Are you losing the chore wars?
Communication and compromise can help you manage household tasks
Unless there is a family discussion, "things can get ugly in a hurry," Vernazza said. To get things started, have a family meeting with a list of things that need to get done, and let everyone volunteer for their favorite chores — which means more men might be doing the cooking. According to the study, men would rather make dinner and do the dishes than take out the garbage and mow the lawn. In fact, more men than women said they really enjoy making dinner.
That's a reflection of how our society and economy have changed, Vernazza said. "Men like to be more creative," she said.
After everyone has an assignment, start a routine and put a chore chart on the refrigerator. "People need structure," said Jana Heartwell, a certified professional organizer and owner of Sensible Organizing Solutions.
Recognizing everyone's chore style will also help keep household harmony. Samsung developed a chore quiz to categorize people's cleaning style. According to the quiz, people fall into four chore categories: "Weekend Warrior," "Solo Flyer," "Chore-Crastinator" and "Little-by-Littlers" (see sidebar for details).
Actress and comedian Niecy Nash, who is also the former host of Style Network's "Clean House," is helping to promote the quiz. "It's a fun way to connect to people in your house and to get them excited about cleaning," said Nash, who because of her busy schedule categorizes herself as a Weekend Warrior. Her fiancé, Jay Tucker, is more of a Chore-Crastinator, she said.
But Nash doesn't see their different cleaning styles causing any bumps in their marriage. "In a perfect world, I'd like us to merge into Little-by-Littlers," she said.
Setting certain times aside for everyone to do chores can keep resentment to a minimum. It's harder to clean when someone else is playing on the computer. But, don't expect people to jump right in when they get home from work. Everyone needs a bit of a break. "Home is our sanctuary," Vernazza said.
Vernazza also suggested considering people's natural habits. Morning people should offer to walk the dog and bring in the paper, while night people can set the coffee maker, take out the trash and turn on the dishwasher.
But, above all, even if your chore styles clash as badly as the "Odd Couple," "don't nag, point fingers or blame each other," Vernazza said. "Nagging won't work."
What does work? Humor and compliments go a long way. "You have to make it pleasurable," Vernazza said.

First Wuhan Bridge
Wuchang and Hanyang are linked by this great bridge - it's more than 1100m long and 80m high.
The completion of the bridge in 1957 marked one of Communist China's first great engineering achievements, because until then all road and rail traffic had to be laboriously ferried across the river.
A second Trans-Yangtze bridge in northern Wuhan was completed in mid-1995.
Second Wuhan Bridge
The second bridge, built of press-stressed concrete, has a central span of 400 meters long with double bridgeheads and two cabled sides.The Wuhan Second Changjiang River Bridge is 4,678 meters in length (including 1,877 meters of the main bridge) and 26.5 to 33.5 meters in width. Its main bridgeheads are 90 meters high each, pulling 392 thick slanting cables together in the shape of double fans, so that the central span of the bridge is well poised on the piers and the bridge's stability and vibration resistance are ensured. With six lanes on the deck, the bridge is designed to handle 50,009, motor vehicles to passevery day.

Hanshan Temple was built to the west of Suzhou where three canals intersect; one being the famous Grand Canal. At this junction, there is a bridge called the Maple Bridge (Fengqiao), which dates back at least to the Tang dynasty, as there is a well-known poem by the Tang poet, Zhang Ji, entitled, ôMooring to the Maple Bridge at Nightö. On Chinese New Years Eve, people gather at the bridge to hear the bells of Hanshan Temple, as described in the poem.

Hey guys, I know this sounds like a novice question (but then again, I'm pretty much still a novice), but how do I make brushes for Gimp that use the foreground color as the color for painting? I have read through both the GIMP users manual, and a few online tutorials, and have managed to create a brush, but it only paints solid black, regardless of what the foreground color is set to. I have tried a couple different methods for making the brush, and no joy.
First Method:
1. Create new doc (rbg color).
2. Create new transparent layer.
3. Create brush shape (colored black) on the new layer.
4. Delete Background layer.
5. Save doc as a .gbr file in the brushes folder of Gimp (in the users, documents and settings path).
This method got me a brush that only painted using solid black.
Second Method:
1. Create new doc (greyscale color).
2. Set the background color to gray (50%).
3. Create new transparent layer.
4. Create brush shape (colored black) on the new layer.
5. Flatten image.
6. Save doc as .gbr file etc.
This method got me a brush with a gray background color.
Ahrgh! Can somebody pleas help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?

409 Summit, Suite 3200Yankton, SD 57078
Ear infections are one of the most common reasons parents take their children to the doctor. While there are different types of ear infections, the most common is called otitis media, which means an inflammation and infection of the middle ear. The middle ear is located just behind the eardrum.
For each ear, a eustachian tube runs from the middle ear to the back of the throat. This tube drains fluid that is normally made in the middle ear. If the eustachian tube becomes blocked, fluid can build up. When this happens, germs such as bacteria and viruses can multiply and cause an infection.
Ear infections are common in infants and children, in part because the eustachian tubes become easily clogged. Anything that causes the eustachian tubes to become swollen or blocked causes more fluids to build up in the middle ear behind the eardrum. These causes include:
In infants, the clearest sign is often irritability and inconsolable crying. Many infants and children develop a fever or have trouble sleeping. Parents often think that tugging on the ear is a symptom of an ear infection, but studies have shown that the same number of children going to the doctor tug on the ear whether or not the ear is infected.
Symptoms in older children or adults include:
The child may have symptoms of a cold, or the ear infection may start shortly after having a cold.
All acute ear infections include fluid behind the eardrum. You can use an electronic ear monitor, such as EarCheck, to detect this fluid at home. The device is available at pharmacies, but you still need to see your doctor to confirm any possible ear infection.
Learn more about the symptoms, exams, and treatment of ear infection.
Tinnitus is the medical term for "hearing" noises in your ears when there is no outside source of the sounds.
The noises you hear can be soft or loud. They may sound like ringing, blowing, roaring, buzzing, hissing, humming, whistling, or sizzling. You may even think you are hearing air escaping, water running, the inside of a seashell, or musical notes.
Tinnitus is common. Almost everyone experiences a mild form of tinnitus once in awhile that only lasts a few minutes. However, constant or recurring tinnitus is stressful and can interfere with your ability to concentrate or sleep.
It is not known exactly what causes a person to "hear" sounds with no outside source of the noise. However, tinnitus can be a symptom of almost any ear problem, including ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, and injury from loud noises. Alcohol, caffeine, antibiotics, aspirin, or other drugs can also cause ear noises.
Tinnitus may occur with hearing loss. Occasionally, it is a sign of high blood pressure, an allergy, or anemia. Rarely, tinnitus is a sign of a serious problem like a tumor or aneurysm.
Call your doctor if:
Learn more about tinnitus.
Swimmer's ear is inflammation, irritation, or infection of the outer ear and ear canal. The medical term for swimmer's ear is otitis externa.
Swimmer's ear is fairly common, especially among teenagers and young adults.
Causes of swimmer's ear include:
Trying to clean wax from the ear canal, especially with cotton swabs or small objects, can irritate or damage the skin.
Swimmer's ear is occasionally associated with middle ear infection (otitis media) or upper respiratory infections such as colds. Moisture in the ear makes the ear more prone to infection from water-loving bacteria such as pseudomonas. Other bacteria, and rarely, fungi, can also cause infection.
The doctor will perform a physical exam, which includes looking inside the ears. The ear, including the ear canal, appears red and swollen. The skin inside the ear canal may be scaly or shedding.
Touching or moving the outer ear increases the pain. The eardrum may be difficult for the doctor to see because of a swelling in the outer ear.
The doctor may take a sample of fluid from the ear and send it to a lab so any bacteria or fungus can be identified.
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection. Medicines may include:
The ear canal should be cleaned of drainage. This allows the medicines to work better.
Four or five ear drops should be used at a time, so that the medicine can get into the end of the ear canal. If the ear canal is very swollen, a wick may be applied in the ear to allow the drops to travel to the end of the canal.
Analgesics may be used if the pain is severe. Placing something warm against the ears may reduce pain.
Wax blockage is an obstruction of the ear canal with wax (cerumen).
The ear canal is lined with hair follicles and glands that produce a waxy oil called cerumen.
Ear wax protects the ear by trapping dust, bacteria and other microorganisms, and other foreign particles to prevent them from entering and damaging the ear. Ear wax also helps protect the delicate skin of the ear canal from becoming irritated when water is in the canal. The wax usually makes its way to the opening of the ear, where it falls out or is removed by washing.
In some people, the glands produce more wax than can be easily removed from the ear. This extra wax may harden in the ear canal and block the ear. More commonly, wax may block the ear canal if you try to clean the ear and accidentally push wax deeper into the ear canal.
Wax blockage is one of the most common causes of hearing loss.
During a physical examination, the health care provider will look into the ear for signs of wax blockage.
Most cases of ear wax blockage can be treated at home. The following can be used to soften the wax in the ear:

If you're like me, you probably love the beautiful colours of vintage glass. I'm not a big antiques collector, but I do happen to love old mason jars. So simple, yet so beautiful. Especially the ones that have gorgeous blue and green tones! However, they can be pricey or hard to find.
Here's a great DIY project for creating them yourself! Spaghetti jars never looked so good!
Like any great DIY, you have to tweak things a bit to make them work for you. I saw a ton of tutorials online and finally came up with one that worked best for me! Here's what you'll need to get started:
1 Collect some jars, wash the labels off. Then use equal parts white glue and water to create a paste.
2 Experiment with the colouring by adding drops of blue and green food colouring. For example, two drops blue, one drop green gives a pretty turquoise color!
3 Use foam brushes to paint the outside of the jars. That way, you can still fill them with water and put fresh flowers in them.
4 They will look streaky. Apply two coats. Allow to dry and you'll see the streaks disappear. Or, at least most of them! It creates a really pretty frosted look.
Try it! So easy and literally cost pennies!! The makings of a great DIY in my opinion.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _ Lawmakers are debating a bill aimed
aimed at helping families of children with autism and related
disorders get coverage for their treatment.
The measure is wide-ranging and would require that by 2010 some
health plans cover some treatments for autism. In the meantime, it
would open up KidCare -- Florida's subsidized, low-cost health care
program -- to paying to treat children who have autism and similar
The KidCare program is one of the few initiatives set to get
more money in this tight budget year. A proposed increase of
roughly 13 million dollars could mean an additional 38,000 children
are covered.
During the first and only hearing for the autism bill today,
advocates, officials and lawmakers expressed fears that absorbing
lots of children with expensive health needs will drive up the
costs for KidCare.

I the values are actually numeric, they should be stored as numerics,

So... the question is: WHY ARE THEY STRINGS?
The data may be coming from another source that the OP has no control over. In the language I do most of my programming in, Business Basic, everything is stored as a string, so 12.35 is stored as "12.25" instead of it's binary representation.
When I have this problem in Business Basic what I do is add leading zeros before storing the numbers in a file. The file system in Business Basic allows me to store records in a file and automatically sorts them by the key value. This means that you have to know in advance the size of the numbers.
What I would do is store the strings as ["10.1", "07.4", "10.9", "10.11", "10.10"] and this should sort properly. In the second case I would store the number as "10.01.25". Now if the numbers are something like TCP addresses this method probably won't work.

Hello All,
I would like to request some helping with a sorting problem I have.
Given an array with values like this ["10.1", "7.4", "10.9", "10.11",
when I sort it i get something like ["10.1", "10.10", "10.11", "10.9",
What is the best way to sort such an array of strings?
What if the string was extended to "10.1.25".
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

"Marquise" is a sprightly costumer based on the fetching dancer-cum-thesp who dazzled Moliere, Racine and the Sun King himself before making a suitably theatrical exit in 1668 at age 35.
"Marquise" is a sprightly costumer based on the fetching dancer-cum-thesp who dazzled Moliere, Racine and the Sun King himself before making a suitably theatrical exit in 1668 at age 35. Toplined by Sophie Marceau, the unpretentious dramedy manages to make viewers feel sophisticated and involved without requiring an advanced degree in French history. An attractive cast, bawdy subtext, lavish production design and peppy score are among the pleasures in Vera Belmont's energetically helmed pic, which should click nicely locally and offshore.Not unlike Patrice Leconte's "Ridicule," with its early glimpse of a nobleman urinating on an enemy, "Marquise" gets under way with four actresses in urgent search of a latrine. The scene is set for bodily functions to co-exist with higher pursuits, as the bladder-emptying damsels are with Moliere's itinerant theatrical troupe. During the pit stop, Moliere (Bernard Giraudeau in a lively, muscular perf) and best friend/fellow actor Gros-Rene (Patrick Timsit) witness Marquise (Marceau) dancing for a scruffy crowd. Her movements — which a sudden downpour and a spate of slow motion can't repress — are the prelude to servicing paying customers, whose coins are pocketed by Marquise's dad. Gros-Rene immediately is smitten and, while an elderly gent has his way with her, the roly-poly comic proposes, promising his bride-to-be she'll have her chance to act onstage in Paris. She accepts. Although the brazen, self-assured beauty and the balding portly ham appear to be an odd couple, their relationship thrives on his bottomless adoration and her reciprocal affection. Showbiz, then as now, is a morally fluid and fiercely loyal realm. Marquise sleeps around — mostly with guys whose names still will resonate three centuries hence — yet cherishes her husband. Next to be smitten is budding playwright Racine (a dashing Lambert Wilson), who gives her private coaching in the 17th-century Method. When Louis XIV (Thierry Lhermitte) is persuaded to ban Moliere's "Tartuffe," Racine and Marquise get their respective breaks. Before long, Marquise triumphs in "Andromaque." The tragedy, written to order for his beloved in 1667, assured Racine's reputation but took its toll on Marquise. Pic's conclusion borrows from "All About Eve," "Hamlet" and history with a firm but far from overbearing hand. In her fourth outing behind the camera, Belmont, who has produced nearly 30 films in as many years, including "Quest for Fire" and "Farinelli," makes the era spring to life. Pic's first half is crammed full of incident and detail as if to say, "See — these really were interesting times," and auds readily will agree. Frivolity gradually gives way to deeper themes — artistic and romantic rivalry, remaining in favor at court, knowing when to be witty, when to be wily and when to weep. Dialogue features some risque banter and finely tuned insults but remains grounded and accessible. Robust and spirited without showing off, Marceau has all the creamy-breasted allure and most of the grace required to turn heads and accrue glory. As her husband, Timsit is ardent and touching. And in a far from obvious casting choice, Lhermitte scores as the King. Shot and edited with alacrity, pic conveys the mud, muck and rabble as well as the sumptuous pomp of the day. Jordi Savall's score is a delight. As costumers based on real-life characters go, this effort is not as breathlessly informative as "Beaumarchais," as inherently poignant as "Farinelli" or as artistically ambitious as "Tous les matins du monde." It's simply entertaining without being taxing.

At the Russian Venture Awards 2013, which were held last week, Firrma.ru CEO Dmitry Falaleev presented the "Top-25 most active funds on the Russian Venture Market."
While Falaleev stressed that the list should not be considered an indicator of the quality of funds, and nor should it be seen as authoritative, as much information about funds' activity is not in the public domain, he hopes that it will serve as a helpful overview, particularly to outsiders.
In order to be included in the Top-25 a fund had to have Russian founders, to have invested in at least 2 Russian projects in the past 2 years (Nov 2011 - Nov 2013) and to be more than a year old. Funds specifically oriented towards seed investments were also excluded. In addition to the Top-25, Top-10s were also compiled for seed funds, new funds and foreign funds.
Runa Capital was ranked the most active Russian fund, with over $75 million invested in at least 27 projects.
Runa co-founder and managing partner Dmitry Chikhachev commented:
"The Russian venture market is growing up and becoming more transparent. I hope that soon there won't be any need for "beauty contests" and investor ratings, because like in other parts of the world success will be measured by funds' capitalization and income from investments. It was a packed year for the venture sector, with almost all professional investors adding to their portfolios. The results, of course, remain to be seen. It will probably be 6 years before we know the best deal of 2013 - that being the average period from investment to exit for investors in early stage projects."
Among new funds, the most active was FRII, a Kremlin-sponsored accelerator for internet-related startups that made a small initial investment in all 34 companies that entered its 3 month program in October. Among new funds making larger investments Maxfield Capital, Flint Capital, QWave and 101Startup were particularly active.
Alexey Solovev, managing partner of Prostor Capital, which ranked 5th in the top-25, pointed out that
"looking at the list of active venture funds, new players make up around 25%. These new investors come from a range of backgrounds - former traders, creators of internet portals, businessmen from the IT industry and others - but, broadly speaking, you can put them in two groups - IT people or finance people."
The seed funds top-10 shows the importance of super-angels and the state for new projects.
The leading seed investor was business angel Igor Ryabenki's Altair, while Igor Matsanyuk's IMI.vc was also particularly active.
Igor Ryabenki explains that
"Russian super-angel funds operate in a similar way to American ones, choosing projects according to similar criteria. However, in the West super-angels and their partners invest up to $1m, which allows them to compete with venture investors for the best projects. In Russia these funds are more oriented towards seed (and sometimes pre-seed)."
The state also plays an important role as a co-investor with private funds. The Moscow Seed Fund, state venture corporation RVC's seed fund and the new FRII fund all operate in this way.
Dmitry Polyakov, deputy manager of Softline Venture Partners, which has co-invested with the Moscow Seed Fund since summer 2012, said that
"Before the Moscow Seed Fund appeared I can't think of a single instance when innovative startups were financed through repayable loans. The fund, by accumulating financial resources, has provided us as a private investor with valuable support and helped us to invest in more projects."
The list of the top-10 most active foreign funds shows that the Russia venture market remains a pretty domestic affair. Between them they funded less than 30 projects. However, there is plenty of interest in Russian abroad, and so foreign investment has the potential to increase as the market becomes more open and transparent.

January 2012
My name is Nick Astalos and this is my junior year at Kenston High School. I signed up for Web Design because I want to become involved in the best school website in the country.
Presently, my computer background consists of Keyboarding and the basic Microsoft programs. I hope to contribute to the KHS Website working on the Boys Soccer, Envirothon, and NHS pages, as well as taking pictures of the student body. Besides Website Design and Maintenance, I am taking AP Government & Politics, International Business, and Honors Algebra II/Trigonometry this semester.
When I am not in the classroom, I like to play soccer, take pictures, and volunteer at multiple community service events. My favorite TV shows are American Pickers, Ax Men, Pawn Stars, and Storage Wars. My favorite radio station is 96.5. My all-time favorite movies are Avatar, Transformers, Grown Ups, and Shooter. And my favorite soccer teams are Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs.
I hope you enjoy the 2011-2012 version of the KHS Website.

Tonight will be one of those truly special nights again, as I take the stage at the legendary Iridium Jazz Club in NYC with not only The Les Paul Trio (headed up by Lou Pallo), but also with my band too! This is such a great venue to play in New York, especially because it just oozes goodness and great memories of all those wonderful nights that Les Paul "held court" there, and it's so wonderful to feel that I have a part in continuing his legacy, as well as building on my own.
It's also a special night because the Thank You Les album and documentary I just played on, and that my daughter Lexie Roth sang on is up for Grammy consideration (how could it not?!) as well as my new album All Tricked Out, plus my Live at the Iridium CD, both of which are also up for Grammys! Wow, very "heady" stuff, all this Grammy talk, but the main thing that I look forward to tonight is simply making the best music I can, and having a great audience to go along with it!
New York and the surrounding area have been hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, and there's no doubt that people are still disabled by the storm (I only got power back last night after a full week without it!), so I expect there to be a lighter than usual turnout since many trains, etc. are still not running on a regular schedule. But New Yorkers are tough, and they love their good music, and they love entertainment during tough times, so I still feel very optimistic about the show! Also, I get to perform again with my sweet daughter, Lexie (and bring in some gasoline for her truck!), which is always the most rewarding part of any gig I do, as long as she's there.
This is when some "nerves" can kick in, since I have not actually played with my band since before the summer, but as always, and as I have written about in my other blogs, there's nothing like having players you can really trust! We have no need to rehearse, and even though it could never hurt, it's still nice to be able to hit that stage with a certain degree of spontaneity to the music, and to what will happen. I believe audiences also appreciate that, and when the band is really working, and we're having fun, so will the folks sitting at their tables!
So wish me and the group good luck tonight, as we take the stage once again, and keep the music alive, and the Les Paul legacy moving forward!
Gibson.com's Arlen Roth, affectionately known The King of All Guitar Teachers, is music lesson pioneer and the quintessential guitarist. An accomplished and brilliant musician — and one of the very few who can honestly say he's done it all — Roth has, over the course of his celebrated 35-year career, played on the world's grandest stages, accompanied many of the greatest figures in modern music and revolutionized the concept of teaching guitar.

"Take Early Action & Live" - the TEAL Initiative. If ovarian cancer is diagnosed and treated early, when the cancer is confined to the ovary, the five year survival rate is over 90%. That is why awareness of early symptoms and education about the disease are so important. It is this simple, yet undeniably powerful truth that inspired the "Take Early Action & Live" initiative. The TEAL Initiative leverages the power and effectiveness of pass-along email to spread awareness at a grass roots level from one women to her circle of friends and family. The initiative has two objectives: the first is helping women become aware of the four most consistent symptoms of ovarian cancer. The second is let women know if they experience any of those symptoms on a daily basis for more then a few weeks, they should talk to their physician, preferrably a gynecologist, right away.
To begin your own pass-along email message to the women you care about, click here and we'll get you started. The message you send out today, may save a life tomorrow.
Distribute Literature. Education can be as simple as passing out risk and symptom literature. You may want to consider distributing risk and symptom cards at health fairs, women's groups, even your local grocery store. Libraries and bookstores are great places to handout risk and symptom bookmarks. If you would like us to send you NOCC's risk and symptom cards or bookmarkers at no cost to you, please contact us at 1-888-OVARIAN (1-888-682-7426) or email us at email@example.com.
Presentations on Ovarian Health. NOCC has trained speakers across the country to present its "Ovarian Health... What every Woman Should Know." This brief presentation can be given to groups of any size and can be made at the work place, clubs, health fairs, churches, or other special events. For more information or to arrange a presentation, please contact us at 1-888-OVARIAN (1-888-682-7426) or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Volunteer for your local NOCC Chapter. The mission of the NOCC is to save lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure ovarian cancer, and to improve the quality of life for survivors. With a national network of more than 60 Chapters, NOCC has established itself as the leading advocate for patients and families struggling with ovarian cancer. Committed volunteers work together to advance NOCC's mission through a toll-free helpline, comprehensive website, peer support, professional education, the promotion of research, publications and special projects such as "Break the Silence", a national education program to facilitate greater awareness and dialogue about ovarian cancer.
NOCC volunteers fuel the ovarian cancer awareness movement in local communities throughout the United States. These volunteers understand the specific needs of individual communities and through the establishment of local chapters, promote and expand patient, public, and professional education about ovarian cancer. At the local level, NOCC volunteers are trained to offer support to patients, family members and caregivers. They organize awareness event, sponsor educational programs and continuing medical education symposia, disseminate literature at healthfairs and address organizations through speaker's bureaus.
You can experience the value of helping others. For volunteer opportunities, meetings, events or support groups in your community, please contact your local chapter. If there is no local chapter in your community and you are interested in starting one or finding out out about other ways to get involved, please contact us at 1-888-OVARIAN (1-888-682-7426) or email us at email@example.com. Together we can make a difference and save women's lives through ovarian cancer education and awareness.

Culminating in last night's screening of the Marvel Comics based Thor -- which has its roots in the Norwegian legends of the Norse Gods and their fabled home of Asgard -- films inspired by or created in the very chilly Scandinavian country of Norway have been in the NYC spotlight lately.
Okay, so connecting director Kenneth Branagh's Thor, the latest cinematic rendering of a Marvel Comic character, might be pushing the Nordic film connection, but this flick has hit most of the grandiose marks and certainly won't dissuade the interest in anything Norwegian. As quality genre flicks go, this one looks like it's worth the $150 million dollars that it cost.
This huge, effects-laden epic starts off with a scene set in Norway 899 AD, when the Gods, led by Odin (Anthony Hopkins), defeat the Frost Giants who have plaguing Midgard (Earth). The victory is won at a cost -- Odin's eye -- and the enemy is pushed back to their homeworld of Jotunheim.
When several giants try to regain the Casket of Ancient Winters, the source of their power which had been seized by Odin, Thor, his hot-headed, arrogant elder son (played by Chris Hemsworth) leads a band of fellow warriors to attack them -- defying his father's will and abrogating the fragile peace.
As a result, he's banished to Earth without his powers. Thor must now prove himself worthy in order to regain his hammer Mjolnir, his power, and then battle his evil brother Loki who has betrayed Odin and the other Gods.
Without going into the endless plot permutations, the Shakespearean-trained Branagh turns out to be an inspired choice to helm this tale told with over-the-top theatrical excess and incredible effects.
But the real Nordic incursion started during New Directors/New Films (which ran from March 23 - April 3) -- organized by the Museum of Modern Art and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. The fest screened Happy, Happy (Sykt lykkelig), Norwegian director Anne Sewitsky's feature debut which won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
Then the Tribeca Film Festival -- which took place between April 20 and May 1 -- selected Norwegian Jannicke Systad Jacobsen's feature debut Turn Me On, Goddammit (Få meg på, for faen) to have its world premiere (on April 23) in the fest's World Narrative Competition. It won the Best Screenplay for a Narrative Feature Film for the director/writer Jacobsen.
Another very different though equally well-done Norwegian feature The Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren) also was seen at TFF 2011 after a U.S. debut at Sundance earlier in the year. Distributor Magnolia Pictures has scheduled an American release later this year.
Both films turned a quirky eccentric eye on each of their respective genres. Turn Me On, Goddammit is a wry coming-of-age tale and The Troll Hunter offers a unique take on the classic monster myth as filter through a mock-umentary styled rendering (ala The Blair Witch Project). As highlights of this year's TFF, these films use their Norwegian cultural milieu as the bedrock to each story which informs them with a specificity of culture and image. That enhances the wackiness of each one by adding an curious wrinkle to their telling.
To really understand whatever the hell has been happening in Norway's cinematic community, try to catch the last night, May 4, of The Far Side of Paradise: New Films from Norway, a program which has been running sinec April 27 at The Lincoln Center Film Society's Walter Reade Theater.
This selection of recent Norwegian features and shorts has offered a great opportunity to get an overview of some of their best, including Arild Andresen's award-winning The Liverpool Goalie (Keeper'n til Liverpool), Stian Kristensen's The Man Who Loved Yngve (Mannen som elsket Yngve) and Margreth Olin's The Angel (Engelen).
In addition, veteran Norwegian directors Marika Sødahl, Bent Hamer and Marius Holst attended screenings of their latest titles -- Limbo, Home for Christmas (Hjem til jul) and King of Devil's Island (Kongen af Bastøy), respectively. There was also a special program devoted to the late Edith Carlmar, Norway's first woman director, who had visited the Walter Reade in 1999 (she directed Liv Ullmann in her first starring role).
To add to this catalog of such interesting Norwegian fare, Max Manus: Man of War -- the most expensive film production in Norwegian cinema history -- is getting a DVD release here shortly. A historical epic in the tradition of classic European films about World War II, the film tells the story of one of Europe's most celebrated resistance fighters, Max Manus. Directed by Norwegian filmmakers Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, it won six Norwegian Academy Awards (including Best Film and Best Actor).
From the grand and glorious to the absurd, contemporary Norwegian cinema can be seen in local festivals, film centers and even on the big screen.

|Discussion continues on increasing water rates to support future projects
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
Further discussion was held on a possible water rate increase by Grant City Council members during their regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 12.
The purpose of an increase would be to have funds on hand for major projects down the road.
The discussion centered around whether it's better to try to build a cash reserve to pay for a major repair by raising rates versus waiting until something big happens and taking out a bond to pay for it.
Rate increases could be as much as eight or nine dollars a month for water users if council decides to raise rates enough to build the reserve.
Water rates have not increased for over five years.
"We've been living on equity," said Mayor Mike Wyatt. "Now it's time to pay the piper."
During a meeting in late September, council members took a look at water, sewer, waste and electric rates, breaking down the city's future infrastructure needs into facilities, equipment, inventory and potential projects.
At the city's next meeting on Oct. 26, council members will be presented with a resolution concerning water rate increases, said City Superintendent Tyson McGreer. It will be up to members to decide whether to increase rates the first of the year.
Some of the items listed for potential repair or installation in the future include a backup generator for well six at an estimated cost of $60,000; a new water main from First to Eighth Street on Washington which is a $240,000 cost estimate; $90,000 for a water main replacement on Fifth Street from Central to Logan; a new water main from First to Eighth on Logan that could cost as much as $250,000; a water main on Sherman, $130,000; all of Sixth Street on the west side of Central, $110,000; and a new main from Hall to Warren on Third Street that is estimated at $30,000.
Among the top 10 itemized projects for the water department was water meters at a cost of $700,000.
Next spring the water tower is scheduled for cleaning and inspection which has not been done for seven years. The fee of $10,000 is included in the budget.
Also listed on the 10-year plan is repainting the water tower—an estimated cost of $75,000. The 200,000 gallon capacity tower was last painted in 1991.
In Other Business
Other agenda items at last week's meeting included:
• Members were informed of a new Eagle Scout project slated to begin at the cemetery.
The city's cemetery board approved replacing pulleys, ropes and clips on the flag poles as an Eagle Scout project of Christian Miyamoto.
• Council members unanimously approved the mayoral recommendation of Shannon Malmkar to the Airport Advisory Committee. He replaces Larry Harden who resigned from the committee.
It was stated that Malmkar owns several airplanes and has a vested interest in the airport and its operation.
His term will expire in 2012.
• In a 4-0 vote, council members approved a 2011 maintenance agreement with the Nebraska Department of Roads. Mayor Wyatt was given the approval to sign the $1,100 snow removal contract.
• At $55 per acre, Josh Day Farms was given an extended three-year lease agreement on the city's ground. Members approved the extended lease in a 4-0 vote. Payments will be due twice a year.
• An electric billing surcharge increase of 25 cents per month was unanimously approved by council at the recommendation of Glenn Taubenheim, president of the Board of Public Works.
Water/Lotto Reports
• Water: There was a 3.5 million gallon decrease in water usage during September compared to August. There were 20,474,200 gallons used in September.
This is also a decrease from the same month one year ago.
• Lotto: Sales at DJ's totaled $9,619 for September with a payout of $5,060, leaving a net of $4,559 and $1.50 unclaimed.

Before we start I would like to give thanks to my cousin Allan who was instrumental over the years in nudging me towards this decision and who is presently active on a daily basis in helping me on the crucial day to day details .
I would like to also thank my wife JoAnne for realizing that we could do this together and thank her for having given her blessing to this endeavor as well as her organizational skills and help in the decisions that we have made and will be making along the way.
Last, but not least thank you Guy and Gladice ( My Father & Mother in law ) for all the help and for having opened their home to us as we build this dream home of ours.
So here we go, follow along and I do hope this inspires you to get out and just do it !

What is Social Work?
Social work is a profession devoted to helping people function the best they can in their environment. This can mean providing direct services or therapy directly to clients. It also can mean working for change to improve social conditions. Social workers help clients deal not only with how they feel about a situation but also with what they can do about it.
Social Work in a Medical Setting
Medical social workers are social workers who help people who are in hospital. Their main role is to help patients and their families with any psychological, emotional, social or practical difficulties during their hospital stay.
This can mean working directly with patients and their families to help them deal with their feelings about a situation and advocating for them (speaking up for their best interests) to explore what can be done about it.
Social workers help people function as best they can in their daily lives and provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment to talk through any concerns.
Social Work in the Mater Hospital
The Mater University Hospital has offered a social work service for over 50 years. There is a team of professionally qualified medical social workers in the hospital. Medical social workers work as part of the medical and surgical teams.

Match edge trim to plywood
Plywood's dimensional stability makes it great for many projects, but it usually doesn't stain to the same hue as the solid-wood banding along its edges. Here are three fixes.
Staining Plywood Veneer
Adhesive beneath a plywood veneer can throw off stain penetration compared with solid wood, whether on an edge-banded shelf or a bookcase made from plywood sides and a solid-wood frame. Try these simple tricks to help your project parts look like they came from the same tree.
•Stain helps equalize minor color differences, but it can make matters worse when it highlights the pores of mismatched grain. First minimize the challenge by matching the grain pattern of the banding to the plywood grain, as shown in the photo.
•Avoid smearing squeeze-out across the surface during glue-up, or you'll end up with light spots on top of your other color-matching problems.
If you anticipate staining mismatches, make practice glue-ups of finish-sanded scrap plywood or veneered MDF and solid wood to experiment with these three solutions:

One step at a time, is what I have to tell myself.
OTOH, his aphorism is one I'd definitely put out there for everyone in the world coming up. A far better goal is to have them! Studies prove!

Otitis media is one of the most frequent diseases of childhood. On account of the size of the aural canal and the tympanic membrane, it is difficult to obtain sterile cultures from the middle ear.
A method will be described whereby pus can be aspirated from the middle ear, and the organism can be cultured and isolated; it has proved satisfactory, and we believe that it can be easily carried out.
This study was made on children from 2 months to 2 years of age, selected indiscriminately, when the clinical evidence of otitis media was present.
The contents of the middle ear are obtained by means of a specially made needle, 19 gage, 3½2 inches (8.9 cm.) long. To the needle, a glass observation tube (glass window) is added. A piece of soft rubber tubing, 3 inches (7.6 cm.) long is placed between the observation tube and a glass

"In die Natur hineingehen und in dieser Natur ein- und ausatmen und in dieser Natur nichts als tatsächlich und für immer Zuhause zu sein, das empfände er als das höchste Glück. In den Wald gehen, tief in den Wald hinein, sagte der Burgschauspieler, sich gänzlich dem Wald überlassen, das ist es immer gewesen, der Gedanke, nichts anderes, als selbst Natur zu sein."
― Thomas Bernhard, Woodcutters.
For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow.
Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail.
A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.
When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. Let God speak within you, and your thoughts will grow silent. You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one's suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother.
So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.
- Hermann Hesse

LOVES PARK (WIFR) -- This will go down as a year to remember when it comes to good jobs coming to Rockford. First, Chrysler unveiled its 18 hundred job expansion plan and now another Stateline staple announced its bringing hundreds of high paying jobs to the Stateline
Woodward CEO Tom Gendron comes from the company's Fort Collins Colorado headquarters with the major announcement that they have selected the Loves Park area for their new campus. Loves Park Mayor Darryl Lindberg says it's like hitting a home run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
It's a $200,000,000 expansion for a brand new Loves Park facility. Gendron says that translates into hundreds and eventually over a thousand jobs coming to the Stateline over the next decade. The Stateline had some stiff competition from Wisconsin and South Carolina to land this expansion.
"First it starts with the talent pool we have here and the numbers and as we're evaluating various facilities and sites, what came back was we have this incredible workforce here. We want to build on it," says CEO Gendron of his rationale for choosing Loves Park over other locations.
Due to all the recent successes and contract wins, Gendron expects the workforce at Woodward to double in size in the upcoming years, which means about 1500 jobs. On the short term, they are expecting to hire 660 good jobs over the next three years.
"If it's on the engineering side it's in the excess of 60 to 80 thousand dollars, maybe higher for senior engineers. If those are manufacturing jobs then total compensation is still in 40-50 thousand dollar range so on aggregate these are very high paying jobs compared to all other area jobs," said Aircraft Turbine Systems President Sagar Patel.
The new production facility will be built three and a half miles from the current North Second Street Woodward building. The 300,000 square foot building will be built on 70,000 acres on Harlem Road in between Perryville and Forest Hills Road. Both the acreage and building size are about double the size of the North Second Street facility. Woodward leaders plan on picking a contractor to build the facility early next month. The plan is to break ground this fall and have it up and running by the second half of 2013.
Although Woodward plans to bring 660 jobs in three years and a possible 1,500 this decade, it does not include the construction jobs and those in the supply and service sector.
In addition to the added jobs at Woodward, local leaders say for every one job Woodward adds, it will create another full-time job in a different sector. So now we're talking about thousands of jobs.
With more jobs at Woodward, this means other businesses will thrive too, from restaurants to retail. It's possible we could also see a boom in our housing market as employees move to the area. Almost every little thing you can think of will feel the economic impact.
"When we look at that campus we're looking at all the stuff around it, people are going to have to buy gas, they're going to have to buy houses, groceries, kids will go to school here so there's just a lot of spinnoff," said Loves Park Mayor Darryl Lindberg.
"These are jobs that pay at a level where people can buy a house, invest in our community, have disposable income, and shop in our area," said Janyce Fadden with the Rockford Area Economic Development Council.
An independent study by Northern Illinois University shows Woodward's impact will only grow larger over the next decade.
They estimate that Woodward will support close to 6,000 jobs in the community by 2021, generating nearly half a billion dollars in compensation. The study estimates that in that same time the resulting economic output on an annual basis will be 2.4 billion dollars.
While things have been tough for others in this economy, Woodward has thrived, winning several contracts recently with Aerbus and Boeing. In fact, CEO Tom Gendron said every commercial plane in production right now has at least some parts made at Woodward in the Stateline. Also, because it is the aerospace industry, they have to look at least 5-7 years ahead on any decision. In fact Gendron says today's expansion marks at least a 50 year commitment.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you for your question.
In Indiana, this would actually be charged as "Contributing to the delinquincy of a minor", and could be either a Class A Misdemeanor or Class C felony if the person giving the alcohol to the child was at least 21 years old.
The relevant statute reads in part:
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor IC 35-46-1-8Sec. 8. (a) A person at least eighteen (18) years of age who knowingly or intentionally encourages, aids, induces, or causes a person less than eighteen (18) years of age to commit an act of delinquency (as defined by IC 31-37-1 or IC 31-37-2) commits contributing to delinquency, a Class A misdemeanor.
However, the offense described in subsection (a) is a Class C felony: if:
(A) the person committing the offense is at least twenty-one (21) years of age and knowingly or intentionally furnishes:
(i) an alcoholic beverage to a person less than eighteen (18) years of age in violation of IC 7.1-5-7-8 when the person committing the offense knew or reasonably should have known that the person furnished the alcoholic beverage was less than eighteen (18) years of age;
All a prosecutor would need to establish therefore is that a person knowingly or intentionally gave alcohol to a minor to sustain a conviction. All the police would need to actually charge or arrest someone is a reasonable, good faith belief that a crime has been committed.
I recently found out someone over 21 provided my daughter with alcohol. I have no physical proof of this other than I confronted my daugther and she told me it happened. Would I be able to present a good enough case to get a conviction without physical proof of this? I don't think my daughter would testify to this and I'm afraid it would be a "he says, she says" situation and I would be wasting my time and money.
Thank you for your reply.
There shouldn't be any cost involved to you because you would be reporting the providing of alcohol to the authorities to investigate. If you daughter wouldn't be willing to testify however, it sounds unlikely that a prosecutor would even have enough information to go on, because as you said, it would be a case of "he said, she said" and they may choose not to even file criminal charges in such a situation.
