RALEIGH - Five years ago, Scott Wood reached out to his future teammate with a text. They had crossed paths on the AAU circuit, but Wood sent the message to officially introduce himself to the newest member of N.C. State's recruiting class.
Richard Howell replied. To say he did anything more would be an embellishment.
"I was like, 'Word, what's up Scott?' " Howell recalled with a laugh. "That's the last time I talked to him before we got to school."
The connection is much clearer now. Tonight, when the Wolfpack (21-8, 10-6) faces Wake Forest (12-16, 5-11) at PNC Arena, it'll be the final home game for the two seniors.
Wood is a four-year starter, and the late-blooming Howell has emerged as an ACC Player of the Year candidate. Together, they've helped N.C. State return to relevance within the conference and on a national scale.
Howell is a double-double threat who leads the league in rebounding, and Wood was its most prolific 3-point shooter entering this week. Many of his open shots follow a solid screen from Howell, a bearded, 250-pound roadblock.
"If you kind of have the expression on your face that you're looking to knock somebody on a screen, I feel like the refs are kind of looking for that, so I try to keep the same expression," Howell said. "I do chuckle a little bit when someone just runs straight into me and falls down."
Since coach Mark Gottfried was hired in 2011, Wood has made 177 of his 422 attempts from 3-point range. The most noteworthy one occurred last month at Clemson, where N.C. State pulled out a 58-57 win thanks to his go-ahead 3 in the final second.
Positioned near the right corner following a sideline inbounds pass, with Howell set up at the right block, Wood sprinted past his teammate as muscular guard Rod Hall gave chase. Wood stopped under the basket, pushed away from Hall and headed back toward the right corner.
Hall never made it there.
Howell had a wide base, standing with his right foot nearly touching the baseline, to impede the defender's path. A freed-up Wood caught a pass moments after Hall ran directly into the chest of Howell, whose arms flailed as he tried to maintain his balance. Backpedaling toward the corner, now with just his right arm raised, Howell tracked the shot as it rotated in the air and swished through the net.
"He is as good of a screener as I've ever had as a post player," Gottfried said. "He's unbelievably unselfish. Some guys don't screen very well because they ultimately want to get the ball rather than somebody else get the shot. Richard doesn't care. He just wants to win."
Wood, who has started 130 of 132 career games, arrived in Raleigh with hopes of playing a role in the program's turnaround. The Wolfpack has won a lot more in Howell's two seasons as a full-time starter (45-21) than it did during his first two years, when he primarily came off the bench for teams that went 35-32 under previous coach Sidney Lowe.
With the possibility that juniors Lorenzo Brown, who signed with the current seniors in 2008 before spending a season at Hargrave Military Academy, and C.J. Leslie both turn pro, tonight could be the final PNC Arena appearance for four starters. They've all contributed to making Wood's goal a reality.
"It'll be different knowing it's your last game at home, and there's things I wish I probably could have done more of," Wood said, "but I like where we're at and where this program is going."

LONDON — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new four-strain flu vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline, the drug maker said.
GSK announced the approval of its Fluarix Quadrivalent (influenza virus vaccine) for children and adults against seasonal influenza subtypes A and B. The company said the vaccine was the first for intramuscular injection that protects against four strains of the virus.
"Trivalent influenza vaccines have helped protect millions of people against flu, but in six of the last 11 flu seasons, the predominant circulating influenza B strain was not the strain that public health authorities selected," GSK VP and head of the company's North America vaccines clinical development and medical affairs division Leonard Friedland said. "Fluarix Quadrivalent will help protect individuals against both B strains and from a public health standpoint can help decrease the burden of disease."

Sjogren's syndrome: Can it cause recurrent UTIs?
Since being diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome last year, I've had three urinary tract infections. Is there any evidence that Sjogren's syndrome causes recurrent UTIs?
from April Chang-Miller, M.D.
No, but Sjogren's syndrome can cause symptoms that you might mistake for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the moisture-secreting glands of the eyes and mouth became inflamed, producing fewer tears and less saliva.
For women, Sjogren's syndrome can also cause vaginal dryness — which may result in discomfort during sexual intercourse and an increase in the risk of bacterial and fungal vaginal infections. Painful urination, a common symptom of UTIs, also can occur with vaginal infections.
Some women who have Sjogren's syndrome develop a condition called painful bladder syndrome, also known as interstitial cystitis. This condition causes symptoms similar to those of a urinary tract infection — urinary frequency, urgency and pain — without evidence of infection.

EDMONTON — Not playing has certainly been eating at Edmonton Oilers forward Sam Gagner, but with a busted jaw, it's only the last few days where he's been able to really chew on things.
"I had a steak last night, tasted just fine," said the 24-year-old, who will get his first taste of action Tuesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs after swallowing Zach Kassian's wild high-stick in exhibition season. It required a plate and six screws to repair the break, not to mention looking like a Jack 'o Lantern right now minus those four teeth that were excised.
Gagner, who has missed 13 games, will play in the middle, encased in a visor and a football-type face-guard to protect the jaw.
He'll be playing alongside Jordan Eberle and Nail Yakupov. His replacement, Mark Arcobello (10 assists, plus 3, 53 percent on face-offs) will slide over to right-wing with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and David Perron. It's expected that Boyd Gordon will centre Ales Hemsky, who took the morning skate off (optional) and Ryan Jones on a third line.
"Sam's been gnawing at the bone to get back in and had to wait for the doctor's clearance," said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins, who doesn't believe in players losing their spot in the lineup because of injury, so no matter how well Arcobello has played, he slides over.

Kevin Closson put out a post yesterday called Critical Analysis Meets Exadata, linking to two awesome videos. It's well worth spending the time to watch these, even if (like me) you never get so much as a sniff of Exadata.
I was lucky enough to be one of several people asked to review these videos before they were released. I'm sure some of the performance gurus on the Oak Table had a lot to say, but of the several comments I fed back to Kevin, I would just like to post a couple here:
Now Kevin is an architecture guy and I can see how from his perspective this setup sucks, because it does. He's clearly displayed that. Then again, from a DBA perspective, do I really give a damn about some idle CPUs in the storage layer? For all I know, every other storage system out there could be just as stupid, especially now it's impossible to by chips with small numbers of cores.
Like I said, you should watch the videos because they are great, but don't be afraid to have a different opinion because you may be judging things by different standards.

Are your customers steadfast grab-and-goers at mealtime? If so, consider drinkable meals to suit their busy lifestyles.
Many of your customers are likely to be morning grab-and-goers. This means they may select a bottled beverage for breakfast, rather than eating a meal. You can easily wean them off their morning bottle and offer healthy options for a liquid breakfast.
Breakfast in a mug can be part of a meal, sipped leisurely during an early morning class or meeting. It can be paired with fresh fruit, an omelet or hot or cold cereal. Or it can be a "gulp-able" meal unto itself, taken on the dash to wherever the customer wants.
One way to ease labor requirements in the morning meal period is to build a meal-in-a-cup the night before service: Load a blender or food processor canister with fresh or frozen fruit, tofu or plain or fruited yogurt, applesauce, fruit juice, etc. Leave it in the refrigerator over night, then just blend away in the morning. Your staff doesn't have to measure in the morning and your customers can sip their breakfast.
Smooth out: You can also pre-make and cup up breakfast smoothies or offer a made-to-order smoothie bar at your location. Either way, you can make a nutritious meal in a cup.
Have one of your more vivacious servers serve as a breakfast bartender and make smoothies to order. You can make smoothies or breakfast drinks with a minimum of ingredients and equipment, or you can go all out.
Horchata is a milky-sweet agua fresca made from cooked rice, flavored with cinnamon. Cebeda, a full-flavored agua fresca, is made from barley. These two frescas are a mild counterpoint to spicy foods and make a good brunch beverage. Offer licuados or aguas frescas later in the day as a dessert item, paired with sliced seasonal fruit and cookies.
Licuados and aguas frescas can be frozen and used for meal intermezzos or refreshing desserts. Freeze them in scooped-out lemon, orange or apple shells for a dramatic presentation. Garnish with the same fruit used to make them.
That's hot: Mexican hot chocolate is a meal in itself, made by dissolving disks of Mexican chocolate in hot milk with brown sugar and cinnamon. If Mexican chocolate is not available, use unsweetened cocoa.You can find the few special ingredients you need for these concoctions in local markets, in the "Import" section of many grocery stores, or even on the Web. Mexican chocolate is becoming more available as it gains popularity.
Pink, Blue or Yellow?
According to the USDA, sugar consumption of the average American was 146 pounds in 2004. Many consumers are looking to other "sweeteners" to reduce the amount of sugars consumed.
According to AC Nielsen, the sugar substitute market topped $310 million for the calendar year 2004. According to Landor Mills Commodities, the equivalent amount of sweeteners (food and beverage use) translates into 16.2 lbs per person per year.
As we look down our order sheets, there are sugars and at least four FDA-approved artificial sweeteners from which to choose. It is also important to note that FDA regulations allow the amount of calories to be rounded down to the nearest five-calorie value.
Artificial sweeteners, due to their intensity, contain bulking agents (such as dextrose, sorbitol and maltodextrin) that add on average four calories per teaspoon, although the sweetener itself may not contain any calories, nor will the package list the calories. Your customers probably have a preference when it comes to artificial sweeteners, so be certain to stock a rainbow of packets at the condiments bar.
Here is a rundown of some of the more commonly used sweeteners:
Sugar is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in every fruit and vegetable, but occurs in greatest quantities in sugar cane and sugar beets. The chemical composition of both of these plants is identical, and separating the natural sugar from the plant material produces sugar. There is no whitening or bleaching in the production. Refined white sugar is pure (99.9%) sucrose, and does not contain any additives or preservatives. The term "refined" is defined as "making pure," as the refining removes the yellow or brown pigments. A teaspoonful of sugar contains 16 calories, but due to the FDA regulation may be rounded down to 15 calories.
Saccharin (Sweet N Low) was discovered in 1879 and has been used commercially for about a century (the first artificial sweetener). Saccharin starts with methyl anthranilate, a synthesized organic molecule derived from petroleum. Methyl anthranilate is also found in many fruits, especially grapes. It is 300 times as sweet as sucrose and produces no glycemic response; its sweetness is not reduced by heating. Saccharin dissolves well in hot and cold beverages.
Acesulfame-K (Sunette or Sweet One) was approved by the FDA as table-top sweetener and as an additive in a variety of desserts, confections and alcoholic beverages. It is 200 times sweeter than sucrose, is non-carcinogenic and produces no glycemic response. Its sweetening power is not reduced by heating and can synergize the sweetening power of other nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners. It does not provide any energy, as it is not metabolized in the body and is excreted unchanged. Acesulfame-K has a slightly powdery texture and may need to be well-stirred to dissolve adequately in cold beverages.
Sucralose (Splenda) is 600 times sweeter than sucrose and is not perceived by the body as a carbohydrate. It has no calories and the body does not recognize it as a carbohydrate. It produces no glycemic response. Approximately 15% of sucralose is passively absorbed in the body, and the majority is excreted unchanged. The small amount that is passively absorbed is not metabolized and is eliminated within 24 hours. Heating or baking does not reduce its sweetening power. Sucralose is available in both "white" and "brown" versions and can be used in baking, beverages and dessert preparation.
Aspartame (Nutrasweet and Equal) provides the same energy as any protein (four calories per gram) because it is a combination of phenylalanine and aspartic acid, which are two amino acids, which is then combined with methanol. It is 180 to 200 times sweeter than sucrose, so the small amount needed to sweeten products does not contribute a significant number of calories. The FDA has set acceptable daily intake at 50 mg per kilogram of body weight (equivalent to about 17 cans of aspartame-sweetened soft drinks). Aspartame dissolves well in hot and cold beverages, but may lose its sweetener power if hot beverages are allowed to stand.
Stevia rebaudiana (stevia) is a plant of the daisy family and a South American shrub. The plant material between the veins of the leaf contains the sweet compounds, which is 250-300 times as sweet as sugar; but stevia, or stevioside, has not been approved by the FDA as GRAS (generally regarded as safe). The Dietary Supplement Act of 1994 allows stevia to be sold in the U.S. as a dietary supplement. It has been used in South America for centuries and Japan for over 30 years as a sweetener. The FDA position is that stevia's safety has not been adequately demonstrated.
Neotame is the newest FDA approved artificial sweetener that is the most intense sweetener to date, with a sweetness of between 7,000 and 13,000 times that of sucrose. It is a derivative of dipeptide, and made of amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. It is quickly metabolized and fully eliminated through normal biological processes. There are no products currently on the market that use Neotame.

We should book the whole day in the case of a large turnout. Anyway the hour will be decided later when we know how many are coming.
I am now living in Brachami (sounds pretty exotic to the rest of you europeans) so now the southerners are closer and Alkis, Panayiotis, Ektoras, Filippos etc will start nagging.
Spyros will ride here with his girlie bike so he will have a good excuse for loosing again.
Antonis is even further and i will have to think of something really good to lure him here. Perhaps a battle between van Der Saar vs Ronaldo will do the trick!
You will have to go to Dafni and then take a bus to get here so i wouldn't recommend it. It will be Sunday so it should be pretty easy and fast to take Vouliagmenis turn right at Dafni to get to Ag. Dimitriou. The rest i leave it to your maps. The exact address is Ag. Saranta 9, Ag.Dimitrios (Brachami), 3rd floor, the bell says Ioakeim.
Please contact me whether you are coming or not so that we prepare the time schedule and watch the final without worrying about KO.

In a verdict that highlighted the plight and rights of abused women, a jury today found Lorena L. Bobbitt not guilty of all criminal charges, concluding that she was temporarily insane last June when she cut off her husband's penis with a kitchen knife.
When the jury of seven women and five men announced its decision, acquitting Mrs. Bobbitt of malicious wounding -- an offense for which she could have been imprisoned for 20 years -- a gasp went up among her supporters in the courtroom.
Mrs. Bobbitt, who was born in Ecuador and raised in Venezuela, apparently did not understand what the jury foreman had said. Turning to one of her lawyers, Lisa Kemler of Alexandria, she asked, "Is that good?" Ms. Kemler replied, "You're free." Mrs. Bobbitt smiled briefly, then resumed her customarily serious, slightly sorrowful expression.
She still faces one more hurdle -- a psychiatric examination that could last 45 days. To Undergo Evaluation
Moments after the verdict, Mrs. Bobbitt left through the rear of the courtroom and was taken for psychiatric evaluation, as state law provides for people acquitted for reasons of insanity. She was taken to Central State Hospital in Petersburg, where a psychiatrist and a psychologist will determine whether she poses any danger to herself or the public.

Memoirs of Journeys to Venice and the Low CountriesThose who go about on the Riva always expect four times the value for anything, for they are the falsest knaves that live there. No one expects to get an honest service of them. For that reason some good people warned me to be on my guard against them. They told me that they cheat both man and beast, and that you could buy better things for less money at Frankfort than at Venice. |

Billie "Bill" Owens
Josephine Lorraine Valadez
Billie "Bill" Owens
Susanville, Calif. resident Billie "Bill" Owens peacefully passed from this life with his longtime dear companion, Bonnie Turner, at his side Wednesday evening, Dec. 12, 2012 at Lassen Banner Medical Center located in Susanville at the age of 87.
Born Sept. 26, 1925 in Union City, Tenn. to the late Tennessee natives Ellis and Norma (Hawkins) Owens. He was raised and educated in Tennessee where he graduated from high school. Shortly following graduation he joined the military and served honorably as a member of the U.S. Navy.
Upon his return home he married his late wife, Mae, and to this union four children were born.
Bill moved west where he attended culinary school following a career as an auto salesman. He worked for restaurants in the Long Beach area before moving to the Northeastern California community of Westwood where he owned and operated the Green Hut Café before retiring. He gained quite the following for his excellent chicken pot pies. Bill also found great pleasure in working in the garden as well as a homemade vintner.
Bill is survived by his children, Neil Owens, of Yreka, Calif., Patricia Campbell, of Corona, Calif., Rebecca Owens, of San Juan Capistrano, Calif. and Suzette Owens, of San Francisco, Calif.; his loving companion and dear care giver for the past 20 years, Bonnie Turner, of Susanville, Calif.; along with his three grandchildren.
At Bill's request no services will take place following cremation Fehrman Crematory. An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at fehrmanmortuary.com.
Josephine Lorraine Valadez
With her husband, Albert E. Valadez, Sr., and her children and grandchildren by her side, our beloved mother, Josephine (Josie) Lorraine Valadez, passed away peacefully from this life Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012 at Renown Medical Center in Reno, Nev.
She was born Sept. 16, 1924 in Susanville, Calif. and was preceded in death by her mother, Grace Mike Joaquin Guitierez; father, George Mahi, of Honolulu, Hawaii; stepfather, Felix Guitierez, Sr.; brothers, Clyde Northup, Felix (Budge) Guitierez, Jr. and Robert (Bob) Guitierez.
She is survived by brother, Emilio (Leo) Guitierez, of Litchfield, Calif. and sister, Ramona Evans, of Susanville. She is also survived by her husband of 60 years, Albert E. Valadez, Sr.; children, Nicolas (Patsy) Padilla, of Susanville, Gracie (Gabe) Murillo, of Roseville, Calif., Chris Cobian, of Susanville, Albert Valadez, Jr., of Susanville, and Robert (Tori) Valadez, of Oroville, Calif.; grandchildren, Tiffany Padilla, Benjamin Padilla, Niki Murillo, Dawn Murillo (Jared) Johnson, Chris Cobian, Jr., Tonya (Steven) Costello, Shense Cobian, Lorraine Valadez, Jamie (Frank) Edeyaoch, Kristin Valadez, Steven (Talaya) Valadez and Lukas Valadez; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Josie was raised on the Susanville Indian Rancheria, attended local schools and later attended high school at Sherman Indian School in Riverside, Calif. After high school she served her country working for the Solar Aircraft Company in San Diego, Calif. She was a welder who worked on small parts for airplanes that flew in WWII.
She came home before the war ended and went to work at Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, Calif. The Depot was one of the largest ammunition depots in the U.S. and her job was dipping wooden boxes in oil that they used to pack bombs in to be used in WWII. She worked there for two years until the war ended, then she started working at Lassen Box Factory in Susanville. Her children always came first, so for several years she was a stay-at-home mom. When her youngest child started school she began working again at the Pioneer Elementary School Cafeteria in Quincy, Calif. After moving back to Susanville, she went to work at The Susanville Convalescent taking care of the elderly. She was a member of The Susanville Indian Rancheria, worked for the Tribe and was elected to the position of Tribal Secretary to serve on the Tribal Council numerous times.
Josie and her husband, Albert, enjoyed bowling at Sierra Lanes and on league tournaments. They had many friends and were a lot of fun to be around, and enjoyed the good times.
The family has honored Josephine's wishes for no service or funeral. Josephine was cremated at Simple Cremations in Reno. She will be deeply missed by all her family and friends.

Bates Technical College is planning to expand its offerings in Central Tacoma, thanks to a infusion of state money for a new $23 million building at its Central Campus.
Bates hopes to break ground on the new Advanced Technology Center in March and open the doors in winter 2015. It will be the first time the college has added to the campus at 19th Street and Trafton Street since the property's purchase in 2001.
"We are really excited about the opportunity to bring online a new facility for the college," said Marty Mattes, Bates' director of facilities and operations. "With the new high-tech facility and state-of-the-art equipment, we will be able to provide training for students that meets and hopefully exceeds industry expectations for new hires."
The 53,000-square-foot facility will include multiple labs for computers, electronics, robotics and video production. There also will be multiple large meeting spaces designed to attract trade shows and industry professionals for conferences and larger events.
The two-story building will house the student services office and library, along with the digital media, advanced technology, engineering and shared-learning programs.
The idea for the building was conceived in 2003, but didn't receive state funding until this year because of competition from other career and technical colleges for capital money as well as the state's budget troubles.
Originally proposed as a $27 million project, the building is now being redesigned to reflect the $23 million appropriation provided by the legislature. The redesign could delay construction.
Mattes said the construction of the building is the foundation for the school's facilities master plan, a 10-15-year plan to improve facilities across all three of Bates' campuses. To upgrade the college's existing buildings, the school needs room to relocate classes and move students. That kind of space isn't available because of class sizes and restricted spaces in the current buildings, Mattes said. The new building will relieve some of that pressure.
"It's the catalyst for the growth of the college," Mattes said.
Bates officials also expect the project to give the 19th Street location, which has only one building, more of a campus feel.
The existing building, which Bates shares with KBTC Public Television, houses the audio/visual technology and communication programs. Many of these programs will shift to the new building once constructed, but students will still have the opportunity to use both facilities.
"Now, we'll actually have a campus operation that will more prominently promote educational activities," Mattes said. "It's going to change the face of who we are to the community."
As the student government president during part of the planning, Jason Latimer met with the architects to provide a student perspective on features such as the common areas, including the "projection cube." The unique design features large walls in the common area that will have student work videos and images projected onto them.
"When students know that our input was taken into consideration, they know the building was made for them," Latimer said.
The building's design also incorporates environmentally conscious features such as extra windows to allow sunlight in and decrease the amount of necessary light fixtures. It will have solar panels to generate enough energy to power a classroom, with the option to add more panels in the future.
Mattes said the building, designed by McGranahan Architects, is designed to fit the silver certification standard from the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.

As an Alabamian, I have to second the motion. Fast, tough, elusive, and doesn´t know "quit".
My wife´s an Alabama grad, and all of my in-laws live in Tuscaloosa, and I can tell you they´d vote for him in a heartbeat.
GIG ´EM!Girl´s Hubby (and former A&M grad student)
He´s a thriller, that Johnny, and the spirited Aggies are always worthy of a cheer. A&M and Baylor were both giant killers this season.
please send this article to the Philly Eagles.
´As a Tide fan, this guy caused me GREAT pain a couple weeks ago. I don´t ever want to see him again...He is something special. Too special to be sent off in exile to Philly... especially Philly...If he goes to NY for the Heisman award, I would suggest hewear a hazmat suit when he gets off the plane.
BTW, I´m betting "Aggie´57" is looking down with a big Texas smile on his face
Why not i have been attending a & m games since 1946 that is 66 years ago and this the first year that I have been exited in going to the games, what a jock actually he is not a freshman he was red shirted so that means this is his second year so he is a sophmore. his in the class of 2015. There is one rule at a & m whatever year you start you add 4 years and that is your class in other words start in 1946 even if you graduated in 1956 you are still in the class of 1950. Anyway heisman here we come.
He is amazing!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG7VMdvNPLA
He gets my vote.
These are the new Aggies, he is great but not alone. And don´t forget the 12th man. I hope he wins, and it doesn´t ruin him.I think the A&M v Alabama game was one of the best college football games I have ever seen.That is until the following week when my Baylor Bears beat the leading Heisman contender @ Kansas St.Sic ´em Bears, Gig ´em Aggies. Love Texas college football!
Manti Te´o from ND ...
Second that, #12.
He deserves it. The bad game he had against LSU will kill him. The sport writers will give it to Braxton Miller at Ohio State. Even though the Big Ten stunk this year, he led the team to an undefeated season.
Right #14...Many teams have had bad games against LSU. ohio st is undefeated, and did beat, I think, Father Bakers School for the blind this year - ´Think they were ranked 120th this year. I have no appetite for anything/anyone jesuit/BO this year.

I purchased two of these rugs, the chocolate brown and the slate - the rugs are good quality and quite plush but the inaccuracy of the color means they do not match my decor! The "chocolate" rug is more of an eggplant color, and the "slate" rug is more of a light green. Note, GREEN, not BLUE undertones, unlike in the picture, stand out in the main color of the slate rug. This may look nice in another home, but won't work well in mine.
When I received the rug and we put it on the floor, we were SO pleased. It became a focal point of the room and brought the room together. Everyone that comes to our house comments on the rug and how much they love it. Shipping was a little more than expected, but it was a large rug. Overall, very happy with purchase.
After searching and debating for some time, I decided to purchase this rug for my newly remodeled bedroom. I am very happy I did!! This rug is very plush and even prettier in person. It does shed a bit at first, but that is to be expected. The only thing I would caution someone about is the fact that the blue is in fact more of a teal (which I didn't mind at all). All in all a great buy!!!!!
This rug looks gorgeous online! While it is pretty in person, it really is a yellow (not ivory) tone. Almost looks like an animal urinated all over a white rug.
We purchased this rug for our family room. The room is painted a chocolate brown and has light blue accents. The rug looked so beautiful we purchased a smaller one for the sitting area in our kitchen!
The quality of this rug is great, it is thick and feels good under your feet. The big problem is that the colors on the website are way off! We ordered the grey color and the only part of the rug that truly looks grey is the dark grey flowers. The background color that looks grey in the picture is more of a medium tan color in most light (we've seen it now with the sun shining on it, in natural indirect light and under compact florescent lighting) and the lighter flowers that seem to be more white-ish in the picture have a distinct light tan tint to them. We are going to keep the rug since it is good quality and still looks OK in the room but definitely disappointed that the colors are so far off from the pictures on the website.
I spent a lot of time searching for a rug for my family room. When I saw this rug, I really liked it and felt it would match my decor. I read all customer reviews which helped me make the decision to buy this rug. I've had it down now for around 4 weeks...and I love, love, love it. My room has brown walls (light brown and a darker brown) and the rug looks perfect. I like the blue..which is lighter. Matched my blue accents in my room. Very soft...nice thickness as well. Did I say, I really love, love this rug. I'm keeping my eye out for same rug but in smaller size for my kitchen....
The color was just as described! Came well packaged. It ended up being WAYYY bigger than I anticipated, but that's my fault because I didn't measure the room it was going in, but still overall- Very pleased!
This is a beautiful rug. I chose the charcoal color. It added so much color to my dining room.
This rug is absolutely stunning! First purchase for a new home and cant wait to move in the furniture. Only disappointed that I couldn't get the 6X9 matching rug because it is out of stock for the dining room. I hope it returns because I would purchase it in a heartbeat!!! Bought the brown rug and it truely exceeded my expectations.

Hank to Beetle "who wrote the Gettysburg address"
Beetle "I don't wear dresses"
ya you know Beth shoehorned her way into the flight from MX to CA with Jimmie and Molly. I can't imagine them being trapped in a tin can with her for hours. Her inane banter would be enough to make me blow my brains out. I can't imagine what it does to the two of them and their lightening quick wit. Beth most likely just sits there and nods her head in agreement smiling that, "I'm clueless" smile while they make fun of her.
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
Sounds like Jimmy is a stoner if his Rolling Stone interview is accurate. I bet he gets baked and trips out on Horseys odd features and child like demeanor.
Best friend Howard Stern only talked about Kimmel's show during a live read while taking only negative "Kimmel" calls.
Jon Hein is God used to be Lord over the Saloon.
Howard accidentally took 14 calls from people bashing Jimmy.
What did Howard invent that Jimmy took.....walking...breathing??
Didn't they all go on vacation together?
The above is strictly my exaulted opinion. Allegedly.
All material is used without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.
Based on the Aniston appearance on Kimmel, Howie and Beff had very little interaction with Aniston & company.
It seems like the 3 couples stayed in the same house and spent a lot of time together. I don't think Howie wants to cut ties with Kimmel but I bet he's pissed that Beth didn't get the A-list face time she so craves.
Yeah they didn't say anything or show any picts of Howard with them.
That's a pretty good bit...for a wide variety of reasons.
...BUT...the *really* good l bit...if they had the balls to do it..and could somehow pull it off..would be to show the actual raw footage from those shoots
with the celebrities.
*That* would probably be the really good stuff...and it probably ends up being cut for someone's reel to be shown at a party etc
..and I could think of a few quick ways up upping the amp on that sort of a bit that would help to make it more amusing and more interesting.
Whatever......and when do Jimmy's primetime specials start airing?..February 2013?...will HS be involved???

Alpenföhn is aiming at the performance crown under the CPU coolers with the K2. For this, Alpenföhn is employing two cooling towers and ships the unit with two, potent Wing Boost fans. The middle fan with 140 mm is intended to keep the air flow at a maximum, while the smaller 120 mm unit in front is meant to offer maximal compatibility to modern mainboards, while still providing impressive air flow. Those wanting to go even further may install a third fan in the rear of the cooler. The Alpenföhn K2 CPU cooler is available immediately at Caseking. The cooler utilizes an incredible amount of materials with a massive weight of 1050 grams. Using more mass does not simply equate to greater performance, as only an intelligent use of such will make for a great cooler and this is something the Alpenföhn engineers are certainly experts in. Eight heatpipes are embedded in a Copper, with both aspects featuring a high-quality Nickel plating. On top of that, all contact points between cooling fins, heatpipes and ground plate feature high-quality solder points to maximize the potential of the K2. To dissipate the heat from the CPU, the fine and numerous Aluminum fins offer an incredibly large surface area and the ability to install up to three fans. Alpenföhn ships the K2 with a 120 and larger 140 mm of the award winning Wing Boost cooling fans, which offer maximal air pressure in combination with an incredibly quiet operating noise. These fans feature a unique blade design and rubberized surface, virtually eliminating vibration at the source. While the Wing Boost series is available in black/blue and black/orange variants, Alpenföhn is currently only shipping the black/white version with exclusively with the K2 cooler. Both fans utilize PWM functionality, allowing for flexible adjustment of the rotation speed. As most mainboards only offer a single PWM connector for the CPU cooler, the included splitter enables to proper monitoring of both fans with a single such plug. At the slowest setting the 120 mm fan produces inaudible 8 dB(A) noise levels, while the 140 mm variant is just as quiet with 10 dB(A). But even at full throttle both manage to impress with an extremely quiet 25 dB(A) rating, while pushing 104m³/h and 108m³/h of air respectively. On top of that, the Alpenföhn K2 implements a modern fin design, which is not only great to look at. but also results in a clean air flow, further reducing the overall noise level. Besides the pair of fans, mounting systems for all modern sockets from AMD (AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1) and Intel (775, 1155, 1156, 1366) along with a backplate for a proper and worry-free installation, ship with the massive cooler. The Alpenföhn K2 CPU Cooler - 120/140mm is available immediately for a price of 74.90 Euro at www.caseking.de.
yeah but only the 4 middle heat pipes will actually do something they should have stacked the heatpipes on top of each other in the middle like Scythes new cooler design they announced
whats wrong with noctuas nh-d14? this looks very similar to me... what does that say about these 'engineers'? even the price is close... i just don't get it! start inventing boys!
If I were a heatsink designer, I would use an expansion chamber to increase the effective area for heatpipes, and then pack in 10 or 12 pipes on top of that. Also, the fins would be electrostatic fans. There's probably a reason I'm not employed as an HSF designer.
This looks like it could be a great cooler, also with the large base it looks like it could be great for sandy bridge E, although the lack of any mention of LGA2011 support worry's me as to weather another mounting kit would be needed. Going by the results of previous products from scythe with stacked heat pipes that sounds like a pretty bad idea, plus having the copper base plate should mean the heat spreads well enough to the outer heat pipes that it would not matter much if heat pipes are not directly above CPU heat spreader, it's not like it's a heat pipe direct touch base.
Frack WTF if you need something this big to cool your uber CPU then you need to start thinking about water cooling
Huh? Noctua D14 is one of the quietest coolers out there, and it shares the same form factor as this one.
you also get a reliability factor on fans aswell believe me I've had two on two different HIS HD5770's go poo 1st one 9 months 2nd one 6 months cheap n nasty Chinese made fans the both of them
After seeing this? I want to become a Heatsink Designer... A Block of pure copper would perform better than this...
problem there is (though I do agree with you) cost it's usually around $20~30 more for the same tech remember the HD5770's that all came out with the stupid egg shaped cooler and just about every manufacturer had one in it's range well they all used the same fan (unless there were different versions of the fan that look the same but were better)

Accidents With Uninsured Motorists
Video Transcription
States require motor vehicle drivers to have car insurance - however, a surprising percentage of drivers do not comply with that law and choose to drive without motor vehicle insurance. If you are seriously hurt in an accident with an uninsured motorist it can be difficult to recover damages from that person. Typically uninsured motorists do not have insurance because they do not have the money to buy it - that means they also don't have the money to pay for your damages.
Your own insurance company may be able to help you, however. Most insurance companies offer uninsured motorist coverage to people who buy motor vehicle insurance from them - some states even require you to have uninsured motorist coverage as part of your motor vehicle insurance policy. If your insurance company does not honor its contractual responsibility to pay your damages pursuant to your uninsured motorist coverage then you may have the right to sue the insurance company and recover damages in court. You should review your motor vehicle insurance policy annually to make sure that you have this important uninsured motorist coverage.

Right now the FBI is searching for suspected terrorists with.
Apparent links to al-Qaeda Hochman -- -- -- -- a US citizen and according to the FBI he's made several trips overseas to train with terrorists.
He most recently lived in Mansfield Massachusetts and the FBI is now offering a 50000 dollar reward for information leading to his capture.
They posted a video on YouTube with more information includes a recording of his voice.
I was -- 511 with a thin build and yet higher pitched voice listen now to a recording -- this place.
If they'll have a -- and -- -- -- right to -- that -- it's only a mother that next time.
-- they might -- you know.
Peter -- is a former CIA operative a senior fellow for national security affairs at The Heritage Foundation so.
-- this guy has dual citizenship with the United States and Syria he apparently left the United States in 2006.
Why are we hearing from the FBI now about the -- Well yes the FBI they say there's no specific event that is triggered this bounty that's been put out on him.
But I -- and that could be true and or -- they could be you know holding sensitive details to themselves and not wanting to say anything much more than that.
He has been gone for six years but.
His co conspirator.
Was sentenced earlier this year to seventeen plus years in jail and perhaps they're finding out some new things about it so I mean it's not quite clear why.
He's in Syria which certainly isn't a safe place for anybody these days the good news if there is any is that he's out of the united state.
So how effective are these had the bounties that are put on.
You know whenever or whoever is winds that are on the wanted posters it's an effective way actually -- to get suspected terrorists.
Well it's one tool.
-- of course there are drone strikes.
There are other ways of you know getting at them as well through special operations.
You know arrest by local host countries I don't suspect we're gonna get much support.
Out of Syria these days for getting this -- individual -- may have moved on from Syria that's where they thought he was but I think it's a unique and innovative way of using social media.
To get the world out there I -- we're getting a lot of reports in from Syria about what's going on there in fact it's one of the only really good ways we're having a sense the terrible troubles that are going on -- that civil war so the Internet is getting into serious somebody out there may see it.
May -- 50000 dollars is a good way to to get ahead.
And give us a tip that could lead to his arrest obviously the FBI even six years after -- left the country is still very interested in him and they obviously think.
He is still a threat I -- value.
You know -- they say this -- -- 50000 dollars.
Yeah I really don't know that'd be honest about it here I don't -- what other you know get more money.
Right well it's it's hard to say I guess it's not a million so maybe not and that sort of category.
But be an intelligence type as opposed to a law enforcement type I think -- probably have to ask the I have to ask this guy but they must think.
In that part of the world that it's enough money to get somebody to turn him -- give us a tip about his his location but -- worried that.
He could try to get back in the United States in some way.
And the fact is is that they're still after him so he obviously still threaten somebody to worry about.
This -- from what -- read what you seen as far as the actions of the FBI how how big of a threat do you think this guy is to our national security.
Well they're obviously very concerned about him.
Like I said you know there's a possibility that he's involved -- not telling us everything and I support that I don't wanna know everything that's gonna perhaps tip him off.
But they he knows now that they're that they're watching him he's had contacts in Yemen remember al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Pakistan that's still you know -- -- and epicenter of Islamist extremism and terrorism.
And he wanted to go to Iraq to kill American soldiers so he's obviously some sort of threat you know course -- bureaucratic wheels can turn rather slowly.
They may be just getting around to this but I think it has something to do with the sentencing of his co conspirator perhaps he's telling us some things about some plots that has renewed or reinvigorated.
Interest in getting their hands on him.
Wasilla -- -- -- at least have a conversation where we'll see if this works out inaction he gets in custody Peter thank you very much.
Santa -- sounded in that.

Koch's postulates
Koch's postulates ([ˈkɔx]) are four criteria designed to establish a causal relationship between a causative microbe and a disease. The postulates were formulated by Robert Koch and Friedrich Loeffler in 1884 and refined and published by Koch in 1890. Koch applied the postulates to establish the etiology of cholera and tuberculosis, but they have been generalized to other diseases.
The postulates[edit]
Koch's postulates are the following:
- The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.
- The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.
- The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
- The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.
However, Koch abandoned the universalist requirement of the first postulate altogether when he discovered asymptomatic carriers of cholera[2] and, later, of typhoid fever. Asymptomatic or subclinical infection carriers are now known to be a common feature of many infectious diseases, especially viruses such as polio, herpes simplex, HIV, and hepatitis C. As a specific example, all doctors and virologists agree that poliovirus causes paralysis in just a few infected subjects, and the success of the polio vaccine in preventing disease supports the conviction that the poliovirus is the causative agent.
The second postulate may also be suspended for certain microorganisms or entities that cannot (at the present time) be grown in pure culture, such as prions responsible for Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.[3]
The third postulate specifies "should", not "must", because as Koch himself proved in regard to both tuberculosis and cholera,[4] not all organisms exposed to an infectious agent will acquire the infection. Noninfection may be due to such factors as general health and proper immune functioning; acquired immunity from previous exposure or vaccination; or genetic immunity, as with the resistance to malaria conferred by possessing at least one sickle cell allele.
In summary, a body of evidence that satisfies Koch's postulates is sufficient but not necessary to establish causation.
Koch's postulates were developed in the 19th century as general guidelines to identify pathogens that could be isolated with the techniques of the day.[5] Even in Koch's time, it was recognized that some infectious agents were clearly responsible for disease even though they did not fulfill all of the postulates.[4][6] Attempts to rigidly apply Koch's postulates to the diagnosis of viral diseases in the late 19th century, at a time when viruses could not be seen or isolated in culture, may have impeded the early development of the field of virology.[7][8] Currently, a number of infectious agents are accepted as the cause of disease despite their not fulfilling all of Koch's postulates.[9] Therefore, while Koch's postulates retain historical importance and continue to inform the approach to microbiologic diagnosis, fulfillment of all four postulates is not required to demonstrate causality.
Koch's postulates have also influenced scientists who examine microbial pathogenesis from a molecular point of view. In the 1980s, a molecular version of Koch's postulates was developed to guide the identification of microbial genes encoding virulence factors.[10]
Koch's postulates for the 21st century[edit]
Koch's postulates have played an important role in microbiology, yet they have major limitations. For example, Koch was well aware that in the case of cholera, the causal agent, Vibrio cholerae, could be found in both sick and healthy people, invalidating his first postulate. Furthermore, viral diseases were not yet discovered when Koch formulated his postulates, and there are many viruses that do not cause illness in all infected individuals, a requirement of the first postulate. Additionally, it was known through experimentation that H. pylori caused mild inflammation of the gastric lining when ingested. As evident as the inflammation was, it still did not immediately convince skeptics that H. pylori was associated with ulcers. Eventually, skeptics were silenced when a newly developed antibiotic treatment eliminated the bacteria and ultimately cured the disease. Contradictions and occurrences such as these have led many to believe that a fifth postulate may be required. If enacted, this postulate would state that sufficient microbial data should allow scientists to treat, cure, or prevent the particular disease.
More recently, modern nucleic acid-based microbial detection methods have made Koch's original postulates even less relevant. These nucleic acid-based methods make it possible to identify microbes that are associated with a disease, but in many cases the microbes are uncultivable. Also, nucleic acid-based detection methods are very sensitive, and they can often detect the very low levels of viruses that are found in healthy people without disease.
The use of these new methods has led to revised versions of Koch's postulates: Fredricks and Relman[11] have suggested the following set of Koch's postulates for the 21st century:
- A nucleic acid sequence belonging to a putative pathogen should be present in most cases of an infectious disease. Microbial nucleic acids should be found preferentially in those organs or gross anatomic sites known to be diseased, and not in those organs that lack pathology.
- Fewer, or no, copies of pathogen-associated nucleic acid sequences should occur in hosts or tissues without disease.
- With resolution of disease, the copy number of pathogen-associated nucleic acid sequences should decrease or become undetectable. With clinical relapse, the opposite should occur.
- When sequence detection predates disease, or sequence copy number correlates with severity of disease or pathology, the sequence-disease association is more likely to be a causal relationship.
- The nature of the microorganism inferred from the available sequence should be consistent with the known biological characteristics of that group of organisms.
- Tissue-sequence correlates should be sought at the cellular level: efforts should be made to demonstrate specific in situ hybridization of microbial sequence to areas of tissue pathology and to visible microorganisms or to areas where microorganisms are presumed to be located.
- These sequence-based forms of evidence for microbial causation should be reproducible.
