I would not buy this product again
By frustrated home owner
from mesa,arizona
We bought enough to do our entire house, so far we have done a formal front room, 2 kids bedrooms and an office. In the front room we never go in it and dont have any furniture in it and already the flooring has chipped. We were hoping to put a pool table in the room but now have to remove all of the laminate and pick another flooring because I dont think it will withstand the weight of a pool table or frequent use of the room. The boards are difficult to lock and dont stay in place. We have had the flooring installed for a year and we are making plans to tear it up and replace it. Im also stuck with 850 sq ft that we arent going to intall because its such a poor quality. We got it dirt cheap so I had low expectations but it is defiently not worth the time and work installing it when it doesnt even last a year.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Value, Looks Fantastic!
By Lizzylou726
from St. Louis, MO
We decided to put this flooring in our newest rental and were a little apprehensive since it was so cheap but it was a GREAT decision! A few pieces were damaged on the corners but we just cut the ends off and used them in a closet. I am planning on purchasing more for our next rental. It is very thin so you have to be careful laying the floor but it's worth the extra care. Looks much more upscale than the normal laminate we use in our rentals (more blonde looking).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For the price this flooring unbeatable. I installed just under 400 sq. ft and had no issues with any of the flooring.
The service was great. When I placed the order the price was .49 sq.ft while waiting for the delivery the item went on sale for .29 sq. ft. I contact lumber luiqidator and the did a refund for the difference in price.

Lovely Look for the Price
By HandyWomanJas
from Jackson, MS
I was looking for an alternative to carpet since I have 3 dogs that stay inaide. And with carpet smells are absorbed easily. Saw the price of .49 a sq ft and bought for the front room. It was a breeze to put down. At first I had help. But once I got the hang of it I was able to lay on my own. I had boxes left over from the front room and used the remaining boxes in one of the bedrooms with hopes to order more. Well with the price jump I will be ordering a different kind. Back on subject the floor looks amazing and I have been receiving alot of compliments on the color of it. Not to dark and not to light.

Good Product for the Cost
By Tom
from Warren, MI
I bought this product to replace two basement bedroom carpets which had got wet during a flooding issue we had here in SE Michigan. I used the 6 mil blue sheeting over bare concrete, then added the Quiet Walk padding and then the flooring. So far so good. Looks great and seems like it will be durable.It snaps together fairly easily. I used a circular saw and had no issues even on long cuts, no splintering.Another flood would probably ruin this floor since the laminate is bonded to 6mm thick wood. But 1. Floods from rain only happen every 100 years or so around here and 2. The cost (0.49 /sq. ft.). We used it instead of the much more expensive water resistance stuff. The first bedroom I did at 10 X 12 only cost about $60 for the flooring itself.Normal spills on the floor should be no issue if cleaned up quickly since the vinyl laminate is a very hard coating and the seams are fairly tight.

For once, the matchup between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos isn't all about the quarterbacks.
With Peyton Manning in a walking cast and Tom Brady's supporting cast in disarray, this showdown in the snow Sunday night likely comes down to which dominant defense handles the atmosphere, the pressure and the passer the best.
"Obviously when you say the New England Patriots, you think Tom Brady, but this defense is going to be the best defense we played all year," Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders said.
Same goes for the Patriots.
Brady was equally impressed by Denver's pass rushers, led by Von Miller, and coverage men paced by Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr.
"These guys, it's a lot of tough, tight coverage," Brady said. "They put a lot of pressure on you. I think that's the mark of a good defense is putting pressure on the offense. ... They've limited teams to yards, points, turnovers, sacks, first-down defense. They're impressive in every statistical category."
Brock Osweiler won at Chicago last weekend in his first start after serving as Manning's backup for the first 62 games of his NFL career. He thought he was getting punked when told he'd been chosen AFC offensive player of the week.
"I didn't believe it at first. I really didn't. I thought everybody was joking with me," Osweiler said, laughing.
Manning was in good spirits himself after seeing a foot specialist and getting a plan for his recovery and rehab, one that could see him return to the lineup in late-December if all goes well.
Brady says he'll miss matching up with his long-time rival quarterback. But he'll likely miss not having some key parts on offense even more, particularly injured Julian Edelman, who is out, and Danny Amendola, who is unlikely to play. Aaron Dobson went on injured reserve this week.
"There's nobody that has more respect for Peyton than me, outside of probably his parents, his brother," Brady said. "If anybody can appreciate what Peyton has accomplished, it's me. He's just been remarkable in every part of his career. He's been a tremendous player."
So has Brady, of course. He has won five of his last six against Denver, passing for 17 touchdowns and two interceptions.

I just learned something really cool (and scary)...
So I had saved some article on my hard-drive, and at the top of a the page was a hyperlink to whatever website it came from.
When I clicked on the hyperlink, it took me to this path in FireFox...
...which in turn displays all directories on my MacBook at the Root Level.
That's crazy?! (:
Should I be scared or anything?! :-/

Thanks for the link.
Is there any practical application for what I stumbled across last night?
Do you personally ever do anything with this?

Okay, thanks!

Shabana Basij-Rasikh
Educator; 2014 Emerging Explorer
Photograph by David LeRoy Hunsaker
Educator Shabana Basij-Rasikh was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan. She attended high school in the United States through an exchange program and then earned her degree at Middlebury College in Vermont. During college, she co-founded School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA), a nonprofit to give young Afghans access to quality education abroad and jobs back home. She also founded HELA, a nonprofit organization to empower Afghan women through education. After graduating, she returned to Kabul to turn SOLA into the nation's first boarding school for girls. She is the president of the nonprofit school that provides college preparatory courses and helps graduates enter universities worldwide and return to substantive careers in Afghanistan, where students often become the first women to enter certain fields. SOLA has helped girls from dozens of provinces across the country access more than $7.7 million in scholarships.
In Their Words
The most effective antidote to the Taliban is to create the best educated leadership generation in Afghanistan's history. Our girls today—the women of tomorrow—will make it happen.

Recipe: La Fogata's Guava Empanadas
Updated 12:10 pm, Monday, May 20, 2013
Makes 8 servings
To make four large empanadas, use the larger amounts of cream cheese and guava listed. Divide both ingredients equally among the rounds of dough.
4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups water
5 1/3-8 ounces cream cheese, softened
5 1/3-8 ounces guava paste
Vegetable oil, as needed for frying
Powdered sugar, as needed for dusting
Instructions: Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening and add water, tossing with fork.
Gather into ball; let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Divide into eight pieces. (La Fogata then puts two pieces of dough together; we preferred to use the single piece of dough.) Roll out dough to size of small tortilla.
Food & Drink Channel
Place cream cheese and guava on one side of the dough, then fold dough in half with the top half a little short of the bottom half. Pinch edges together so it doesn't open when cooking. La Fogata makes a rope design, but you can use the tines of a fork to press the empanada together.
Heat oil to 375 degrees; fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Empanadas also can be baked (350 degrees for 18-25 minutes until lightly brown). Sprinkle on powdered sugar. Can be served with ice cream, if desired.
Per serving: Makes 4-8 servings, each (without frying oil, based on 8) 470 calories (38.1 percent calories from fat), 20 g fat, 20 mg cholesterol, 190 mg sodium, 65 g carbohydrates, 2 g dietary fiber, 8 g protein.
Per tablespoon of oil used for frying: 120 calories (100 percent calories from fat), 14 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 0 mg sodium, 0 g carbohydrates, 0 g dietary fiber, 0 g protein.

There's no way I'd be caught making a recipe that requires more than 10 minutes of prep time on a weeknight. When I get home from work, I eat really simple things like leftovers from the weekend, or easy-to-throw-together soups, salads and omelets.
But weekends are a different story. I like to cook up a storm on the weekends, eating and serving all kinds of fancy stuff on Saturdays and Sundays, usually big-batch recipes like casseroles and soups that I can refrigerate or freeze for busier days. Last night I made Ellie Krieger's Macaroni and Four Cheeses (cheddar, jack, ricotta and Parmesan), which doesn't actually take that long to make (43 minutes from start to finish) but it makes for good leftovers to take to lunch. It's made with pureed butternut squash (use frozen or if you happen to have leftover roasted butternut, mash that up and put that in there) so you can feel good about getting a serving of vegetables with your mac and cheese — and it won't taste all squashy, I swear — it's creamy and cheesy with a crunchy top, just the way mac and cheese should be. The recipe calls for elbow macaroni; I like to use whole wheat elbows or small shells, but you can use whichever you prefer.
Ellie Krieger's Macaroni and Four Cheeses
Serves: 8
Cooking spray
1 pound elbow macaroni
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen pureed winter squash
2 cups 1 percent lowfat milk
4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 ounces Monterrey jack cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender but firm, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, place the frozen squash and milk into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the squash with a spoon until it is defrosted. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.
"More consumers in 2012 will become 'Flexitarians,' those that consciously reduce their meat intake for health reasons but still occasionally enjoy animal protein. One of the best evidences of this trend is the growing popularity and social media following of the nonprofit Meatless Monday initiative, developed in association with John Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health."

"Hold a true friend with both of your hands." Nigerian Proverb
I am writing this column as Evie and I are on the US Airways Flight #1578 going from Charlotte, NC to Philadelphia, PA. The purpose of our short trip was to attend the funeral service for Ruth Marie Storms who at 78 years of age entered heaven a few days ago.
Don and Ruth Storms have been special friends to Evie and me since we first came to VFCC in 1997. Because they are alumni, Class of 1955, their roots go deep on the VFCC family.
Their help to the mission and ministries of VFCC has been profound and the Storms Research Center is the tangible evidence of their passion for their alma mater. But this column is not about their generosity or their legacy to the college. Rather, it is about the lives they lived together and, especially, the life of Ruth.
In previous columns I have mentioned the value of attending funerals. There is nothing that helps bring life's priorities into better focus than to join the family and friends of a loved one whose earthly journey has ended.
Don and Ruth were married 58 years. From age 16 there was no one else she ever loved. And to see them together and the way they looked at each other left no doubt that their love only increased over the years. Most of us referred to them as if their names were one word: DonandRuth.
We arrived at their church where we joined more than a thousand people to honor a life well-lived. The service was filled with lifelong musings of lives that had been changed by Ruth's influence. The music ministered deeply to all of us of our hope beyond the grave.
"You need to be the best you YOU can be," was one of the "Ruthisms" which were cited. A son remembered receiving a "C" grade and, after throwing himself on the bed like a little girl as he was overcome with grief for his low grade Ruth, his mother, came into the room, saw his report card and her son flung on the bed, and she simply said, "Oh, you need to get a life."
Here are some of the other memorable comments which were shared:
~ Son-in-law: My wife learned what it meant to be a wife by the way her mother could always "stand by her man."
~ Son-in-law: I was a Gypsy but Ruth totally accepted me. She was always everything you needed her to be; not always what you wanted her to be.
~ Friend: As George Washington said, "True friendship is a plant of slow growth." We met for the first time 45 years ago. And because my father abandoned me at age four, I learned forgiveness from Ruth.
~ Friend: I've kept every note and letter she ever wrote to me over the last 36 years. They are all full of Ruthisms. I will miss her for the rest of my life.
~ Son: Although my parents have had extraordinary success and they have also experienced extraordinary loss including some dear friends, at the end of the day the real Ruth Storms was rarely rattled.
~ Pastor: We can do this (reminisce together) because friends can do this. I've know the family for 30 years. We have been through all kinds of times together. Ruth was regal with a lot and she was regal with a little. Her favorable nods during my sermons helped alleviate my greatest anxieties when I thought I might be out on a limb. I almost feel as though we should give her an applause for a life well lived.
As our plane lands I am reminded of the poet's words, "Death is not extinguishing the light. It is turning out the lamp because the dawn has come." Yes, for Ruth Storms, "the dawn has indeed now come."

It is hard for me to believe that Christmas is past, that a new year has begun, and that I have been traveling for over five months. I've had none of the familiar indicators of passing time. I've jumped time zones and seasons. I've felt the crispness of fall, the heat of deep summer, and the promise of early spring in the same week. My internal clock has been rewound, fast-forwarded, and rewound again. If not for the watch on my left hand, I would have a hard time noting the day of the week, let alone the day of the month.
Physically, there are few changes to note. The sun has left me tanned (okay, freckled) and highlighted. An Indian hairdresser, distracted by her own description of the impending end of the world, chopped half my hair. Miles walked have calloused my feet. I can't be bothered to wear make-up.
If I measure time internally, in my own growth and understanding, surely years have passed. Surely 2012 has lasted a decade. It has brought me from the safe confines of undergraduate life into the frenzy and beauty of the nomadic; from a class schedule to a schedule of constant improvisation; from book learning in the library to marinating in knowledge and culture. To travel is to learn. Incessantly. Unceasingly. Every day is new. Every day requires you to adapt; to figure out where you are, where you need to go, and how you need to get there.
Travel stretches the realm of "possible." You begin to think, and to dream, bigger. You have a wider lens of understanding. You realize you see life in a new way, but you can't really point to when this happened. Because you are constantly growing.
And you can never turn back.
And this is great.
In 2012, I began an incredible journey. I realize more and more every day how this journey is shaping my life, my future. And while it has been solo, I have by no means been alone. Friends and family have been a constant support. Strangers have become friends. They have guided me on the streets, safeguarded me on buses, welcomed me into their homes, and even nursed me back to health. 2012 has given me a new faith in humanity, in the goodness of people. For this, I feel blessed beyond reason.
To all those who have been a part of my 2012, I thank you, a million times over.
And now,
Let the adventures continue.
Bring on Twenty Thirteen.

I consider myself an equal opportunity shopper. If it's an item I like, it doesn't matter where it comes from. And believe me I will shop high and low for something I like. Did I forget to mention I also love a deal? Yes I do! Well…hello there 10DollarMall.com…where "Everything is $10 or Less!"
You read that right…everything is $10 or less! And yes unlike some other deal sites, this one does have a Plus Size section with tops, bottoms, dresses, lingerie, and outerwear. They also carry straight sizes for women, mens, boys and girls. Along with accessories, bags, jewelry, watches, makeup, and shoes. You can really shop for the whole family here…except for Big & Tall. Hint…hint.
I spent $75 on 10DollarMall.com and walked away with a jacket, dress, workout pants, a floral scarf, necklace, nail polish, handbag, and wallet. You will definitely see them in my outfit posts soon! Oh and on a side note, the items move pretty quickly. A lot of the pieces I ordered aren't on the site anymore. Ummm…wait…do I see a $4.99 clearance section? Seriously, this is a bargain hunters dream.
If you're like me and worried about quality, I'd read the item's review. The items I received were better quality than I had imagined. I will admit, these are not luxury brands you'd find at Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue. But, they are from some of your favorite retailers. Most items are on trend, while others…not so much. But, I think there is something for everyone here.
Signing up on the site is easy and quick and there was a coupon code for 3% off. Shipping was quick and I hear they have an amazing customer service. And you have 365 days to return or exchange any item from your online purchases only. I almost forgot to mention that the workout pants I chose just happened to be from Old Navy's Active Wear line and were only $6.99! Yes…getting a good deal makes me happy.

It's been a week of watching the Olympics and we must confess it can be exhausting work trying to get the dent out of the couch where yours truly has camped out for hours since the fun started in London.
Yes, you know you're an Olympics junkie when...
-- You find yourself in a discussion about the efforts of weightlifter Zulfiya Chinshanlo of Kazakhstan, who set a world record last Sunday...
-- You know that Mongolia's two medals, a silver and bronze, came in judo courtesy Naidan Tuvshinbayar and Saingargal Nyam-Ochir...
-- And thanks to a rabid curiosity and the parade of athletes in the opening ceremonies, you can now point out Kiribati on a map and know that the two main languages spoken on the island nation are English and Gilbertese...
So, with that backdrop we'd like to present what has jumped out for one set of bleary eyes after more than week of Olympic action:
Phenomenal Phelps
One of the great debates emerging from London is whether American swimmer Michael Phelps has earned the title as the greatest Olympian of all time.
It would seem by medal count alone that this would be a slam dunk. Phelps now has 21 overall medals, including 17 gold -- the most of all time in both categories. To put that haul in perspective, consider this: Canada, sending hundreds of athletes to the Games every four years, has 19 gold medals in the last six Olympics combined dating back to 1992 in Barcelona.
Even with all that, some still don't want to anoint Phelps with the "greatest Olympian" honour.
"My personal view is I'm not sure he's the greatest," Sebastian Coe, the great British runner, told reporters in London this week. "But he's certainly the most successful."
And it's here where the anti side of the Phelps-as-the-greatest argument gains some legs. As a swimmer, Phelps participates in a sport that gives him numerous opportunities to succeed and allow him to win multiple events in a single Games whereas, for example, some of the great decathletes in history -- Daley Thompson, Bob Mathias, etc. -- earn just one medal for their efforts.
Our take? The medal haul alone puts Phelps at the front of the discussion, but there is no clear-cut answer. It's like debating Howe vs. Orr vs. Gretzky vs. Lemieux.
The talking heads
For an Olympic diehard, part of the beauty of the Games is how it introduces or reconnects us with many sports that aren't often in the spotlight. And the key to that, we believe, is the call of the play-by-play announcer and analysts.
Our favourites through Week 1:
-- Russ Anber rules in boxing, working with partner Eric Smith. Knows his stuff and calls it as he sees it, including questioning the competency of fighters, referees and officials. The best of the best.
-- Barney Williams in rowing. Working with Rob Faulds, Williams' enthusiasm is infectious and he shouldn't try to hide his Canadian pride.
-- The understated skill of TSN's Rod Smith at the pool. So smooth, so good, it's a wonder the network doesn't get him out of the studio more.
-- Doug Collins, NBC, basketball. Always liked the call of the basketball hall of famer and it's good to see him back after dumping the headset to become the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Most of all, though, with track and field having started on Friday it's hard not to miss the late, great Don Wittman. No slight at all to Gord Miller, who will do an excellent job for TSN, but nobody called track like Witt and Geoff Gowan.
Citius, altius, fortius... and one big, fat disgrace
The Olympic motto -- Faster, Higher, Stronger -- took a few shots this week, but none was more damaging than the four women's doubles badminton teams that were disqualified for purposely losing to land a better spot in the next round.
A Chinese team, two from South Korea and one from Indonesia were punted from the competition in what was the first mass disqualification in Olympic history.
As the athletes mis-hit their serves and fans in the Wembley Arena chanted 'Off! Off! Off!, BBC's David Mercer said on air:
"They're serving fault and fault! They are just hitting the ball into the net! They are both trying to lose, and that is unforgivable. This is the Olympic Games."
Well said, Mr. Mercer.
The South Koreans and Indonesians then followed with the same tactics.
Yu Yang of China later appeared on state TV in China to apologize and has apparently retired, saying "Farewell my dear badminton."
Let's hope the incident also marks a farewell to this kind of sportsmanship.
And finally...
So British cyclist Bradley Wiggins win's England's first gold medal and, afterward, takes to Twitter to update his legions of fans:
'Well what a day, blind drunk at the minute and overwhelmed with all the messages, Thank You everyone it's been emotional X.' -- Bradley Wiggins (@bradwiggins)
Whether old-time journalists like it or not -- and, for the record you can find me at @WFPEdTait -- Twitter is everywhere and athletes are reaching out to their faithful through this medium.
All this doesn't mean, however, that athletes have yet to figure out how to use Twitter properly. Case in point: two participants -- Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella and Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou -- were banned from the Olympics for racist Tweets.

Here is an interesting article from 2006 about boot-related injuries. It is critical of the USFSA for not investing in research in boot design.
As many as eight out of every 10 elite U.S. skaters suffer boot-related injuries, according to one study, and debilitating hip, knee and back injuries have driven dozens of top prospects out of the sport while still in their mid-teens...
The increase in stress-related injuries can be traced to the elimination of figures from international and national competitions and an emphasis on jumping in the early 1990s. Practice time skaters previously spent perfecting tracing figures in the ice is now spent on landing quadruple jumps by the men, triple jumps by the women.
While figure skating has been revolutionized in the past 15 years by these jumps, the sport's equipment has not kept pace with its athletes...
Some studies estimate that 90 percent of skaters who do triple and quadruple jumps are injured annually, twice the rate for skaters attempting only double jumps.

Started off last Friday by grinding up 5 lbs of quality pork butt from Hirsch's meat market.
5lbs all ground up, spices and cheese mixed in and ready to sit overnight in the fridge.
Before stuffing, make sure to test fry a patty and adjust seasoning as needed.
Stuffed them the next day into 32mm hog casings. Two of them got cooked Saturday as a last minute addition to our menu. Just grilled them up on the Mini Egg.
And the rest sat in the fridge. When I finally got around to cooking them, I got my Egg up to 400F and plopped down a Cast Iron skillet filled with 32 oz of sauerkraut, some yellow onions, a bit of beer, butter, dry mustard, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper and some black pepper.
I let that get warm for about 15 minutes before throwing in my cheddarwurst.
I cooked the wurst for 15 minutes, flipped and another 15 minutes and then put it directly on the grill.
Let that cook about another 10 minutes or so (IT temp was 150) and then pulled it.
Gotta show a sliced shot.
If you look real closely and squint your eyes, you can see a bit of smoke ring even.
•5 lb pork butt, ground
•5 tsp Kosher Salt
•5 tsp sugar
•1 Tb Ground Coriander
•1 Tb Ground Sage
•1 tsp Paprika
•1 tsp fresh Rosemary, finely chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
•1 Tb Dry Mustard
•1 tsp Black Pepper
•1 tsp Nutmeg
•8 oz Cheddar cheese, cubed in ¼" pieces (high temp cheese if you can find it)
•1 cup cold water
•32mm Pork casings; tied off into 6" lengths.

30,000 and Counting!
I am beyond excited to announce that on June 6th, the NSVRC Library achieved a milestone. On this extraordinary day, the library collection reached 30,000! As it stands now, we have surpassed a long awaited goal of reaching and going beyond this fantastic number of unique titles. These are titles that pertain specifically to sexual violence, prevention, and other related topics. It has and continues to be an honor to work for such a special organization and a truly remarkable library.
The NSVRC Library has built a reputation of providing solid quality academic resources to advocates, researchers, practitioners, and the general public. When the NSVRC opened its doors in 2000 with a grant specifically based on the inclusion of a resource library, the NSVRC Library began. In the beginning the materials included in the library were acquired through a call to coalitions. The library began with grey literature, which coalitions either produced or acquired. We now house and have access to a number of scholarly journals and other academic resources.
The library catalog also includes materials housed at the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape's library. These materials are available to PCAR center staff. Those staff members have the opportunity to set up an account where they are free to check out and use the materials specific to the PCAR library. We are also in the process of working with AEquitas The Prosecutors' Resource on Violence Against Women to add their materials to the library collection.
Although my words are the ones put into this blog, I am just one representative of a truly talented library team. Our team consists of a Head Librarian, Research Specialist and a Cataloger. Together we form a solid unit that strives to make the NSVRC Library a continued place of excellence and I am humbled to be a part of it. Please join with me in celebration of this magnificent milestone and thank you to everyone who has been there to make it happen!
GREAT Job NSVRC! Thank you for supporting rape prevention for solong an so well!

PHILADELPHIA – Third-ranked Penn (12-2, 5-2 Ivy) emerged victorious on Senior Day at the Ringe Squash Courts on Sunday, defeating No. 6 Cornell (12-5, 3-4), 7-2. The Quakers will now head up to New Haven, Conn. next weekend for the Howe Cup on the heels of a five-match winning streak.
The Red and Blue started off the day quickly, sweeping the first rotation of matches while dropping just one game. A victory from a senior was how Penn began the match, as Yarden Odinak (6-4, 4-3) bested Margaret Remsen at the sixth position in straight games, 3-0. The next match to finish was at No. 9 where Chloe Blacker (11-1, 5-1) came out on top in four games. Blacker was followed up by another senior win, this time from Rachael Goh (8-3, 4-2) at No. 3. Goh defeated Jamie Laird in straight games for the final match of the first rotation.
Penn needed just two more wins with two rotations – six matches – remaining in order to seal the victory. Senior tri-captain Pia Trikha (8-2, 4-2) started off the rotation with a dominant win at No. 5, taking her match in straight games; 11-7, 11-4, 11-0. Trikha's match went by so fast, that the third rotation battle on that court began and ended before the rest of the second rotation matches finished. That was at the fifth position where Haidi Lala (10-1, 5-1) won the decisive match on the day, beating Abbey Foster in three games. Minutes later, No. 2 Yan Xin (8-3, 4-2) finished her match for a four-game victory over Jessenia Pacheco.
As the last two matches began, a battle at position eight was coming to a close. Carey Celata (6-1, 2-1) had come all the way back to after being down 2-0 early in the match – the freshmen was unable to finish and lost, 3-2, in five games. Camille Lanier (11-1, 5-1) gave Penn its final win of the day at No. 7, trouncing Brynn Daniels in three tough games. The final match of the day was between Nabilla Ariffin (5-6, 2-4) and Danielle Letourneau at the first position. Ariffin managed to win the second game, 11-5, and battle her way to a fourth. The senior was unable to finish, and would retire early in the fourth game after succumbing to an injury.
Tri-captain Stephanie Vogel (10-0, 5-0), who does not play in the top nine, competed in the exhibition match. The senior won the 10th position in straight games in what was possibly her final match ever in a Penn uniform.
The Quakers' 11 victories is their highest win total since they appeared in the 2009-10 Howe Cup finals. Penn will rest in the early going this week, and then prepare for the Howe Cup in New Haven next weekend.

What is cuter than a couple of 2-year-olds at their first dance recital. They have probably been in dance class since the day they started walking. As parents, we know all to well how exciting that first recital can be for the kids and more oftern than not, the parents are much more nervous than the kids because we know how unpredictable very small children can be in these situations.

HOUSTON - Consumer Reports magazine has a new list of cancer-screening tests that it believes are needed and others that should be avoided.
Researchers said average-risk adults can avoid screening for several cancers, including pancreatic, testicular and ovarian cancer.
The tests for those diseases may not be able to detect the illness until later stages, and the risks may outweigh the benefits, experts said.
Experts also said there are tests that should not be avoided and can be life-saving. These tests include colonoscopies, mammograms and pap smears.
"Individuals who are at average risk should talk to their doctor about screening for cervical, colorectal and breast cancer. I would also recommend, although the report doesn't, that men talk to their doctors about the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening and make a personal decision about that," said Dr. Therese Bevers with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. "And that high risk individuals for lung cancer consider lung cancer screening, as there's now data that shows a substantial reduction in deaths if they get screening CT scans."
The report only eliminates certain tests for people who are not considered high-risk. Perhaps due to family history or other medical conditions. As always, experts say you should make those decisions after talking with your doctor.

What are temporary tattoos
Temporary tattoos are water based tattoos which can be directly applied to the body, by a very simple process of transferring an image printed on paper to the body by applying water on the back side of the printed backing paper. The paper is water based which when comes in contact with the water, releases tattoo print on the body.
It is made by use of skin friendly ink which can be washed off as and when required directly or by use of soap and therefore it is termed as temporary tattoo.
Temporary tattoos are the cheapest and the most popular promotional item for distribution among kids. It can be used on any surface like body, plastic, glass, tiles, wood and metal for promotions, advertisements and sales. It is multipurpose and can even be used as an sticker.
It's a preferred promotional item over all other promotional products and is used as the promotional product for promoting confectionery products such as biscuits, bubble gums, candies, peppermints, chocolates, as the boosters at events such as Indian premier league (IPL) as advertisements for cartoon channels such as cartoon network (CN), pogo.
Temporary tattoos are long lasting and are printed on special paper with specially formulated ink. Temporary tattoos are available in small as well as large designs. They are popularly used on the face and arm as armband.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2012 (1727 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THERE'S no cause yet for the fatal Snow Lake air crash, but neither has anything been ruled out.
The Nov. 18 late-morning crash near the Snow Lake airport killed 40-year-old pilot Mark Gogal and injured the seven passengers, all men working for a mining company.
"We don't want to rule anything out at this point," Peter Hildebrand, regional manager for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, told a news conference Tuesday. "We're not identifying the cause at this stage."
Hildebrand said investigators don't know what height the plane reached on takeoff, and "it may not be possible to determine a hard number on that.
"It descended at a steep angle -- it hit the ground and stopped in 50 feet."
Hildebrand displayed a very badly damaged propeller: "It indicated a substantial amount of power was being applied."
Hildebrand said the Cessna 208 had cleared takeoff and had flown about a kilometre on its flight to Winnipeg before suddenly crashing and stopping abruptly on a slight rise of rocky ground and trees.
Investigators have interviewed some of the passengers, but are not prepared to disclose what they've said.
There has been no autopsy report yet on Gogal, said Hildebrand. If the pilot had suffered a health problem, Hildebrand said he would not reveal it at this stage of the investigation.
Snow Lake airport has no radar. "It's uncontrolled airspace. The nearest radar is Thompson and The Pas," and the plane was far too low to be picked up on those radars, he said.
Hildebrand repeatedly cited small aircraft as the most likely to have accidents and the most likely to involve fatalities.
"There is not a certified flight recorder, nor is there required to be," he said, pointing to several recommendations the TSBC has previously made to Transport Canada, without success.
The board has advised Ottawa to add flight recorders to small aircraft, to improve navigational equipment and install a safety-management system, among other improvements, he said.
Gogal Air Services has had previous incidents -- which Hildebrand would not identify -- but, "I won't say this operator's record is better or worse than any other."
In the last decade, said Hildebrand, aircraft of nine or fewer seats accounted for 91 per cent of the air accidents in Canada, and 93 per cent of the fatalities, involving 134 deaths.

Balenciaga Fall 2012
"It's an idea I've had for a few years, about corporate clothes, and business-dressing. I wanted to play with it. So I imagined a company, Balenciaga, Inc., and what all the different women would wear to work there," explained Nicolas Ghesquière, as he was preparing his show yesterday. "And we are inviting you to a real office in the Beaugrenelle business district, which was built in the emerging economy of the seventies through the nineties. They're rebuilding the area." So, bright and early this morning, the massed executives of fashion arrived to report for the Balenciaga corporate presentation for fall. In another of this season's surprise breakouts into immersive experiences, they were whisked to the 27th floor of a glass skyscraper by silent ushers in futuristic jersey uniforms, there to enter a total Ghesquière headspace: a neon-lit "floating" office, located somewhere between the eighties and an edgy vision of what today might be.
Ghesquière's all-female organization marched in—a hierarchy cast as bosses in elaborate dresses with gold-lamé breastplates, middle managers in box-shouldered jackets, interns in sweaters and bomber jackets, creative renegades in pixilated graphic-patterned bustier dresses, techies in parachute-silk overalls, and a cadre of cultlike infiltrators wearing sweatshirts with slogans such as "Join a weird trip" and "Out of the blue." ("They're industrial spies," he said jokingly. "They're here to take over the company!")
As out of the ordinary as the setting and the imaginative narrative may have been, as a collection it was, in the structural sense, Balenciaga business as usual. Ghesquière's quest for new forms is a to-and-fro between conceptual cutting and a fascination with the generics of everyday life. Whether a complex dress or an apparently plain knit, everything is treated to an upgrade with uniquely developed fabrics that allow shapes to appear rounded yet sharp-edged, voluminous yet weightless. A dress can become a collage of deep-banded hems on sheer fabric, with a short opaque skirt beneath. Roomy jackets are squared off, with wide, flat integral flanges running up the sleeves and around the shoulder. Skirts hold a sharp A-line shape without pressed pleats. The compact knitting of an oversize turtleneck defies the bulkiness often associated with wool.
All this technical innovation puts Balenciaga in the forefront of experimentation, placing Ghesquière in a leadership position amongst many younger designers—who consciously or unconsciously assimilate what he does season after season. What none can ape, though, is the authenticity of the complete worldview which informs Ghesquière's creativity: the autobiographical synthesis of early eighties French post-punk (Jacno, to be exact), the sci-fi imagery in the back of his brain (he quoted Michael Clayton and Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence this season), and his interest in applying himself to what women around him might want to wear next. (The answer to the last: definitely the lower-heeled, pointed "business boots" in patchwork combinations of, say, violet jersey or crocodile and leather, and the pannier shoulder bags on abstracted guitar straps, as soon as possible.) To see it all, complete and in situ, took his thinking to another level.

What's being said
Lack of training does not surprise me. Many firms have decided to have unproductive partners coached by outside consultants. To the extent that coaching can help is dependent upon the efforts being focused on the ability of the lawyers to carry on strategic conversations with decision makers about business not the law. For that reason coaching can have limited success. The more important efforts to get lawyers to work in teams focused on the client's business strategy continues to be the major impediment to effective firm-wide business development. Also several coaches have become search consultants that coach the lawyers and then shop them around to other firms. Very clever but problematic.
There will have to be a change in most firms for business development to succeed. Many firms do not have client teams which in this era of lack of loyalty both by clients and lawyers is tragic. Many firms are self-medicating and have little experience in training, creating, and leading client teams. Practice area silos and client hoarding continues to exacerbate the lack of internal teamwork. Firm leadership's reluctance to hold partners accountable for fear of defection is wide spread. Your magazine published an article in the early 1990s: "It's the client , stupid. Nothing has changed since the except firms have become "hotels for lawyers" and free agency has become the new normal.
We have tested the skill levels on 16,000 lawyers with a simple 10 question business development test only to find that 30 out of 16,000 scored 100! The average partner in a law firm today spend 30 hours a year in face-to-face meeting with current clients and prospects. Lack of training, low biz dev hours, and ineffective leadership will continue to plague law firms. It will be the culture of the buyers that will force change. Too often I hear that business development must fit the firm's culture and I quote my favorite law firm culture consultant, John Stuart Mill, "Culture is the perpetual impediment to progress"
True, smart law firms need make choices about how to best allocate training and coaching resources, but I find too often key people who can make significant contributions are passed over for business development training based on a subjective view of personality. See a recent blog post on the same subject called âWhich Lawyers Respond Best to Business Development Coachingâ http://www.lawvisioninsights.com/2012/09/25/which-lawyers-respond-best-to-business-development-coaching-2/ )
A helpful tool for determining which lawyers will respond well to business development training is the Lawyer Behavior Profile. I have used it for years with great success.
Craig Brown
Business development training and coaching is a long term investment. The benefits of this investment may not be seen for months or years. Because of this, law firm leaders can find it difficult to justify the expense which includes salaries for marketing professionals,fees for outside consultants and most importantly, a loss of billable hours.
But a well run law firm should be making this investment. All well run businesses are thinking about and investing in the future. Law firms should be doing the same.
While this survey suggests that many law firm partners do not feel they have been adequately trained in business development, the reality is that a "smart" law firm still has to make some choices about the best way to allocate training and coaching resources. So even though most partners say they want more guidance in this area, firm leadership still needs to decide the best way to allocate those resources. Rather than investing heavily in making sure that every partner has a minimum competency in marketing, it probably makes more sense to allocate the largest percentage of this limited recourse to those partners who have the greatest potential.
In the end, there may still be a large number of partners who feel they do not get the training they need; but from the law firm's perspective, that does not necessarily mean that the firm is making bad choices about budgeting money for training and coaching.

This is an argument I've been making for years. Asked to address a client's Summer interns, I asked them how many had a course on marketing and in management in their law schools. None. How many were told that practice development was an integral part if their career development? None.I then asked "How many of you can swim? Virtually all."How many of you learned to swim by having your parents throw you in the water and said, "Sink or swim?" They laughed. "But, " I said, "Isn't that what your law school is doing to you?"

Palomar College will celebrate its new $24 million performing arts center Friday, Sept. 20, with a concert of music, dance and theater.
The multidiscipline performance would have been a challenge two years ago, because the college's long-obsolete Howard Brubeck Theatre was too big for dance shows and acoustically challenging for concerts. The new 39,311-square-foot complex — which opened for classes Aug. 19 — includes a revamped Brubeck theater, new black box and dance studios, classrooms and offices.
"It's really a renaissance for that particular area of the campus and we're incredibly excited about it. It will really enhance the students' learning experience," said Palomar spokeswoman Laura Gropen.
Construction on the Performing Arts Complex began in July 2011, using money from Prop. M, the $694 million bond passed by voters in November 2006 to modernize the campus.
The new complex envelops the old Brubeck space, a 420-seat theater built in 1979. To enhance acoustics and accommodate new equipment, the auditorium was reduced to 261 seats (or 204 when the new pit is lowered for an orchestra). The new theater includes moving lights, computerized show controls and digital audio mixers. There's also a new box office, lobby and refreshment windows.
Just behind the Brubeck is a new 12,081-square-foot, two-story building that houses the black box theater (meaning it can be reconfigured with different stage and seating layouts), the dance studios, costume and makeup labs, an acting studio, scene shops and storage, classrooms and offices.
Officials will host a grand opening ceremony at 1 p.m. Friday. At 7 p.m., a concert featuring works by 26 dance, music and theater teachers will be presented on the new Brubeck stage. Tickets are $15, or $10 for students. Call (760) 744-1150, ext. 2453 or

Therein again lies the the problem of the pun. Caco played off of the first-person singular present tense (I [do something] of cogito. Anders' use of the the noun coitus emphasized the act itself, implying that the speaker's being is not a result of his own doing, which is reinforced even more by the third-person plural imperfect tense coibant. To return to Descartes' original premise, that the speaker is a result of his own action (thinking, for good ol' René), requires a return to the first-person singular present tense, coeo.
Still, there is no need for a one-size-fits-all philosophy. Celibates can (and do) exist even if they only cogitate about it!

Prix Pictet: Power
1 Feb, 2014 - 18 May, 2014
Prix Pictet, an annual juried prize, uses photography as an instrument to shed light on important social and environmental issues. Each year it selects one theme on which to focus. The first three themes were Water, Earth and Growth. Now in its 4th installment, Prix Pictet has selected Power as the subject of this year's exhibition.
Photography professionals from around the world, including MOPA's Executive Director, Deborah Klochko, nominated over 650 photographers from 76 countries for the prize. A jury then whittled down that list, based on both artistry and the illustration of this year's theme, to a final short list of twelve. These twelve photographers are featured in the exhibition with Luc Delahaye winning the actual Prix Pictet award.
MOPA will have 56 images on display from the 12 featured artists. They are:

BATH are awaiting the medical verdict on Matt Garvey's ankle to see if the back rower will be available for the final weeks of the season.
Flanker Garvey went over on his ankle after a lineout during Sunday's Amlin Challenge Cup semi final victory at Wasps with the club hoping his campaign hasn't been brought to an abrupt end by the blow.
Bath have seen Carl Fearns return in recent weeks while South African international Francois Louw is also nearing a comeback but first-team coach Toby Booth admitted the loss of Garvey, 26, was a setback ahead of Friday's Aviva Premiership home appointment with second-placed Northampton.
"Garvs is not in a great shape. He's with the consultants to see the extent of the damage but it's not going to be short term I don't think,'' said Booth.
"He came down poorly at a lineout and rolled his ankle. He's a big guy and when you come down from a height you're always going to take a little bit of damage.
"He's still on crutches and in a boot but you've got to wait for the swelling to go down and the consultants to have a look. We don't know if it's his season over.''
Garvey has played in all but two of Bath's Premiership fixtures this season since moving from London Irish last summer and Booth added: "It's bitterly disappointing because he was exceptional on Sunday and has been one of our leading players throughout the year.
"We're disappointed for him but we are a tight squad and Carl Fearns has come back from injury great and Flouw is pretty much where he needs to be. He won't make it this week but will be there soon after."
Bath will also be without Semesa Rokoduguni for Friday's match as he plays in the Army v Navy game at Twickenham on Saturday.

Leon Legge has not featured too heavily for Brentford this season, but even he is getting that winning feeling at the Bees.
The 27-year-old centre back has made only 11 appearances this term and has only been on the losing side twice – in the league against Yeovil Town and Southend United in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The former non-League footballer, voted Brentford's player of the year in 2010, has only started six of those games as Harlee Dean an Tony Craig have established themselves as boss Uwe Rosler's central defensive pairing of choice this season.
But Legge, in his fourth campaign at Griffin Park since being plucked by Andy Scott from Tonbridge Angels, insists he is still enjoying life with the Bees.
Particularly, with his first professional club – in the middle of a good run of form after Wednesday's 3-1 at Colchester United – well placed to launch a promotion bid at the turn of the year.
"We've got keep winning and get further in the cup and in the keep," he said after last week's cup win over Bradford City.
"Winning can be infectious and we just need to keep that mentality.
"Everyone is buzzing at the moment there is a good feeling at the club and we want to give it a real go this year.
"We are playing some really good football at the moment.
"Even when we are going 1-0 down we are coming back playing good football and scoring good team goals too.
"We're just playing really good.
"I talked to someone the other day this is my fourth season hear since coming from Tonbridge and it has just flown by and I'm still enjoying it."
Boss Rosler has emphasised the importance of performing well over the festive period, but feared playing 30 minutes of extra-time againt Bradford had not helped his side's preparations for the busy schedule, but Legge, left, admitted he needed the run-out more than most.
"I haven't played much for a while," he added.
"I thought I was alright against Bradford City and I thought I needed 120 mintes to be honest."
Brentford have been boosted by news this week that midfielder Harry Forrester will remain at the club until the end of the season, with a view to staying at Griffin Park should the Bees win promotion.
Forrester's current contract runs out at the end of the season and speculation the former Aston Villa youngster would move on in the January transfer window has been growing - but he has stated his ambition to see out his deal.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Richard Lee has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep the 30-year-old at the club until the end of next season.

HOUSTON - The day after state Sen. Mario Gallegos Jr. died, some were working on the task of retaining his Senate seat.
He was running for re-election against Republican Rasuali Bray, who intends to campaign for the State Senate District 6 seat.
Democrats said they plan to fight hard to hold on to the seat.
"We are continuing to tell people to vote a straight Democratic ticket," said Lane Lewis with the Harris County Democratic Party. "We have every confidence that Sen. Gallegos is going to win re-election and after that happens it will be up to the governor to set the parameters of a special election to fill that slot."
Republicans are on the verge of gaining a two-thirds majority in the Texas senate, but Gallegos' district is considered strong for Democrats.
A special election is would likely attract a crowded field of candidates. Lewis said Democrats want someone who will continue Gallegos' legacy.
"A strong fighter, someone who is vocal, someone who, like Sen. Gallegos, never lost sight of the average folk and continued to fight. That's what we need," he said.
The Gallegos family is still working on funeral services. They plan to have a service in Houston and a memorial in Austin.

"A good, basic recipe that is very flexible. I added more seasoning (Mrs. Dash, garlic powder, onion powder), as per my family's preference, as well as a can of beef gravy. With all the leftover vegetables I had on hand, this recipe made a huge pot of soup. I even froze a portion of it. If you have never cooked barley before, don't be intimidated---it is easy. I followed the package directions and it turned out perfect."

Ok, so I finally stopped procrastinating over the weekend and cooked four racks of St Louis spares, a whole pork shoulder, and a whole packer brisket. After cooking all the meats I went the extra step of actually making some turn-in boxes as well...it was a competition cook, afterall. I won't bore you with the details, but here is where we wound up...
I made a bunch of ribs:
And boxed them as such:
Next up is pork shoulder. This is two pictures of the same box; one with a flash and one without. I'll leave it to you to figure out which is which, LOL. The vertical row on the left is sliced money muscle, top right is medium sized pulled pork, and bottom right are thumb-sized chunks from a different part than the pulled.
Then finally was the beef brisket. Same deal as pork...one with flash and one without but otherwise both the same box. I give you sliced brisket flat and burnt ends.
And there we have it. Everything came out great; had some happy neighbors once they found out they were getting some. Still have a bunch left over yet that I'll have to, um, force myself to eat.
