Fewer Americans die in house fires than a generation ago, but winter is always a time of greater concern. There's a structure fire somewhere in America roughly once a minute, but that goes up in the colder months.
Officials have simple but strong advice: Have an escape plan for your home – and practice it. Take care in the kitchen. Take care with heating elements in your home. Have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and check them regularly.
Of the 140 structure fires in Independence last year, 42 percent came from the three leading causes:
• Cooking fires, which caused 26 of the structure fires, including the year's only fire fatality in the city.
"Cooking fires are one of our big ones, and that's true around the country as well. And it's unattended cooking," says Fire Chief Sandy Schiess.
So the rule is, if you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove. Also, Schiess suggested, take a cooking utensil with you to remind yourself to get back to the kitchen.
• Smoking material fires – 15 structure fires in the city last year – often caused when someone falls asleep while smoking or, sometimes, when someone smokes while using oxygen.
• Electrical fires, which caused 19 structure fires last year. Experts remind people to have work done by qualified electricians. Remember that extension cords are intended for temporary use; make sure they are not running under carpets or across doorways. Make sure cords are not frayed or worn. Plug the big stuff – washers and dryers, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners – directly into a wall outlet. Only plug one heat-producing device, such as a toaster or coffee maker, into a receptacle outlet at a time.
A special note of caution on space heaters: Be careful. Keep the kids at least three feet away. Keep anything flammable at least three feet away, and, Schiess notes, check the manufacturer's instructions. Those might be more restrictive.
"Know the limits of what you purchase ... and act accordingly," she says.
There also are more active steps people can take to stay safe, starting with smoke detectors.
Thirty years ago, Schiess says, 12,000 to 13,000 people died in fires annually. In 2012, according to the National Fire Protection Association, that number was 2,855. The difference is smoke detectors.
"This has been the single biggest factor in saving lives," Schiess says.
At least one smoke alarm – and carbon monoxide alarm – is recommended for each floor of a home. The city has a program to give smoke alarms – which are required by city code – to homeowners who need them. Last year, it gave out 186. These are the newer models, which have 10-year batteries. Call 816-325-7123 for more information.
"It will be ongoing as long as the grant money holds out," Schiess says.
Page 2 of 2 - It's also important to check the batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Some older models run on batteries that don't last all that long.
"If your smoke detectors are more than 10 years old, you should probably replace them," Schiess says.
Schiess also stressed the importance of an escape plan for your home.
"I know this works," she says.
Put together a plan with at least two routes of escape. Make sure everyone knows the plan and where to meet outside. Studies show that people actually tend not to panic in such emergencies, Schiess says, and practicing the plan – Are pathways clear? Will that window really open? – makes a huge difference.
"And you will act out what you've practiced," she says.
Simple things help, too. Sleep with the door closed. It's one more wall between yourself and a fire. If there is a fire, feel the door before going into the next room or hallway. If it's hot, go the other way.
"Put a door between you and where you think the fire might be," Schiess says.
Stay low – under the smoke – and get out quickly. Call 911 and let firefighters be the ones to go in for other people or for pets.
Also, be careful with heat sources such as fireplaces and wood stoves. Use the appropriate fuel, and keep those devices well cleaned. Have them professionally cleaned and inspected annually.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find information about how many people learn they have this type of cancer each year and some general survival information. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
This year, an estimated 63,920 adults (39,140 men and 24,780 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with kidney cancer and renal pelvic cancer. It is estimated that 13,860 deaths (8,900 men and 4,960 women) from this disease will occur this year. Kidney cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the tenth most common cause of cancer death for men, and it is the eighth most common cause of cancer for women.
The five-year survival rate is the percentage of people who survive at least five years after the cancer is detected, excluding those who die from other diseases. The five-year survival rate of people with kidney cancer is 72%. Approximately 63% of people are diagnosed when the cancer is only located in the kidney. For this group, the five-year survival rate increases to 92%. However, survival rates are based on many factors, including the specific stage of disease. The five-year survival for renal pelvic cancer is 51%.
Cancer survival statistics should be interpreted with caution. These estimates are based on data from thousands of people with this type of cancer in the United States each year, but the actual risk for a particular individual may differ. It is not possible to tell a person how long he or she will live with kidney cancer. Because the survival statistics are measured in five-year intervals, they may not represent advances made in the treatment or diagnosis of this cancer. Learn more about understanding statistics.

Pope names Fargo's Aquila as the archbishop for DenverFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - There is a new Arch-Bishop in Denver, and he is Fargo's own Bishop Samuel Aquila.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - There is a new Arch-Bishop in Denver, and he is Fargo's own Bishop Samuel Aquila. The big announcement came from the Vatican this morning, and Bishop Aquila appeared before Denver media today. The appointment came from Pope Benedict.
Denver is home turf for Aquila. Before coming to Fargo, he served in the Denver diocese as a priest and seminary rector. He has been Bishop here in Fargo since 2001, and said he will miss the Great Plains.
Bishop Samuel Aquila – New Archbishop of Denver: "In my role as bishop of Fargo these past 11 years I became friends with North Dakota clergy. I will miss them with all my heart, where Christian faith and family are life are strong."
Aquila will be formally installed as Denver's Archbishop in July.
One thing is for sure - Bishop Aquila left a mark on the diocese. His flock never had to guess what he was thinking because he preached what he believed was right. From church doctrine to consolidating rural parishes, his time here was action packed.
Bishop Aquila is Fargo Diocese leader who leaves behind a legacy, where no one will ever ask Bishop What's His Name. Controversial - Yes. A Fence Sitter - No.
Today at St. Mary's in downtown Fargo Noon Mass Father Chad Wilhelm asked the congregation to include Bishop Aquila in prayers as he makes the journey back to Denver, now as an Archbishop.
Father Chad Wilhelm – St. Mary's Cathedral: "We loved him and he loved us. One of the things we learned from Bishop Aquila is that he has been a man of conviction. Whatever he says he is going to do he does."
Bishop Aquila was not afraid to rock the boat in this river city. He led the effort to restore and build $52 million in projects that included Sts Anne and Joachim, Shanley and work at St. Mary's and the Bishop's home. He appeared publicly in marches against abortion, and came out against the ACLU and other non-profits. Most recently he was a supporter of Measure 3. Many parishioners we talked to appreciated his risk of talking the talk and walking the walk.
Christal Hutchison – St. Mary's Member: "He stands up for what he believes in and doesn't back down and has made me a stronger person.
Tony Trappen – St. Mary's Member: "He spoke out and I really like that and I think that too often that is not being done when it should be done."
Priests who closely worked with him say they learned from his leadership and convictions.
Father Luke Meyer – Fargo Diocese: "He was courageous in the public square, and letting others know not just his own private opinions, but what the church taught about matters in society."
One of the biggest changes Aquila made was confirming children in the Diocese at a younger age, before their first communion, a move the Pope personally praised Aquila for.

Last spring, she and at least 400 residents protested the permitting of a landfill that is slated to be developed in her home county of Conecuh, she said. But, despite their wishes, she said, the county commission approved the permit, a move that may allow developers to build a landfill there.
She and three other Conecuh County residents traveled four hours to Calhoun County Tuesday for a waste management meeting, hosted by a team of researchers from Auburn University's civil engineering department. About a dozen local stakeholders — landfill managers, a public health official and county employees — also attended the meeting, one of 12 that the university's researchers are conducting as part of a study aimed at helping Alabama determine how it will manage solid waste in the coming decades.
"The more people we get engaged in this process, the better," said Joel Hayworth, an Auburn engineering professor who is heading up the study.
The university was selected to conduct the study by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
"I really do believe they're taking this process quite seriously," Hayworth said. "We're taking it very seriously. Your participation in this means a lot to us."
The study has two parts. The first part seeks to determine how, or if, the state of Alabama should change its permitting process. The second part seeks to determine how Alabama should dispose of its waste in the future, said Prabhakar Clement, an Auburn civil engineering professor who is also helping with the study.
The researchers seek input from everyone — from the residents who want to completely revamp the permitting process to landfill managers who want it to change very little.
"The more input we get, the better the result will be," Hayworth said.
Under the landfill permitting process as currently written, decisions about when and where a landfill should be built largely hinge on the choices of county commissions and city councils. A landfill developer submits an application to the local government. The local government has 90 days to vote it down.
If the government fails to act, the permit is approved. The rest of the permitting process includes reviews by regional planning commissions and by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
Some stakeholders at the Tuesday meeting said governments should have longer to determine if they want to approve the landfill.
Some said that inaction by the local government shouldn't yield an automatic yes. Others said, on both points, the system is fine as it is.
"I think ninety days is far too short to make a decision that big," said Conecuh County resident Don Smith.
For the second part of the study, the researchers asked participants how they think Alabama should dispose of its waste in the future.
"Is there something we can do better than just putting garbage in a hole? Long term, what is going to be best for Alabama?" said Brian Anderson, an engineering professor and researcher with Auburn University.
The technology is there, Clement said, to build a landfill anywhere — even in the middle of the ocean. What the engineers need to determine, he added, is what the community needs.
Participants in Tuesday's meeting discussed the possibility of managing more waste by recycling. They talked about converting it to energy.
They also discussed some of the economic challenges the state faces in learning to manage its waste through those means in the future. Recycling some materials must become profitable, some said, before it will benefit governments to process them.
If the state continues to manage its waste as it does, we will accumulate mounds and mounds of waste in landfills like the one that is being proposed in Conecuh County, Clement said.
"Egypt left pyramids. Our country is going to leave trash mountains. Is that what we want to do?" Clement said.

Sacred Heart Medical Center is pleased to welcome pediatric surgeon Garret Zallen, MD, to Lane County.Dr. Zallen, our area's only pediatric surgeon, will be a familiar face to many of his young patients and their families. He comes to Sacred Heart from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, which had previously been the closest hospital providing specialized pediatric surgery. Dr. Zallen estimates that about 30% of his patients at OHSU came from in and around Lane County.That's one of the reasons he was attracted to Sacred Heart."Having this type of quality care available here, close to home, will make a big difference to many of these families," he said. "I think there need to be more places in Oregon that take care of kids."Dr. Zallen, who was an assistant professor of pediatric surgery at OHSU, specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques for his young patients, using smaller instruments and smaller incisions.Such techniques mean less pain, quicker recovery time and a better outcome for patients.Dr. Zallen brings to his practice an approachable, down-to-earth style that puts patients at ease. "When I walk into a room, I don't want them to feel, 'Oh, here comes a doctor, something bad is going to happen'" says Dr. Zallen, who favors casual attire.His passion for helping and healing the young drives his work. He thinks of his young patients as "innocent bystanders," who find themselves in his care not because they made poor choices or neglected their health, as is sometimes the case with adults. "It's just happenstance," he says.His special interests include congenital chest wall abnormalities, and he's authored several papers on the subject. Dr. Zallen completed a pediatric surgery fellowship at Children's Hospital of Buffalo. He completed his surgical residency at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, where he also obtained his MD. He grew up near Denver, Colo.He is committed to continuing his charitable work with both Shriners Children Hospital in Portland, where he treats and performs surgery monthly on patients who can't afford to pay, and Athletes 4 Cancer, an organization he co-founded in 2007 whose mission is to rebuild and renew the lives of young adult cancer survivors through outdoor adventure."I'm happiest seeing my patients after they're no longer in my care," he says. "Seeing them better—to me that is the ultimate reward."Dr. Zallen was named one of Portland's Top Docs for six years running, and maintained one of the busiest pediatric surgery practices in the state.
To make an appointment with Dr. Zallen, please call 541-222-6135.

Comments On Sep 27, 2013:Heated grips are nice, but when the rides get colder these liners will add the heat you need to the top of your hands and thumbs. As with all liners, they are not expected to work alone, but as a supplement your gloves and heated grips. I really dislike the cold and you will catch me using the heated seats in my car year around ;-). I was worried to ride a motorcycle in cold temps because I like my creature comforts. Last weekend I rode in temps as cold as 34 degrees Fahrenheit and these liners kept my hands cozy when used in combination with the Firstgear Heated Jacket and Firstgear Troller. As a liner to a good glove they are perfect.

Right now I am trying to install the 10.5.2 clean on its own partition and it seems to be working (it got past the 11 min hang up...mustve been a problem with installing the tiger os first????). Problem is last time I tried this technique when the computer loaded after the grey screen it got stuck on this light blue screen?????
I am going to try the f8 -s tactic.....
ANyway I just wanted to know if anyone here could help me with this install. I have a toshiba satellite a205 s4607. 4g RAM 180G memory intel centrino duo

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA INTERNET: email@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 FAX 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 222 (June 25, 1996) EXTREME FADING OF 1921+50 CH CYGNI The brightest Z And-type symbiotic star known, CH Cyg, is undergoing a significant fading as indicated by the following observations: May 3.4743 UT, 9.4, P. Collins, Scottsdale, AZ; 21.85, 9.6, R. Fidrich, Rakoczi, Hungary; 23.1, 9.4, J. Bortle, Stormville, NY; 24.800, 9.7, Fidrich; 26.321, 9.4, S. O'Connor, Quebec, Canada; 28.98, 9.2, E. Schweitzer, Strasbourg, France; Jun 3.4722 UT, 9.7, Collins; 4.96, 9.5, Schweitzer; 5.2132, 9.9, T. Burrows, Novato, CA; 6.1542, 9.9, Bortle; 6.1708, 9.7, C. Scovil, Stamford, CT; 6.9, 9.7, Fidrich; 7.184, 9.77 CCDV, R. Zissell, South Hadley, MA; 7.9, 9.8, Fidrich; 8.124, 9.69 CCDV, Zissell; 8.3056, 9.8:, G. Hanson, Cave Creek, AZ; 8.9, 9.9, Fidrich; 10.3069, 9.9, Burrows; 10.9, 9.9, Fidrich; 14.87, 9.9, Fidrich; 14.933, 9.8:, P. Skalak, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic; 15.196, 9.93 CCDV, Zissell; 15.3146, 9.9, Burrows; 15.9, 10.0, Fidrich; 16.2500, 10.2:, W. Dillon, Missouri City, TX; 20.2958, 10.4:, Hanson; 22.2722, 10.4:, Hanson; 25.2347, 10.3: Hanson. The current fading is unprecedented for CH Cyg. The above observations indicate that it is the faintest it has been going back to 1929 (Muciek, M., and Mikolajewski, M. 1989, Acta Astronomica, 39, 165; and AAVSO observations since 1948). The long term activity of the star is shown in the accompanying light curve of 10-day means calculated from the observations in the AAVSO International Database. Observers with photoelectric photometers and/or CCD's are strongly encouraged to carry out multicolor photometry during this extreme fading of CH Cyg. Accompanying is the AAVSO 'b' scale chart for TZ Cyg; the field of CH Cyg appears on this chart. Observers are encouraged to use the TZ Cyg sequence to make estimates while CH Cyg is faint, as CH Cyg's sequence is not faint enough to cover the present brightness of CH Cyg. Please monitor this system closely, and inform us by phone, fax, or email of its behavior. Be sure to indicate which comparison stars you are using for each estimate, and from which star's sequence they come.

I LOVE this punch! I have been waiting a binding edge punch for years, but could never find one. I'm so happy that EK Success has come out with these punches. They are so easy to use. They punch through thicker cardstock/paper like butter. One of the best parts is that these punches lock down to store flatter than any other border punch, which makes owning more a lot easier! :)
If you have ever wanted to make a torn out of a notebook border on your scrapping layouts, this is the punch for you. You will not be disappointed!
I love this punch as well as all the ek success border punches! ......This punch adds a gerat look to Los and cards! ....adds a little texture and great for both feminine and masculine looks! .....punches smooth and easy! ......the fold down flat feature is the greatest invention! .....makes storage so much easier for someone like me who is obsessed with border punches! ....a must have for ant collection!!!
I'm in love with the new EK Success Edger Punches, and each one is better than the next. Binding Edge is an easy way to add a casual, slightly distressed look to paper. The best thing, though is how it locks down for a lower profile when you aren't using it. The punches take up less space and there's a picture of the punch design on the handle so that you can tell at a glance which one it is.

PORTLAND – Maine Medical Center is cutting 225 jobs, including 50 through layoffs, and will slice the salaries of about 45 executives as the hospital struggles with a big budget gap while going ahead with a costly expansion plan.

Management at the state's largest hospital told employees about the layoffs Tuesday. Officials said 120 people had accepted early retirement offers that included severance pay and health insurance assistance, but many of those vacated jobs will be filled. Officials also said 175 currently vacant jobs are being eliminated, and that the average cut in executive compensation would be 12.5 percent.
"We are in the middle of a new era in health care," Richard W. Petersen, Maine Med's president and chief executive officer, said in a news release announcing the cuts.
That new era has led to an operating deficit for Maine Med of $13.4 million as of March 31, halfway through its budget year. In addition to the loss it has already racked up, Maine Med said it expects lower payments in the future from both government programs and private insurers; a continued shift from inpatient care to outpatient services, which generate less revenue; and continued high levels of unreimbursed care and bad debt.
Other Maine hospitals are struggling as well. Parkview Adventist Medical Center in Brunswick, for instance, announced last month that it was cutting 16 full-time jobs and combining its intensive care and medical-surgical units in an effort to cut costs by $2.5 million. Hospitals in Bridgton and Rumford took similar steps, and Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor recently closed its laundry operation and moved 17 employees to other jobs.
Maine Med provided few details Tuesday about the layoffs and said it would not identify those whose jobs were cut. Matt Paul, the hospital's director of communications and public affairs, said the cuts weren't "isolated to particular departments or functions."
Paul, who said he would only answer questions posed to him by email, didn't respond to other questions sent by the Portland Press Herald. He also said Petersen wasn't available for an interview, although Paul did not say why he wasn't available.
Maine Med and other hospitals in the state are receiving $484 million -- $186 million from the state, the release of which will trigger $298 million in federal payments -- for overdue Medicaid reimbursements under a plan worked out by the Legislature and Gov. Paul LePage early this summer. LePage had argued that the payments would allow hospitals to grow and add new jobs with good salaries, but in a list of questions and answers emailed to employees Tuesday, the hospital's management said the $67 million that Maine Med will receive is no "windfall" that could be used to avert layoffs, let alone add jobs.
The email likened the overdue payment to an employee going unpaid for two years, using savings and charging on a credit card to get by, and then receiving a lump-sum payment for his or her work.
"Would that be considered a windfall?" the email asked. "The answer, of course, is no. That's the simplest way to look at this repayment."
The Q&A also said Maine Med plans to go ahead with a $40 million expansion, which will add new operating suites, despite the financial troubles. The investment "is a direct reflection of our desire to continue to improve outcomes for our patients," the hospital said. The email also noted that the expansion will be paid for over a number of years.

So Recently my Boyfriend and I have been discussing moving in together. Now neither of us are in a rush, and my lease doesn't expire until February. But it got me wondering: how soon is too soon to move in together?
Now I firmly believe you shouldn't move in before 6 month together and that a year is probably a better idea (and even then the thought of all the crap I won't be able to do when we live together made me write this blog post). But I've known people who were engaged after 6 months and moved in together after 3 weeks of dating.
So I'm asking the crowd: When do you think is the appropriate time to move in with a significant other?
Views: 214
I think, as long as you are totally comfortable with the idea of sharing your entire living space with that person... You're all set. For some people that's right away, for others it could take a while. If you are aware of their style of living, their habits, and accept the good, the bad and the ugly... Go for it!
My Husband and I were together for three years before moving in together. When we moved in together we knew all of each others strange little quirks, and we accepted them.
One of my friends once moved in with a boyfriend after a year, and things got super weird. He wanted her to move in, but when she finally did he was strange about her coming into his space and changing things, adding things to the space yadda yadda... She didn't feel the space was equally hers because he was there first, and it all went down hill from there... I think if you can start fresh with a new place together, that's a plus!
I definitely agree with that last sentence!
I'm a terrible person to talk to about this subject- my husband & I were married for over a year before we lived together :-p (he was in the military, it wasn't all by choice)
That being said, I would suggest a "practice" period. Stay with each other for a week or so (needs to be longer than a weekend), maybe even do a week together at your place then a week together at his so you can start to see the little quirks that people have (my husband & I had been together over 4 years and trust me, there were lots of little things I never noticed until he was there ALL THE TIME).
And talk about what you expect- are you a morning person? Is he? Do you eat dinner at a specific time? Do you need the TV on at night or total darkness/quiet? How will you divide chores? And what about bills- will each person pay specific bills or will you split everything down the middle? Are there certain shows you need him to leave you alone while you watch?
Hilarious you mentioned the TV thing, that was a problem with us for a while, thankfully not anymore.
Growing up in his family home, it was totally acceptable to fall asleep watching TV on the couch EVERY NIGHT... So, when we moved in together I noticed that he REALLY wanted a TV in the bedroom, and that he needed to fall asleep to a loud, bright TV screen every night. I couldn't stand this habit and it wasn't a sacrifice I was willing to make. It took lots of practice, but thankfully now he can fall asleep to silence in a dark room. YAY! Also...No TV in the bedroom equals more... You know.
That has been/still is an issue for us. I had a really terrible time sleeping while he was in Iraq and the ONLY way I could fall asleep is watching TV. It's been difficult to get out of that. Now I can fall asleep without the light but I still need the noise, so we've come up with a compromise of a white noise machine. But sometime he can't sleep so he will watch it that way he's at least there with me...it's an odd cycle.
I totally agree about the new space thing. I think that's why I am waiting till February. I don't want him to move into my place and I won't move in with him and his current roommate. I think we need a new space that isn't mine or his so to say.
I def. keep saying we need a two bedroom so that one room can be our computer(s) room with a second tv in it, so that if I want to watch Glee and he wants to watch Pawn Stars, we can both do it in piece. Also if he wants to play Diablo until 3 am, he won't be keeping me awake.
We doing the joint Christmas thing this year, so that's 5 days of each other non-stop. I figure it we can survive that, then moving in together should be easy.
I was totally of the same mindset when I moved in with my boyfriend, but we live in an expensive city and we had to choose between being more downtown in a 1BR or being uptown in a 2BR. Since we both lived on the outskirts to begin with, and part of the reason I wanted to move was to be more central, we opted for a 1BR. It's actually not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, although we do have a fairly large 1BR (650 sq feet). I definitely would love a 2BR in the future to have an "office" (computer room), but so far we've managed (for 8 months now :).
Also, I found that nothing REALLY prepares you for living together. I thought it would be a breeze - my guy used to come stay with me for a week at a time when we were in an LDR, and I spent 3-4 nights a week at his place the rest of the time (this went on for 4 years before we moved in together, so we spent a TON of time with each other)... but it was still a LOT different actually living together long term, especially as job situations, schedules, and life change. There's a whole slew of different issues, problems, and arguments that come along with cohabitation - and of course, some of your defences and appearances melt away (even after 4 years, we both still had them, but when you leave together you are 100% yourselves), but as long as you're good about communicating openly it becomes easier and you make it work.
My husband I and I were together for less than a year before we decided to get married and moved in together a month before our wedding. We lived in a tiny New York City studio and it all worked out perfectly. Two months after we were married, we moved into a house together. It really all depends on:
-how tolerant you are/or can be of someone else being in your space (like sharing a kitchen, bathroom, television, etc.) a lot of times
-how good you are with sharing chores/responsibilities
-how laid back with your 'living alone' routine being altered
I totally agree. My husband didn't live together before we got married, but the majority of our relationship was long-distance. I used to come home from teaching and make some ramen, sit on my couch, and crash for the night. It's not like that anymore. My living alone routine is completely gone, and sometimes I love it. Sometimes, not so much. It's all about being willing to change and adapt to a new situation.
This is a timely topic for me considering my boyfriend and I are planning a cross-country move in the foreseeable future! We've been together for close to four years now, so I'm definitely ready to be more than a part-time girlfriend. But it's going to be a huge transition when you add in the whole moving to an entirely different coast thing. I think the move alone will be a huge test (that I expect to pass with flying colors... or at least with colors), and living together should be easy by comparison. As long as we can afford wherever we're living. Oh boy.
That's really exciting! I think the fact that you're moving to a new, unfamiliar place will help you guys. You'll build a home base together and then you'll explore your surroundings both with each other and apart. You'll both be finding new favorite places and meeting new people, but then at the end of the day you come home to each other... Your safe, comfortable place where you just be yourselves and all things are familiar and 50% you and 50% him.
I also think it's important that you claim a space in your home. In my house we have two living rooms, one has a pool table, bar, theatre seating and a flat screen - G's man land, where we watch our shows. The other one is very girly, pinks and purples, abstract art, candles, pillows, books, budhas and a shag rug. That's where you'll find me and my girlfriends hanging out, or where I'll watch Disney or play my guitar. If you don't have a lot of space to work with, even a small art room or meditation space will do... We rarely ever hang out in seperate rooms, but it's nice to have a space that is YOURS when you need alone time! :)
That's exactly how I feel! I can't wait to have a completely new area to explore together AND separately... and then come home to a place that is both of ours. 95% of our time has been spent at his house because it's larger and, unlike me, he doesn't live with his parents (just his brother). So it will be refreshing for me (and possibly an adjustment for him, haha) to have some claim over the space.
And I totally agree about creating a space that is just yours. I think it's possible even with limited square footage, though it will certainly be a challenge. He's a musician, and although he's trying to pare down his equipment in preparation, it can't be helped that that stuff will take up some space. I hope he's able to accommodate it-- not for MY sake, but for his, because I know how important it is to him. All I need is a pretty little corner. And some creative freedom when it comes to decorating. He's been warned. ;)

Any PC gamer, especially FPS players, will tell you that the mouse is the most key component in their peripherals. Gamers need a mouse that is not only going to have a great response with buttons, but it must have a great laser that sports the ability to customize the DPI, and it has to feel good in the hand. ROCCAT has made sure that all of these aspects are included in their high performance gaming mouse, the Kone[+].
The design of the Kone[+] isn't anything out of the ordinary when it comes to your typical gaming mouse. Black gloss edges with a solid dark gray coloring and the familiar ROCCAT logo gives the primary design a simple and sleek look. The two trails of LED lights that go down the sides are fully customizable in the software interface. The feel of the mouse itself is very comfortable, though it may seem a little larger than standard mice that can be purchased. It doesn't take long to adjust to the size, no matter what mouse you are switching from. The mouse connects with a two meter USB cable and has adjustable weight of up to 20 grams heavier than the standard weight.
The button layout offers exactly what you expect from a high-end gaming mouse. The standard left and right clicks are quick response, along with the directional wheel that scrolls up and down as well as clicking left and right, giving you extra features to add on for in-game or standard use. In the middle of the mouse are quick access adjustments for the DPI sensor. A press of the button up or down will change the setting and also give you a voice alert that gives the exact DPI setting that the mouse has been changed to. There is no need to go to the driver settings on this one, making a quick change in settings that much easier. On the left side of the mouse are the final two buttons that are added command buttons. All of these buttons can be changed in the driver settings. The true beauty of the Kone[+], however, comes in the Easy-Shift function, essentially doubling the amount of functions the mouse can do.
ROCCAT's control panel for the Kone[+] mimics the style that comes with the Isku keyboard, offering advance control of the DPI settings, scroll wheel speed, and many more functions. As with the Isku, the onboard memory offers the storage of five profiles, allowing you to set up your mouse for individual games or characters, depending on your choice of game. Button assignments are easy to do on the fly in the manager as well, though it would be best to adjust these without being in your game or, at the very least, in a situation that is high action, such as an FPS in mid-game. The LEDS on the mouse can be changed to not only just have solid color, but can also be a flow of color from top to bottom.
The Kone[+] has officially become available on Amazon and Newegg for the price of $79.99, which is a very fair and reasonable retail price for a strong gaming mouse, considering that most multiple-function mice such as this can retail for as much as $129.99.
More On:
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company for review.
The Kone[+] might be the strongest accessory to come out of ROCCAT Studios. Everything and anything can be customized and the comfort in a gamer's hand means for hours of gameplay with no problem. In a world where it's dog eat dog for the best accessories, ROCCAT's Kone[+] sits on the porch as one of the big dogs.

MONTROSE – Supporters of Measure B received a huge boost Tuesday when the Montrose City Council joined together to publicly support passage of the proposed .03 percent sales tax increase to build a $24.2 million-dollar Community Recreation Center in Montrose. The proposal will go to voters in April.
Councilor Kathy Ellis, proclaiming herself the "most conservative" of all council members, said passage of Measure B will "put people back to work," increase property values and quality of life for all residents and become a permanent economic driver for both the city and Montrose County.
"This is the first time and last time I will ever vote for a tax increase," Ellis said.
Council's Resolution 2014-07 maintains that the estimated $4.6 million in revenue the new rec center is projected to annually create will have a substantial impact "both directly and indirectly on our local economy," and translate to an increase in full-time construction jobs throughout the Montrose community.
Because Montrose serves as a regional shopping center for the cities and surrounding areas of Gunnison, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, Olathe and Mountain Village , the CRC will raise a "significant portion" of sales taxes from visiting shoppers and tourists, as well as "improve the quality of life in the entire community," the resolution read. "This resolution urges voters of the City of Montrose to vote 'yes,'" said Councilor Bob Nicholson.
Ellis and Nicholson disagreed with critics of Measure B such as Montrose resident Becky Waugh, who maintained there are some figures the public has yet to be told, including the total dollar amount that is being borrowed to pay for the center and exactly how much will be raised by the .3 percent sales tax increase, which is structured to sunset after an estimated 25 years.
"I feel that the proposal is too expensive for this town," Waugh said.
"I know when she (Waugh) researches something it comes from a labor of love. In this instance, I disagree with her," Ellis said.
Ellis said she was not impressed with recent letters stating, in effect, "Only the rich will use (the CRC), while [as a result of its being built] poor people will have to worry about putting food on the table."
Ellis said an average of 1,000 people use the Durango CRC per day. If approved, Ellis said, the city's sales tax would rise one percent. By contrast, Delta voters approved a similar CRC with a tax increase nearly three times the one percent increase the Montrose Recreation District (MRD) is proposing.
When calculated, the tax will raise $3 for every $1,000 spent in the city.
Ellis, who is married to County Commissioner Gary Ellis, said the increase is worth the benefit the community will receive.
"Gary and I will spend $24 a year on this tax," Ellis estimated. "That is less than one round of golf".
She said local restaurants and hotels should be support the CRC.
"This is not going to destroy business. It's going to increase it," Ellis said.
Nicholson said efforts by opponent Curtis Robinson, who created the coalition against Measure B as well as the website www.stopthewreck.org, were "disingenuous" because Robinson supported a city buyout of the Black Canyon Golf Course, of which Robinson was a part of.
Robinson said figures compiled by RPI Consulting for an economic study presented by the MRD last week were unrealistic, inflated and did not serve the community's best interest. He said he favored a property tax increase instead.
Robinson said he was not opposed to a rec center, though he took particular note of the $4.6 million in annual revenue would supposedly bring to the city, saying that estimate was not accurate, and that the figure was closer to $1 million dollars annually.
Other opponents, who live outside the city, had previously told councilors they feel Measure B is "taxation without representation" because they would not have a decision in the vote.
The MRD is seeking $25.5 million dollars through Measure B to pay for the CRC and repurpose the Montrose Aquatic Center.
"Those sales tax funds, along with about $700,000 of existing District annual revenues that are available and produced by the District's mill levy, lottery funds, grants and operating fees, will cover the annual lease purchase payments of approximately $1.9 million," the MRD states. "Existing District revenues will also cover the operating deficit of the CRC."
Fifteen-year-old Gabriela Pacheco told councilors that 20 percent of the Montrose area population was Hispanic and said immigrants to the area were also in favor of the CRC as a recreation resource.
"It's not about taxes, it's about an investment in our community," Pacheco said.
Mayor Judy Ann Files noted the city's motto was "Quality of life is our commitment" and voted in favor of the resolution.
The city's municipal election is nearly six weeks away. Final votes must be cast by 7 p.m. on April 1st, at City Hall.

Same concerns?
According to the Dispatch, there is concern about using a septic system at the proposed Dondelinger site at Highways 77 and 371 because of the high water table and flow toward local Baxter lakes.
Where, oh where, did Vox Pop go?
I'm not finding Vox Pop in the newspaper.
No charm in paper
I don't care for your new format except for maybe the front page. The paper looks very regimented, but has lost its charm. And what happened to Vox Pop? I haven't seen it lately.
Take an active role
If the Dispatch truly wants to improve the civility of conversation in its online article comments, discussion site and Vox Pop, it needs to start taking an active role in reviewing such comments.
Remember the rules
May in Minnesota is an incredible time and people are brushing the rust off their bicycles, ready to ride.
New wood chips needed
Dear Brainerd School District, if you happen to have any room left in the budget for next year, could you please replace the wood chips on the playgrounds? Thank you - the children's clothes.
Only tree stumps?
I was just sick when I drove by the old Brainerd Regional Treatment Center grounds.
Why was it necessary to cut down all the trees at the state hospital? They are spending countless dollars to take down the buildings and cutting trees down that were nowhere near those buildings! How senseless! I'd like to hear from whoever was in charge of that decision....
Don't dangle your angle worm
Be sure to get all the critters and weeds off your boat and drain all water. And buy only approved bait and keep your receipt for your boat. Oh yeah! And change the water on the bait.

You can hear the crowd outside the locker room waiting for the next match, but Spencer Fox has a problem: his huge woody has made a tent out of his spandex wrestling singlet. When Dylan Roberts enters, its not long before he offers to help his teammate take care of the situation. Hes quickly on his knees deep throating Spencers gigantic, thick dick. Spencer is now in the classic, on-all-fours wrestling position allowing Dylan to take it to the rear and spit coat Spencers tasty, hairless hole. In a show of team spirit, Spencer returns his teammates favor by swallowing Dylans stiff, uncut cock, paying special attention to his foreskin. Dylans muscled, milky bod with Spencers tan and toned frame sets the stage for a featured match of flip fucking. Dylans face reads of agonizing pleasure with Spencer steadily surging into his ass doggie style, and delivering the occasional smack to Dylans white ass. After the flip, Spencers on back with his legs on Dylans shoulders, groaning with a grin as Dylan delivers ball-slapping hole punching. Finally both lean lads unleash large locker room loads. Spencer spurts on his stomach while Dylan still inside him and Dylan pulls out, shooting his jizz in the same spot.

The unthinkable has happened. And our assumptions and business practices are changing to address our new reality. As the event marketing company for InSystems Technologies' Connect 2001 user group conference, those of us at Impact Events learned some key lessons after the attacks of September 11:
Contingency Planning and Budgeting
It's standard practice at Impact Events to develop contingency plans and budgets when managing large events. For the InSystems conference, we had already developed a plan and budget in case slow market conditions kept us from attracting the target number of attendees. But in our worst nightmares, we never anticipated the catastrophe of September 11. Although the plan we had in place helped us to react quickly to protect InSystems' interests, it didn't go far enough. In the future, we'll have to completely re-evaluate how we approach contingency planning.
Contract Negotiation
In the planning stages, we negotiated a substantially reduced cancellation penalty on behalf of InSystems. However, we're still in talks with the venue on how this situation will play out and whether we'll have to invoke the contract's force majeure clause. Clients who in the past might have been indifferent to meeting contracts are likely to have a new appreciation for our aggressive review of cancellation and attrition clauses.
Event Insurance
In our experience, it's rare for an invitation-only (nonpublic) event to carry its own event insurance unless the activities at the event are perceived as risky. In fact, we've never considered it a requirement of most corporate conferences. In this new climate, we expect more clients (and their insurance companies) to require or request event-specific coverage if the event carries risk beyond what their commercial general liability coverage permits.
Employee Travel Policies
InSystems already has a travel policy that prohibits its employees from all traveling together. However, many companies do not, and we expect that to change as companies evaluate how they can better manage risk.
Selecting Venues
In the short term, we expect a trend toward domestic rather than international events, and a general trepidation about any travel, making it more difficult to attract attendees. As border controls and travel restrictions tighten for international travelers, event managers will need to communicate with attendees to ensure that their travel is as smooth and safe as possible. We'll also have to leave more time to move products across borders. Rush shipments into the United States will likely be more difficult.
Event Security
For most of our North American events, we've approached security primarily as a means to protect property or to restrict attendance to keep an event private. We — and our clients — will be required to rethink our approach to event security to ensure the safety of our guests.
