I'm just curious. I don't have a lot of dating experience so I just want to make sure I'm right about this. I mean what other possibilities would there be? Guys seem so filthy minded these days that they don't know how to have a sleep over without trying to hook up and thinking about sex...
Girls, what have your personal experiences been with this subject? Guys, if you ask a girl to sleep over, do you have intentions to hook up with her?
Thank you :)
Most Helpful Girl
Yes, that's usually what is implied when he asks for a sleepover. However, just because that's what HE wants, doesn't mean you have to follow through. Your wants are still just as important. So in my opinion, I wouldn't agree to sleepover until you're comfortable with a hookup. And if a sleepover happens, and you decide you're not ready, then just say so and cuddle. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, even if hooking up is on his mind. All guys, good and bad, are going to want to get physical with an attractive girl they like. They're usually comfortable with this much quicker than us girls are.
The difference between the good and bad guy is how they react to you saying "no." Does he get mad? Kick you out? Quit calling? That's a bad guy you want nothing to do with anyway. On the other hand, is he understanding? Fine with cuddling? Just as sweet with you? That's a good guy who's interested in more.32|10|0

SEATTLE (CBS/AP) King County prosecutors have charged Seattle high school teacher Taryn Fairbanks with having sex with a 17-year-old student during a party at his home when his parents were out of town.
Spokesman Dan Donohoe says the 33-year-old faced a charge of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor on July 13.
Fairbanks taught language arts at Garfield High School and advised the school newspaper. She was hired in 2006.
Police detectives investigating school rumors questioned Fairbanks July 6.
She said she had an alcohol relapse at the time of June 23 party. She said she had dropped by the party to drop off supplies for a school newspaper retreat.
The Seattle Times also reports Fairbanks married a man last year who graduated from Kentlake High School in 2003 when she was a teacher there.
Police say there were no allegations of misconduct at the school in Kent.
Fairbanks has since resigned from her job at Garfield High School and moved to Las Vegas, according to The Seattle Times.
The newspaper reports Fairbanks and her husband are now getting divorced.

A WEAVERHAM pensioner has praised the 'fantastic' work of Northwich police officers after they tracked down and returned his stolen mobility scooter.
Roy Yearsly was left virtually housebound after the £850 machine was pinched from outside his house in Walnut Avenue six weeks ago.
But after detective work by Nortwhich PCs Peter Cole and David Macfarlane, the 75-year-old is able to get out and about again.
"It's absolutely fantastic. The police officers have done a great job," said Roy.
"I'd left it round the side of the house and they stole it while I was in bed.
"I have trouble getting to the shops without it. I've realised now that it will actually fit through the front door, so I can keep it safe inside from now on.
"I wasn't really expecting it back, but it's been returned in brilliant condition."
So resigned was Roy to losing his transport, that he went out and got another scooter to replace it.
"I've taken that back to the shop now, but for a short time both scooters were outside the front door.
"The neighbours must have thought I'd won the pools. It looked like I had one for during the week and one for the weekends!"
After Roy reported the theft, officers were able to trace the scooter to a local address.
Police have arrested a 39-year-old Weaverham man in connection with offence.

SWINDON Town manager Mark Cooper has suggested that it will be "difficult for the owner to fork out any more money" until the legal disputes involving current chairman Lee Power and Seebeck 87 Ltd are resolved.
The case of Swinton Reds 20 Ltd - the company publicised as taking charge of the football club in December - against former chairman Jed McCrory was adjourned in a London courtroom on Tuesday, as Swinton continue to seek an injunction preventing Seebeck from placing three new directors on the club's board.
For now, those three individuals - Adam Fynn, David Smith and Debbie Priestnall - are considered "observer directors" by Swinton, though Seebeck disagree with terminology. They are not to vote on any resolutions until the case is formally heard by a judge in the coming weeks.
Swinton argue that they have seen an email suggesting that, should the trio be appointed to the club's board, they will seek to vote Power and Sangita Shah off the board of directors, effectively assuming control of the club. Seebeck have previously released a statement claiming they still own Swindon Town.
While the legals are still being ironed out between the two sides' lawyers, however, Cooper has hinted that the football side of the business could suffer, with Power either not able or not willing to put more cash into the club.
"Of course it will hinder things now, until it's sorted out, because I would suggest until it is resolved it is difficult for the owner to fork out any more money," he said.
"That's the way it's been since day one, so we just get on with it."
Town intend to reduce their 32-man squad down to around 20 over the summer, with the playing budget set to be cut further as well in pursuit of self-sustainability.
The club will struggle to draft in new recruits while the ownership saga drags on.
Meanwhile, there are 17 players out of contract at the County Ground this summer and each will be free to speak to other clubs if they have not received the offer of a new deal from the Robins by the third Saturday in May.
The likes of Troy Archibald-Henville, Jay McEveley, Jack Barthram and Raphael Branco all need their futures to be resolved and, while the ownership battle in the courtrooms continues, Cooper revealed that he and Power would sit down to figure out as best they can a plan of action in the interim.
The pair held discussions yesterday regarding the potential extension of contracts at Swindon and decisions will be made of the coming fortnight.
Cooper said: "There have to be decisions made, to be fair to the players who are out of contract.
"It's the last game on Saturday and we have to be fair to them."

hi, great thread; i went to schools for the blind until my senior year so was not just immersed but inundated with braille; when they couldn't find me in class, i'd be hiding behind a bookshelf in the library with a book - wish all my school related infractions were so innocuous. Anyway, this was long, long ago and I got my braille reading speed up to 180 words a minute. it mightn't be that high these days, but i'm much better at skimming and scanning due to volumes i have to regularly read. tactile literacy - it's way, way more than decoding; blind kids don't get it much anymore but sure need it. it includes understanding all the two-dimentional stuff: math, charts, graphs, maps, figures, skematics, etc. then, of course, since public/formal education really has become more visual in scope, literacy has to include all the meaning-making that goes into presentations at school (think Powerpoint), and their interpretation. Sorry to have gone on and on like this; the students are heavy on my mind today. Thanks for reading but i now need a nap. best to all, kat -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jody W.

Three's Company estate has contacted the '127 Hour' star and now they are still talking to turn the U.S sitcom into a play and movie.
James Franco is set to turn his love for beloved U.S. sitcom "Three's Company" into a new stage show and movie. The "127 Hours" star recently hosted a tribute to the show at the Sundance Film Festival - even showing up as actress Suzanne Somers' character Chrissy Snow - and now it looks as if his devotion is paying off.
The actor, who has already shot an art project documentary about "Three's Company", admits he's in talks to develop the sitcom into a play and a new movie.
He tells TV Guide magazine, "(After Sundance) the Three's Company estate contacted us, so they are now talking to us about developing a 'Three's Company' film and off-Broadway play."

One in four new drivers crashes within the first six months of passing their test.
That's what it says in the Make Roads Safe report by the UK's AA Charitable Trust, which is is being launched today by former Formula One champion Nigel Mansell.
Given the relative standards of driving instruction here and in Britain, one can only imagine that the numbers for South Africa would be even worse. Even so, the report makes startling reading.
The authors surveyed 14 229 drivers who'd been involved in a car crash.
Their responses showed that a quarter of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK have a crash within six months of taking and passing their driving test. Twenty-six percent crash within two years of getting their licence and 40 percent are involved in a car crash by the time they are 23.
First crashes, however, are most likely to happen in the daytime - only 13 percent happen at night and most people (63 percent) have their first accident when they are alone in the car.
Asked how authorities could reduce the probability of accidents, almost three-quarters (73 percent ) of the drivers polled agreed that more opportunities needed to be provided to drive in a safe, off-road environment before drivers turned 18 and were let loose on the roads.
Mansell, who is now a member of the Commission for Global Road Safety, backed more road safety education.
"Somebody is being killed or maimed every six seconds."
"This is an epidemic that is set to double within the next few years unless we take action," he said. "It's a vitally important issue, which doesn't get enough attention.
"Too many of our young people are still being killed, or injured, on the roads. These are preventable tragedies."
Edmund King, director of the AA Charitable Trust, said work was needed to "stem this tide of carnage".
"Road safety needs to begin many years before a person is old enough to apply for their learner's licence," he said.
"Road crashes are not only the leading cause of death and injury for young people in the UK, but also across the world.
"We need safer drivers in safer cars on safer roads to reduce these preventable deaths." - Belfast Telegraph

Here's the skinny on this event. Looking to bring the indie toy community back to its roots, long time collector Carl Kent Smith (mutonismyfriend) is hosting the first ever 'Garage Sale' presented by Clearwithguts on December 1st. Named as such because the event will take place in Carl's '"garr-ridge", Garage Sale will feature a unique, informal, low stress market to purchase figures from Velocitron, Josh Herbolsheimer, Mitchell Edmonds, Brian Flynn, Splurrt, Monster Worship, Adam Middleton/RabbitsAndRobots, Toby Dutkiewicz/Devils Head Productions, Scott Wilkowski, JulieB/Pretty In Plastic, Dennis Hamaan/Shirihama, David Coffman, Megan Kelly, Uh-Oh Toys Datadub/Fig-Lab. Each artist will receive 100% of sales proceeds as Carl is donating the space for the event.
I had a great time! Carl Smith, owner, ran a lottery for the figures that were for sale. I managed to snag a Wilkowski and the Purple Kumon! I have an Instagram account, #Toygodd, so you might want to follow me as I post tons of shots while at shows. Check out the array of wares that were available!
Thanks for reading!

Aaron 'Wheelz' Fotheringham Proves Nothing Is Impossible
Imagine a child growing up in a wheelchair saying he wants to be a professional skateboarder and BMX rider. Impossible, right? Meet Aaron Fotheringham.
When I first saw this guy my first thought was, "Incredible!" My second thought was, "He must be an injured extreme athlete who doesn't know when to quit!" But actually Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham has Spina Bifida and has been wheelchair-bound since age 3!
He used to watch his brother at the skate park until he decided to try it one day.
When he competes professionally he enters BMX competitions! He's performed in live stunt shows, has been a stunt devil on television and even appeared in a reality TV show.

Definite Algorithm Based on Causal Effect in SEM for the Analysis of Earthquake-Stricken Masses' Mental Health

In recent years, SEM is widely used in many fields. This paper builds a mental health evaluation model for earthquake-stricken masses through the principle of structural equation model. Based on our MCLS solution for measurement equation by adding a constraint with modular length to the latent variable, we change the modular lengths of latent variables so that the path coefficients between any latent variables and its manifest variables satisfy prescription condition, at the same time, consider making the sum of error square least, we obtain a definite algorithm for SEM. With our model, the relationship of structure variables in index system can be analyzed, as well as the relationship between the construction and observation variables. Thus, we can make good analysis of the earthquake-stricken masses' mental health, so related experts can take effective interventions.

The WHO is campaigning to reduce the numbers of women who die during pregnancy and childbirth.
It says that, currently, at least one woman is believed to die every minute in developing countries.
Joy Phumaphi, WHO Assistant Director-General on Family and Community Health told a meeting of health experts in Nairobi: "Pregnancy is a normal, life-affirming state. Women should not die giving birth.
"Their deaths are preventable, even in the poorest countries. But it takes local knowledge, strength and partnership to ensure women's lives are saved."

BAYTOWN - A 15-year-old student is accused of assaulting a teacher at Goose Creek Memorial High School in Baytown.
The incident occurred on Tuesday.
According to Baytown police, a teacher in the school's behavioral improvement class called for security because the student was swinging his fists.
During the incident, police say the teacher was hit in the arm.
When the school resource officer arrived to the classroom, the student tried to take the teacher's radio, police said.
That's when the student swung at the teacher, but the teacher stepped back to avoid being punched.
Officials say the student was already on probation for assaulting a school principal.
The student has been charged with class C assault.

Ramoji Rao, media baron of popular daily Eenadu always speaks about honesty and will be forefront unearthing scams of ruling party. However he will develop cold feet when questioned about the irregularities involving the party he supports.
In the midst of all this Ramoji is haunted by the forgery cases on him. Earlier Undavalli targeted him on Margadarsi and now a court ordered Visakhapatnam's three town police station to register cases against him and another four officials in cheating and forgery case with respect to a property lease.
Earlier also Ramoji faced many cheating and forgery cases. Wonder what explanation the media baron has got and what tricks he will play to come out of it.

Power WR depth tested with injury to Lesue
The lasting image from the Power's 55-28 loss to the Cleveland Gladiators was Anthony Hoke and Justin Lawrence lifting injured teammate Aaron Lesue into their muscular arms and carrying him to a seat on the bench.
It was only fair. Lesue had been carrying the Power through the early weeks of the season before suffering what appears to be a serious injury Saturday in the third quarter when he was knocked down, his knee buckling underneath him. The pass interference penalty against the Gladiators was superceded by Power quarterback Tommy Grady's intentional grounding, but the bigger loss was Lesue.
He missed the rest of the game, but still finished as the Power's leading receiver (nine receptions, 102 yards) and leads the Arena Football League with 59 catches through six games.
Power coach Ron James said Sunday he is unsure of the extent of the injury. Lesue was not scheduled to see a doctor until Monday.
"This type of injury could go either way," James said. "Anything I might add would be pure conjecture at this point."
Still, Lesue could be out for a significant length of time, further depleting the Power's group of wide receivers that has been without starter Prechae Rodriguez for the past four games. Rodriguez suffered a foot injury in the second game of the season after scoring seven touchdowns among his first 18 catches.
The Power may be forced to play the Philadelphia Soul on Saturday without Lesue and Rodriguez. After wide receiver James Shaw was ejected for fighting and Lesue was hurt, starting linebacker Arvell Nelson moved to offense and made four catches for 30 yards.
Plus, Shaw could face further discipline from the Arena Football League, including a possible suspension. Earlier in the game, he was penalized for a late hit.
"They may just fine him," AFL Players Union executive director Ivan Soto said. "We would need to review the tape and we prefer a deferred suspension for guys when possible."
In any case, the Power (3-3) need to stop their downward spiral that has included consecutive defeats to the AFL's two unbeaten teams (Arizona and Cleveland).
Before the game in Cleveland, the Power had been averaging nearly 60 points per game. But they had no answer for the Gladiators' defense, which leads the league in fewest average points allowed (39).
The Power scored on only four of 10 possessions and converted seven of 20 third-down opportunities.
"You have to be able to score every time you touch the ball, or at least be at a 90 percent rate, and we were far below that," James said. Catching the Gladiators for the division title will be difficult. Cleveland owns the tiebreaker by virtue of its two victories against the Power. Two wild cards from each conference also qualify for the playoffs.
The Power have six games remaining against division opponents, including one against Cleveland at Consol Energy Center on May 31 and three against the two-time defending conference champion Soul.
"Everybody is still in this thing," James said. "There a lot of divisional games left to play. But we have to play better than this."

It's probably not that surprising that people who drink too much are more likely to end up in an emergency room.
So researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health decided to take a closer look.
A pilot study conducted at the East Baltimore ER on Friday and Saturday nights shows that five beer brands – Budweiser, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice and Bud Light – were consumed in the highest quantities by patients who admitted to imbibing.
Yes, they drank booze too. Vodka, gin and brandy/cognac were over-represented compared to their market share in the national distilled spirits market, the study finds.
"Recent studies reveal that nearly a third of injury visits to Level I trauma centers were alcohol-related and frequently a result of heavy drinking," said lead study author David Jernigan. "Understanding the relationship between alcohol brands and their connection to injury may help guide policymakers in considering taxation and physical availability of different types of alcohol given the harms associated with them."
Yikes. They want lawmakers to use the data. Higher taxes. Great.

Almay Intense I-Color Volumizing Mascara Reviews
Good for a Change of ColorI bought this to enhance my hazel eyes; tinted mascara is a fun way to experiment and bring attention to your natural color. But Almay claims "Big, bold volume for two times the impact." I didn't find this mascara particularly helpful in adding volume. It separate lashes fairly well and did not clump for me, but the best part is the color. One tip? Color lashes with brown or black and just "tip" the ends with blue, purple, or another hue. — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

BadThis mascara is pretty bad. I got it because I wanted to try purple on my hazel eyes, and was very disappointed. First of all, you can't really see the color unless you blast light right on the lashes. The brush is huge, which usually helps with volume, but not in this case. It was just difficult to apply mascara with the giant brush. It separates lashes ok, but doesn't add any volume even with mu...read moreltiple coats. Since the brush is so big, applying layers is difficult too, it takes a lot of effort to not get any mascara in the eye. And if any of this mascara gets in the eye it stings quite a bit, and can irritate eyes overall- I believe this is unacceptable for an eye product. Also, this mascara has a noticeable chemical smell. The mascara doesn't clump and doesn't flake, but leaves lashes very stiff. The packaging is not too great. Both, the tube and the brush are unnecessarily large. Will not buy again. Will stick to my L'Oreal Voluminous. — 4 years, 4 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

I enjoy itI love how many and how big the bristles there are on the brush. It really gets all of my lashes. I love the coverage and the color (black) but I am disappointed in the "volumizing" aspect. It isn't as voluminous as I had hoped. It's still great for an everyday, natural look which is what I wear usually. — 3 years, 7 months agoleftoversushi | 17 reviews

Good mascaraI really liked this mascara. The wand was super fat and made my lashes big and full. I also feel like it did make my eyes look more intense, as it claims to do. The one drawback of this Almay mascara in my opinion is it isn't quite black enough for my liking. I feel like it's on the lighter black side instead of being super dark black like I like. I don't think this mascara is available in stores anymore, but I found some on Amazon for about $3. — 3 years, 8 months agovmporciello09 | 118 reviews
A great one, if you read the instruction firstThis mascara claims to have "big, bold volume for 2x the impact". But see the little star after it? Flip to the back and in those tiny little instructions, it says"for maximum volume apply 25 strokes". I'm not kidding, 25 strokes. I literally tried it. It does not clump and it really makes my lashes big and bold. What is also good about it is that it is the only drug store mascara I found that doe...read mores not irritates my super sensitive eyes. One star off because 25 strokes.....is just a bit....time consuming. — 3 years, 10 months agoautumnmaplemoon | 1 reviews
Watch out eyes!I bought this mascara because it was on sale at Walgreens. Although I am sure that Almay makes great mascara, this is not one of them. I like the color "Black Flash," but I find the wand to be too big for applying with ease. I have difficulty reaching the inner lashes due to the large wand.

Gay Things That Straight Guys Do [VIDEO]
I'm not real worried about being called "gay". At this point in my life, I don't really even consider it an insult. I've been married to a woman for decades and I just don't have anything to prove to anyone. I do know, that younger males make quite a sport out of insulting each others masculinity. The funny thing is, a lot of the same males that would call you out as being "gay" are actually doing some very "gay" things. So, what are these things? Davey Wavey will tell you next.
What are the 'gay' things straight guys do? Well, Davey says wrestling, frats, wearing jockstraps and more. You have to trust Davey on this, he is VERY gay. Get his "inside" perspective in this video.

According to Billboard, Dylan will appear in a Super Bowl commercial for Chrysler and a yet-unidentified track from the musician will serve as the soundtrack.
After his 1966's song "I Want You" is featured in a Super Bowl commercial for Chobani, Bob Dylan reportedly will appear in another Super Bowl ad this year. Multiple sources told Billboard that the veteran musician would make an appearance in a Chrysler ad which airs during the big game on Sunday, February 2.
The sources additionally mentioned that one of his hits would serve as the soundtrack. So far, there is no info regarding the song. Representatives for Dylan as well as Chrysler declined to comment. If the report is true, Dylan will join previous stars such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and Berry Gordy who contributed to the automaker's campaigns.
Bloomberg News previously reported that Chrysler Group CEO Sergio Marchionne said the company would advertise their product at the event, but he declined to share more details. "Someone made the comment to me that I had the right commercial in 2011 and the wrong car. I think we now have hopefully the right commercial and the right car," he said, referring to Eminem's spot.
The possible upcoming ad will not be the first time Dylan working with the company. He licensed his track "Motherless Children" to Jeep (a Chrysler company) last fall.

Oscar Pistorius's lawyers started the final push of their bid to undermine the prosecution's case that the Paralympic gold medalist murdered his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp after an argument, portraying the athlete as being paranoid about crime.
Double-amputee Pistorius, 27, suffered from an anxiety disorder and believed he was at a higher risk of crime because he had a disability and was a public figure, said Merryll Vorster, a forensic psychiatrist at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. He is being treated for depression and his grief is genuine, she said.
"When exposed to a threat, Mr Pistorius is more likely to respond with a 'fight' response rather than a 'flight' response as his physical capacity for flight is limited," Ms Vorster told the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa's capital. "The safety measures he implemented at his home appear to have been out of proportion to that of the general South African population."
The athlete has pleaded not guilty to murder and said he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he fired four shots through a locked toilet door in the bathroom of his home on Valentine's Day last year, hitting her three times. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel has portrayed him as a short-tempered gun-lover who shot Ms Steenkamp in a fit of anger.
Since Mr Nel described Pistorius's testimony last month as "untruthful" and "improbable," defence attorney Barry Roux has called witnesses who cast doubt on the state's version of the shooting and tried to show the runner as being emotionally distraught after the shooting.
Mr Nel said when questioning Ms Vorster that if it was true that Pistorius suffered from diminished responsibility, then he should undergo mental evaluation.
Blood pool
Earlier, Mr Nel continued to re-examine defence witness Tom "Wollie" Wolmarans' report on the shooting. A magazine rack, which Mr Nel argues Ms Steenkamp fell onto when she was shot, couldn't have been moved to next to the toilet because this would have made marks in the blood pool on the floor. This contradicts Pistorius's testimony that a police officer moved the rack.
Mr Roux said May 6 he expects to conclude his case this week. The trial, which started on March 3, is being broadcast live on radio and TV.
Arguing Pistorius was anxious about crime because of his disability may help the defense show he didn't intend to kill anyone when he shot through the toilet door, James Grant, Associate Professor of Criminal Law at University of the Witwatersrand, said by phone.
Culpable homicide
"It only reinforces the possibility but doesn't establish it as a reasonable possibility, which is what the court is ultimately looking for in order to find him not guilty of murder," he said. "None of this has anything to do with the standard to which he would be judged on a charge of culpable homicide."
Pistorius last month appeared to change his argument from self-defence when he said that the shooting was an accident, and that he didn't mean to pull the trigger.
Judge Thokozile Masipa, who will give the final judgment in the case because South Africa doesn't have a jury system, could consider a lesser charge of culpable homicide if she rules that the act wasn't intentional. Pistorius would face a minimum of 25 years in jail if convicted of murder. Pistorius has also pleaded not guilty to three separate gun-related charges.
Ms Steenkamp was standing when the first bullet broke her hip bone, then she fell on top of a magazine rack in the toilet, according to police ballistics expert Chris Mangena.
Blade Runner
The model's head wounds were consistent with her falling down, and the two abrasions on her back indicated that she had struck a hard, blunt surface, Wolmarans said. He disagreed with Mangena's assessment that the back wounds were the result of ricocheting bullet fragments.
Known as the Blade Runner because of his J-shaped prosthetic running blades, Pistorius has been free on bail since February last year.
The charges have derailed the running career of the winner of six Paralympic gold medals and cost Pistorius sponsorship deals with Nike Inc, Luxottica Group SpA's Oakley and Ossur hf, the Icelandic company that manufacturers the blades he uses.
Pistorius was the first double amputee to compete at the Olympic Games in London in 2012.
He agreed to sell the house where the shooting occurred, Ansie Louw, his real-estate agent said May 9. The property was valued at 5 million rand, according to Pistorius's bail-application statement from February last year.

Expensive but worth it. This product is perfect for SW Florida because you rarely need to heat the house. I love this product because I can burn 3 cans and fall asleep and not have to worry. Easy clean up.
Great Product. [...] The product was exactly how it was described.
30 inch stainless steel fireplace grate. Prefect...exactly what I was looking for
Gel Fuel. Gel fuel was used in my ventless fireplace. It is very easy to use and had no smell or fumes to it at all.
CRACKLING FLAMES. It is so relaxing to sit in front of a real fire. My dogs and cat aso enjoy it.
Real Flame Gel Fuel. The best price I have been able to find from local stores to the internet. [...]
Like it. Wish the cans lasted a little longer, most last 2 1/2 hours on average. Fireplace holds 3 cans, usually use 2 and it throws enough heat to raise the room temp 5-7 degrees.
A must get. I was thoroughly impressed. The crackling sound and flames were as though it was a wood burning fireplace, but no clean up involved.
A Gentle, Soothing Blaze. We have an especially tiny parlor (10'x12'), so we burn just one can at a time. Our fireplace is designed to burn up to three cans at once. The effect would be much nicer with three cans blazing together, but we fear that the "mild" odor would become offensive if tripled. Besides the odor, a blaze, every evening, would get rather expensive! The last 15 minutes, or so, of the blaze is not worth watching. When the flame fades to a dull blue it's best to put the lid on and extinguish the can. That last burning residue gives off an outright nasty smell, which requires opening a window for a few minutes, at least for us. Nevertheless, the gentle, crackling blaze is very soothing after a long day. The nicest thing about this formula is safety in lighting it. There's no violent "kick", as with a buffet food warming product, but a gentle, gradual ignition.
Real Value! I am in Florida and from Wisconsin. I love the instant fireplace that snaps and crackles like wood . I don't have to turn the furnace on when it is chilly
Works Great. I use this in my smoker. I wanted something that fit and would keep the wood off the bottom of the smoker. I have quite a large smoker. It works great, does exactly what I wanted it to do.
worked like a charm! The cans fit perfect into the log set. They burned for about 3-4 hours. I felt safe using the product. Will use again.
Loved this product !!!!! Worked as stated !!! Used to real wood fire place but this is next best.
Extra Thick Steel Fireplace Grate. I use this product in my large wood burning fireplace in a 1920's tudor. It is very sturdy and the appropriate height off the ground. That said, it is very heavy and difficulet to move.
I would buy again. good quality.very pleased
perfect size holes for ash to fall threw. I purchase one last year on-line not from this co. the holes in grate were small not letting the ash fall threw for clean out and smothered the fire.Also the legs were short made clean out a pain.
Get the flames going with our fire starting and fuel products. Rubbing sticks together works, but we think you'll prefer these items, including bellows to maintain flames, fire starters to light up, gloves to handle logs and tools. Keep your mantel nice & neat with gas keys, gel fuel (help eliminate wood chips, rolling logs, etc.), grates and match holders. With top brands and exceptional value, you'll find what you're looking for and can enjoy all the ambience of burning logs with easy to situate and light cans that burn cleanly and provide an evening of relaxation in front of dancing flames. Use with free-standing units and regulation faux logs to recreate the beauty without the mess. They're economical, safe, convenient and provide that natural feel.

Trib HS Insider Q&A: Aliquippa's Terry Swanson
Terry Swanson upstaged fellow junior running backs Dravon Henry and Shai McKenzie in the WPIAL Class AA final last week at Heinz Field. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound junior rushed for a game-high 206 yards, scoring on a 60-yard run, in Aliquippa's 34-7 victory over Washington to lead the undefeated Quips to their WPIAL-record 15th championship.
Q: What was it like to have a big WPIAL final game?
A: It was nice to break a long one at Heinz Field. I was expecting to break one but to actually experience it, it was a great feeling. It still seems not real to me. I'm happy but I've put that to the side because I'm ready to focus on our goal as a team: That's to win a state championship.
Q: What's your favorite part about playing in the WPIAL finals at Heinz Field?
A: It's where National Football League players play their games, on that field. It's our goal to play in the NFL, so it's neat to play where you could some day play in the future.
Q: Who was your Quip idol?
A: It would have to be Darrelle Revis, just the way he played. He brought enthusiasm every game and was a leader.
Q: How do you and Dravon Henry feed off each other?
A: We go out every game and make sure we challenge and motivate each other. We'll make bets for push-ups, to see who can score more or who has the most yards. We're actually close friends. We work out together, so we have to add 100 push-ups. We'll end up doing them together anyway, because it helps us both get better and stronger.
Q: Did any of your relatives play for the Quips?
A: Raphael "Pudgie" Abercrombie. That's my cousin, on my dad's side. I hear stories about him all the time. People show me film about him and say that's how you have to run. I hear about how he was a hard worker and just went out there every Friday night and gave it his all. His stats showed it.
Q: What does it mean to play for the name on the front of your jersey?
A: It means a lot. You're playing for yourself, your teammates and your coaches. But you're also playing for the city. It's a legendary place with great people coming out of it. There's so much pride here, and we take pride in playing every Friday night.

My Generation: What You Need to Know About 'New Seniors' in Order to Sell Them18 Oct, 2010 By: Donald L. Potter Response
The first article in this three-part series (Response, July) identified why the 65-plus market offers big sales potential for DRTV products. The size of the market today is an impressive 30 million consumers with a meaningful escalation coming in 2011 and continuing through 2030. During this period, Baby Boomers will turn 65 at the rate of one every ten seconds until all 76 million of them reach this milestone. So it's time to develop plans for tapping into this older, wiser and wealthier market: "New Seniors."
While many "New Seniors" are retired, or will soon be, they are not old. Think of them this way or, worse yet, communicate this attitude and you'll turn them off — maybe forever. Today, those older than 65 are vital and active within their families, their circle of friends and their communities. These "New Seniors" no longer are concerned about pleasing and impressing others or validating themselves. They are not defined by job titles and other labels.
"New Seniors" understand who they are, a continuing process, and how they feel about things. These feelings cover a wide range of subjects from relationships, to being of service to others, all the way to where they stand on political issues. Once they accept being 65, these individuals tend to adjust to this new phase of life by redefining themselves and determining where they fit in the bigger picture rather than being concerned about what's in it for them. Some of the "me generation" will have difficulty with this aspect, but those who have already traveled this road are there to help.
Modern medicine has made it possible for people to live longer. So, "New Seniors" are likely to be around long enough to be old seniors. This means many of them will be earning incomes, above and beyond any retirement savings they may have, for years to come. Working allows them to maintain a positive attitude about life and feel they can still make a contribution. Of course, making money is another reason for "New Seniors" to work. The sense of independence that comes with financial freedom translates into their built-in desire to consume.
These Americans were the early adopters and innovators of their younger days. They grew up in the "golden age" of television. This dynamic medium was part-babysitter, part-teacher and part-salesman. They learned early on to ask their moms to buy whatever items were advertised on the after-school shows and the Saturday morning cartoons. When they were earning allowances, the programs changed and their propensity to want the advertised brands increased due in part to that great sales tool known as peer pressure.
Advertising is as much a part of their lives as eating and sleeping. Over the years, these consumers learned how to spot a bogus pitch and steer clear of the brand, or if the advertising was effective enough to get them to buy but the product didn't deliver, they would not re-purchase the item and would avoid the company marketing it. The peer pressure that caused them to buy when they were young was refined into word-of-mouth campaigns, which spread virally between family and friends to the joy or dismay of many advertisers.
Most "New Seniors" are empty-nesters, with no children at home. Today, though, there is an increasing number who have parents living with them, and adult children may move back into the house after a divorce or a job loss. Both these situations are considered short term. With the majority not having family at home, purchasing decisions naturally focus on themselves. In the DRTV arena, household items and crafts are particularly appealing to "New Seniors." And, they love buy-one-get-one-free offers, which allow the shopper to order an additional product at no extra cost for grown children or, when appropriate, a grandchild.
The 65-plus consumer is willing to buy health care items, travel packages, even funeral arrangements — plus a host of other products sold via the DRTV model. And, since they are the fastest growing segment on the Internet, don't look for all their sales to be generated through the call center. Many of them are quite comfortable buying online. The challenge is to get these savvy consumers to take action. n

Agco to Boost Manufacturing of GSI Products in Brazil, China
Agco Corp. (AGCO), the world's third-largest farm equipment maker, plans to boost manufacturing of crop- storage and livestock equipment in Brazil, China and Russia as the developing nations build infrastructure to meet growing food demand.
"Infrastructure is topic number one," Martin Richenhagen, chairman and chief executive officer of the Duluth, Georgia- based company, said in a phone interview today. "We now need to develop our activities over there. That will help to support our growth ambitions."
Increasing overseas sales of silos, grain-drying and hog and poultry-raising equipment that Agco added through its $940 million purchase of GSI Holdings Corp. in 2011 will help boost the unit's sales to $1 billion in five years from an estimated $700 million this year, Richenhagen said. About a quarter of Agco's sales came from North America in the quarter through September and more than half of GSI's revenue are from there, according to the company.
Agco next year may increase production of grain-storage and livestock equipment in either its Canoas or Mogi das Cruzes plants in Brazil, Richenhagen said. Assumption, Illinois-based GSI currently has an assembly plant in Sao Paolo.
Agco also may expand capacity in one of its existing plants in China and is looking for a site in Russia, he said. The company also wants to expand sales in Africa.
The expansion would come after GSI's sales slowed in North America as the worst drought in five decades lowers crop volumes and raises feed-grain prices, cutting demand for silos and equipment used to raise hogs and poultry.
More Plantings
Brazil is set to displace the U.S. as the largest soybean grower this year and increase plantings to meet increased demand from China, the biggest buyer, according to Rabobank International. The next harvest in Brazil "looks very promising," Andrew Beck, Agco's chief financial officer, said on a call with analysts yesterday.
As plantings and consumption expand in developing countries the need for infrastructure from storage to roads to ports is increasing to avoid crop losses, Richenhagen said. China may boost soybean imports by a third in the next three years, commodity trader Olam International Ltd. (OLAM) estimates.
Agco cut its forecast yesterday partly because of lower sales of storage and livestock products. Earnings excluding one- time items will be about $5.20 a share in 2012, compared with a July projection of $5.50 to $5.75, Agco said. Sales will be $9.8 billion to $10 billion, down from $10.1 billion to $10.3 billion.
Third Quarter
The company yesterday also reported third-quarter net income that rose to $94.5 million, or 96 cents a share, from $84.4 million, or 87 cents, a year earlier. That trailed the $1.02 per-share average of 11 estimates. Sales climbed to $2.3 billion from $2.1 billion.
Deere & Co. (DE), based in Moline, Illinois, and Amsterdam-based CNH Global NV (CNH) are the world's two largest farm-equipment makers.
Agco rose 3.2 percent to $46.98 at the close in New York. the most since Aug. 3. The shares have climbed 9.3 percent this year.

GOLDEN GOAL: Mulligan PK Lifts No. 23/17 St. John's Past No. 5/9 Akron In 2OT
Sep 7, 2013
QUEENS, N.Y. - Exactly one week after scoring the game-winning goal in the season-opener, Jimmy Mulligan buried a penalty kick in the 106th minute to net the golden goal and lift No. 23/17 St. John's to a 2-1 win against No. 5/9 Akron in front of 1,533 fans at Belson Stadium. Josh Godec added his first-career goal to help lead St. John's (2-1-0), while Rafael Diaz made three saves. Eric Stevenson scored the lone goal for Akron (2-1-0)Eric Stevenson scored the lone goal for Akron (2-1-0), which had a 19-game unbeaten streak (17-0-2) snapped with its first loss since Sept. 9, 2012.
"Akron is a tough team to defend against because they move the ball well and have a lot of quickness, but they are also quite physical," said head coach Dr. Dave Masur. "Our back line did a great job of holding their offense at bay for large stretches of the game and Rafael made some big saves for us tonight."
St. John's earned a corner kick in the 5th minute, but neither team registered a shot until the 15th minute when Akron had an off-target effort from Aodhan Quinn.
The first shot on goal for either team did not come until the 32nd minute when Diaz stopped a Stevenson effort and then followed that up with a save on a shot by Quinn in the 34th minute.
Though Akron had a 5-1 advantage in shots in the first half, St. John's had perhaps the best scoring chance shortly before halftime. A corner kick from Mulligan in the 40th minute found Gabriel Camara at the far post, but his close-range header was stopped by Pina and the game remained scoreless at the break.
The Zips had two off-target attempts early in the second half before taking a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute. After a pass from Ismail Seremba, Stevenson found himself in space at the top of the box and tucked a low 20-yard blast inside the left post.
St. John's waited just 2:57 to respond as Godec leveled the game at 1-1 with his first-career goal in the 74th minute. After working the ball into the right corner, Jelani Williams rolled a centering pass into the box. Godec beat his man towards the near post and slid a shot past Pina and into the back of the net.
Cody Albrecht fired a shot from distance in the 83rd minute, but the effort was right at Pina and the game remained tied.
Akron had the final chance of regulation as Robbie Derschang fired a laser towards Diaz, but the keeper made a diving stop and quickly covered up to send the game into overtime.
Each team had only one shot in the first overtime, but both were great chances. In an effort that was eerily similar to his game-winner last week against NJIT, Mulligan had a curling shot from the top of the box miss just wide of the right post in the 95th minute. On the other end, Reinaldo Brenes worked his way up the middle of the field before unleashing a blast that sliced sharply and sailed wide.
The Red Storm had a pair of chances in the 105th minute. After an attempt by Mulligan from just inside the box was blocked, a quick Jamie Thomas rebound attempt was saved by Pina.
St. John's, however, got its game-winner in the 106th minute. Tim Parker worked the ball up the left side of the field and into the box before being taken down by an Akron defender and earning a penalty kick. Mulligan then stepped to the spot and beat Pina with a shot just right of center for the golden goal.
St. John's continues its homestand on Sept. 8 with a 7 p.m. game against Penn State.

Schenectady schools chief says state aid racially imbalanced
School districts with many minority students are getting less of the state aid they are supposed to receive than districts with mostly white students, according to Schenectady City School District Superintendent Laurence Spring.
Spring presented his research to the school board Wednesday. Board members said they were surprised and asked Spring to immediately send his presentation to state officials.
Spring researched which districts in the state had "minority as majority" student bodies — Schenectady is one of those districts. He found that just one non-white district is getting 90 to 99 percent of the state aid required by a court settlement that determined how much money is needed to provide a basic education.
Meanwhile, 62 mostly white districts are getting 90 to 99 percent of their court-ordered aid.
At the lower end of the spectrum, 37 districts are getting 50 to 59 percent of their court-ordered aid. Of those, 12 are predominantly non-white, including Schenectady.
Only 8 percent of the state's districts are predominantly non-white, but a third of those are getting 50 to 59 percent of their court-ordered aid.
Of those getting less than 50 percent of their court-ordered aid, 30 percent are predominantly non-white.
"You can see it's heavily weighted," Spring said. "That strikes me as alarming and something to be very concerned about."
In dollars per pupil, Schenectady is already receiving much more aid than many other districts. To choose the nearest example, mostly-white Niskayuna gets $2,740 per student, while heavily minority Schenectady gets about $7,300 per student.
But Spring argues that Schenectady, due to its poverty, deserves more money. Niskayuna is getting 66 percent of what it should under the court-ordered settlement, while Schenectady is getting 54 percent of what it should be receiving.
Looking at the matter from a racial perspective makes it even more clear that the state aid is unfairly distributed, Spring said. A more equitable formula would leave about four non-white districts at the lowest funding levels, Spring said. Instead, there are 15 non-white districts at those levels, including Schenectady. There are also 32 white districts at those funding levels.
Spring called the funding discriminatory. Because non-white students are getting so much less than they are supposed to, he said, he plans to push the issue much harder.
"I see it as my responsibility to raise the dialogue to a different level," he said.
Putting the issue a different way, Spring said 53 percent of white districts get at least 79 percent of their court-ordered aid, compared to only 20 percent of non-white districts.
"Our minorities are getting the short end of the stick," he added.
He asked residents to call their state representatives and ask them two questions regarding the state aid formula.
"Ask them if they're aware this is the way the formula works. Ask if they're OK with the way the formula works," he said.
Board member Ron Lindsay urged Spring to send his presentation to state officials, even those who have heard from the district already in its letter-writing campaign.
"It's OK for people to keep hearing from us," Lindsay said, "because if we don't advocate, no one's going to advocate, and our children are too precious to not advocate for them."
After the meeting, several parents said they would send out more letters, even to state Sen. Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna, who has said he thinks rural districts need more help than Schenectady.
One parent dismissed Farley's comments, saying she wouldn't "save a stamp," as Farley had suggested when he was told of the letter-writing campaign.

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on the constitutionality of prayer at public meetings. But a new survey finds U.S. voters clearly favor prayer -- as long as the public prayer is generic and not specifically Christian.
Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind survey asked about attitudes on high-profile cases before the court, including Greece v. Galloway. That case addresses whether elected officials can open public meetings with religiously specific prayers, such as praying in Jesus' name.
A Jew and an atheist brought suit in Greece, N.Y., saying the Christian prayers excluded many citizens and violated the Constitution, which bans government establishment of religion. Even when the town began inviting non-Christians to give invocations, the "establishment" issue remained a question.
"(Greece officials) were trying their best not to offend anyone by making prayers as generic as possible. In this survey we asked if this is an acceptable way to approach the problem. Three in four people said yes," said Peter Woolley, professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson in New Jersey.
Most registered voters (73 percent) said "prayer at public meetings is fine as long as the public officials are not favoring some beliefs over others." And 23 percent said "public meetings shouldn't have any prayers at all because prayers by definition suggest one belief or another."
The key, however, is that this case centers on generic prayer that is "harmless, if not uplifting," Woolley said. "Americans have become more used to the idea that one denomination is not necessarily privileged over another. Even unbelievers -- atheists who would say prayer 'is not for me' -- approved" of allowing nonspecific prayer.
While support for prayer was similar for every age group and both men and women, the most religiously observant were the most inclined to approve of it.
Among those who attend religious services (aside from funerals or weddings) at least once or twice a month, 86 percent would allow prayer, 11 percent would not.
For those who attend services a few times a year, 73 percent support it but opposition doubles to 26 percent.
But even those who seldom or never go to church backed the prayers at public meetings, with 58 percent approving and 36 percent opposing.
Surveys continually find prayer in general -- not specified by denominational distinctions -- is hugely popular.
Gallup, Barna Research and Pew Research Center all find that about eight in 10 Christians (Catholics, Protestants and Mormons) say they pray at least weekly, as do Muslims and Hindus.
But there still remains a vocal minority of people who oppose having officials call on God before calling a public meeting to order.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State often send letters to legislators and public officials relaying citizen complaints and asking them to drop the prayer practices.
The FFRF view is that "government prayer is unnecessary, inappropriate and divisive."
