From Manhattan's trendy buzz, bright lights and skyscrapers to the provincial charms of New England, with its white-steepled churches and village greens, this route offers it all. For me, a stimulating dose of the Big Apple - think world-class dining, shopping and culture - can be delightfully tempered with a trip out to the countryside and the cozy ambiance of an old inn. The itinerary I am inviting you to discover ranges from New York to Blantyre, a baronial mansion in Massachusetts, to homey Windham Hill in Vermont, and on to the White Barn Inn & Spa in coastal Maine. But these retreats are far from roughing it! At each inn you'll enjoy pampering and exceptional dining. In the winter New England means crackling fires, downy comforters and birch woods blanketed with snow. In warmer weather, I love to hit the cycling and hiking trails and check out the first-rate live music and dance events.

HUNTERTOWN — Twenty Whitley County wrestlers embarked on the second leg of the IHSAA State Individual Wrestling Tournament at Saturday's Carrroll Regional tournament.
Eleven of those, including two weight-class champions, will advance to next Saturday's Fort Wayne Semi-State at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
Although wrestlers advance on an individual basis, a team score was also kept, with Churubusco taking second with 92.5 points behind Carroll's 180.
Churubusco was followed by New Haven, Leo and Huntington North, with Columbia City placing sixth and Whitko seventh out of the 20 teams represented.
'Busco and Whitko both advanced four wrestlers and Columbia City had three. Both Columbia City and Churubusco boasted weight-class winners among their advancers.
Columbia City picked up its win at 182 pounds in a rematch of last week's sectional final, when senior Russell Hazelet squared off against Bishop Dwenger senior Ben Evans.
Last week, Evans won by a 7-1 decision. This week, Hazelet came out more aggressive against Evans and took a 5-1 lead before Evans came back to knot the score at 5 in the third period. Hazelet scored a reversal to take a 7-5 lead late in the period and held on for the 7-6 win.
Churubusco got a repeat winner from last week in Jason Nicodemus, who took the title at 220 pounds. Nicodemus scored a hard-fought 8-3 decision over state-ranked and only once-beaten Nolan Wilson of Leo. Nicodemus maintained his unbeaten status, finishing the day at 28-0.
"That was a really exciting match with two top kids going at each other. At this point that could make the difference between being a state qualifier or not," said Churubusco Head Coach Sam Reisen. "Winning the regional is a big step. Jason has made it to the regionals every year but this is his first year to make it out."
In the finals at 113 pounds, Whitko's Greg Newman took second to Northrop's Logan Aldrich in a rematch of the Sectional finals. Newman fell 5-2 in the finals, after advancing with a 16-5 major decision over Homestead's Drake Rhodes and a 6-3 decision over New Haven's Owen Doster.

So I am officially 34 weeks today! Hooray!
I had an appt yesterday with an ultrasound to check his position and growth. Unlike my last pregnancy (where my LO measured 14 days behind upon delivery), this baby is measuring 11 days ahead! I'm glad he's growing and can't believe he is already bigger than my last baby was at birth.
At my initial appt at 6 weeks, my BP was 100/60 and yesterday it was 136/92. They had me lay down and retook my BP while laying down.... yeah, I know, it's not accurate! Of course it was lower at 122/76. They said "oh much better!" and was going to send me on my way without a 24 hour urine! My in office dipstick was negative, but in my last pregnancy, I ended up with polyuria and actually produced over 6 liters so my samples were always too dilute for a dip to pick up protein. I requested a 24 hour urine anyway especially since I delivered at 35 weeks last pregnancy. I think they are annoyed with my persistence but I'm over caring what they think. The nurse even asked me if I was trying to have a repeat preterm delivery! Hmmmmm, of course not lady. Not on purpose!
So now that I am sitting here doing a 24 hour urine. It has me wondering what outcomes I can expect with abnormal results. I almost feel like a 24 hour urine is pointless, other than to recognize that there IS/ISN'T protein. I don't believe it is high enough for delivery, but I DO think there is SOME protein, maybe even over the diagnostic 300mg. So if it DOES come back with protein over the diagnostic criteria, what can I expect from my doctor? How far along in my pregnancy would they let me go? Do Drs give steroid shots for all preeclamptics before 35 weeks (I had steroid shots last time at 31 weeks)? My BP isn't incredibly high consistently, and baby is obviously doing fairly well with growth. I'm usually hyper vigilant with my care and always want to know what the labs say (other than go by symptoms) yet right now I feel like it doesn't matter because if I was sick or it was bad, I would have more symptoms. Does that make sense? The only thing about my last pregnancy is that I was spilling protein before my BP got really high. In fact, I think the highest BP reading I had then was 135/85 and that was only on a couple of occasions. Even when I spilled over 650mgs, my BP was 115/75. I feel educated about preeclampsia, but not on how to deal with it and the drs!
So, I guess I am wondering what to expect if my protein DOES come back elevated, even if only slightly. I turn my 24 hour urine in on Friday morning and I believe they are going to take blood also. My next appt is Wednesday and I think they'll discuss my results then. I'd like to be prepared for that appt on how to discuss the results and what to do if they are in fact abnormal. THANKS!

Bella Healthcare India
Dorothy Leonard; Sunru Yong
Price: $6.93
Bella Healthcare India was originally established in Bangalore as a low-cost manufacturing facility for a U.S.-based cardiology equipment developer. Under country manager Joseph Cherian it evolved considerably, developing its own research and development capabilities. Strengthened by investment in technical training and a shift in culture and mindset, the India team developed and launched its first successful product in 2005 under the guidance of Cherian and American Jeremy Manning, the Bella India director of R&D. Their success led them to a joint product development venture with the parent company, but organizational, technical, and cultural issues resulted in its cancellation. After this disappointing failure, is Bella India ready to lead a new product development project? If so, is the new project proposed by Cherian the right one to recover with?

No, this isn't about Homer, but it's interesting anyway. Suppose you're trying to decide which university to go to. You find out that last year the university you're interested in admitted 30% of male applicants but only 21.3% of female applicants. Looks like a clear case of gender bias, so you're tempted to go somewhere else. But then you look at the figures again, this time broken up by department. The university only has two departments, maths and English. The English department admitted 40% of male applicants and 42% of female applicants. The maths department admitted 10% of male applicants and 11% of female applicants. So if you look at the figures by department, if anything there's bias in favour of women. What's going on?
This is an example of Simpson's paradox, which arises when you look at percentages without giving the actual numbers involved. Suppose the English department admits quite a high proportion of applicants, while the maths department is more choosy and admits only a small proportion. Now suppose that most of the male applicants apply to the English department. Then this drives up the overall percentage of successful male applicants, as English is easier to get into. Similarly, if most women apply to the maths department, then this lowers the overall percentage of successful women applicants, because maths is harder to get into. So it can happen that, although both departments favour women, the overall percentage of successful female applicants is lower than that for males.
Let's go back to the example: suppose that 100 men apply to the English department, so that means that 40 of them got in (40%). Suppose that only 50 women applied to the English department, so 21 of them got in (42%). Suppose the maths department had only 50 male applicants, so 5 got in (10%), and 100 female applicants, of which 11 got in (11%). Then the overall proportion of male applicants who were successful is 45/150 corresponding to 30%. For the women the overall proportion is 32/150 corresponding to 21.3%. Mystery solved.
This paradox isn't just a theoretical curiosity. In 1973 The University of California at Berkeley was sued for sex bias on the basis of figures that were an illustration of Simpson's paradox. It turned out that on the whole women had applied to more competitive departments and that's how the seemingly biased figures arose.
You can find out more about Simpson's paradox on Plus.

There's nothing simpler than 1,2,3, ... we understand these numbers instinctively and that's why they're called the natural numbers. But if you really think about it, what are these numbers? How would you describe them to an alien devoid of a number instinct? Here's one way of defining them, developed by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano:
Explaining numbers to aliens.
These four rules give you all the natural numbers, neatly ordered in a line, starting from 1 (you could also have started from 0). They also give you arithmetic, since addition and multiplication are about repeatedly adding 1s and you know how to do this: you simply move up to the successor of the number you're looking at. Subtraction and division are just the reverse of addition and multiplication. So equipped with these rules your innumerate alien could actually do some pretty decent number theory.
The four rules form the basis of what's called Peano arithmetic. It's a formal mathematical system based on a set of axioms (which includes these four rules) together with a language in which to speak about numbers and rules for logical inference. In the beginning of the 20th century mathematicians hoped they could turn all of maths into one giant formal system similar to Peano's arithmetic. That way they could prove everything directly from the axioms, without any hidden assumptions, and make sure that maths contains no contradictions. But their dream was shattered in the 1930s by the logician Kurt Gödel, who showed that there are logical limits to what you can do using formal systems. Find out more in

If it wasn't for the Babylonians who lived millennia ago, paying your bill at a restaurant or checking your credit card bill would be much more painful than it already is. And so would anything else involving numbers. It was these Babylonian scholars who had the brilliant idea of making the value of a numeral dependent on its position in a string of numerals: if you see a 1 at the end of a string, you know it means 1, if it's shifted one to the left, you know it means 10, if it's shifted two to the left, it means 100 and so on. This means that using only the symbols 0 to 9 you can write down every single whole number, no matter how large, rather than having to invent a new symbol every time you go up a order of magnitude.
The Babylonian number system actually had 60 as its base, rather than base ten as we do. The numerals we use today, including the use of a symbol (zero) for nothing instead of a gap, stems from India.

I went Christmas shopping yesterday, to buy a book from the local bookshop that costs £7. I didn't have any money, so I borrowed £5 from Marianne and £5 from Owen. I bought the book and got £3 change. I gave £1 back to each of my kind colleagues and I keep the remaining £1. I now owe each of them £4 and I have £1, giving £9 in total. But I borrowed £10. Where's the missing pound?
There it is!
The answer is that the £10 are a red herring. There's no reason why the money I owe after the whole transaction and the money I still have should add up to £10. Rather, the money I owe minus the change I got should come to the price of the book, that is £7. Giving a pound back to each of Marianne and Owen just re-distributes the amounts. The money I still owe is reduced to £8 and the money I still have to £1. Rather than having £10-£3=£7, we now have £8-£1=£7. Mystery solved!

An infinite set is called countable if you can count it. In other words, it's called countable if you can put its members into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . For example, a bag with infinitely many apples would be a countable infinity because (given an infinite amount of time) you can label the apples 1, 2, 3, ... and so on.
Two countably infinite sets A and B are considered to have the same "size" (or cardinality) because you can pair each element in A with one and only one element in B so that no elements in either set are left over. This idea seems to make sense, but it has some funny consequences. For example, the even numbers are a countable infinity because you can link the number 2 to the number 1, the number 4 to 2, the number 6 to 3 and so on. So if you consider the totality of even numbers (not just a finite collection) then there are just as many of them as natural numbers, even though intuitively you'd think there should only be half as many.
Something similar goes for the rational numbers (all the numbers you can write as fractions). You can list them as follows: first write down all the fractions whose denominator and numerator add up to 2, then list all the ones where the sum comes to 3, then 4, etc. This is an unfailing recipe to list all the rationals, and once they are listed you can label them by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . So there are just as many rationals as natural numbers, which again seems a bit odd because you'd think that there should be a lot more of them.
It was Galileo who first noticed these funny results and they put him off thinking about infinity. Later on the mathematician Georg Cantor revisited the idea. In fact, Cantor came up with a whole hierarchy of infinities, one "bigger" than the other, of which the countable infinity is the smallest. His ideas were controversial at first, but have now become an accepted part of pure mathematics.
You can find out more about all this in our collection of articles on infinity.

Midland Valley Preps decision to purchase the property where Compass Academy was being constructed thankfully makes a rotten situation into a relatively less rotten situation.
The community shouldnt lose sight of the fact that its still a crummy ordeal for those who invested in the original idea. However, Midland Valley Preps decision helps to ensure that a property intended to be a community resource is going to be used in the manner it was originally intended.
The original investors in the property had a vision, but unfortunately, that vision came tumbling down because of the alleged disreputable dealings of Jay Brooks. The property has been the center of controversy for the past year after Brooks and his companies, J. Brooks Financial and Brooks Real Estate Holdings, were accused by the state attorney generals office of illegally selling unregistered securities to fund the establishment of the school.
While the purchase of the property should be seen as a blessing for Midland Valley Prep, people still lost money in the process.
There are resources in place that not everyone may know about to ensure investors are dealing with reputable people and businesses, according to County Councilman Scott Singer.
One website in particular www.finra.com allows users to see if there are any complaints against an individual or organization. Its a resource that should be seen as a public service.
If theres a silver lining in the situation, its that Midland Valley Prep has been presented with an excellent opportunity to improve the educational experience for its students.
A Denver company, which works with charter schools throughout the nation, has purchased the incomplete Compass Academy from a receiver and is holding the property until the school can obtain financing to make the transition.
According to school officials such as Principal Patti Strom, the relocation plans represent a huge step forward.
Were going to have a facility thats going to meet our needs, Strom said. Im very, very excited, but also Im very excited because Im taking the one thing that truly matters good teachers.
Charles Lowe, Midland Valley board chairman, described the move as a significant change, particularly because of increased space as well as alleviating traffic concerns compared to the schools current location on U.S. 1 near Aiken Technical College.
It should be a much better situation for the teachers and students. The physical facilities that were in were not the best, so Im looking forward to what they can do when they have a place thats more suitable.
As the school looks to transition into its new location, it should be viewed as another resource for education. While damage was done to the community, its still significant to note that some good has come of it.

Viola Seeds
Easy, brilliant, early-season color
Hardy and long-lived, Violas (not to be confused with their cousin, the annual Pansy) are early bloomers, sending up clouds of dainty, fragrant blooms in shades of yellow, apricot, blue, scarlet, white, and violet, from late spring to early summer. Generally more winter-hardy than the larger-flowered Pansy, Violas have even been known to bloom all winter in southern parts of the country! Seldom bothered by pests or disease and content in a variety of soils, Violas are easy and fun to grow, filling beds, windowsills, and containers with bright color!

McFarlane Toys Reveals Second Series of Realistic Military Action Figures
Friday, September 02, 2005
Earlier this year, McFarlane Toys released its first line of action figures based on modern military soldiers, opening up a new category in our ever-growing catalog of products. This first foray into the world of military collectibles was met with great enthusiasm from both our longtime fans, regardless of their collecting habits - sports, movie, comic book, monsters, etc. - as well as military collectors and individuals who don't necessarily consider themselves "collectors."
With our first series (McFarlane's Military) such a resounding success we quickly developed a way to expand on that initial line with a series of figures that would work in unison with McFarlane's Military. The results, McFarlane's Military: Redeployed, which features variations of the six original figures in a fashion that allows them to work together in two-man squads while showcasing a number of differences -- whether they be in the actual sculpture or paint applications -- will be available at retail later this month.
And the troops continue to roll out...
Now that the stage has been set and you have an understanding of the short (but growing) history of McFarlane's Military, we are now proud to present to you the second all-new line of modern military action figures. Complete with the attention to detail that is the hallmark of all McFarlane Toys' action figures, McFarlane's Military: 2nd Tour of Duty consists of...ARMY PARATROOPERARMY DESERT INFANTRY GRENADIERMARINENAVY SEAL COMMANDOMARINE RADIOMANARMY SPECIAL FORCES SNIPERSculpted in life-like poses with accurate uniforms and equipment used by modern American military soldiers and including custom detailed bases, each figure is represented in standard McFarlane action figure scale (6 to 7 inches).
Stay tuned for further updates regarding our plans for the future of McFarlane's Military -- a future that holds an ever-expanding lineup of figures and accessories for an array of military-based products.
McFarlane's Military: 2nd Tour of Duty will be in stores this November.
Neither the Department of Defense nor any of its components has approved, endorsed or authorized this product.

State trial courts are very busy places. San Francisco's courts house many judges and commissioners who are simultaneously presiding in many courtrooms over many matters. Most courtrooms are open to the public, so you may walk around to find a proceeding of interest. (The major exception is juvenile court, which in San Francisco is housed at 375 Woodland Avenue, not in the Civic Center.) The legal newspapers list the dockets for each courtroom, but with little information about the nature of the cases being heard. In San Francisco, pretrial motions are heard by the judges assigned to the Law and Motion Department; when cases are ready for trial, they are then assigned to a courtroom for trial. An exception is complex civil cases, which are assigned to the judges in the complex litigation department to handle from filing through completion.
San Francisco Superior Court, Criminal DivisionHall of Justice
Criminal matters are heard at the Hall of JusticeMonday throughFriday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM.
San Francisco Superior Court, Civil DivisionCivic Center Court House
Trials, almost all civil, are in session in multiple courtrooms on any given day. The Law and Motion Department (Departments 301 and 302)hears pretrial (and sometimes post trial) motions every day from 8 AM- 4 PM.
For information, call 415.551.4000.
The court recommends that observers arrive early in the day, as that is the best time to see the court at its busiest. For calendar information call Valerie McGrew, Court Manager, at 415.551.3908.Or, for general information, call 415.551.3900.
Youth Courts
Not your average juvenile justice! Youth Courts are diversion programs that offer a different approach to keeping youth out of legal trouble. The juriesare made up of teens, and offenders are represented by teen attorneys. Youth Courts are based on a restorative justice model rather than a punitive one. Sentences usually involve community service, as well as other activities as determined by the peer-jury. These may include counseling, letters of apology, or anger management programs, among others. Although some youth courts determine innocence and guilt, generally, to participate in a youth court program,the offender must ake responsibility for his or her actions by admitting guilt.Once their sentences are served,offenders' records are wiped clean, giving them a second chance and keeping them out of juvenile hall.
In the Bay Area, there are two Youth Courts that are open to the public, both a short drive from San Francisco.
Marin County Youth Court
All Marin County Youth Court trials use a format in which the jury asks questions of the respondent. Most cases involve drug and alcohol offenses, and in such cases the respondent is not represented by an attorney. In cases where the offense has created a victim, teen attorneys represent both the respondent and the victim or community at large.
The Marin County Youth Court convenes every Tuesday at 4:30 PMat the Marin County Superior Court, which is located in the Marin County Civic Center. Cases are usually heard in Courtrooms M and K. Marin County Superior Court is located at:
3501 Civic Center Drive
San Rafael, CA 94903

I bought this on a whim while visiting overseas, and while I do love this, I feel that this can emphasize large pores and fine lines despite the claims to blurring them. That said, it excels both as a highlighter and all-over finishing powder and it gives me the most natural, healthy glow.
How I wish this was available as a full-sized single product. I have it in the trio of powders and it is by far my favourite and one I would love to repurchase on its own, if only I could. This gives the prettiest, most flattering "lit from within" finish to my face when I dust it over liquid foundation as a setting powder. The sheen is subtle and flattering.

A living will lets you specify decisions about artificial life support in advance. It not only ensures your wishes will be heard, but also protects your loved ones from having to make these difficult, deeply personal choices for you.
I was able to get my documents in a timely manner before I had major surgery...I don't know why I waited so long!!
Theresa S., Dayton, OH
Generally, anyone who is at least 18 years old and of sound mind can create a living will. In this context, "sound mind" usually means the ability to understand what the living will is, what it contains, and what it does.
Your living will takes effect when your doctors determine that you are seriously ill. Those circumstances also vary by state law. They include being in an irreversible coma or being terminally ill with no reasonable chance of recovery, and can't make decisions for yourself.
If you prepared a health care power of attorney, it takes effect when your doctors determine that you are unable to make health care decisions on your own.
This varies from state to state, but doctors tend to evaluate the following types of factors in determining whether or not you can make decisions for yourself:
After your doctor has made this determination, most states require this decision be explained in writing before any medical treatment decision can be made.

CRESTVIEW — Tyler Henderson has been making big plays for the Crestview football team since the first game of his freshman year in August of 2009. It might have only been a preseason Kickoff Classic against Gulf Breeze, but it didn't take long for Henderson to make his presence known as he intercepted a Dolphin pass and returned it for a touchdown.
He's been making plays for the Bulldogs ever since as a defensive back, return specialist and punter. He's even played a little running back and quarterback when needed.
Henderson's next first game will be as college freshman against the University of Miami for Florida Atlantic University. Henderson signed his National-Letter of Intent to play for the Owls on Wednesday in a ceremony in the Crestview High School auditorium.
Henderson wasn't the only Bulldog football player that signed Wednesday. Crestview running Micah Reed signed with the University of Central Florida and linebacker/defensive back Justin Rebholz signed with the Division III United States Coast Guard Academy.
Crestview head football coach and athletic director Kevin Pettis said each of the players have their own skill sets that make each special.
"I think Micah brings a durability that he is going to be able to carry the ball 30 or 40 times a game," Pettis said. "And I think Tyler brings an explosiveness to a team. And I think Rebby brings stability.
"He may not always make the flashiest plays, but he's always there. If you start counting tackles, he's always going to be around the ball."
Henderson, who also hopes to play baseball for the Owls had 82 tackles, four interceptions and seven tackles for loss from his safety position. No slouch in the classroom, he had offers from Duke, Vanderbilt and the United States Naval Academy before picking Florida Atlantic.
"I feel like everything happens for a reason and FAU came calling on me at the right time and that's where I'm meant to be," he said. "I just love the game and I love learning new things about the game every day.
"When coach (Pete) Rekstis (FAU defensive coordinator and secondary coach) came here and taught me the defense you could tell he knew everything there was to know about the game and I hope he passes that on to me."
Henderson admits his football is his first love, but the added opportunity to possibly play baseball as well was just the icing on the cake.
"That (the baseball) just sweetened the deal," he said. "To be able to go down there and continue both of my careers just makes it that much better.
"Having a shot at both of them gives me a better shot at making it (to the pros) in one of them."
Like Henderson, Rebholz has enjoyed success on both the diamond and the football field, but he'll strictly be a one-sport athlete at the Coast Guard Academy.
Rebholz also had an opportunity to attend the Air Force Academy, but he felt the Coast Guard Academy offered him the best opportunities athletically, academically and in his military career.
"I had a choice between Air Force and Coast Guard and Coast Guard really is going to pay off for me in the long run," he said. "I can pick my job after I graduate and I'm always going to be on a coast in the United States. I'll never be stationed out in the middle of nowhere.
"I'll never go to war and I'll always be in a beautiful port city. And it's like a 97 percent job satisfaction in the Coast Guard."
As a linebacker and defensive back Rebholz was in on 130 tackles for Crestview last season, but he said he'll get a first look on offense when football practice starts at the academy.
"They told me I could start off playing any position I wanted," he said. "I asked them about running back, linebacker, corner, safety. They said wherever you want to go you pick.
"They said if we need you in another position, we are going to move you there, but I think starting out I'm going to go out and try running back."
There is no doubt that Reed will be a running back at Central Florida. At times this season he was the Crestview offense as rushed for more than 1,600 yards. Add another 900 plus yards he gained his junior year and Reed easily gained close to 2,600 yards in his two years as the Bulldog starting tailback.
With numbers like that he should come as no surprise that he had the opportunity to attend other schools. He had offers on the table from the University of Mississippi and the University of Kentucky, but at the end of the day he felt Central Florida offered everything he wanted.
"I'm feeling really excited right now," Reed said. "I'm so overwhelmed with joy because it's just a new start for me. I felt like it was the best fit for me of all the teams that offered me a scholarship,
"I just felt like it was really home when I went down there for my visit. I feel like I can play a big part on offense."
Reed said he enjoyed the recruiting process for the most part and he learned some things about himself along the way.
"It was fun, but then it was tiring and frustrating," he said. "You are going back and forth deciding which way is the best way. But it was a fun experience and it just taught me a lot and showed me a lot in decision making."

Frontera Texas Original Taco Skillet Sauce, Set of 6 2 2
Blown away by the flavor! This is the best taco seasoning ever! I never even think much of taco seasoning, its typically just a salty, spicy flavor. This sauce has a depth of flavors that is so good and unexpected that I almost feel like its a waste for just tacos. It's also not as salty tasting as most taco seasoning...in a good way. I like to cook ground beef in big chunks using this sauce and then just serve the meat by itself with some mexican sides. I don't want the flavor hidden in the taco. Either way...you'll love this.

Great This is the best taco seasoning I have ever had. Everyone in the family loved it last night and I am now ordering more. May 30, 2013

Our shipping team wanted to share with everyone how we test our ramps for safety. Enjoy!
Discount Ramps is constantly searching for new ramps to better serve our customer's needs. When we find a product that we would like to list on our website it must first successfully pass a vigorous product test. The product tests are performed by Bob K (President), Mark F (Paramedic and Part Time Sales) and Jeff G (Paramedic and Purchasing Manager). During the testing process Jeff and Mark are standing by in case something were to go wrong. The ramps are tested in real time scenarios. During the product test they are testing the weight capacity, looking for sharp edges, proper angles of attaching end and the bottom of the ramp and if the safety straps are appropriate for that ramp. If the ramp does not meet our standards we will not sell the product. Discount Ramps number one priority is keeping customers safe. Thank you for visiting our blog and please check back frequently to see all of our new products!

(Deadspin) - In advance of this afternoon's interview, Katie Couric's show has released recordings of three voicemails provided by Manti Te'o. The messages were left on Te'o's phone by who he believed was Lennay Kekua. As the Daily News reported this morning, hoaxer Ronaiah Tuiasosopo claims he disguised his voice over the phone, and Te'o was always talking to Tuiasosopo posing as a woman.
Lennay speaks to Te'o before her first chemotherapy session:
This is a jealous Kekua accusing Te'o of having a girl in his room:
This voicemail was left for Te'o on Sept. 11, 2012, the day Kekua claimed she had been released from the hospital. (Original accounts of Te'o's tragedy put her release on Sept. 10.) On the 12th, she "died."
Yeah, that absolutely sounds like a woman. Couric saw what are reported to be Te'o's phone records, and claims there were "dozens of calls, some hours long, to one phone number." ESPN's spreadsheet had indicated "more than 1,000" calls over a four-month span.

A "just for fun" question: Let's say that Stephen King is coming to your house tonight to watch a movie with you. You want to impress him with your great taste, originality and coolness, possibly show him something he hasn't seen before, maybe scare him, or maybe just make him laugh. Assume any movie is available, past or present. What movie (or movies, if you can't just name one) do you show him?
If Steve happens to read this, maybe he'll get some decent recommendations!

Lourdes Drama Society to present Festival of One Act playsWritten by John Dorsey | | email@example.com
The drama society at Lourdes University wants everyone to get into the act— one production at a time with their annual festival of one act plays. The renowned three day event, now in its 6th year, will kick off in the Franciscan Center Theatre on April 19.
"We are thrilled about the festival this year. We received 145 submissions, up from 80 the year before and three of the winners will be coming in to see their plays and these pieces are all original works. I think a lot of people who go to the theater, not just in the Toledo area, but all over, tend to see productions that they are already familiar with, one of the things that our festival does, is show that new plays can be just as exciting," said Drama Society Faculty Adviser Keith Ramsdale.
Featured plays include "Couples Therapy" by Matt Crowley, "Eternity" by Elan Garonzik, "Jodi, Ree and Joe-Joe" by Edward Versailles, "Native Tongu"e by George Bryjak, "Recalculating" by L.E. Grabowski-Cotton, "Quality Time" by Chris Shaw Swanson, "The Shakespeare Critiques "by Louis Felder, "Testimonial" by Jack Rushen, "This Could Never Happen to Rosemary Clooney" by Carl Williams.
"We really wanted to make all of the productions intimate and accessible for the audience so one of the things we did this year is to build a stage on the stage where we placed 130 chairs per performance. One of our first goals was to produce original works by playwrights from around the world and here we are doing just that. The fact that these are one act plays allows us to offer a lot of variety which is a rare thing and for that reason I think that audiences won't want to miss this," said Ramsdale.
The casts for the various productions includes Morgan Rohan, Nate Kuehnl, Danita Binkowski, Dave Caygill, Courtney Gilliland, Megan Carter, Brad Somogye, Megan Mockensturm, Rachel Esposito, Paula Larsen, Matthew Will, Frank Saucedo, Sarah Wright, Bob Sutton, Kelly Fandrey, and Tim Robinson.
Eternity, the Shakespeare Critiques and Couples Therapy were the winners of the Drama Society's One Act Playwriting Competition held last fall.
Performances will be Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, April 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 for general admission and $5 for seniors

"...After just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%!..."
Hi my name is Kelly Scali. I just have to say that I am not the type of person to believe in something so much that I would do a testimonial. You always think that these things are a fake anyway.
But not in this case, I would absolutely recommend Rocket German Premium to anyone who wants to learn a language. I have tried almost everything to learn German with no real success.
I took four semesters in college, adult classes, listened to CD's, played computer programs, had books galore and just couldn't master it, not even with German speaking mom or fiancée. I just couldn't grasp it and I was so afraid to sound ridiculous until Rocket German Premium.
Just to give you a little background, my mom was born in Germany and left when she was 21 to marry my American soldier father, so when she came to the U.S. she was so set on learning English that she didn't even want to teach my sister and I German, even though we went there regularly as kids.
As an adult I traveled there every year for the past six years and relied on everyone to speak English, which they did of course, but that didn't help. In fact I met my fiancée there, so I realize I have to learn this language, even though he is fluent in English. Too embarrassed to allow him to teach me, to his frustration, I thought I would try one more thing. While searching I saw the Rocket German Premium link. After reading about it and then trying the 6 free lessons, I was completely hooked. I knew I couldn't go wrong and the price was really reasonable.
So after just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I'm speaking and comprehending everything they teach, even my mom and my fiancée are amazed and impressed on my progress, but mostly over the fact that I will speak to them now. My fiancée is so happy because now I allow him to actually take me further with the language, and learn new things. And trust me, this is no easy task.
I know this sounds too good to be true, but believe me, it is. It's so much fun, and very interactive, and you actually feel like you are having a real conversation, which you are, with Nik and Paul the presenters..
I always felt that I wasn't learning real life language skills, and could never put it together. This course gives me exactly what I need. They teach real life situations, and don't bombard you with the grammar rules like classes and books do, but you still learn this stuff too. I do admit that having a bit of knowledge on some of the vocab and grammar helps, but it's not at all necessary with this course. It actually takes you step-by-step and you really do learn.
Every morning while I am getting ready for work, I start the lessons. I play the same lesson for two days before I moving to the next, and I always repeat the last lesson first to refresh my memory and keep the old stuff alive in my head. After every series I listen to the whole lesson one more time before moving onto the next level. I even print out the lessons and carry with me to study wherever I am. I know if I don't keep it up, I won't be able to keep it in.
My fear and embarrassment is what set me back and obviously hindered me from retaining anything. I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%. I never in a million years thought it would be possible. I actually started to think I just didn't have the talent to learn another language but this course made me realize that I just wasn't learning it the correct way. The biggest benefit for me is to be able to get over the fear because I have Nik and Paul to talk to, so to speak.
I don't want anyone to take my word for it, they have to try it for themselves. You will, without a doubt, feel the same way, I guarantee it, and if you are still unsure, I'd be more than happy to give my email address to anyone that wants to hear it from me firsthand.
So, anyway, I just wanted to say "Thanks Rocket German Premium, this is really, really a great course.

"Probably the best language tool I've come across. Actually love it more than Rosetta Stone and Duolingo"
Probably the best language tool I've come across. Actually love it more than Rosetta Stone and Duolingo. I will definitely be paying for the full product.
The 6 day free preview is a blast to field languages to see if they will work for you. I strongly recommend everyone consider the ASL which is not what I typically expect to find in language courses. Full immersion with video only. Great for hearing and hard of hearing who are lip readers.
Tempted to overload with multiple languages (looked at Korean. After one look I have a far better understanding of written Korean)
Absolutely worth it!

I have just finished my Free Trial. During this period, I also tried several other competitor free trials, and used all of the comparing the similarities and differences.
*Rosetta Stone was easily dismissed as I did not think they did well with phrase translations, but only focused on the single word.
* There were a couple others, that were just too expensive, so that was an easy "No".
* Germanpod101 was very similar to RocketGerman, but did not have the progress dashboard, and quite frankly, they had more unnecessary humor and comments in some of their dialogs that were not relative to the language learning.
* Rocket German was more geared to the learner. They keep encouraging routine practice, and the dashboard monitors your progress. Breaking down words into exact pronunciation has really helped me, and I only had the free trial !!!
In summary, Rocket German, in my opinion was the best language course for me at the best price. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

BELLEVUE, Wash. – Senior Ryan Beck became the second New Mexico State pitcher to mark 300 strikeouts in a career as the Aggies bounced back and defeated Seattle U 4-0 at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue, Wash., Friday, May 17.
Beck entered the game in the top of the seventh after starting pitcher Christopher Bradley worked 6.1 innings and marked six strikeouts while giving up just three hits. Beck's 300th strikeout came against the first batter he faced, while he finished the day with three K's totally 302 on his career. He needs 21 more strikeouts to break the school record, which is held by former Aggie Gary Goldsmith who played from 1990-93.
The game started with four scoreless innings before NM State exploded for three runs on three hits in the top of the fifth. Junior Michael Paulson started the inning with a lead-off single up the middle before advancing to second when junior Michael Medina got on with a walk, his 42nd walk of the year. Junior Quinnton Mack tallied his 21st RBI of the season when he blasted a double to leftfield and junior Tanner Rust followed him with an RBI groundout to the shortstop. Senior Parker Hipp tallied the last RBI of the inning on a single up the middle to bring in Mack, giving the Aggies a 3-0 lead.
The sixth inning started with a lead-off single by senior Kyle Phillips and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior Jory Goldstrom. Freshman Kent Blackstone helped bring in hitting an RBI single through the right-side.
The Aggies finished the game scoring four runs on eight hits and move to 28-25 on the year and 13-13 in WAC play. Christopher Bradley was the winning pitcher and is now 5-4 this season. This marks the fourth shutout NM State has posted this season with the last shutout coming against San Jose State on May 4 when the Aggies won 9-0.
"Baseball is a crazy game. We lost 15-2 yesterday and comeback to shutout today," head coach Rocky Ward said. "Bradley had good command today and today is probably as good as he has been all year. He had some good outings at the start of the year but I am really proud of what he did today."
