Montrose superintendent resigns
The Montrose Area School Board accepted the resignation, with regret, of Superintendent Michael Ognosky at the Monday, Aug. 12 board meeting. Ognosky gave his 90-day notice, per the requirements of his contract.
Ognosky explained he had been presented with an opportunity to pursue more fully his other "vocation" – officiating college basketball.
"Where I am going and the time on the road, I wouldn't be able to do this job as it is supposed to be done, as it needs to be done," he said. "I'm thrilled this has come at the right time. I always said I would know when it was time to retire."
Ognosky's last day with the district years is Nov. 1. He has been employed at Montrose Area for over 38 years and has served as the district's superintendent for the past 12 years. Prior to that, he was employed as a teacher, assistant principal and principal.
He is the second Susquehanna County superintendent to announce his retirement. Elk Lake Superintendent William Bush recently announced he plans to retire at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
The district is moving forward with tightening up security at the three schools.
During the work session, the board heard from Elliot & Ross Investigations and Security Consultants who provided members with a safety audit and site assessment.
Since receiving the preliminary report, the district has moved ahead with the implementation of some of the security firm's recommendations, including having all employees wear identification badges while on school property.
A key control policy will also be implemented, with electronic key fobs built into the employee badges.
The consultants said they were impressed with the district's camera system which already captures many of the problem areas of district campuses. "The administrative team knows the weak points and is taking care of those areas," said one of the presenters.
It was also advised that Montrose update its emergency response plan and devise a policy that provides for a consistent district-wide plan; followed by the training of personnel.
Ognosky said the district would hold a table top exercise this week; followed by a controlled drill with staff in the next few months; and a full drill in eight to nine months with participation from local emergency responders.
Dave Elliott said he had interviewed teachers, guidance counselors and staff who noted some of the same concerns as the school administrators.
He said that there were a lot of "small things" – such as the removal of some items and changing some things around – which is already being addressed.
Elliott also recommended the district develop a threat assessment team with all types of school personnel involved.
"It's not stuff that can be fixed overnight," Elliot said.
Ognosky said, "The safety of the kids is the schools' top priority." He added the consultants had given the district fresh, new ideas to look at.
The bulk of the regular meeting was spent preparing for the upcoming school year.
The board rescinded the transfer of bus routes 40 and 41 from Conaty Transportation to Timothy Legg Busing.
Bus routes 52 and 71 were transferred from Gerald and Beverly Legg to Timothy Legg Busing, effective the start of the school year.
Late bus contractors were approved: Route A, Lawsville, to William and Evelyn Goff; Route B, Birchardville, to James Ainey; Route C, Little Meadows, to Timothy Legg Busing; Route D, Lathrop St. Elementary to Tennant Transportation; and Route E, Choconut Valley Elementary to Conaty Transportation.
Bus contractors James Ainey; Clifford, Dawn and Thad Taylor; Tennant Transportation; and Bunnell Busing were approved for activity runs.
New teachers were also hired by the board. Nicole Russell was hired as a kindergarten teacher at Choconut Valley; and Nicole Pfamatter was hired as a fourth grade teacher at Lathrop Street. Mariah Stahl was hired as a half-time French teacher at the Junior/Senior High School.
Long-term substitutes were also approved: Dayle Weber, second grade, Choconut Valley; Eric Lloyd, sixth grade, Choconut Valley; Stephanie Gow, second grade, Lathrop Street; Cortney Hoffa, life skills, Lathrop Street; Paul Devine, learning support, high school; Jill Hudecek, English and Journalism, high school; and Anthony McKennas, science, high school.
McKennas was also approved as an assistant football coach beginning with the 2013 season.
Jason Whitney was hired as the full-time computer technician for the district, retroactive to July 24.
Mary Lee Fitzgerald provided the board with information about the Montrose Area Adult School. The Adult School offers some of its late afternoon and evening classes at the high school.
Former school board member Ken Gould thanked the board for its continued support of a veterans support group in the Binghamton, N.Y. area that also serves Susquehanna County.
The district donates its recycled computers to the organization. Those computers are then utilized in veterans centers and clinics, and also distributed to veterans.
Ognosky said the practice would continue.

Real Housewives Of DC Probably Out
By Mack Rawden 5 years ago comments
Im far from a reality television fanatic, but the shows I do watch regularly all have one thing in common: people worth watching. As a consequence, my interest level has sharply varied depending on the season in question. For example: I will always watch repeats of Top Chef season 1, usually watch repeats of seasons 2, 4 and 6, may watch the occasional season 3 or 7 airing but will have nothing to do with season 5. The show wasnt any worse on paper during season 5, I just didnt really enjoy watching any of the contestants not named Fabio or Stefan. The same general principal could also apply to American Idol (still love season 4, still hate 3), Survivor (still love season 1, still hate 2) or Project Runway (still love season 4, hate season 5). Just because you have a hit format doesnt mean its always going to work if youre changing out players. Thats a hard lesson Bravo is learning with The Real Housewives.
According to Radar Online, the failures of Real Housewives: DC and now Miami have forced producers to reevaluate their strategy. Rather than constantly expanding, theyre going to shore up the incarnations that did work, and the ones that didnt are likely S.O.L. The aforementioned website is reporting Real Housewives: DC has been canceled, but Zap2It reached out to Bravo and got a statement saying they havent yet decided on the programs future. Best case scenario, itll be shelved for a retool.
I would suspect if Bravo officially scraps it for more episodes of New York, Orange County, Atlanta or New Jersey, hardcore viewers wont lose much sleep. They cant all be winners, and the more you expand, the more you detract from your original brand.

WEST LIBERTY - When West Liberty gets the opportunity to play its style of basketball, the run-and-gun variety, it normally doesn't take long for things to get out of hand when the Hilltoppers get rolling.
Monday night was more of the same for the NCAA Division II's No. 1-ranked team as Point Park, which is also a fan of up-tempo basketball, paid a visit and found out that it might like to run, but it is definitely no match for Coach Jim Crutchfield's team.
Senior Chris Morrow paced six double-figure scorers with 22 points and junior Cedric Harris added a double-double with 21 points and 11 assists as West Liberty steadily pulled away for a convincing 136-84 victory against the Pioneers, the Hilltoppers' 89th victory in its last 92 games at the ASRC.

Monday's victory against Point Park at the ASRC.

The victory moves Crutchfield's team to 5-0 with a trip to Parkersburg and a West Virginia Conference contest with Ohio Valley next up at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
West Liberty was able to spread the wealth a little Monday with all 12 players seeing action in both halves, and all denting the scoring column. Six players established season-highs in point totals while seven eclipsed their year-to-date scoring averages.
In the four previous games that Crutchfield's teams have faced Point Park, they have won by an average score of 130-87, which was very similar to Monday's final tally.
''Point Park plays like we like to play," Crutchfield said. ''They are a good team and win a lot of games, but we really like to play the up-tempo game and so do they. This was a very good pace for us (Monday) and it gave us the chance to get all 12 players into the game quickly, and in both halves.''
Veteran coach Bob Rager, who had two players, including a starter and his sixth man, sitting out after getting ejected from the Pioneers' last game, watched his team stay close for the initial two minutes at 5-3. That is before Harris hit four consecutive shots, and a then hit a fifth in a row after a Point Park hoop that pushed the margin quickly to 15-5.
The Pioneers (5-2) were still down 27-23 midway through the first half when West Liberty began adding to its totals. In the blink of an eye it was an 11-point margin at 34-23 followed shortly thereafter by a 17-point bulge at 48-31 with 5:50 still to play in the half.
Following a 67-47 count at the break, a 13-5 blast pushed the score to 80-52 and the rout was on. With the score at 97-72 with 8:50 showing, the Hilltoppers went on another spurt, this time outscoring their guests by a 23-2 margin and the score ballooning out to 120-74. After a Point Park hoop the hosts went on another mini-burst, this time an 8-0 run to put the lead over 50.
''Slowly but surely we began pulling away,'' Crutchfield said. ''I thought that having fresh bodies on the court helped and did a good job of wearing them down. We had a few runs, but at times they were just too tired to get back and only had two or three guys on defense.
''We also passed up a lot of shots, I think because guys were too open and just a little reluctant to take them. But I was glad to see the 3s start falling in the second half. Chris Morrow had a nice game, but he is not used to being left that open and he wasn't doing much until he decided to start shooting.
''Another key was that we shared the ball very well, and when you have two guards who combine for 18 assists and only two turnovers (Harris and Wheeling Park graduate Bubby Goodwin), that is a big help and very good.
''For the most part we are playing good right now, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.''
Freshman Seger Bonifant added 21 big points off the bench for West Liberty while Alex Falk had 17, Keene Cockburn 16 and Shawn Dyer 11. Falk also pulled down a team high nine rebounds. Jimmy Taylor led Pioneers with 22 while Babatunde Somoye added 20 points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort.
West Liberty shot more than 52 percent for the game, a stat that is even more impressive by the fact that the Hilltoppers took 107 shots in the contest. They also drained 17 3-pointers, to just seven for their guests.

Heading into Thanksgiving Skechers (NYSE:SKX) was very thankful Nov. 21 due to an analyst upgrade from "Neutral" to "Positive" that sent its stock up 10% on heavy trading. It seems retailers are pleased with its new shoe styles and the company has found a renewed focus on controlling expenses. Its stock is up 54% year-to-date, yet it's still trading 58% below its five-year high of $44.90. With business getting stronger, is it time to buy?
Discount Brokers Comparison: Your one-stop shop for finding the perfect broker for your investments.
Five Good Things Happening at Skechers
1. Gross margins are generally increasing. In the third-quarter Skechers' gross margin increased by 120 basis points to 43.7% on revenues of $187.8 million. Most importantly, its biggest segment, domestic wholesale, increased gross margins by 210 basis points to 37.2% on revenues of $64.7 million. The biggest improvement, however, in terms of gross margins came from its retail stores, which managed to improve by 230 basis points to 58%.
2. Same-store sales at its domestic retail stores increased 6.2% in Q3 while its international retail stores increased sales by 0.6% for an overall increase of 5.5%. With 346 company-owned retail stores, the fourth quarter looks very favorable.
SEE: Understanding The Income Statement
3. Using Skechers GOrun (retails for $80) footwear in the London Olympic marathon Aug. 12, American runner Meb Keflezighi finished fourth, the best performance from the U.S. team. Just as promising, the U.K. version of Runner's World magazine recently awarded Skechers GObionic shoes with an "Editor's Choice" selection. After the toning shoe debacle, who knew Skechers could actually make good shoes.
4. Increasing gross margins combined with a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, managed to improve the operating margin in Q3 by 420 basis points to 4.7%. In the first nine months of the year it managed to deliver an operating profit of $14.4 million compared to a loss of $30.7 million in the previous year. Profitability is improving to the extent that Tom Haggerty, the Susquehanna analyst mentioned earlier, estimates Skechers will earn 88 cents per share in 2013.
5. Lastly, its capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2012 were $28.2 million, $86.1 million less than in the previous year. For all of 2012, Skechers anticipates capital expenditures that are $89 million less year-over- year. It's possible that it will generate positive free cash flow in 2012 although if it does it won't be very much. That will have to wait for 2013.
Why Buy?
Given the 10% jump in its stock, I'd be hesitant to buy if you're not planning to hold beyond 2013. If you've got a three-year holding period or longer, however, I wouldn't hesitate buying, because many shoe companies exhibiting weakness in their businesses over the last couple of years are starting to come around. For instance, K-Swiss (Nasdaq:KSWS) announced on Nov. 1 that its third quarter net loss was $1.9 million, which beats analysts' estimate by a wide margin. The news sent its stock up 36% in one day and although its chart over the past year doesn't seem to support a resurgence in its stock price, its business is on the mend. The same holds true for Brown Shoe (NYSE:BWS), which crushed its third quarter adjusted earnings, prompting it to raise its 2012 adjusted earnings per share from 92 cents to at least $1.06. It's no wonder its stock is trading at a 52-week high and 13% from a five-year high. The downtrodden in the shoe industry are making a comeback and Skechers is leading the charge.
SEE: 5 Must-Have Metrics For Value Investors
The Bottom Line
It's important to remember that the markets see 6-12 months in advance. You might not be completely convinced that Skechers has extricated itself from the toning shoe disaster it found itself in, but by the time you are, I assure you it will be above $22, the price target set by Susquhanna's Tom Haggerty. But as I said, if you're not prepared to own it beyond 2013, you're probably better elsewhere.

Best Kids Parties: Yellow & White
My Party: Skylar (Sherman Oaks, CA)
Malissa's party revolved around a cheerful color, not to mention her cheerful daughter. She shares: For our daughter's first birthday we wanted to keep it simple. Everything was either yellow or white: homemade pom-poms, sunflowers, photos documenting her first 12 months and cupcakes made with her grandmother's cream cheese frosting.
Since we scheduled the party for early in the day - it worked best with her nap schedule - light brunch items were a no-brainer.
Party favors were egg shakers (Skylar's favorite toy) and Hot Wheels cars since so far she's the only little girl in our circle of friends. Bubbles and a cornmeal "sand" table kept little hands busy while the adults enjoyed their nosh.
Thanks Malissa!

Cottage style (also the Edwardian era and Arts and Crafts movement)
Origins: Most of us connect cottage gardens with the golden era of great gardening, between 1880 and 1910, when the grand dame of herbaceous borders, Gertrude Jekyll, and her numerous staff created romantic, blowsy landscapes filled with subtle combinations of perennials.
This garden style, which shares a similar time frame and characteristics with the Edwardian era and Arts and Crafts movement, was Jekyll's and garden designer and writer William Robinson's reaction to what they considered the abominations of gaudy and contrived Victorian gardens. They feared the traditions of the original cottage gardens, tended by peasants in the 16th and 17th centuries, would be lost under the deluge of Victorian frippery. These romanticized versions of "cottage gardening" were far less practical and prosaic than the originals—small patches of vegetables, herbs and a few flowers grown for medicinal purposes. By 1900 these rediscovered cottage gardens were very fashionable.
The growing dissatisfaction with the machine-made creations of the Industrial Revolution was also part of the impetus for a return to a less contrived, more natural look. The clutter of mass-produced ornaments that so impressed the Victorians were cast out in favour of simpler, handcrafted items made by artisans, hence the Arts and Crafts moniker for this time period.
Characteristics: Broad, generous porches with sturdy, square pillars and simple, clean roof-lines replaced Victorian turrets and gingerbread trim. Houses were clad with horizontal wood siding or brick. Local, natural materials were preferred, and porch columns artfully constructed from rough stones weren't uncommon. In North America, square, two-storey, brick houses with tall, wood-framed, pyramid-shaped roofs hiding a small third storey were a popular version of the Arts and Crafts style, which lasted until the beginning of the First World War.
Design: Gardens from this era reflected nature, and great care was taken to balance the house and the landscape, not allowing either to domi-nate. Out went the novelty plants and unnatural creations of the Victorian era; their place was taken by perennial and shrub borders. Neatly trimmed hedges highlighted a profusion of colourful blooms.
Surface materials: A path of randomly cut flagstone (sometimes called crazy paving) or rough stone leading to the front entrance of a cottage garden is suitable. Pea gravel or shredded bark also work. For the simpler lines of later Arts and Crafts styles, square-cut stone or pavers are fitting choices.
Structures: Install pretty arbours and garden benches to match the shapes of columns and moulding on porches. A small summer house or gazebo set in a shady glade would be the perfect spot to contemplate nature.
Finishing touches: The cottage gardeners of the late 1800s were quite proud of their tender perennials, such as geraniums (Pelargonium spp. and cvs.) and fuchsias, displaying them in terra-cotta pots along windowsills or on plant stands during the summer and carefully overwintering them indoors.
Wooden window boxes and other containers made of reconstituted stone in simple, classic shapes look at home in a cottage or Arts and Crafts garden. An elegant bird bath set among flowering perennials with a Lutyens-style garden bench (a design popularized by Edwin Lutyens, a colleague of Jekyll) nearby would be ideal.
Plants: lots of flowers and herbs create a friendly, cozy look. Favourites include roses, clematis, border phlox (Phlox paniculata spp. and cvs.), lilies, lavender, pinks (Dianthus spp. and cvs.), pansies (Viola spp. and cvs.), gayfeather (Liatris spicata), delphiniums, lupine (Lupinus spp. and cvs.), rose campion (Lychnis coronaria), hollyhocks (Alcea rosea cvs.) and foxgloves (Digitalis spp. and cvs.). The challenge of designing a cottage garden is to group perennials in pleasing combinations that look effortless but are, in fact, anything but. Those charmingly blowsy flower borders we go gaga over rely on careful planning for successive bloom as well as diligent dividing, staking, deadheading and pruning.

Awards to honour GWH super carers (From This Is Wiltshire)
Awards to honour GWH super carers
Updated 11:14am Saturday 1st February 2014 in
TIME has come once again for the public to nominate extraordinary doctors, nurses and health workers for the Great Western Hospital's People's Choice Awards.
As part of the annual Staff Excellence Awards, now in their fifth year, former and current patients and service users are being invited to put forward anyone from a dentist or even a receptionist to a therapist for the honour.
The accolade recognises the outstanding achievements, hard work and dedication shown by staff, both at Great Western Hospital in Swindon and out in community hospitals and services across Wiltshire.
Oonagh Fitzgerald, director of workforce and education at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Each year the launch of our annual Staff Excellence Awards is always met with great enthusiasm and excitement. It is a great opportunity to celebrate the success of our staff in delivering professional, high-quality services and care to our patients every day of the year.
"In a busy NHS trust we don't always get the chance to step back and reflect on the difference our staff make to people's lives. This is why I think the People's Choice Award is particularly special; it is a chance for patients and service users, their relatives or their friends to acknowledge those teams or individual members of staff who have gone the extra mile for them, and a chance for our trust to formally recognise them."
Last year's People's Choice Award was won by antenatal and newborn screening coordinator Sue Tucker. She was put forward for the title for going above and beyond her duties to provide support to a bereaved couple after they lost their baby.
Sue said: "I was so pleased to win. It was a real honour to be nominated, especially by a service user. It validates what you do on a daily basis when someone going through a difficult time makes the decision to nominate."
Other categories include Working Together, Special Achievement and Leadership and are only for nominations from members of staff themselves.
Judges will select a shortlist and all hopefuls will be invited to a special awards ceremony at the STEAM Museum in June 2014 where the winners will be announced.
Visit www.gwh.nhs.uk to download a nomination form.
Alternatively contact email@example.com or call 01793 604431.
The deadline is 5pm on Friday, March 7.

If your self-centred egos must be appeased, do it quietly, and not inform the press you idiots.

Of 100,000 NHS staff it was found one in four had complained about bullying by their managers.
It delights in the ritual humiliation of those deemed to fail, tolerates and institutionalises outdated working practices and old-fashioned hierarchies and can almost encourage "managers" and "clinicians" to occupy opposing camps.
We need the Government to change the way it holds the NHS to account: an end to trusts being blind-sided by waiting targets that miss the point, skew priorities and have unintended consequences

FYI, Ottawa lost a super bike store to fire earlier this morning. The store, located on Bank St., lies mostly in ruins.
Thankfully no one was hurt and according to early reports, they managed to save lots of inventory. T & L carries great ski/board stuff in winter and great lines of road/hybrid/mtb bikes in summer. Plus lots of great gear, clothing, etc.

Tyroni's Italian Cafe
You could say that Tyler Barnes made a name for himself going dough to dough… from spinning pizza to owning the business. Like others attending college, Tyler worked summers to help off-set expenses by making pizzas in a family-owned Bartonville business called Terry's Pizza. A couple of years later, Tyler returned to Terry's Pizza as manager. In 1986, Tyler bought the business and subsequently renamed it Tyroni's, a nickname his in-laws created by eliding Tyler and pepperoni. Today Tyroni's Italian Cafe is one of greater Peoria's favorite dining spots. We appreciate our Senior Citizens 62 and older ~ 10% discount... Dine-In only, alcohol not included. From our family to yours, we'll serve you the best Italian food. We make every item to order - please tell us how you like it. Thanks for visiting!
The Nature Conservancy Emiquon Preserve
The Emiquon Preserve, also known as the "Jewel of the Illinois River," is aptly named for its abundance of wetlands and wildlife. The sheer biological diversity made it the natural place for Native Americans to settle long ago. In recent years, the land has undergone a restoration returning its natural beauty for all to enjoy once again.
The Ironstone Room
Willett's Winery & Cellar is thrilled to announce the opening of their restaurant, The Ironstone Room. Executive Chef Kevin Roecker is planning quite a culinary experience. Ironstone China is a type of stoneware introduced in England in the early 1800's by potters using the country's ironstone to develop a porcelain-like china that could be mass produced. Eventually, Ironstone China was exported primarily to the United States between about 1840 and 1890. Dan's mother, Elsie Willett, has been a collector of Ironstone China for many years. Her collection will be displayed in the Ironstone Room of Willett's Winery & Cellar. Our menu changes seasonally, and offers suggested wine pairings from our winery.

To say the least, Kamron Karington's start in the pizza business was inauspicious. His early days as owner saw him scramble to learn to make pizza, his mixer go kaput and some of his employees quit.
Dave Ostrander's learning curve was equally steep and lasted years into his career as an owner. His business was running pretty well, but he couldn't call on anyone to teach him how to make it hum, so "I wound up learning everything by mistake."
The Cliff's Notes versions of their stories have happy endings as both eventually built and sold successful pizza companies. Now their careers center on sharing the secrets they learned — the very shortcuts they wished they'd known when they started — which they'll do at the Pizza Operators Workshop, set for Feb. 18 in Columbus, Ohio. The third-annual event is a daylong, two-track seminar designed for pizza novices and experienced operators looking grow their businesses. The workshop precedes the 2006 North America Pizza & Ice Cream Show, held Feb. 19-20.
Known in the industry as "Big Dave," Ostrander jokingly called the workshop a "bring your own apron party," since some segments of the beginner's track will involve hands-on work with food. But he
NAPICS Pizza Operators Workshop
"If you're a new operator or you've been in the business for less than a year, you're probably in what I call the 'EO' mode, the employee-owner mode," said Ostrander, describing operators who work long hours and run every aspect of their businesses. "For people who've been doing this a while, we're going to talk about leaving the EO mode and promoting yourself to CEO."
Experience is an excellent teacher, Karington said, but it's the best teacher when it's someone else's experience.
"The quickest way to chop a decade off your learning curve is to sit down and listen to somebody who's been down the path you're about to take," he said. After selling his four-unit pizza company several years ago, he became a full-time marketing consultant and penned the "Black Book of Pizzeria Marketing." "If you want to get to the short cut, you've got to sit down with people who've already blazed this trail. You've got to get out of your operation and be with people who know what you're going through."
One workshop, two tracks
For operators ready to open their own pizzerias or who've been in the business for less than 18 months, Ostrander, Karington and dough expert Tom "The Dough Doctor" Lehmann will lead a Business Basics track. Included in this segment is detailed discussion led by Ostrander on what's necessary to get started, operational tips for making your pizzeria run smoothly and how to market a new business. Lehmann and Ostrander will spend nearly two hours with attendees in a full-functioning pizza test kitchen working with real product. If you've got dough woes, bring them all, Lehmann said.
"I'll be showing them little cheaters, as I like to call them, to help them handle heavy crunch periods until they improve their dough-handling techniques," said Lehmann, a director at the American Institute of Baking in Manhattan, Kan. "I'll also discuss dough-mixing techniques and various problems that are encountered in start-up operations. Some of those problems include getting different sized pizzas to bake consistently, things veterans have overcome."
Following the test kitchen, Karington will teach operators how to market their businesses.
"Maybe you're running a good operation already and you've got making pizza down, but there's no business coming in," he said. "Well, you're probably not connecting with the customers in your trade area. So we're going to go over the four major steps you have to address to persuade someone to try you out the first time."
The second track, Taking Your Business to the Next Level, will begin with Karington teaching in-depth marketing plans and tactics to "steal customers from your competitors." Speaking like a military commander, Karington said he will teach operators how to combine their advertising and marketing efforts "into a swift, blinding, violent campaign. If you're going to attack a competitor, you'd better come in by air, land and sea and cold-cock them. We're going to talk about how to do that."
Lehmann said he'll talk to operators in this track about menu expansion. The opportunity to add items like focaccia and calzone to a menu represents a chance to add variety for new sales opportunities.
Ostrander will instruct operators on the very thing he wished he'd learned much earlier in his career as owner of Big Dave's Pizza: how to let the business work for him and how to hire the right people to help make that happen.
"This is going to focus on maximizing profits and creating lines at their doors, the very things that will give them the freedom to get out of their
Read related NAPICS stories
Throughout the "Next Level" track, seven pizza operator experts will be on hand to answer in-depth questions and facilitate small-group discussions. Karington called the chance to sit and talk at length with other operators who are still in the business an unrivaled opportunity.
"I guarantee there's not a question that you've got that can't be answered in that room, because you're going to find somebody there who has that issue down cold," said Karington. "You're going to be meeting with peers, with people who've had blazing success, but who also know what it's like to make mistakes and overcome them."

Good Questions: Comfy Recliner with a Small Footprint?
Where could I get a small but very comfortable chair for my studio apartment, preferably a recliner? Are there any well-designed recliners?
We visited this question almost three years ago: Good Questions: Stylish Recliners? And AT:Chicago has posted a roundup of modern recliners within the last year.
Personally, I'm very pleased with my Flight Recliner from Design Within Reach (also seen here) — my only regret is that I didn't get the leather upholstery. It has a very small and narrow footprint. Who else has advice about small scaled and comfortable recliners?

The Mississippi House of Representatives voted Friday to uphold Gov. Ronnie Musgrove's veto of a budget bill, leaving lawmakers to search for ways to fund the $3.6 billion spending plan for the year starting July 1.
The House vote also created a political showdown with the Senate, which had refused hours earlier to accept a budget compromise agreed to by Musgrove and House leaders.
Lawmakers were hoping to end their three-month session Friday, but the budget impasse will keep the House and Senate at the Capitol at least into the weekend.

At YBC, we are committed to properly designing timber bridges for every individual crossing in any environment, even remote areas. We offer four span types that can be modified according to terrain, budget and aesthetic requirements of each individual project.
1. Pile-supported
Pile-supported structures are supported by timber piling at regular intervals (typically 10 to 16 feet on center). A pile-supported structure can be built to any length and virtually any height.
(Click on the gallery to the left to view samples.)
2. Glulaminated Free Span
Glulaminated bridges can typically span 30 to 80 feet and up to 110 feet. This makes a glulaminated free span design the ideal choice for road overpasses, bridging steep ravines and creating a crossing where pile foundations would be prohibited.
(Click on the gallery to the left to view samples.)
3. Timber Free Span
Timber free span bridges can span up to 30 feet. A Timber free span is generally used to span a creek or other relatively small crossings. Timber free spans are both cost-effective solutions and great alternatives to unattractive culverts.
(Click on the gallery to the left to view samples.)
4. Combination
Combining pile-supported and free span sections create a unique crossing that may be an effective solution. One of our Bridge Building Consultants can review the site to recommend the length, location and number of free span sections that will be combined with pile supported sections to create the best solution for each project.

Top Chef Masters: Fast Food
May 04, 2011 09:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Bravo's Top Chef Masters is back tonight with a brand new episode in which Curtis Stone issued the contestants another culinary challenge that was near and dear to his heart. Keep reading for all the details!
On tonight's episode of Top Chef Masters, we saw what looked like a fast and casual theme, which rings near and dear to Curtis Stone, who just finished up on America's Next Great Restaurant in which it was fast, casual, dining. For the quickfire challenge this week, the chefs to choose from a table filled with ingredients, all marked with prices and create an appetizer for under one dollar – yes, a buck! Talk about a tough challenge! Joining Curtis this week to judge the quickfire were Brendan Newnam and Rico Galiano of "The Dinner Party Download".
It was interesting to see what some of the chefs did manage to create though, such as Celina's spicy carrot soup, Mary Sue's BLT salad and Naomi's asparagus bread salad – she was trying to go with more bang for your buck. The other dishes created for under a dollar in the challenge were a Lyonnaise salad made by Hugh; a spiced squid from Alex; grilled calamari salad done by George; chicken paillard by Traci and shrimp with asparagus made by Floyd.
The judges did not like the grilled calamari as it was bland and they hoped it would have been kicked up a notch as well as the BLT salad in which they claimed was too salty. Their favorites were the carrot soup, the spiced squid and the bread salad. It was Naomi's bread and asparagus salad that won them over, earning her the win as well as immunity and $5k for her charity, Seed Savers Exchange.
But the fast food concept did not end there. For their main dish challenge, the contestants were sent to shop blind, only being told that they would need to feed 100 people and they would not be using utensils. After they finished their shopping, Curtis met them at a local fast food restaurant where it then became clear what kind of food they would be cooking – fast food! With that now in mind, we watched as some of the chefs re-thought their dishes while others did not and stuck with their original ideas.
The chefs were split into two groups, who each took turns cooking and running the restaurant, as well as a drive through. Naomi who had immunity to decided to tackle the drive though and when the dining room became backed up, she removed her headset and started to help out there. That proved to be a big mistake as Curtis and Danielle showed up at the drive through and had to wait quite a few moments for her to get that headset back to take their orders. This group actually did not do a bad job, but when they traded places it went downhill fast.
As they switched, the diners began to flow in and orders started to back up. Celina could not get a grip on giving out the orders to the chefs who were cooking while Hugh spent way too much time mingling from the cash register. When the judges pulled up to the drive through this time, they waited longer than they did the last but eventually got all their food. The judges were pleasantly surprised at how some of the chefs adapted their dishes to fit into the fast food environment, but sadly not everyone did.
When it came time to taste and judge the dishes, the winner of the challenge was Mary Sue who just happened to have a fryer handy to fry up some fritters that the judges just adored, giving her $10k for her charity, Share our strength which prevent childhood hunger. But there were some bad dishes as well including Alex' fish taco was "too sweet" and they were disappointed that he did not fry the fish first. Celina was also in the bottom for her "wrap" that was laid out like a pancake and not fast food friendly. Ultimately though it was George's pork kabobs that were the biggest disappointed due to their lack of imagination, flavor or even sauce on the side thus sending George Mendes home this week!
Then be sure to tune next week at 10 pm EST on Bravo for a brand new episode of Top Chef Masters!

We're all too busy to be losing sleep. Sometimes we forget how to unwind and relax. Sleep experts say 7–9 hours is optimal for the average adult, yet so many of us struggle with how to get a better night's sleep. Here are a few tips to battle tossing and turning at night:
Drink water.
Water remedies dehydration, which can keep you from a full night's sleep. It's a natural remedy for headache and fatigue and there's no sugar crash from pure water. Here's a well-kept secret: water has zero calories. It's also an appetite suppressant, which makes it worth negative calories in my book. Gain healthier skin and remove toxins. Drink at least two liters a day, but avoid drinking water or other fluids one hour before you go to sleep.
Chew gum.
You know you're not supposed to eat an hour before bed, right? Picture this: reaching for gum instead of _____. Gum fights cravings and saves you from that high calorie snack. Different gums have varying levels of oral health improvement and cavity-fighting qualities. It's been proven to reduce stress, increase concentration and improve digestion. You don't have to take my word for it; you can read more from the experts at the Wrigley Science Institute. I can tell you from personal experience, I quit smoking by reaching for regular chewing gum, and have never even tried a nicotine gum.
Clean up that inbox.
All those unopened emails are nagging. You'll sleep better if you unsubscribe! We all sign up for email deals, but sometimes we go a little crazy when we're at the mall, and the shops are handing out ten percent off coupons for every email address. Don't stay on email lists that aren't helping you. If you're still receiving a weekly newsletter from that store you bought one Christmas gift from two years ago, I'd say it's A-Okay to click "safe unsubscribe." If you click "spam," these emails just go to the junk folder and continue to go there, so not really "problem solved." Along with the spam folder, some email programs have filters, and I recommend them highly! Filters, after deletion, are your best defense when cutting back on inbox clutter. If you have a filter, you can have emails sorted into folders by sender; I have one just for coffee coupons, and another for e-bills.
Learn to sew a stitch or two.
Watching television or browsing the web before bed can stimulate the mind, rather than relax it. For a better night's sleep, I learned a couple of stitches. Knowing how to sew proves useful in emergencies and saves $10-$20 for hemming at the dry cleaners. I tailor my clothes with just two types of stitches: a straight stitch and a blind hem stitch. There are countless crafters blogging about sewing tips, and it might surprise you to know you can find more sewing tips from some very skilled fashionistas on YouTube. If you're lucky enough to own a sewing machine, brush the dust off and relearn what those funny squiggles on the dial mean.
I had a gym membership once. I think I went twice, and I still think about what I would've done with that money. Expert opinions vary on whether you should exercise daily, or 2–3 times a week, but they all agree it's important for sleep. The goal is to increase your physical activity during the day so that you aren't full of energy at night. With the New Year on its way, I want to stop you from adding "join a gym" to your resolutions. I purchased my own exercise bike from a Goodwill store last summer, and life has been grand. Maybe for you it's not the exercise bike…maybe it's the weight bench, the stair master, or the leg press. Money spent each month, plus registration fees, plus gas, equals the equipment I actually use and own in my home! By working out at home I can adjust the thermostat, use my own shower, and stay as long as I like. I have a fun collection of old DVDs for aerobics and Pilates, and I have some favorite yoga picks on Hulu.com. If you're lucky enough to set up a room or a corner, think of it as a way to escape. How much time do you really get to spend at home anyway? Pick a time to exercise that's well before your last meal of the day (which should be at least an hour or two from bed time).
Do the math.
No one likes the "b" word. You can do the math, know your monthly bills, monthly income, and still not have a budget. I would guess this is the most popular cause of insomnia. My leap toward having a budget involved Mint.com. I can see pie charts and bar graphs all about my expenses and income. I can see my track record for how many mocha frappés I buy per month. It's like having my own accountant. I can even set up email alerts to know when I've had one mocha too many – you can set budgets for almost anything! I never set up what I'd call a real budget, but I can go to bed with a smile knowing the true price range of my wallet-safe shopping spree.
We don't give much credit to sleep – we try to avoid it, we fight it off with sugar and caffeine, but there is no way to imitate the refreshed feeling you get when you wake up from a full night's rest.
Do you have any tips on how to get a better night's sleep? Share them with us!

It might seem like a letdown for a group like The Kooks to tour the United States.
The band is a major headliner in the U.K., playing prestigious festivals and arenas in that country, where its two albums, Inside In/Inside Out and Konk, have been million-selling hits. But stateside, The Kooks are playing clubs.
Kooks guitarist, Hugh Harris, doesn't sound at all bothered about playing clubs in the states, where the Kooks have yet to make major waves on the charts.
"(Touring) again in America is actually quite refreshing," Harris said says in a recent phone interview. "You go back to basics again. You get reminded what it was like starting off in the U.K. And so that's exciting.
"Obviously the rooms are smaller and the crowds are smaller, but it makes no difference," he continues. "It's still people with ears on their faces. We're still going to play our music for the people who are turning up for our shows, and we're going to keep coming back. That's what it's all about."
It's also possible Harris and his bandmates — singer Luke Pritchard, drummer Paul Garred and new bassist Dan Logan (replacing Max Rafferty) — don't mind getting away for a bit from the fanfare that surrounds the band back in England.
While the band has been embraced in some quarters, The Kooks have experienced a fair share of jabs in the British music press and even some outright controversy.
"We've actually had a bit of a rough time with the media in England," Harris says, summing up the situation with what appeared to be some intentional understatement.
For starters, around the time that the band's 2006 debut was recorded, singer Pritchard was dating Pop singer Katie Melua. That relationship became a regular topic of coverage and speculation — much to the annoyance of Pritchard and his bandmates.
Some writers viewed The Kooks as having had a privileged upbringing since the three original members attended private schools and the band itself came together at England's Brighton Institute of Music.
Some critics used the lack of dues-paying struggle
as ammunition to attack the group's musical credibility.
The fact that some other British bands took swipes at The Kooks also generated plenty of column inches. Perhaps the most famous taunt came from Kasabian, which ridiculed The Kooks for writing songs for girls.
The British press also got plenty of mileage out of some seemingly haughty statements from Pritchard. He's been quoted as saying he always believed The Kooks would be big stars. In another statement that might have been taken more seriously than intended, Pritchard said that as a songwriter, he's a hit machine.
"I just roll 'em out. I'm a one-man hit factory," he told the British newspaper, The Guardian.
idea that Pritchard and the rest of the band have over-inflated egos is
particularly irksome to Harris.
"That's sort of focusing on a very small part of what Luke talks about. And that's what the press in the U.K. started doing," Harris says. "Luke's not an arrogant guy. We're not an arrogant band. It's just everyone (who does this) wants to be successful. Everyone, when you start playing music, you want your music to be heard by as many people as possible, otherwise why are you playing it?"
But plenty of critics apparently see The Kooks as overly
ambitious, and Pritchard took plenty of flack when, prior to its
release, he described the band's recently released second CD, Konk, as
a "Pop" album, a term that at least in Indie circles translates into
selling out by writing superficial hit-worthy songs.
Harris found the critical barbs about Konk being too much like Inside In/Inside Out to be particularly off base.
"The thing is we didn't want
to change (musically)," Harris said. "Why would we fucking want to
change? We like playing Pop music, and we just wanted to capture the
vibe of four dudes in a room having a good time. I don't know why a lot
of critics expect you to sort of change and adapt and I think if we had
gone completely experimental, we would have gotten absolutely (slammed)
for it because it would have been false."
The Pop appeal of Konk is undeniable. Most of the songs at least offer breezy melodic hooks that are easy on the ears. And several songs, including "See The Sun," "Always Where I Need To Be" and "Stormy Weather," boast clever twists in the vocal melodies and guitar riffs that have always characterized the best of Beatles-rooted Pop music.
The cheery mood of the album seems to reflect the atmosphere that existed when The Kooks and producer Ton Hoffer recorded the CD at the Konk studio, the London facility owned by Kinks frontman Ray Davies.
"It was a live room," Harris says. "It's got an incredible vibe to it. It's got an incredible feel to it, as a studio. It's one of the best in London. The equipment in there, it's old, but it's good quality. And it wasn't a tourist attraction like Abbey Road. It was just a very soulful studio that hadn't been used in awhile."
Fans who see the Kooks on tour this fall can expect to hear songs from both albums. Harris said it's nice to have more than enough songs to fill a set.
"We have a lot more material now, so that's a good thing," Harris says. "A lot of people sort of know the tunes off of the second record by now. So we've got a lot more to play."�
THE KOOKS play Bogart's Sunday with The Whigs.

The Union Budget for Fiscal Year 2015 would be the first non-Congress Budget after more than a decade. On one hand people are expecting this budget to be corporate-friendly as well as focused on reforms for the common man, and on the other hand the global and domestic investors are looking for a boost from the government through appropriate fiscal policy announcements. The steps already taken by the Government, such as increase in railways tariffs, are an indication of walking the path of fiscal prudence instead of populist measures and linking them in terms of fulfillment of economic objective.
If the first set of recommendations of Tax Administration Reform Commission is implemented soon, it can have a major impact on the way the industry and the common man perceive the tax administration in India.
· The threshold limit for individual Income Tax exemption will be increased from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh with a tax rate of 10% for individuals earning up to Rs. 10 lakhs.
· There will be an increase in the threshold limit for exemption in investments under section 80C to Rs. 2.5/ Rs. 3 lakhs from Rs 1 lakh, which is the current threshold since long time.
· The retrospective tax legislation, the law that refers to taxing capital gain on direct/indirect transfer of capital assets, will be reformed to gain international investors confidence in India.
· The government will move towards implementation of GST and DTC. While these will not be possible in this Budget a roadmap for fiscal consolidation is likely to provide the market clues
Tax deduction policy under Rajiv Gandhi Equity Scheme (RGESS) needs to be revamped and made applicable to all new investments for any investor rather than only to first time investors (in equity markets) having annual income of not more than Rs 10 lakhs.
To increase market participation and attract more investments, Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on delivery transactions needs to be reduced from current rate of 0.1% and kept at par with options transactions. Moreover, tax incentives on either the investments in debt or returns will help to boost and turn around the investment cycle.
Insurance & Banking:
The budget is expected to provide more incentive to financial savings which in turn positively impact banking sector, insurance companies, asset management companies and capital markets. Regulators of pensions and insurance could be advised to prepare a

I am 6'4", 265 lbs - football player size - I am having trouble getting a frame. Hope someone can provide some professional viewpoints!
I loved riding the Colnago Master X-Light (steel frame) over all others I test rode including titanium. (Ti has too much flex) I was told 64cm is my size with a 59.7 top tube & 180mm crank arm. Yet, Leonard Zinn who specializes in tall guy custom bikes says I need a 62.5 top tube and 190cm crank arm. Another dealer says I need 6.0 top tube and 65cm frame (for Master X-light)
I have experienced heavy bike vibration going down hills at 40 MPH on earlier steel framed bike which Zinn says his frames handle.
Height: 6'4" (76")
Inseam: 35 1/8"
Floor to Sternum: 62"
Arm Length: 24 3/4"
Torso: 26 3/8"
Shoe: 13 USA size or 47/48 Euro size.
Very good flexibility.
There are many salesman out there with conflicting advice! It is difficult to know what is right until you test ride it and that is almost impossible due to the limited availability of frames in my size.
Can anyone please take a couple of minutes and shed some light on this matter?

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots.
But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election.
That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts.
For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008.
If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there.
This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census.
Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said.
The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said.
Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat.
Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo.

The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt
by Elizabeth Payne
No current Talk conversations about this book.
After ancient Egypt was destroyed, the hieroglyphics were lost and destroyed as well. The book then talks about how people are finding the hieroglyphics and putting them together to see what they were saying back then. The setting is important because in today's world there are no hieroglyphics.
For homeschool study - this is our second pass through Ancient Egypt. Our history is read-aloud. Both my 12 and 15 year olds enjoyed this story, where you are provided a more in-depth journey along the timeline of the god- kings. Although this is listed as grade 6 and up, it might be more engaging to the older student - certainly as a read-aloud. It is also a great resource for any adult wishing to learn more about the Pharoahs and their stories. Mrs. Payne details the foreign invasions and the Pharaohs who were not of Egyptian origin. Interesting story about King Tut and his name change as well ! Interesting too was the belief that the resurrection of their god-king aka Pharaoh was their key to everlasting life!
Positives - maps are well done
Negative - a timeline would have been helpful.
We have watched the BBC Egypt (Ferdinand Felix - Director) series for fun - it's also a good supplement.
Another excellent recommendation by Carole Joy Seid. Landmark books tend to be keepers!
Reason for Reading: Read aloud to my son as part of our homeschooling studies.
This is my second time reading this aloud, as I read it about ten years ago to my eldest son and knew it was a winner. The book is written in a narrative storyteller voice with many anecdotes and amusing stories which make the history fun and interesting. The book starts with the modern day (1700s) rediscovery of ancient Egypt and the archaeological finds and public interest in this civilization which so little was known about at that time. Thus as the Rosetta Stone was found, the hieroglyphs translated and the language of the ancients opened up to researchers, the whole history began to unravel as archaeologists made discovery after discovery. The book then briefly goes chronologically through Ancient Egyptian history via its major Pharaohs and Dynasties stopping for greater detail on some of the more well-known and/or important ones. Starting with Menes and ending with Ramses II delightful portrayals of each Pharaoh and his times are given. My son was most eagerly involved in the story of Thutmose III, because of his warrior empire-expanding reign, secondly he was fascinated with Akenaton (as I myself am) because of the drastic changes he brought about and forced upon his people. These could have been good changes but unfortunately were detrimental to the empire as it was the beginning of the end of the powerful rule Egypt had once had.
The entire book is engaging, filled with so much information. We read half a chapter a school day, except for two very long chapters I split into three readings. Since most of the information is ancient history the book is not out-dated at all. Of course, modern findings are not mentioned. The picture of King Tut's death mask on this cover is misleading as he is only briefly mentioned in passing with Carter's finding of his tomb and his place in the order of Pharaohs. None of the past controversy surrounding his death or curses, etc. is even mentioned so that did not become an issue at all. The book is recommended for ages 9-12 and I think it is best suited for the upper end of that age range. Both my boys were 11/12 when I read it to them and the reading level is certainly Gr. 5/6. The book is in no way not suitable for older high school students. I'd even recommend it to adults wanting a crash course on the rise and fall of the Egyptian empire. A staple when studying Ancient Egypt. Recommended!
It is a Landmark Book that covers Ancient Egypt thoroughly for a middle school age child. It is an advanced reader.
This book gives a good overview of the Pharaohs and historical highlights of Ancient Egypt. It includes some good b&w photos of architectural finds. There were occasions when the text was a little too opinionated, relying on conjecture, ("They seemed scarcely more human than the wild animals they so feared.") but for the most part seems to do a good job of teaching about Egypt.

also lost. The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt explains how archaeologists have pieced together their discoveries to slowly reveal the history of Egypt's people, its pharaohs, and its golden days.

Yeah, I was thinking about it more, and the initial delay is due to communication from the client to the server and back again. The skill starts flashing as soon as the button is pressed, but the skill doesn't activate until the server tells the client that it activated. When the game was first released and the starting areas were all extremely crowded, it was not uncommon to press the skill button and have it flashing for several seconds before the skill activated due to the lag.
So i redid all the cast times for Eles with my new method. Before i would chain 5 skills and the cast time would be way faster than what i had. Now the cast time is perfect so i guess it's correct. Thanks for the info.

CHENNAI: The BJP today demanded that the UPA government take the strongest possible action against writer activist Arundhati Roy for her "seditious" remarks on Kashmir and asked the Centre to spell out its policy vis-a-vis Kashmir and the separatists.
"When there is an elected government in Kashmir as the result of free and fair elections, how can someone say the state is not an integral part of India? Its nothing but sedition," senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said.
