness.
Some people may also experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal pain, rash, joint pain or fever, and very occasionally, dizziness or infection of the nose or throat. Rarely, the cervical cancer jab may cause an allergic reaction, but this is estimated to occur with only one in one million vaccinations.
Although the case of a school girl who sadly died after receiving the cervical cancer jab has been widely reported, it has since been shown that the cause of death was a malignant tumour and was not related to the cervical cancer jab.
Yes. This can't be emphasised enough. Cervical cancer jab does not protect against existing HPV infection or against all of the cancer-causing types of HPV. Therefore, smear tests are still extremely important in detecting early changes in the cells of the cervix so that they can be treated before they become cancerous. All women should start their regular smear tests at the age of 25, whether or not they have had the cervical cancer jab.

Where does one find those "Bump out, hotel-style shower rods"? What are they *really* called?
Spa Bathrooms on the Cheap
I don't know about you, but busting the family budget for relaxing spa treatments is something I have a hard time justifying, no matter how frazzled I am. Granted, there are some things you may have a hard time doing for yourself at home, like massage therapy, for example. But there are many treatments you can do at home that I think are actually more relaxing to do that way. Here are some tips for creating spa bathrooms on the cheap.
Not having to rush out into inclement weather because there's another appointment booked after you is a good thing. So is taking all the time you need with your chilled cucumber eye treatment, bubble bath wine, clay and walnut facial, and home paraffin treatment.
One of my favorite places to get a massage is the MGM Grand spa in Las Vegas. Not necessarily because of the massage quality (although their deep tissue and hot stone treatments are oh-so-phenomenal), but because of the full day access to the rest of the spa that you get whenever you book a treatment. It's one of the best bargains in Vegas and includes this enormous sunken Jacuzzi that's the size of a small swimming pool, relaxing chairs to recline while enjoying ice chilled facial towels and cucumber slices for your eyes, giant steam room, loads of relaxing quiet Zen atmosphere, your own locker...why am I going on about this? Because I think it's important to note the massage is only one component of the relaxation experience.
Getting changed into a comfy warm robe and relaxing in plush reclining seats with healthy snacks and lemon infused spring water for an hour or so before your massage really gets you relaxed to enjoy the experience. Afterward, you can enjoy the bubbling Jacuzzi and steam room and really take all the time you need to face reality again. That's what makes their experience much more enjoyable than the usual walk-in appointment massage. And to some extent it's easily replicated in your own home. Here are some suggestions for carving out a personal retreat in your own home that feels like a professional spa.
Bump out, hotel-style shower rods
These things are great, and unless you have shower doors attached to your tub unit, you can use one. They give you a ton more usable space, are great for narrower tubs, and feel oh-so-luxurious. Bonus? If you're renting, you can take it with you when you leave.
Clear jars with airtight lids
These keep everything dust free, on display and help promote that "professional spa, everything is here you could possibly want" feel. They're also helpful for us old folks who are fed up with trying to remember what container everything is in. Another reason I like glass is because it's easily cleaned and doesn't scratch easily.
Glass jars are great for storing homemade spa products as well as bath beads, swabs and cotton balls. You can mix and match these to your heart's desire, but having a few groups of 2-3 matching jars provides a more dramatic look. A couple of suggestions for keeping it cheap? First, save your empty candle jars with the snap on lids. Most of these have a really tight seal and they come in fun shapes. Just scrub the labels off and sanitize. One of the sexiest modern shapes for candle jars I've seen is at Linens and Things. I think the brand is called Colonial. They have a tall elongated oval shape. Overabundant stashes of cotton balls and bath beads look great in these.
Second? Canning jars. The old fashioned ones with the metal latches and glass tops are fun, but the newer ones with the screw on lids work just as well. If you feel like these might give you more of a country/cottage look than you are comfortable with, I encourage you to check out the canning section of your nearest discount department store. There's a whole new line of Ball brand jars out there with a wider, more contemporary design and professional industry-style platinum colored lids.
Consider going monochromatic
Try a monochromatic look or at least go lighter/more subtle with your color variations. (Perhaps a tone on tone look?) This should help make your bath area feel more spacious.
Shop the supply stores
Bulk towels, comfy robes, professional pump bottles, paraffin treatment supplies, new files, professional grade grooming tools...these are all things you can purchase reasonably at beauty and hotel supply places. For anything made with toweling, I have several friends from the travelers' circuit that swear by picking these things up when they are in Turkey. I'm personally a huge fan of Sally's Beauty Supply for manicure related items.
Industrial shelving
Personally, I love the restaurant style 5-6 shelf units in chrome or brushed stainless steel with the heavy-duty castor wheels. Why? Well, for starters these are some of the only pieces of furniture that have held up during my nomadic years — move, after move, after move. Giving them a thorough cleaning with a scrub brush doesn't damage the finish and neither does water — something you can't say for varnished wooden pieces. They clean easily with simple homemade products and roll out of the way for thorough floor scrubbings.
Metro shelving comes in various sizes and styles and have coordinating individual shelf units and add-ons like wine glass holders, hanging wine racks and roll-out drawers. These pieces are easily integrated into bathrooms without storage. I think they give a professional feel to a luxurious home bath, particularly one in a loft or a storage-sparse apartment. (Bonus: You can also use industrial shelving to pimp your garage.)
Don't forget the footwear
If you really want to go the extra distance in your spa room, don't forget some one-size fits all slippers to put on after moisturizing treatments, and some flip flops for pedicure nights. Flip flops can be purchased inexpensively at dollar stores. As for cheap slippers, Ikea usually has them by the bin at their show stores. They're made of terry cloth so they are easily laundered, and the bottoms have rubberized traction for safety.
Keep it sparkling on the cheap and easy
I keep spray bottles of cleaners I need at all high-frequency cleaning stations throughout the house. In the bathroom, that means inside the shower as well as under the sink. The two I use most often are a vinegar and water solution with a citrus based essential oil/extract, and a water and rubbing alcohol mix. The first is for most of the general frequent cleaning, and the second is for sterilizing handles and light switches during cold / flu season, as well as a quick and cheap shine treatment for mirrors, glass and chrome. Believe me, I'm not a fanatic about this by any means. It's just that it's much faster to have cleaning rags and sprays at the ready, and keeping things sleek and shiny maintains that spa atmosphere for little money.
Beverage center
I'm not saying you need to run right out and find room for a mini bar in your bathroom (although I'm sure it's been done). But since the steel shelving units now come with drop down wine and glass racks, this may be a way to have that merlot within easy grasp before you step into that bubble bath. Sparkling mineral water would also be great. This is assuming you're comfortable with the European style of certain beverages being served at room temperature. If not, and you have the room, then a mini fridge is in order. Note: if you already own a home with a master suite, then this is much more easily integrated. In which case, consider going the extra mile and have a hot water supply with selected teas and a supply of honey and lemon.
Stock up
Find the affordable sources for spa products in your area or make your own where possible. Having been out of the loop for a while, I was surprised to discover that Family Dollar carries a selection of reasonably luscious items for minimal money. Body butters, foot scrubs, scented sprays...if you don't feel like making your own, this might be a way to go. Make sure you have lots of cotton balls, swabs, plush towels, etc.
Go get some gadgets
This is not something you need to do all at once. The other nine steps will certainly get you started in style. I'm also not suggesting you go out and buy a bunch of doodads to sit around and collect dust. What I am saying is to pick up a chill-able gel eye mask or two and give some serious thought to the types of spa and salon treatments you enjoy the most. Then, when you are financially ready and feel the time is right, pick up some supplies to support them.
For example, if facials are your thing you may want to get a small supply of stretchy head bands, a fan brush to romance the clay mask application, and perhaps a towel steamer if you really want to indulge. If pedicures and manicures are your thing, then you may want to pick up some toe separators, beauty gloves, manicure tools, and if you really want to take it over the top, one of those paraffin appliances they have at the nail salons.
Another affordable way to kick your bathroom up a notch is through the selection of an upgraded shower head. After my recent article on extreme showering, a few people recommended switching shower heads. A trip to the shower aisle at the nearest giant hardware store really opened my eyes to the possibilities. In addition to the removable hose options, one of the most dramatic shower head options I saw was the rainfall style. It was under 40 bucks and also came with an elongated version to provide total body coverage.
I'm sure there are other ideas out there, and would love to hear any suggestions from readers as to how they may have carved out their own personal spa retreats. (Anybody have an idea for an affordable outdoor shower?) One thing I didn't really cover here was extra atmosphere enhancers like music, nature sounds, candles, or aromatherapy. I'd love to hear some suggestions for that category specifically. In the meantime, happy relaxing!
I have seen these called curved shower rods, at amazon it's called crescent...photo gives you the idea:
You know, I have to tell you, I've never seen them have a special name. I've asked for them a time or two at home stores with that same phrase, and the salesperson can usually take you right to them. It's also a phrase I've heard on numerous design shows over the years. You might also try asking for curved shower rods if the bump out phrase throws your sales helper. They are basically curved in a sort of half circle shape which brings the curtain out a few inches. Makes a huge difference. Good luck.
I just picked up a few, 1 foot tall, air tight jars from Ikea. They were only #3.99 a piece. They have a ton of different ones to choose from. Their catalog page. -- Jerry Freeman
Bed bath and beyond has the shower rods in question. Most places just call them curved shower rods.
Target has some interesting glass jars in the kitchen department. They have a mini version of cracker jars.
I don't every recall seeing them there, but they always have cool stuff. Congratulations on finding such good ones. A foot tall! You can really stock up on bath beads with those.
This much effort stresses me out.
Here's my way:
Send the rest of the family out for a few hours. Turn out the lights & light a candle. Put on relaxing music. Have a long, hot bath. Take a nap. Done. For hands-on, trade nights as massage therapist with significant other.
No extra stuff to buy, things to organize, or shopping to find just the right style, etc. Chrome doesn't have to sparkle. Don't need more "stuff".
In fact, I got rid of the junk and stripped down to the bare necessities.
Make life simple and each moment pleasurable, and you won't feel the need for spa treatments. Get rid of the stress by preventing it instead of having to "deal with it" later with relaxation techniques.
You know what, if you've only got one of those corner showers, I'd still try one of the curved / bump out / crescent rods. You'll need all the extra room you can get.
A few other ideas for the smaller bath? Celebrate some of the home made or store bought items you can use in the shower, like scented shower gel, great conditioner, nail brush, etc. Then store them with organizational items designed for a small shower.
If you have room over your toilet commode, the industrial style shelving items sometimes come in a style that's designed to utilize that space. Go with fewer items and pick ones you really like. A few great towels, cotton balls, swabs and instead of bath beads, try some custom scented homemade shower spray . The point is not to over do it for the sake of overdoing it. It's to pick out items you'll enjoy and that will make you feel refreshed. This can include, as the guest mentioned above, silence and solitude. The smaller your bath, the more carefully I think you should select your items.
Just remembered another cool idea I saw once that's dirt cheap. If you have an open vent register in your bathroom, and open wall space above it, dig up a wooden runged ladder from the flea market or hopefully your own attic. Clean it up and spray paint it a color you feel goes with the bath. Attach it to the wall with a little bit of room between ladder and wall. You now have a cost effective version of the towel warmer. These are also great to put magazines over the railings, library style.
To everyone else, thanks for posting the links to shower rods and all of your comments. Glad you are all enjoying this!
...fix an "overzealous" bathtub overflow? It won't allow me to fill the tub more than about halfway. They used to sell those plastic cups that fit over the overflow, but, now that I need one, I can't find them anymore. I've thought of caulking up part of the overflow, but is there a better way?
These are some great ideas. One little splurge that I've really enjoyed is picking up a heated towel rack with an Amazon gift certificate I got. It was a little over $50 and I was able to hang it in my tiny bathroom over the toilet and plug it into a regular outlet. It's a wonderful luxury that I enjoy every day, plunging my face into the warmest part of the towel when I get out of the shower. It was one of those things that I always enjoyed when I stayed in a nice hotel. I'd say if there's something you particularly enjoy about a spa, it may be worth a little expense to find a way to enjoy it every day.
Thanks again to all of you writing in with great ideas and sources for the jars and other spa items. I think the kitchen cracker jar post was interesting because it takes a shape you might not expect and uses it in the bathroom. Besides that, those jars tend to be larger and more pumpkin shape. The size alone adds a luxurious feel even if you are only filling it with cotton balls.
For the person with the overactive overflow feature in the tub . . . you know, I've never seen the cups you mentioned to solve the problem. Maybe a professional contracting supply company or plumber might be able to help? We had a tub like that in Italy. It really gets in the way of the "full immersion experience" doesn't it? Keep us posted on how you make out.
You know, we were actually out in civilization this weekend, and the hotel had these. They rock. I never would have guessed you could pick them up for 50 bucks or so. Thanks for bringing that to the forefront.
Not sure what overflow protector you have, but it may be possible just to remove it and re-install it upside down. That at least puts the overflow point up another few inches...
Hi Tim. Thanks for posting that suggestion. Sounds like a slick one that can be implemented very simply. I hope Kelly has a chance to check back so she can take advantage of your suggestion. I'm not much of a plumber, but that sounds do-able. Is there a special putty or anything necessary?
My bathtub had one of those overflow holes that ruined the whole bath experience. I used duct tape for the duration of one bath, and then remove it. The suction cups never really worked, anyway. Fancy? No, but functional.
Myscha, the point you make about a color scheme is SO right on. It makes all the difference. I like dove grays. Relaxes the eyes.
I have to admit, I'm chuckling through my coffee right now, because my husband is going to LOVE the fact that you suggested his favorite answer for everything . . . duct tape.
And I think the dove gray suggestion you made is very interesting for a couple of reasons. First, it's a bit out of the ordinary which is always great when you are trying to create something unique. Second, it fits in with one of the things I like the best about this entire type of bath makeover . . . it's a very unisex design idea. Going with some of the industrial items and clear glass makes this something the guys can get excited about too. Double ditto on your dove gray color scheme suggestion.
These post would be more helpful if there were links to the sources of the suggested features. I am interested in industrial shelving and carts. However, i have found them to be very expensive with outrageous freight and shipping charges. I think all of us have these ideas but the trick is finding a good place to buy these items economically. It is not helpful to be told something with no practical way to materialize the objects written about. Please provide links to places where i can acquire industrial shelfing and carts.

I am an American setting up a U.S. based subsidiary office for a small Eastern European company. What are the methods I can get paid assuming the company does not have capital for straight salary and I own 49% and they own 51% of the subsidiary LLC. I have negotiated a percentage of wholesale bulk sales which is negligible in terms of annual salary and the end consumer product goods will be the main revenue generator.
Is there a standard method of remuneration (salary vs. performance) or is it on a case by case basis? Is it typical for a CEO or Principal to be paid a % of gross sales, gross profit or net profit, etc if there is no salary?
Any one or other better for minimizing tax burden?

Patriots pack up, look to the promising future
Posted: 01/21/13 at 5:35 pm Updated: 01/21/13 at 5:50 pm
Tags: New England Patriots Gillette Stadium
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (WHDH) -- The New England Patriots' quest for a fourth Super Bowl ended with a screeching halt on Sunday.
"You play a game. You're either euphoria or crash landing. So for us [Sunday] was a crash landing," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
The remains of their postseason run once again stashed away in boxes and trash bags.
"Nature of this business, it's win it or go home," said Patriots cornerback Kyle Arrington.
"It's hard the first couple of days to think about that your season is over. That's the NFL. That's football. That's how it works," said Patriots defensive end Rob Ninkovich.
But what the Patriots will take with them into this offseason is the belief they will bounce back.
"The future is definitely bright so we've got to continue to be mentally strong and learn from it," said Ninkovich.
"We are one of the best teams in the league, y'all know that," said Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib.
"I'm looking forward to what next year brings. Take it from there," said Arrington
Belichick wouldn't comment on the future of his players, but he did confirm his. He stated that he will return next season and continue his run as the longest tenured head coach in the NHL.
The Patriots said they will take a few weeks off to heal their bodies and spend time with their families. After that, it's back to work on what the Patriots call a promising future for the football team.

What's Plaxico Burress doing? Whatever the fuck he wants to.

Eli Won The MVP But…
David Tyree is the real hero in this game. That jump ball catch, on 3rd and 5 with less than 1:15, to go, thrown by a scrambling for his life Eli Manning and caught on his head with Rodney Harrison draped all over him was one of the best moments in Super Bowl history. That play set up, what proved to be, the winning touchdown of the game just four players later with the Giants beating the Patriots 17-14. That says nothing of him catching the first touchdown pass of the game for the Giants and giving them a 10-7 lead. He played one great game but that catch will be remembered with some of the all time great plays of Super Bowls.
The video of it (while it's up) is below, but here's the quotes from some Giants and Patriots players, one coach and a brother that sums the catch all up:
"David Tyree, that's all you have to say." It was just a great catch by David Tyree. I found a way to get loose and just really threw it up. He made an unbelievable catch and saved the game." – Eli Manning
"Unbelievable, in Friday's practice, he was dropping everything." - Amani Toomer
"I don't know that there's ever been a bigger play in the Super Bowl than that play." – Tom Coughlin
"He made a hell of a play." – Asante Samuel
"Eli's pass to Tyree, I think, was one of the greatest plays of all time. You always see Swann's catch." Peyton Manning
Here's the video:

Far Cry 3
4 of 40
Like most modern games, Far Cry 3 is obsessed with achievements
Added by YID YANG Has Left In Protest (164169) on Dec 28, 2012
The intro, showing the carefree life of these youngsters, is in stark contrast with the grim reality of the game
Finally you can explore a village. Yes, you should buy a gun, but you prefer looking at pretty local girls
A view of the radio tower. Climbing on those structures maps your surroundings, just like in Assassin's Creed games
Fire plays an important role in the game: it can burn out the environment, spread to new territories and force the player (or the enemies) to change their location (or get burnt)
Another example of fire behavior in the game. However, the huts will get a "burnt" look, but stay as they are.

Reading a book on a Kindle Paperwhite is intuitive. To go to the next page, tap anywhere on the page, except near the top and along the left. Tap near the left edge of the display to move back one page. To see the toolbar, tap near the top edge of the display.
Go to a specific spot on your Kindle Paperwhite
You can also jump directly to various parts of a book. Tap near the top of the screen to display the toolbars, and then tap Go To. A pop-up window appears.
The list of Go To options may differ depending on the book. Here are the options you may see:
Beginning: The first words of text in the book.
Page or Location: A particular page or location in the book.
Cover: The book's cover.
Front Matter: Content that appears before the start of the book, such as a dedication.
Chapter listing: The list of chapters, similar to a traditional table of contents. Then tap a chapter title or number to go directly to that chapter.
If the chapter listing is more than one page long, swipe up the list with your finger to advance to additional chapters. A scroll bar indicator on the right provides an approximation of the length of the list.
About the Author: Biographical information about the author of the book.
Also Available: A list of additional books by the same publisher.
Copyright Page: Legal and copyright information and the ISBN for the book.
End: The end of the book.
Find your place on the Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite gives you several options for knowing your location in a book.
As you read, the area at the bottom of the screen displays a location number for the text currently in view and a percentage indicating how much of the book you've read. Tap the location number to cycle through the minutes left in the chapter, the hours and minutes left in the book, and the location. Your final choice becomes the default.
All e-books have location information, but not all have page numbers. Time to dig into the difference in these terms and how you may use them to reference different parts of a book:
Location: The concept of a fixed, printed page doesn't apply to e-books because you can vary the font type, font size, line spacing, and words per line. Instead of page numbers, e-books use location as a marker indicating how far you are in the e-book. The location remains constant even if the screen or font size changes.
One "unit" of location is equivalent to 128 bytes of information in the e-book file.
Page number: Many e-books can also display a page number that reflects the page number in the printed edition of the book. This information is helpful, for example, if you're in a reading group in which some members use Kindles and others use printed copies of the book.
Discover your reading speed
The Kindle Paperwhite can learn your reading speed, so it can tell you how many minutes or hours of reading time remain in the current chapter or book.
How does the Kindle Paperwhite determine how much reading time is left in a chapter or book? When you first open a book, Learning reading speed appears at the bottom of the screen. After the device calculates your reading speed, it uses this figure for the rest of your reading experience in that particular document.
The device can relearn your reading speed. This feature is helpful if you have paged very quickly through a book, making the reading speed inaccurate. Simply tap the top of the screen to display the toolbar, touch the Search icon, and type the following:
Tap the search arrow and the device will display 0 search results. Press the Back icon and Learning reading speed will again be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Menu options for Kindle Paperwhite books
When reading a book, you can access useful features by tapping the top of the screen to display the toolbar and then tapping the Menu icon.
The following options appear:
Shop Kindle Store: Go to the Kindle Store to browse and find e-books.
Book Description: Display the book's Kindle Store description. Wireless must be on to view this information.
About the Author: When available, see biographical information about the author as well as a list of other Kindle books that the author has written.
Landscape Mode: Change the orientation of the page from portrait to landscape mode.
Sync to Furthest Page Read: If you have viewed the current book on another device, you can adjust your location to the furthest page read.
Select this option if you want to use Whispersync to synchronize your Kindle Paperwhite book with an audio book from Audible.
Add Bookmark: Save a particular location in a book. One book can have multiple bookmarks. You can tell whether your current location is bookmarked by a little dog-ear icon that appears in the top-right corner.
View Notes & Marks: Display the highlighted sections, notes, and bookmarks for the current book. Popular highlights from other readers are also displayed.
Reading Progress: Select the default for the reading progress displayed at the bottom of the screen: location in book, time left in chapter, or time left in book.
Settings: Toggle Airplane mode on and off and access options for Wi-Fi networks, registration, reading, parental controls, time, language, and more.
If you don't see the Settings menu choice, make sure you have firmware version 5.3.0 or later on your Kindle Paperwhite. To determine the firmware version, from the Home screen, tap Menu→Settings→Menu→Device Info. The firmware version is displayed in the middle of the screen. If it is less than 5.3.0, upgrade your device.

It's cool to think about how people live in this type of place, as I find it cold and not very inviting. This reminds me of Donald Trump's home (but his home is more gaudy). I saw a tv tour of it once. It looks like someone threw up pink marble and gold leaf circa 1983. It's the ugliest home I've ever seen.

Washington, DC Monday, August 6, 2012
President Obama signed the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 in an Oval Office ceremony at the White House. The bill provides expanded access to health care and housing to veterans and also places restrictions on protest demonstrations at military funerals.
After signing the bill, the president responded to reporters about a shooting that occurred in Wisconsin over the weekend in which a gunman, Wade Michael Page, allegedly shot and killed six people attending religious services in a Sikh temple.

"Close to bell Centre"
Great spot for a hockey game or concert, three minute walk to Bell Centre, near all the bar action, great spot for shopping, Crescent Street, St. Catharines, couldn't ask for more, Funky hotel, great showers. I'd stay again, ask for 3rd floor, probably quieter.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Romantic and convenient location"
Went here for my wife's birthday weekend together. The hotel is nice, chic and modern. Very romantic.

"Creatively designed very cool hotel"
The location was terrific, and the sophisticated, creative décor of the hotel was so cool. Don't be put off by the nearby YMCA; the Ritz Carleton is only 2 blocks away! Parking was reasonably priced. The front desk staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't expecting free breakfasts, but they were included and fresh and yummy (continental). […] The restaurant staff was busy cleaning while we ate, which was mildly annoying, but we arrived at 9:30 and breakfast closed at 10am.

"walking distance to everything"
It is a great little hotel. We were upgraded to a suite when we checked in and was put into a corner room that was fabulous. It had a window seat that looked out over the road & being located at a corner, there was lots to see. The breakfast that was included was very typical of a continental breakfast which was fine for myself and my husband. The shower […] as everyone else has mentioned was great. A double shower with water coming from many different spots. Would definitely book there again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet little hotel instead of a big chain hotel.

"Recommended for a family of 4"
The hotel is surprisingly family-friendly. The initial vibe we got as soon as we got into our room was it was for couples. The partition between bathroom and actual bedroom is just a see through glass. But as soon as my kids jumped on the big bed, the room transformed into a family room. I was particularly happy with the free wifi and water bottles, […] which we needed while walking around the city. The reception was very friendly, courteous and approachable.

"great place to stay"
close to shopping, metro stations and crescent street - bars/nightlife. Small boutique hotel, trendy, comfortable, clean, quiet. Our stay included free continental breakfast at the restaurant downstairs. You could walk to the nearest metro station to explore montreal. You could also walk 1 - 2 blocks for shopping at regular stores and some high end […] stores. A couple of blocks away is crescent street - the english speaking nightlife area... some good restaurants and pubs. The museum of fine arts is also a couple of blocks away. Hotel does not have its own parking, so you have to pay to park at a garage located on the same street. You could also try Stanley park on Stanley street which is just one street over from Drummond st. We happened to be there on the weekend, so paid 50$ to park from Friday evening to Monday morning. Also there is some construction going on right next door to the hotel, so if you are there on the weekday, getting into or out of the hotel will be slightly inconvenient. staff is friendly, helpful and willing to offer ideas on exploring the city. Room otherwise was comfortable with a large king bed and free wi-fi. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu

"Unique hotel"
Overall, a great hotel in a good location. One problem was that the hotel staff did not inform us of the undrinkable condition of the tap water, and then did not provide us with a refill of bottled water throughout our whole stay. We loved the decor and the hotel was quiet and unique. Would likely recommend it to others.Gerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu
"Pleasant Stay"
Very good value for the money. The peek-a-boo shower was very interesting. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was better than average. Wireless internet worked very well. Parking was off site but close, indoors, and secure with friendly attendant. EXCELLENT location, close to Metro, buses, boutiques, pharmacy, good restaurants […] and within walking distance to Old Montreal. If you're a light sleeper, noise from the restaurant late at night could be a problem- talk to front desk clerk about room options. Would stay there again for sure.

Very chic boutique hotel, ultramodern interior. Great location, <5 min walk to Rue St Catherine, 10 min to Gare Centrale, close to art gallery, McCord Museum, BIXI bike rental stand right outside. Has a room with spinning bikes for workout. Fancy two-person shower with rain forest shower head and side sprays. the price I paid was fair value for money.

"Beautiful room, needs some deep cleaning"
We stayed in one of the Suites on a long weekend trip to Montreal. On first glance the suite was beautiful. However as we settled in, the cleanliness became an issue. The bed was clean and very comfortable, but sitting on the window seat, we notice an abundance of hair and dirt on the seat and sill. I had dropped a ring in the bathroom, and when I picked […] it up, I saw a LOT of hair and dirt under the sink. The shower tiles/floor could use a serious cleaning of the grout. Having no fridge in the room was a bit of an inconvenience, especially when they provide water (I guess people like it warm?) but the reception desk was very prompt and courteous in bringing us ice from the bar. Great location, close to great restaurants, shopping, and a nice stroll to Old Montreal. I'd recommend the hotel, BUT recommend checking it for cleanliness when you check in... if management reads this, perhaps get your maids to do a better job on the floors and window seats!

"Odd design, wonderful service"
I have been struggling to describe the aesthetic of Chez Swann for about a week. The closest I have come is minimalist, avant garde interpretation of Versailles. Not necessarily my taste, but taste aside... the service was wonderful. Every single person we spoke to went out of their way to offer advice. One employee even invited my boyfriend and I on […] a picnic. (We politely declined, having already made plans.) In addition to service, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotless. Would definitely consider returning on my next trip to Montreal. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Excellent location, friendly staff"
This hotel was very convenient to everything we wanted to see. There is a Metro stop just 2 blocks away, and many attractions are within walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. This boutique hotel is delightfully funky in decoration, and the room was very comfortable. Not being early risers, we found the skylight in the room woke us earlier […] than we wanted, but the accommodating hotel staff provided us with sleep masks that helped with that problem.

"Great Hotel - Terrible Room Location"
It's truly a lovely hotel with exceptional service. However, my room was on the second floor facing the alley. The alley where the adjoining restaurant keeps it's garbage.

"I loved it, but I can't see it lasting."
I found a sock that was sitting out in the open, I picked it up (with a pencil from the desk) wrote a note and 3 days later it was still sitting on the desk. I finally had to ask the front desk to remove it. I also found soap in the shower from the last guests. That also took 3 days to remove. They never changed my sheets until I stripped the bed and […] told them "Do it again, but with CLEAN sheets." The now non-complimentary breakfast was a bust. The usual: Yogurt, croissants (probably store bought) and fruit skewers. Which had fruit flies buzzing around them. Lovely. The concierge gave me the wrong information for the bus and left me walking to Old Montreal from Rue Ste. Drummond. One hamburger and a /glass/ of coke, not even a can but a glass of coke cost me $34. The room I was in, you could watch the person in the bathroom shower because the glass is perpendicular to the head of the bed. And they have the option of pulling back the curtains. Too bad the naked person doesn't have a choice. And they also woke me up a whole HOUR late for my wake up call. Good thing I had my alarm set. DevamıGerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu

The location is perfect, the restaurant downstairs is excellent the problem is the hotel, maybe if you are 25 years old or less you might enjoy this place more than us. They miss the basic of hotel service like regulate the temperature in your room ( way to hot and there is nothing you can do about it) no mini fridge for keeping some cold water or else, […] no kettle if you want to make some tea etc...

"Within walking distance of anywhere important"
Staff were professional and helpful. When I arrived, a couple registering in front of me seemed to be in a peculiar credit card situation and the receptionist was as patient and helpful as could be. I had stayed there before and the room was comfortable and clean-- full valued for the hotel.com rate, although I feel that the rack rate was excessive. […] The exterior is unprepossessing, especially compared to the nearby Mount Stephen building, and the hotel.com sheet referred to a city view, but it was more like a view of a parking lot-- however, the interior is dynamic and up to date, while still being cosy. Breakfast in the nearby café, which can be entered directly from the lobby, was continental but fine. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu

"Great location but can be noisy."
This is a funky little hotel with very friendly staff. Check in and checkout was both fast and painless. The bathroom and shower was very spacious and obviously a key selling point of the hotel. My room was quite clean with no glaring issues. The location was perfect. It's a quick walk away from pretty much everything. Lots of shopping, eateries and […] bars were only a few minutes away. If anything was a little further away, there is quick access towards public transportation. There is also an indoor parking garage available nearby. It was easy to access and felt pretty safe. Maybe a little pricey but it was nice to have one nearby. One problem though is the soundproofing. Luckily for me I'm a heavy sleeper so the noise from outside didn't bother me. When I was awake though it was quite easy to hear people and staff walking by all the time. Being placed beside the elevator didn't help what so ever. The floors also creaked quite a bit so unless you are a heavy sleeper, keep in mind the noise level. This is a great hotel for couples but not so for families. Shower is see through from the bedroom and even with a curtain to cover it, it is quite inappropriate for families. DevamıGerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu

Best location, close to shopping on St. Catherine's St., 3 blocks from the Bell Centre and nightlife on Crescent St. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was good (bread & pastries, coffee/tea, juice, cereal, yogurt, fruit on some days), the room was large and has very modern decor (the shower wall is a window that looks into the bedroom!), bed was comfortable, […] WIFI worked without issues, the bathroom was spacious and shower had good pressure, only reason I didn't rate the cleanliness higher was that when we checked in, there were some glass shards on the bathroom floor, and the corners of the shower needed a scrubbing, other than that everything was perfect.

Wonderful boutique hotel! My husband and I enjoyed the stay very much - the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is within walking distance of several shops (boutique and chain stores) and restaurants. Underground Montreal isn't too far away either. The room was clean, and the best part was the dual shower (which is […] why I'd say it's good for couples!). Complimentary wifi is available. There is no room service, although there is a full-service restaurant adjoining the hotel. Taxi service is easy to get, since the hotel is so well located. The noise level during our stay was normal.

360 degree torso twist
Posted 10 June 2012 - 02:17 PM
Posted 10 June 2012 - 02:23 PM
I mean, take this example... if they decide to actually make zero mechs capable of 360 torso twist, it really won't be the end of the world for anyone who wants it. I mean, given that there is no specific requirement from anyone to have it on any specific mech, and no one's advocating for it to be on every mech, no one's really going to miss anything. The game itself will just have a little less depth and variety in this one regard. No one's actually gonna be like, "OMG, I can't play this!"
But if they DO add it to select mechs? Seems like you're gonna freak out, because you're basing your opinions purely upon whether something existed in a pen and paper game.

Hmmm... I'm looking at the dev quote you've provided, and I'm failing to see where they even mention torso twist.
As close as possible is PGI's way of placating the Hardcore BT fans while leaving themselves wiggle-room to make gameplay adjustments. Nothing is set in stone.

That's generally why most of the assaults had very restrictive torso twisting.
Posted 10 June 2012 - 03:44 PM
It's not the end of the world if we don't get it, but it's also not the end of the world if we do. I think most mechs should have their own torso twist limits, with the biggest, meanest assaults (Dire Wolf ) having more limited twist to make it easier for lights to chew up their rear armor.

But the Raven already has a niche in electroinc warfare, how does having a 360 torso twist help with that?
It could be useful on a Mad Dog to set up shots and run away quick, but is it really nessecary? If you know what you're doing with a fire support mech, you'll need to move forward more than back.

Honestly way the Devs have said they are staying as close to cannon as possibly - means no 360; and honestly its a good thing as if you threw this on light mech; you make it far more dangerous than it was; makes circle jerking so easy that its not funny.......
Devs have also said they are not going for arcady; but simulation........while some say piloting a 360 mech is harder; I say no its easier.......it takes more skill to pilot something with smaller turning to make sure to keep your back from being pumelled; also not being about to know where your enemy is at all times.
So no; 360 in this game I think would be way too powerful.......please remember; what works in an arcade style game.....does not usually translate well into a simulation style game......

You may not get it and I attribute it to a lack of experience. The moment you run into a 360 Mech, there will be no dead angle it can't cover. On the other hand, the torso twist is generally slower than on say 180 Mechs, so that means it is committed once it starts turning. If you ever drove such a Mech, you will know that it is as much as an advantage as it is a disadvantage. You may be able to cover all angles but your ability to react quickly is reduced. Plus you have to plan out your movements more carefully, lest you run into objects all the time at full speed. This will make you an easy target and that extra awareness you need to maintain is very distracting.
Long story short: get some seat time and then come back and tell us how it went.

Seriously... different torso twist angle and speed bring life to a mech, and offers gameplay. I don't see why there is so much fear about 360 turning mechs...

True, but the Mad Dog isn't a fire support mech, it's a skirmish mech. It's got 60% more weight dedicated to lasers than LRMs. Calling it fire support isn't much different from calling the Timberwolf fire support. Clan LRM-20s have direct-fire capability and no minimum range for a reason
