An underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism tends to affect older men and women, and is more likely to affect women than it is men.
Although the condition is not always serious (in that it leads to chronic or fatal illnesses) it can have a massive impact on the quality of your life.
The NHS says: "If it is not treated, an underactive thyroid can lead to complications, including swelling of the thyroid (a condition called goitre), heart disease, mental health problems and infertility."
1 in 20 people will have a thyroid condition, says the British Thyroid Foundation, so it's important to recognise the symptoms and get help for it.
"An underactive thyroid means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough thyroid hormone (thyroxine) for your body's needs," says Gwen Collins, chief nurse at Bupa. "There are many symptoms of underactive thyroid, but tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed are common signs. Other symptoms include feeling the cold easily, dry or pale skin, and brittle hair and nails.
The thyroid gland is found in the neck. It produces hormones that are released into the bloodstream to control the body's growth and metabolism. These hormones are called thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
They affect processes such as heart rate and body temperature, and help convert food into energy to keep the body going.
Julia Priestley, development officer at the British Thyroid Foundation adds: "Typical symptoms are fatigue or tiredness, sensitivity to the cold, physical and mental slowness (some people describe this as a "brain fog"), dry skin and hair, low mood or depression and sometimes fertility problems."
How To Tell If You Have A Thyroid Disorder: Fatigue, Weight Gain And Other Symptoms To Look Out For
What Is An Overactive Thyroid?: Causes, Symptoms And Treatments Explained
What is an underactive thyroid caused by? "The causes are either because the immune system is attacking your thyroid gland or a damaged thyroid," says Gwen. "Autoimmune thyroiditis, or Hashimoto's disease, is a common type of autoimmune reaction that causes an underactive thyroid."
Because some of the symptoms for an underactive thyroid are similar to other conditions, it can be frightening not knowing what's happening, if an episode does take place. Loose Women star Sherrie Hewson spoke to The Daily Mail about her frightening experience, saying that she was "overcome with lethargy" while out walking her dog.
"It happened out of nowhere - as if someone had pulled the plug on me,' she recalls. "One moment I was enjoying my walk near Conway, where I was living at the time, and the next I felt like all the strength was leaking out of me. I was as weak as a kitten. I had pains in my arms and they felt like lead. I was terrified. I just assumed in my panic that I was having a heart attack."
Thyroxine is a hormone (body chemical) made by the thyroid gland in the neck. It is carried round the body in the bloodstream. It helps to keep the body's functions (the metabolism) working at the correct pace. Many cells and tissues in the body need thyroxine to keep them going correctly.

Story continues below the slideshow:
Carpal tunnel syndrome, says the NHS, is a relatively common condition that causes pain, numbness and a tingling sensation in the hand and fingers. "Usually, these sensations develop gradually and start off being worse during the night. They tend to affect the thumb, index finger, middle finger and half of the ring finger."
Thyroid UK also has advice on how to bring your diet in line with the condition, and foods you may wan to eat in moderation. "Goitrogenic foods can act like an anti-thyroid drug in disabling the thyroid function. They prevent the thyroid from using available iodine. Coffee may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption."
These foods are:
- brussel sprouts, swede, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage and kale
- almonds, peanuts and walnuts
- sweetcorn, sorghum and millet
- soya
If you are concerned, you should make an appointment to see your GP and ask to be tested. What are the treatments available if you do happen to have it?
Most likely, as Sherrie found out, you will need treatment for life, probably hormone-replacement tablets, called levothyroxine, will raise your thyroxine levels. Gwen adds: "If you do have an underactive thyroid, your doctor may prescribe you hormone-replacement medicine. This helps return your levels of thyroid hormones to normal. However, if your symptoms are mild, you might not have to take any medicine, but your doctor will keep a close eye on your hormone levels in case you need to start."

Wishing you and yours…
…a happy new year!
- The Tablescaper
Welcome to Seasonal Sundays!
I love this time of year.
Everyone looks back on the year,…
…and all of the posts they've created.
It's so fun to highlight…
…your favorite posts from the past year (you can click on any of the photos and they'll take you to the complete post).
It's neat to revisit my favorites…
…from throughout the year, but…
…sometimes it's hard to choose.
Blog land affords us the ability to celebrate the same event..
…in different ways.
The celebration of my big 5-0!
A manly birthday for my son, steak with all the trimmings.
The clustering of some of my tea cup collection.
The temperature starts to warm and we're under the sea,…
…and enjoying the green of Spring.
Before you know it, it's time to relish in the beauty of Summer!
Celebrate all of those patriotic holidays!
Have a tropical delight.
Or perhaps a Nantucket visit.
Staying cool…
…by the pool.
But always make time for friends,…
…as Fall lingers in.
A magical Halloween…
and Fall…
…in all it's splendor…
…reminds us to pause and give thanks.
And finally, the most blessed season of all…
…the celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus.
I truly hope that you and your family have had a wondrous year. It's had its ups and down. Sandy dealt quite the blow to our area and people are still working their way out, but through it all we must have faith.
Happy New Year! Who know what's in store for us now!!!
Note: Trying something new with the linking. Let me know your thoughts.
- The Tablescaper
Welcome to The Tablescaper.
It's a season of celebrating.
We celebrate Christmas Eve,…
Christmas Day,…
…New Year's Eve, and…
…New Year's Day.
Our celebration started with cheese and crackers, crudité and shrimp cocktail.
Followed by a first course of sushi.The snowflake plates were for the soy sauce (from Michaels).
The clear glass plates with the snow flakes (from Ikea) held the sushi.
The dinner plates were my Mother-in-law's. So great to have them be a part of our celebration. They held twice baked potatoes, asparagus, filet mignon and lobster. The lacy chargers reminded me of snowflakes (Ikea).
The little bowls (Ikea) held the warm melted butter to dip the lobster in.
Some had the design on the outside and some on the inside.
A snowflake held each person's place
Along with a bit of sparkle at their chair.
As well as a snowflake to hold your napkin (napkins and napkin rings from C Wonder).
And of course a cracker to complete the celebration.
We celebrate many different things…
…at this time of the year.
and each have a bit of sparkle!
Hope that you're enjoying…
…every bit of the season.
Can't wait to hear about your celebrations!
Tip: Celebrate the holidays! No matter what the day, celebrate the day! There is much to be celebrated.
I'm partying at: Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen's;Yvonne at Stone Gable for Tutorials, Tips and Tidbits; Katherine of Katherine's Corner for Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop; The Style Sisters for Centerpiece Wednesday; Kathy of A Delightsome Life for Home and Garden Thursday;Sheri at The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home; Susan at Between the Naps for Tablescape Thursday;Courtney of French Country Cottage for Feather Your Nest Friday; Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

in this region?"
"When reviewing the real estate market in 2012 for the Lake Norman region, closed sales were up 21.9 percent over 2011, and pending sales increased 33.4 percent. Last year saw a decrease in the number of homes on the market and an increase in sales prices. This kind of tightening in the market historically propels home values, and sure enough, we're beginning to see long-awaited appreciation: The Lake Norman market showed a 6.3-percent increase in the median sales price for 2012.
What this means for the Lake Norman market is, since pending sales are generally good indicators, recent strong numbers for pending sales suggest sales should remain strong in 2013. Add to that appreciation in values, decreasing inventory, and continued low interest rates and you get a climate in which prospective sellers may be motivated to come out of hibernation, and hesitant buyers to get off the fence. 2013 just may bring with it the market conditions everyone has been waiting for."
– Abigail Jennings, president of Lake Norman Realty
"I have been watching the market during 2012 and have seen the traffic and sales get a bit better every month, and from all indications, 2013 looks like "the beginning" of the rebound. We still have a long way to go and may never reach the 2004-07 levels, but I think the bottom has been reached and the future looks bright.
Sales activity is up, but prices have not started back yet. The recipe for getting a house sold today is the same as in the past few years: Price the house correctly, have it properly staged and market it professionally.
If those three things are accomplished, then the goal of finding a buyer is mostly done. The market is getting better and I believe it will continue to improve and give us opportunities, but we as agents must have the knowledge, spend the time necessary and give 100 percent quality service to our clients!
Do I see 2013 as a rebounding year? Definitely, the answer is 'yes!'"

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (M&M Ltd) today announced that it would be raising the prices of its passenger and commercial vehicles by up to 2%. This increase would be effective January 1, 2014.
The price increase is primarily due to rising materials, input and higher freight costs, the company said in a statement.
Commenting on the price hike, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, We have been holding back prices for a while but now it has become necessary to raise them to partly compensate the increase in materials, input and freight costs."
Leading car makers Maruti Suzuki India, Hyundai and Tata Motors had already announced hike in prices of their products from January, joining the likes of Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Honda.

Soledad, city, Atlántico departamento, northwestern Colombia. It lies 18 miles (30 km) upstream from the mouth of the Magdalena River. It was founded in 1640, and much of its development during the colonial era was due to its proximity to Barranquilla, 3 miles (5 km) to the north. Soledad became a local commercial and manufacturing centre; in response to the growth of Barranquilla, it has also industrialized. The city is accessible by highway and contains the international jet airport that serves Barranquilla. Pop. (2007 est.) 502,736.

Each year, through collaboration and innovation, IFEX finds creative ways to raise awareness of free expression issues, strengthen the power of our network, and bring about real change through targeted campaigns and advocacy work. 2014 featured many events and milestones for the IFEX network – we've chosen five for special mention here. To learn more, you can search this site or contact us directly at info (@) ifex.org.
Exclusive hearing at the Organization of American States
In March, the Organization of American States granted IFEX-ALC, the regional alliance of IFEX members in Latin America and the Caribbean, an exclusive hearing on the topic of impunity. This was the network's first formal intervention on impunity at the Inter American System on Human Rights, and included the presentation of their regional analysis of impunity and the right to freedom of expression and recommendations, which was welcomed by the commissioners.
Voices united in support of a human rights defender
On 24 May, our colleague Nabeel Rajab, human rights activist and president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR), was released after completing a two-year prison sentence. IFEX united with other organisations in a 10-day countdown campaign, widely promoted over social media, demanding that the Bahraini authorities honour the release date. In a thank you letter, Nabeel expressed his appreciation for the work of the IFEX network on his behalf. IFEX also supported BCHR's advocacy at the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in June, which was followed by the release of a joint statement on Bahrain by 47 UN member states, including the United States and the United Kingdom, strongly condemning the harassment and imprisonment of persons exercising their rights to free expression.
Right to information in Africa: A Game-Changing Report
In September, IFEX member Africa Freedom of Information Centre (AFIC) released an extensively researched report: The State of Right to Information in Africa. It's had a big impact; Mozambique has adopted some of its recommendations, including a right to information law, and Uganda and Malawi have indicated they will implement the report's recommendations. AFIC successfully lobbied members of the United Nations Human Rights Council when Angola was undergoing a periodic review, urging the Angolan government to amend and strengthen the country's freedom of information law and promote citizens' rights to information. The report is also being used as an educational and advocacy tool, and it sparked the idea of a 3-part IFEX podcast series on the critical issue of access to information in Africa.
Targeting Impunity and holding governments to account
On 2 November, the first ever UN International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists was held, offering an opportunity for IFEX and scores of individual member organisations to shine a spotlight on an issue that has such a devastating impact on the right to freedom of expression and information around the world. We created an infographic and other resources to help broaden awareness of some specific UN mechanisms designed to combat impunity, and worked as a network to directly lobby governments. The campaign garnered high-level attention and responses from governments, UN Permanent Missions and other UN bodies.
Commemorating a tragedy, demanding justice
On 23 November, to mark the 5th anniversary of the Ampatuan massacre in the Philippines and in collaboration with IFEX members in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region, we sent out a global call to participate in a digital action to "Tweet for Justice". Individuals from all over the world sent messages of solidarity to the families of the 58 victims. Thanks to the pro bono support of the award-winning design team at Juniper Park, their tweets appeared on an interactive "digital wall" at various candlelight vigils held in the Philippines and around the world. With every tweet using #ampatuanmassacre, the projected faces of those killed in the massacre glowed brighter, showing real-time support and outrage worldwide for these unpunished crimes. You can watch a video of the event here.

Parenting Lingo Gets the Oxford Stamp of ApprovalMiriam Axel-Lute
Whenever you're in a specialized subculture, it can feel like the most useful of words take an absurdly long time to reach the pages of the dictionary. And as we all know, parenting is a specialized subculture.
But we're getting there: In the latest redesign of the Oxford English Dictionary and Thesarus, among the 2,000 new words, alongside "flash mob" and "unsubscribe," there are "co-sleeping," "prekindergarten," "C-section," and "homeschooling," each of which seem to me like they must have been in circulation for decades.
Anyone want start a pool to bet on when "nanny cam," "boob nazi," "mommy blogger," and "unschooling" show up?

A traffic collision hospitalized a motorcycle rider and closed part of a busy Riverside street for hours.
The wreck was reported at 5:22 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, in front of a McDonald's restaurant parking lot along University Avenue just east of Eucalyptus Avenue.
Preliminary findings suggested that the eastbound motorcyclist was traveling at high speed and weaving around slower traffic when a westbound motorist in a Nissan Rogue turned left in front of him, said police Traffic Sgt. Ben Shafer.
The rider is a Riverside teenager who was later listed in serious condition at Riverside Community Hospital, Shafter said. The motorist was unharmed.
Shafer estimated that the eastbound traffic lanes of University Avenue would be closed for a one-block stretch between Eucalyptus and Franklin Avenues until about 9 p.m.
Anyone with additional information may call Detective Ken Madsen at 951-826-8723.

In a move seen as "delaying tactics", Reliance Industries has proposed joint studies before an international expert is roped in to decide if its wells on KG-D6 block were drawing gas from neighbouring fields of ONGC.
Reliance Industries (RIL) and Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) had on March 28 agreed to appoint neutral international expert to decide if four wells drilled on boundary of KG-D6 block were drawing gas from neighbouring gas discoveries of the state-owned firm.
The two were to exchange list of international experts at the last meeting on April 15, but Reliance Industries proposed a joint technical team to do more studies before seeking third party help, sources with direct knowledge of the development said.
ONGC, however, believes the issue can be resolved only by engagement of an international expert. Two subsequent meetings proposed on April 28 and May 2 could not take place as Reliance Industries sought deferment.
Another meeting is scheduled for this week, they said.
While ONGC Chairman and Managing Director Dinesh K Sarraf could not be reached for comments, a source close to the company said RIL proposal was "nothing but delaying tactics".
A RIL spokesperson said, "We are engaged in constructive dialogue with ONGC on all matters. The last meeting on the afore-mentioned subject was held just last month."
"Given the geological complexities involved, the matter on hand can perhaps be settled by a third-party expert. We are awaiting the appointment of such an expert and we are confident that the matter will be expeditiously resolved to mutual satisfaction," he added.
Sources said Sarraf had briefed the company board on March 24 about the likelihood of RIL drawing gas from ONGC's G-4 and KG-DWN-98/2 blocks.
ONGC had approached the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) on the matter nine months back with a request to share production and well data of KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 field for analysing if the reservoir of the neighbouring field has same and continuous gas pool.
The company's Godavari Block (known as G-4) and NELP-I discovery block KG-DWN-98/2 are contiguous to RIL-operated NELP-I Block KG-DWN-98/3 (KG-D6).
Sources said ONGC believes KT-1/D-1 gas find in block KG-DWN-98/2 and G-4 Pliocene gas find in Godavari Block extend outside the block boundaries into KG-D6.
ONGC believes that RIL's D6-A5, D6-A9 and D6-A13 wells drilled close to the block boundary may be draining gas from G-4 field of Godavari block while the well D6-B8 may be draining gas from DWN-D-1 field

I had I think about 80% Battery last night and went to sleep. Normally I only get about 5% to 10% drain when I sleep from notifications and things syncing which I am fine with. However I woke up and it was at 20%. I went into the battery settings to see what was draining it and it said Samsung Galaxy 40% stay awake for 5h 37m. and recieved data 130 mb and sent 4.52 mb which I have never seen that come up on the list of things using my battery before, and why would 130mb take 5 hours to recieve. I am attaching a picture as well of my screenshot. I am totally confused. There was no update on my phone ota either. I was on wifi the whole time since I was home.

I cannot believe that Hurley acted the pawn!
Also, the fact that the "rocket" from the ship didn't get to the island until 30 minutes later and the scientist - 1. did not want to go back to the ship (and was adamant about it) and 2. told the pilot to make sure to take the exact same path is FREAKY!
I really like Sayid. He has always been one of my favorite characters. The fact he is one of the Oceanic 6 and is working for Ben is blowing my mind.
I also don't think that Ben is the one in the coffin now or one of the Oceanic 6, but I could still be wrong.
It just gets stranger and stranger doesn't it? I have no idea where it's heading. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
You have to wonder how Ben got off the island AND becomes a power figure; also how he got Sayid to work for him.
Apparently the rescuers, or at least their bosses, are very bad people.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?
I think the person in the casket is not one of the 4 we know that got off the island. You have to wonder who it is by where the visitation was held (not a very nice part of town) and how no one showed up (they don't have any family). I think it might be Juliet.
Make the world a better place, punch a hawkeye in the face
Colorado coach Gary Barnett "I thought we had a pretty good mascot. But when we showed up at Iowa State and they had a real tornado, that's the real deal." November 12, 2005
I think Widmore holds the key. I think he controls this group who is out to get the Ben and the Losties. Whether or not Penny knows of this agenda who knows. Are we to assume the Ben is a vet in the future?
This series just keeps getting better and better! Based on what Ben said to Sayid, it seems like Sayid is helping his friends by killing all these people. Who knows?
Did anyone see at the end where they said Kate had one of the most recognizable faces in the world and it was a news cast or something like that????
Locke is freaking me out more than Ben used to.

Yeah, Locke is losing it. I wonder why the cabin wasnt there. The ring of ash was there, but Locke couldnt see the cabin. Is the cabin the smoke monster as well? What is the ring of ash for? Maybe a line to keep evil spirits inside the ring?
Hurly can see the cabin too, which is strange. I'm just happy to see Sayid kickin *** again.

Reason: Circumventing the language filter
Well, I think as far as the Oceanic 6, we can count on characters who have been focal points.
The bracelet on Nadia was the same as on Elsa I believe.
I almost don't want to discuss it, as there is so much yet to be revealed.
Interesting how Hurley and Kate get off the island as they are now with Locke. The show kind of tricked us by making us think that Hurley was dumped and then ended up with Jack, Kate, etc.
Ben seemed to be wearing the same clothes at the end that are in the picture that the people on the island had.
And what becomes of Desmond?
Yeah, just because Locke doesn't want to leave the island, doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to. I think they should do whatever it takes to get off, even if it means taking Locke out.
I am guessing that not everyone dies on the island, but some just stay...who knows, maybe some will come back after being part of the "Oceanic 6." And BTW, I am kind of annoyed with this Oceanic 6 tag. They can always leave it open, but instead they have this tag for publicity.

I noticed that too!
Yes, the bracelet was the same. Elsa and Naomi were best friends, according to their bracelets, and apparently worked for the same company or corporation. It looks as though Said is taking them out one by one in the future with the help of Ben's "information."

IOWA CITY, Iowa - The nationally ranked Iowa Hawkeyes moved up two positions in the weekly Bowl Championship Series poll to 11th place, one notch below Big Ten Conference peer Ohio State and two slots ahead of league peer Penn State.
Iowa's BCS percentage improved to .524 after its 12-0 victory over Minnesota Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, a victory that gave the Hawkeyes' their seventh 10-win season in school history and fourth under head coach Kirk Ferentz.
Iowa was ranked 13th in the Associated Press and USA Today polls released today.
Florida remained the No. 1 team in all three polls including the BCS. Alabama, Texas, Texas Christian and Boise State rounded out the BCS's top five.
Iowa's ranking in the BCS was boosted by the six computer polls which had the Hawkeyes at No. 10, Ohio State at No. 11 and Penn State at No. 18 - an order that suggests the computers looked favorably on Iowa's strength of schedule and its performance in road games.
The Hawkeyes remain eligible for an at-large invitation to a Bowl Championship Series event. Those invitations will be extended on Sunday, Dec. 6.

Giorgio Gomez, grandson of Jim and Ronee Brady
of West Coast Surf Shop in Holmes Beach, finished second
in the men's standup paddleboard competition at the
28th Annual NKF Rich Salick Pro/Am Surf Festival in
Cocoa Beach on Labor Day weekend.
While Izzi Gomez and Giorgio Gomez were busy surfing towards top awards at a charity surf event over Labor Day weekend, someone was stealing everything out of their car.
The grandchildren of Jim and Ronee Brady of West Coast Surf Shop in Holmes Beach, and their mom, Brandi Brady, were at the 28th Annual National Kidney Foundation Rich Salick Pro/Am Surf Festival in Cocoa Beach when the crime was committed.
But the spirit of the event carried the day.
One of the contestants took to heart Rich's motto, emblazoned on T-shirts worn at the event to memorialize his death last year: "Is it better to be right, or better to be kind?"
Surfer Vanina Walsh gave her check for winning first place in the women's pro stand up paddleboard event to Izzi, who won second place. The gesture embodied the spirit of Rich Salick, who was remembered at the NKF fundraising auction the evening before with a deafening cheer, not a moment of silence.
Izzi also took home first place in open stand up paddleboard and second place in junior women's longboard. Giorgio took home second place in men's pro stand up paddleboard.
And hundreds who watched the kind gesture at the awards ceremony took home a warm summer's end memory.

'Superman' debate: Waiting for the teachers' unions
Among the recent rash of education reform movies to hit our nation's Cineplexes – "The Cartel," "The Lottery" and most recently "Waiting for Superman" – a common thread has been the demonization of the teachers' unions. They have been portrayed as the key stumbling block to badly needed education reform.
The unions seem to be shocked and furious that they are portrayed in such a dismal way and have issued statements and news releases that the films are inaccurate, unfair and out of touch with what really goes on in schools and that the filmmakers are engaging in "teacher bashing" and should "talk to real teachers."
None of the above is true. It is also worth noting that the unions have proposed no real constructive reforms of their own except for the tired old "We need more money" mantra. In fact, the public is no longer buying into the brand of reform that the unions are selling and have come to see that the reformers are on to something.
For example, the public is very much in favor of charter schools – by more than 2-1, according to a survey by the Education Next Program on Education Policy and Governance. Charter schools, which are public schools but without so much of the district and union red tape, are the stars of "Waiting for Superman." Not panaceas, they can be shut down after a few years if the students aren't learning. But most are successful, according to a decade-long study in New York by Carolyn Hoxby, an economic researcher at Stanford. Only about 100 of the nation's 5,000 charter schools are unionized. Hence, teachers' unions don't like them and do their best to make sure there are caps on the number allowed in each state.
While the public has repeatedly shown overwhelming support for charter schools, with other forms of school choice it depends on who and how you ask the question. Vouchers – cash payments to defray the cost of a private school – have become less popular in the last few years, but "tax credits" and "scholarship programs" are looked on with favor. However, African-Americans and Hispanics are much more likely to be in favor of school choice no matter how the question is asked.
The unions fight choice wherever the legislation comes up because private schools are not unionized and, as more and more students leave public education, the union loses money because of a dwindling dues-paying base. The most blatant case of a union wielding its political power was in Washington, D.C., when last year, Congress, after receiving a threat from National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel, dutifully killed off the extremely popular D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, in which some poor kids could escape their failing public schools and go to a private school. This was no backroom threat; it was posted on the NEA website.
Pay for performance? The unions are hidebound by the archaic factory model whereby teachers' salaries are pegged to the number of years they have taught. Teacher quality is of little interest to union bosses. However, the public thinks differently. In a recent poll conducted by Time magazine, 71 percent of the responders said better teachers should make more than mediocre counterparts.
Perhaps the most egregious thing that teachers' unions do is to make it almost impossible to get rid of a bad teacher once that teacher has gained tenure. According to the Time poll, only 28 percent of people agree with teacher tenure. Bad or inadequate teachers, appropriately called lemons, instead of being fired are simply moved from school to school in a practice known as "the dance of the lemons."

Several years ago, a tree on our property became infested with ants. When the insects found their way into the house, we called an exterminator who offered to eradicate the ants for $800. Then we called our Cooperative Extension agent, who recommended a sugar and baking soda solution that cost less than $10 to apply and permanently eliminated the ant problem without the use of pesticides. I've been a Cooperative Extension evangelist ever since.
The Cooperative Extension Service is a U.S. Department of Agriculture program that provides practical, research-based information via a network of state and regional offices. Offices are affiliated with institutions of higher education and staffed by experts, but their low-and no-cost services are available to all residents. These services include publication of print and online resources on subjects like nutrition and food preparation, lawn and garden care, home economics, parenting and financial literacy. In addition, the Extension Service offers classes and workshops and provides free consumer advice by phone.
To learn how your Extension Office can help you save money while living better, use the interactive map on the Cooperative Extension Service website and locate the Extension office nearest you. Bookmark your local office's homepage and any online guides you may want to consult. (Note: The national Extension Service website provides consumer information as well.) Be sure to bookmark your office's tip hotline or staff directory page for access to phone numbers when you need expert advice. Finally, browse classes and workshops and register for those that interest you. A scan of my local Extension website turned up classes on flower gardening, parenting through divorce, healthy cooking on a budget and money management.
To get you started, here are some links to Extension Service web resources that will help you live better no matter what state you call home:
- Child Care
- Companion Animal Care
- Families, Food and Fitness
- Family Caregiving
- Food Safety
- Gardens, Lawns and Landscapes
- Home Energy
- Personal Finance
About those ants: While we used sugar and baking soda, as described in the comment section below, the Extension Service in our native state of Nebraska officially recommends sugar and boric acid. Read all about it in the Nebraska Extension article "Controlling Pests with Home Remedies."

The extension office in my city is a great resource, but Kim! How did you solve your ant problem with the sugar and baking soda? What's the specific recipe and how and where did you apply it? We've got a major case of ants in our yard right now, making their way into the house.
I love my city's extension office as well, but just in case they don't know about this sugar and baking soda fix?
Oh please tell me how you got rid of the ants! I could use this as I have little black ants all over my yard and they are killing it!

Pollard struggled to contain his emotions discussing his wife Esther's declining health. Esther, who also attended the meeting, told the ambassador she did not know how much longer her husband could survive in jail.
Ambassador Oren conveyed his condolences on the death of Pollard's father and noted Israel's efforts to arrange a meeting between the two prior to the father's death.
He said that Netanyahu wished to convey a personal message saying he was committed to Pollard's release as soon as possible.
Pollard was scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday which was postponed by prison management at the last minute.

Going places
Peace and friendship. Service to others. Helping your neighbor. It's the spirit of the Peace Corps — and the spirit of nursing — that we hear in corps founding director R. Sargent Shriver's call to look "more at each other."
This year, the Peace Corps celebrates its 50th anniversary. Since 1961, more than 200,000 U.S. volunteers have worked in 139 countries, helping their neighbors and promoting peace and understanding between nations.
But 2011 marks another milestone: the 20th anniversary of the Peace Corps Fellows program at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. The program was established in 1991 to provide community-outreach opportunities and financial assistance to Johns Hopkins nursing students who are returned Peace Corps volunteers More than 300 RPCVs have become Johns Hopkins nurses through this program.
"I hadn't considered nursing until I served in the Peace Corps. I realized the power that nurses have, particularly in the developing world, and how much I enjoy working at the community level to help people to help themselves," says Devon Gershaneck, accelerated BS '06. Today she is a nurse in the Emergency Department at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. In August, she will earn two more Johns Hopkins degrees — master's degrees in nursing and public health — from a nurse practitioner training program designed for students interested in community and public health.

I just got back from picking up a new track fork for my converted Cinelli Super Corsa fixed gear. The factory forks were of an oval tube extreme sloping internal butted crown with a big honking brake hole in it. That always bothered me esthetically, as I have been running most of my bikes without any brakes. I had Jack, at Franklin Frames, make me up a Flat Crown round bladed fork and color match it to the frame and detail it with gold striping and contrasting head tube color in the detail cutout holes, as the rest of the frame is. I think he did a great job and it makes the bike more "Old Skool Track", if you will. The trail angle of the fork was kept the same as the road fork so the handling should be the same. This bike was very quick handling before the change. There is enough clearance to run 25-28 tires if I want also, although I probably will continue running 23's because of the "hot rod" nature of the bike. I now have the option of running the road or track fork by simply switching between the two. This bike has gone thru the most radical reconfiguration of all of them and is finally complete, I think.
The attached photos will show the change.

These are week 2??? ISU ahead of Texas, Texas Tech, and Mizzou is ridiculous.
The artist formerly known as SouthernHawk
Ubben's rankings were good though I would have switched baylor with mizzou
LOL, after the game we played, we deserve to be 9th or 10th (toss up between us and KSU for the worst game)
If we beat Iowa, that won't be true anymore, at which point I'd expect us to be 7th or so.
1. Oklahoma
2. Okie State
3. Baylor
5. Texas
6. Texas Tech
7. Mizzou
Kinda hard to argue with Ubben's list. The only thing that I could disagree with is the fact that ISU played a much tougher team than both KU and KSU. Granted, UNI is still an FCS team.
No way you could have ISU anywhere above 9.

No way can you put ISU at 5. I would probably agree with SplitIdentity's list.
I'd flip aTm and Baylor in split's list. Baylor beat TCU, but their defense drags them down.
10th in power, but #1 in our hearts. Let's hope we show some remarkable improvement this week.

Could argue either way. I looked at the ranking (and 3 quarter domination) by Baylor as a little more impressive than TAMU's win.
The rankings right now are extremely fluid. ISU could make a big leap within the next couple weeks depending on how they fair against the next two BCS opponents.
Can't blame Ubben. ISU looked like garbage for the first 55 minutes. I understand there was a lot of guys out that would usually be there, but it's just UNI.
1. Oklahoma
2. Oklahoma State
3. Texas A&M
4. Baylor
5. Texas
6. Mizzou
7. Texas Tech
This ranking will change many times this season. The most important thing is where we are when its all said and done.

ABB Wins Marine Contracts
ABB has signed contracts totaling some US$80 million to supply propulsion and electrical power plant systems for ten new marine vessels from several leading shipbuilders and ship owners.
A new cruise vessel for Norwegian Cruise Line will be built at Meyer Werft shipyards of Papenburg, Germany. The ABB contract scope includes two Azipod propulsion systems rated at 19.5 MW each, generators for the main power plant and medium-voltage distribution system, plus an integrated alarm, monitoring and control system. The vessel, rated at 93 000 tons and with a passenger capacity of 2376 lower berths, is scheduled for delivery in early 2007.
Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. has awarded ABB a contract to supply complete electrical propulsion systems for six 153 000 m3 liquefied natural gas carriers. Four vessels will be owned by AP Möller and two by K-Line. All will be built in South Korea, with deliveries from late 2007 to late 2008.
Ulstein Verft in Norway has awarded ABB a contract to supply electrical propulsion systems for two offshore support vessels being built for Group Bourbon and Island Offshore for delivery in late 2005 and spring 2006. And, Aker Langsten AS in Norway has contracted with ABB for an electrical propulsion system for one offshore support vessel being built for Simon Møkster Shipping AS for delivery in late 2005.

Great Eggspectations

Maple bacon biscuits. Photo: Alexander Thompson
ABC Kitchen
35 E. 18th St., 212-475-5829, Flatiron District, Manhattan
Brunch is no poor stepchild to the dinner experience at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's highly acclaimed ABC Kitchen. The idealized, whitewashed farmhouse setting is as relaxed as an Adirondack chair (if you can get a seat, that is). Do make a reservation and then relax. Executive chef Dan Kluger and his team will take care of the rest. There are seasonal glazed donuts, maple bacon biscuits and scrambled eggs with crispy oysters and hot sauce butter. If you'd like to veer off the egg-centric brunch grid, there's steamed hake with summer squash puree and nasturtium vinaigrette, or wood-oven-roasted Maine lobster.

As Silence says, we are going to have to get out our checkbooks in this great state of Tennessee due to the TVA environmental nightmare in east Tennessee. If you don't want to read this, go look at this picture of a bunch of animals. Go look at it anyway.
I have some advice.
- Let the oil companies pay for the autobailout. They made record amounts of money this year. it's situations like the TVA coal incident that require money. Oil companies can give cash because they NEED the cars.
- Let TVA's budget pay for clean-up and the health issues that are going to come out of ash being everywhere. Let people see it for themselves. If they choose to go to Harriman and they are arrested/detained, it looks like a friggin' coverup. Is it?
- Mainstream Media across the country, hear me now: Yeah, yeah, I know it's just Tennessee but it's still an environmental disaster in this country. You know, the United States of America where we all live. Do you guys think we just have Elvis' ghost and Dolly Parton here in Tennesse. Sheesh. MSM receives the asshat/wanker award for the month. Maybe the year but they've done so much.
- From a news perspective, citizen journalism has pawned national MSM on this one. If MSM was worried before, they should be terrified now. Twitter owned you on this one.
- Why does the common man have to be accountable and corporations/big government doesn't?
- There are so many good posts out there right now covering this in the blogosphere that it would be hard to list them all. Head to Cuppa, Nashville is Talking, Silence's, Enclave, Southern Beale, RoaneViews and others for their commendable coverage of something that effects this entire region.
- And remember, new blogs on important issues like this can be started within minutes. And they have been.
I'm done with my rant.

Vicki's Wood 'n Things
|This year for my 39th birthday, or what I like to think of as my 39th, I got a Delta 13" 2-speed planer. They consider it to be in the "bench-top" category like you can pick them up and set them on the bench temporarily. Hah! Maybe the Hulk can, but not me. This baby weighs 97 lbs. so I needed a permanent, mobile home for it.
|One day while surfing I found free plans for a mobile cart. I saved the link in anticipation of one day owning a planer. Here's my version, based on Tom Hintz's plan & posted with his permission.
Tom's site: http://www.newwoodworker.com/cartmobile.html
|I had to change the dimensions somewhat to suit my needs and I wanted it closed in so I could have a little extra storage space. The 2X4's for the frame and the wheels were purchased for this projects. The sides, top, bottom, and door were made from left-over ply-wood from my stash. The back is from left-over OSB.
|A view of the back showing the wheel assembly. I followed Tom's advice and used the corner block and extra block at the end of the 2X4 to give extra strength. I found I needed the doubled 2X4's anyway to have an area wide enough for attaching the wheels.
|I used 1/2 laps as Tom did and gave the finished project a couple coats of poly. Sticking with the re-cycling idea, it was a can of left-over poly that should have been tossed. I did splurge and spend a couple bucks on new hinges. I had some old ones, but the cart was starting to look too nice for those. These are self-closing so I don't need a knob.
|Here she is all stowed away. The planer is still heavy but by pulling up an inch or two on the handles I can jockey it into a useable position in the shop. You can see the dust hood poking out the back side. I'm able to hook the planer to my Shop Vac (which you can see peeking out of the far corner) so there is very little mess made during use.
|You can see how closing in the cart gives me an almost dust-free storage area for my folders of plans, tips, and machine manuals. Once the side frames were assembled by inserting screws from the inside so they wouldn't show, I routed the rabbits to recess the back, sides, and inside bottom. The top which I rounded over with a 1/2" round over bit is attached from inside with corner blocks.

Recently I had the chance to interview Free Radical's Rob Yescombe, screenwriter for next gen title HAZE for Xbox 360, PC, and PS3. If you haven't heard of Free Radical Designs they are the studio behind awesome titles like Timesplitters and Second Sight.
So on with the interview:
About the Game
PSU: How does title "HAZE" play into the game?
Rob: Well, to be too specific would spoil a few things. But in broad strokes, a 'haze' implies something unclear – something obscured. In the heat of battle, it can be hard for a soldier to think clearly. Haze is also a military slang word, associated with initiation tests and 'Code Reds'. That said, those definitions don't necessarily imply the content of the game… We're enjoying being very non-specific at the moment.
PSU: First person shooters are becoming more common on consoles, and are already in abundance on PC - what's different about Haze?
Rob: It's early days, so in fact, at the moment we're keen to show off all the FPS aspects that gamers are familiar with – and to show how we've improved them. Things like AI and level design are key to a top quality FPS, but so many games don't give them the care and attention they need. Beyond that, you can look forward to all the physical and mental benefits that Nectar provides for Mantel's private army... Vague enough for you?
PSU: What can you tell us about Jake Carpenter?
Rob: Jake is a young guy, a college graduate. He's recent transfer from a conflict in Seoul, so he's well versed in combat but he's new to the South American war zone where this game is set. He's pretty much the standard Mantel Trooper – a well-paid tough guy, obeying orders with a smile on his face.
PSU: Does Jake follow a fixed storyline, or is there scope to his mission?
Rob: The game is a visceral war story, told over a continuous three-day period. The plot is linear, but there will be some flexibility in how you tackle the objectives. It's choc-a-block full of rich characters and some really dazzling set-pieces, but it's not all explosions and gunfire – we think tat downtime is just as important in a dramatic experience. You're definitely going to feel something for your comrades. Really, war isn't horrifying because of the blood – it's horrifying because of who's bleeding. If you care about the people who die, your gaming experience will be richer. It will mean something.
PSU: The game takes place in South America I've read, what kinda terrain should we expect to see?
Rob: Well, rest assured, HAZE isn't just a jungle shooter – you'll be travelling from sea level through a huge range of environments up to the top of a mountain and beyond. I'm not allowed to tell you specifics yet, but you'll know from TimeSplitters that we're obsessed with providing plenty of variety in locations. You won't be going to Egypt or a Space Port, but you sure as hell aren't going to get bored.
PSU: Why is Jake fighting The Promise Hand, and who are they?
Rob: Well, The Promise Hand is a faction of guerrillas who have overthrown the government in the Boa region of South America. They're lead by a vicious warlord and would-be dictator known as 'Skin Coat'. Skin Coat earned his nickname by flaying the skins of POWs and fashioning the pieces into crude leather, from which he makes his clothes. He is an extremely dangerous man, and his soldiers are terrifyingly dedicated.
PSU: To what extent will destructible environments go in HAZE?
Rob: There will be many destructible elements throughout the game. Furthermore, we're really focussing on a life-like appearance to the environment overall – the lighting, the textures, the sounds. When you step out of the Mantel dropship, it's going to look like the real world.
PSU: What multiplayer modes should we expect to see in HAZE?
Rob: You'll be able to play the main narrative campaign in four-player co-op, split-screen or online. And, what's more, the multiplayer maps are going to blow everyone away – they're objective based, missions that will support two full teams going head-to-head, each with their own specific aims and goals.
PSU: Free Radical has been known to add a Map Maker to their FPS games (Timesplitters), will there be one for HAZE?
Rob: We'd love to, but there's really isn't the time. We're throwing ourselves into making an incredibly focussed single-player experience, with top end co-op and multiplayer maps. We want those elements to be perfect, so we need to spend as much time on them as possible.
PSU: What weapons/vehicles/items will you be able to utilize in HAZE?
Rob: I can't go into detail yet, because I'll be spanked – in the bad way – but the weapon and vehicle set is based on real-world stuff with a near-future twist. But the really exciting thing about combat in HAZE is the difference in fighting styles between Mantel, who are highly trained military badasses; and The Promise Hand, who really know how to use the terrain and their own ferocity to their advantage.
PSU: What is your favorite weapon as of now?
Rob: Personally, I have a bit of a pistol fetish. It's got a real snap, so you blink when you fire it. That's our rule of thumb: if it makes you flinch, it makes it into the game.
About Development
PSU: How many years has HAZE been in the works?
Rob: The engine has been in development for about two years, and the game concept itself has been in the works for about eleven months. Really, HAZE is the accumulation of all the great ideas we haven't had time to put into other games in the past.
PSU: I've read that Free Radical has built the game engine from the ground up, what new technologies should we see in this new engine?
Rob: Oh, you can be sure to get a plethora of next-gen excellence. HDR, Normal mapping, Depth of Field… The list goes on, but the important thing is this: HAZE will be one of the most visually spectacular games of 2007.
PSU: Any differences between the 3 versions (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)?
Rob: The three versions are planned as the same right now. That said, we are looking into extra content to see what's going to be feasible.
PSU: Are you using the Blu-ray technology of the PS3 to add additional game material?
Rob: Nope.
PSU: Any difficulties in developing for the PS3 due to new Cell structure?
Rob: We certainly haven't encountered anything particularly difficult about it so far. It's a powerful tool, and we're using it to do some pretty amazing stuff.
PSU: What is the best thing about next gen consoles, more specifically the PS3, that enables great game development?
Rob: Next-gen technology has really opened up the possibility of creating environments that look, feel and behave in a realistic way. Just being able to do post-processing, something that movies have been doing for years, has been making our artists robot dance with glee.
PSU: How would you describe the power of the Cell and RSX?
Rob: There's a huge amount of potential there, but it's going to take time to really blossom. Certainly in the next few years, we're going to see some very special things coming out of it.
PSU: Will HAZE be utilizing the tilt sensors of the PS3 controller?
Rob: We're looking into it. It's a possibility.
PSU: Will HAZE be shipped to play in 1080p?
Rob: We're testing things now. Hopefully, yes.
PSU: What will be the framerate at which HAZE plays in?
Rob: Again, we're still testing. But you can rest assured that it'll be the best it can possibly be.
PSU: Is there an official ship date set for HAZE?
Rob: 2007.
PSU: If you would like to add anything else about HAZE that would be great. For example: multiplayer features, how the PS3 and Xbox will run multiplayer, etc.
Rob: Actually, one of the cool features we're implementing is that all the multiplayer maps and objectives are tied into the single player campaign – events that occur in the main narrative will cause incidents in the multiplayer and vice-versa. If you want the whole experience of the story, you're going to want to play all the multiplayer levels too. It's going to be cooler than Walt Disney's urine.

Santa Out and About
Published: December 21, 2012
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
The sound of jingle bells has been heard and a jolly old man in a red and white suit has been seen out and about in the mid- and up-valley lately, and Kris Kringle will be making appearances all over the area this weekend as well.
Last weekend in Archbald, there was a cheery small-town gathering at High School Plaza with carolers singing, residents sipping hot chocolate and a horse-drawn carriage taking people for rides when who should arrive (aboard an East Side Hose Co. No. 4 fire truck) but ol' St. Nick himself.
This weekend Santa wil be making still more stops:
- Santa will return to Archbald Saturday, Dec. 22, at the East Side Hose Co. No. 4 fire station, 458 Salem Road at 11 a.m. Then at 11:30 a.m. he'll head out into the borough aboard that fire truck with treats for onlookers. Anyone in Archbald Borough wishing a special visit from Santa should call 876-1524 and leave your name, address and call back number.
- In nearby Eynon, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 7963, 278 Main St., Eynon, will host a children's Christmas party Saturday, Dec. 22, noon to 1:30 p.m. There will be refreshments and each child will receive a small treat. Santa will arrive by fire truck around noon. Bring a camera. Other sponsors include American Legion Post No. 624, the Eynon Fire Department and Ambrose Revels American Legion Post No. 328.
- The Mayfield Lions Club will conduct its yearly "Visit with Santa" Sunday, Dec. 23, 2-3 p.m., at St. John's Center, 703 Hill St. in Mayfield. Pizza and refreshments will be served, and activities will include coloring, writing wish lists and a singalong of favorite Christmas songs. Santa will read "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and pose for photos.
- Santa will also tour the Peckville area of Blakely Borough on board the Wilson Fire Co. No. 1 fire truck Sunday, Dec. 23. beginning at 5 p.m. Santa's elves will distribute treats along the way. Parents of children that are ill or homebound, who would like to request a personal visit from Santa should call 383-2286 and leave their name, address and a phone number, or notify any member.

Reviews for Caramel Chocolate Sauce
Reviewed Sep. 21, 2014
"This sauce is Great! I used it with an Ice cream cake instead of frosting. It was SO good and the caramel in the chocolate was the perfect touch. It is hard to get the caramels to completely melt but even with a few chewy bites it is perfect!"
Reviewed Dec. 16, 2010
"This is good, but cannot taste any caramel. It also makes a lot for 2 people, so will cut the recipe in half next time and the chocolate chips to 1/4 cup. I used this sauce to drizzle over "Blondies with Chips""

On the same day that Trion Worlds, makers of the Defiance MMO, announced that Scott Hartsman was the new CEO, it shut down its San Diego office. The lion's share of the work being done at the San Diego office was related to Defiance. Trion Worlds confirmed the shutdown of the studio and that development on Defiance would be moved to its Redwood City office.
"We can confirm that the San Diego studio will be closing," the company said in a statement. "The day to day operations of Defiance will be moved to our Redwood City studio where it can be managed alongside Rift and our other in development titles including ArcheAge and End of Nations. As part of this transition, we are working hard to ensure that a number of great people will be making the move from San Diego to the Bay Area and continue their work at Trion."
In case you didn't know, Scott Hartsman previously served as chief creative officer on the MMO RIFT. He takes over for Lars Buttler, who remains on the Trion Worlds board of directors.
