Lead Renovator Initial
The Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule affects contractors, property managers and others who disturb known or presumed lead-based paint during renovation. The term renovation covers all activities done for compensation that disturb painted surfaces including most repair, remodeling and maintenance activities, such as window replacement, weatherization and demolition. The RRP rule applies to all renovation work performed in residential houses, apartments and child-occupied facilities such as schools and day-care centers built before 1978. Training, certification, and work practice requirements in the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule were effective April 22, 2010. Pre-renovation education requirements are effective now.
Requirements for Renovation Contractors Certification and Training
All firms performing renovation, repair or painting work must become certified. This can be accomplished by applying to EPA or to the State, if it has an EPA-authorized renovation program, and paying a fee.
Firms must have one or more "Certified Renovators" assigned to jobs where lead-based paint is disturbed. To become certified, a renovator must successfully complete an EPA or State-approved training course conducted by an EPA or State-accredited training provider. ETI is an approved trainer.
All renovation workers must be trained. Renovation workers can be trained on-the-job by a Certified Renovator to use lead safe work practices, or they can become Certified Renovators themselves.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Lead Safe Housing Rule
HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR Part 35) covers pre-1978 federally-owned or assisted housing and federally-owned housing that is being sold. It does not cover child-occupied facilities outside of residential housing. The requirements of HUD's rule are similar to EPA's RRP rule, but there are some differences in the details, including:
Exemptions. HUD's rule does not allow owners of federally-assisted housing to opt out of its requirements.
Training Requirements. HUD does not recognize on-the-job training. To conduct lead hazard control in federally-assisted housing, either all workers must have completed a HUD-approved course, or the crew must be supervised by a Certified Renovator who is also a Certified Lead Abatement Supervisor.
Minor Repair and Maintenance. HUD's definition of minor repair and maintenance that is exempt from its rule is different than EPA's (2 square feet interior and 20 square feet exterior or 10 percent of the surface area of a small building component type).
The RRP course will cover other differences between the EPA and HUD rules (concerning paint testing, prohibited practices, clearance testing and waste disposal) are pointed out in the appropriate places.
"This course has been approved by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry for 8 hours for Continuing Residential Building Contractor Education."

Students and staff in five Ocean County school districts had some basic classroom materials as they returned to school today after more than a week's closure following Hurricane Sandy. None are returning in the near future to their home schools and have been relocated to spaces in area high schools, churches, and other sites where room has been made for them.
About 50 NJEA members from Ocean County—including displaced staff from Boyd Elementary School in Seaside Heights—as well as NJEA staff from around the state, filled new backpacks with supplies for each returning student. The effort took place on Sunday at the NJEA UniServ office in Toms River and was the result of close collaboration between the Ocean County Council of Education Associations Executive Committee, the Region 7 UniServ office, and local associations in Ocean County.
Each displaced teacher received a large plastic tub of supplies, notes of encouragement, and gift cards to assist them as they face the challenging task of teaching young students in unfamiliar settings. A generous supply of donations came from the Pequannock Township Education Association and The Education Association of Morris (TEAM).
Seaside Heights Education Association President Kathleen Ruprecht described Central Regional Education Association President Susan Hopson as her "new best friend." The two have been in close contact ever since it was announced that Seaside Heights would move to Central Regional. The social studies wing in Central Regional High School in Bayville has been cleared for the elementary school's students.
In all, the volunteers filled 200 backpacks, 40 teacher boxes, and created small classroom libraries for each of the five schools. Boyd Elementary teachers divided up hundreds of donated books for shared libraries in each of the displaced schools.
Staff in each of the displaced schools are unsure which students will show up for school today. The teachers—many of whom have lost or sustained serious damage to their own homes—have spent the last week trying to locate their students and families.
If your school is in need of assistance, or if you or your local association would like to learn how you can help, contact the NJEA Back to School effort at firstname.lastname@example.com. Make sure to contact your local association president in addition to writing to the above email address. More information and donation opportunities can be found at njea.org/backtoschoolfund.

An aggressive and lightweight flat ready to break PR's, the Brooks Mach 15 is built for 3k to 10k cross country racing.
The Brooks Mach 15 spikeless is an aggressive and nimble flat that will have you tearing away from the pack. Offering lightweight durability and unrelenting traction, this flat is suitable for use on both track and cross-country surfaces.
Model Number:
Weight: 4.9 oz (size 9)
How It Fits (based on width D)
Brooks' Mach 15 Spikeless is a cross country shoe engineered for 3k to 10k distances on asphalt, dirt, wood, or rubber surfaces.
Comments:These shoes are just great. I like how light it is, it's like as if floats. The design is pretty nice, also the color. These shoes are great with running in soft surfaces. It also gives my foot a tight lock which is great, helps you have a fast kick. The only thing that I dislike a little bit about these Mach 15 is the shoelaces. They easily get untied. But other than that Brooks Mach 15 are great XC spikes.
From: Luis Medina, GA, USA. August 2nd 2014
Comments: I used this spike this past cross country season. I loved it from the first moment I tried it on at my local favorite running store. I wore them sockless all season on my way to a 16.25 PR and 3 local race wins. From what I know, the same designer behind the Victory XC from the swoosh designed this spike also, and I used a Victory XC 1 for two seasons. This spike is super comfortable, fit my foot like a glove, and looks great. Not super breathable and I got blisters (running sockless) and they smelled like the dickens by the end of the season (running sockless). But that's how it is with racing competitively. ALSO, this shoe is very inexpensive. I am a midfoot-forefoot striker, and train and race competitively. I do anywhere from 25-45 miles a week for xc and track, and like running. I am considering buying the spikeless version for a training flat.
From: Kevin, Huntsville, AL
Comments: How can you go wrong with a shoe that says "Go, Baby, Go" on the bottom? It is like your own little strategic secret weapon!
From: David, Bath, ME, US
Comments: I am happy with the brooks mach 15. I had only one problem where one spike would only go in half way. I called the customer support and they are already shipping a new pair. I appreciate what they are doing, but overall this is a great shoe!
From: Mike, Chicago, IL, US

The move follows a similar test in the United Kingdom.
Katie Evans
PayPal says it plans to expand a U.K. test that extends credit to eBay Inc. sellers to the United States.
PayPal would not comment further on its plans to lend to sellers except to say that the U.K. test is with a small number of sellers and that the U.S. test will launch later this year.
EBay-owned PayPal already extends credit to buyers. And shoppers who use PayPal credit spent 39% more on average during the last three years than those who did not borrow, said Gary Marino, PayPal's senior vice president, global financial services, and head of the Americas, said at eBay Inc.'s Analyst Day late last month.
"Credit increases engagement," Marino said. "Consumers who use PayPal credit are by far our highest value customers." Marino touched on the new test to lend to eBay sellers only briefly during his presentation. "Marketplaces [such as eBay.com and eBay.co.uk] are great innovation labs for us to test new experiences and new products," Marino said. "We've done it successfully with credit and we are experimenting with new capabilities like small business lending."
In discussing PayPal's general plans for growth, Marino said PayPal plans to focus on signing up more footwear, luxury and digital commerce e-retailers to accept PayPal payments.
"We are seeing huge opportunities to take advantage of digital commerce such as gaming and content which are consumed across online, [gaming] consoles and mobile," Marino said.

Silence of the Trams II
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2010
After the success of The Silence Of The Trams in 2009, the team returns to the nation's favourite comedy club with an all-new show starring the Stand's very own Jim Park, Derek Johnston, Niall Browne, Gordon Alexander and Martin McAllister. Bringing you reports on the issues that matter to you. And by the issues that matter to you, we mean the Livingston 2020 Olympic Bid and the fact it took us less time to defeat Nazi Germany than it will to lay five miles of tram tracks from the Airport to Shandwick Place.

|In response to Re: orange substance in water
You should have used a brass pipe instead of a steel one. That steel pipe is probably a cheap one and the exposed metal on the end is rusting creating a small pocket of rust that has to be washed out when the first water is run. If it is not that pipe, then you also have another one somewhere near the shower valve that is rusting.
: I recently had a plumber rough plumb a combo bathtub shower for me. Before I fitted the finish spout over the iron supply pipe we used the tub for a number of months and the water was clear. I recently replaced the 6" iron pipe with a brand-new 3" iron pipe, necessary so that my Delta spout would fit, and screwed the spout on. Now, everytime we turn the tub water on we get an initial burst of orange water. It lasts just a second and then clears up. When attached the 3" pipe, I place pipe joint compound on the both thread ends of the iron pipe. Any ideas as to the source of the orange substance? We run the tub about 8 times now and it doesn't seem to be dissipating at all?
: Thanx,

Comments: I've bought the Vomero+ 7, I have to admit, I had high expections from them, and honestly, they are AMAZING, they feel great! I'm a neutral runner that need some support, with medium arch and have a regular width. When I first put them on, they felt great, great lacing system and amazing "Dynamic Fit" feature, the cushion was great as wel as the soft feel(which some will say stiff but I don't think so), the support and protection were there, the only thing I didn't like is the width of the forefoot that was a little wide for me, but other than that its just great. Now to the run, my first run with the shoes was a 6k run, they felt great, I'm a midfoot-heel striker and the cushioning felt great, the weight transition from heel to forefoot was great and the protection was huge. For a Vomero, these shoes are pretty light, and are pretty responsive. I enjoy running in these shoes, and happy that I bought them even though they are a little expensive for running shoes.

Wine Storage
Wine collectors take great pride in their investment. When you're looking for wine storage, Uncle Bob's Self Storage provides the ideal conditions for your wines to safely await your return.
Uncle Bob's wine storage units are carefully designed to provide the ideal environment for the storage of fine wines. Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed to accommodate the size of your collection, from small case lots to the largest restaurant requirements. In addition, our security measures give you the peace of mind you need with such a valuable asset.
You'll also enjoy the added benefits and conveniences our facilities offer, including electronic access, delivery acceptance, online payments and more. While your storage need is unique to wine, we have over 25 years of experience in the storage industry with a well-regarded reputation for customer service.
Uncle Bob's Wine Storage Features
Certification of Conditions*
For a wine to reach its full potential, it should be stored at 55-58 degrees Fahrenheit, with 65-70% humidity. Since cork slowly breathes, high air quality is also critical. We take pride in creating the proper environment since most homes cannot accommodate the conditions needed for proper wine storage.
Temperature and Humidity Control*
Uncle Bob's refrigeration equipment is solely focused on our wine cellar and is completely separate from the main buildings' heating and cooling system. Our humidity control systems are designed to avoid the humidity fluctuations that can impact your wine's flavor.
Light Control*
Our lighting is motion activated, which means your wine is only exposed to ultra violet light for minimal amounts of time. Our goal is to minimize the effects of light exposure on the wine.
High Level Security*
Uncle Bob's wine storage units are under surveillance by closed-circuit TV systems. Both the building and storage area entrances are protected by password-coded security systems, and the units themselves have an integrated lock. We understand that security is one of the driving factors when choosing storage for your wine collection.
*Monitoring, environments, lighting, and security features vary by facility. Contact us for availability. Mechanical systems are subject to service interruptions for maintenance.

If you're diagnosed with a rare or unusual cancer, it's not easy to figure out how you fit in to the mainstream of cancer care.
Hearing that you've been diagnosed with cancer is hard enough, but when your doctor tells you that your cancer's rare, it's not easy to feel comfortable about your next steps.
You may find that doctors, nurses and other cancer patients have never heard of your type of cancer. It may be difficult to find information and resources to guide your treatment choices. This is when it's important to ask questions and take steps to find a cancer specialist who understands your cancer type and others who can help support you along the way.
Here are a few ideas on what you can do:
Cancer survivors find great support from each other by sharing experiences, thoughts and feelings. Many times, the most value is in finding someone else to talk to who's experienced a similar situation. Reach out to others through social networks and general support groups.
Look for opportunities to volunteer or be an advocate for other cancer survivors. In doing this, you may find the people you meet along the way become your personal support group, regardless of cancer type.
Many of you have written words of wisdom to each other on the blog regarding rare cancers. What have you found helpful?

Is it common to turn yellow, like jaundice when you have Hairy Cell Lukemia?
I was diagnosed with extra mammary Paget's disease after having an innocuous cyst removed. How blessed to have decided to have that cyst removed otherwise the Paget's would have been far more advanced and been causing symptoms. I saw my gyn/onc. He recommends watchful waiting or Aldara cream. Neither seemed good to me so I did some further research and ended up at the U of Michigan Multispecialty Cutaneous Oncology Clinic. Their recommendation is further surgery as the margins on the original biopsy were not clear. The surgery will be done by the plastic surgeon specializing in oncology and he will do skin graft if needed during that surgery. My question is which of these two recommendations sound like the best treatment? How does one make a decision -- by intuition?
Hi Sheryl:
I am looking for a surgeon at Mayo Jackosnville, FL that has done the MOST thyroidectomies. I have a 15 yr old that I would like to get a second opinion about. Diagnosed with hurthle cells (30% possibility of being malignant). FNA is inconclusive. Will need to have the "hemi" procedure done and maybe a full (hopefully not).
Also--- about your Hairy Cell Leukemia person. I was diagnosed 10 years ago. unfortunately I relapsed last September, but just finished treatments for the second time. I'd be glad to talk with anyone needing help, advice or just encouragement. I was 42 when first diagnosed.
Hi Erin, I am glad that you are writing in again...and so happy to see that you are doing well. I found the Thymic Cancer Research site has a great forum for patients, as well as a place to look for clinical trials and share your stories. Take a look here http://www.thymic.org/?page_id=32. Maybe you have already found this resource. I was impressed by what they are offering patients. Hope this is helpful. You may also want to read the Living with Cancer blog discussions on living with metastatic cancer (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/metastatic-cancer/MY01926) and survivor guilt (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cancer-survivor/MY01370).
I posted here in March that I suffer from Thymic Carcinoma.Unfortuneatley I see no one else has signed on, that was possibly hoping to much. Last nov.my Dr. said the cancer was back and I had about a year.It has been "about a year". I continnue to amaze my Dr. with minimal growth.this is not the first time I have beat the odds! It is WONDERFUL but.....it kind of messes with your head and I feel I am walking a very fine wire. If anyone is willing to share how do you handle it?
Nan, send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you information and options for a Hematologist who specializes in Hairy Cell Leukemia at Mayo Clinic.
I posted an earlier comment on Hairy cell Leukemia. Is there a Dr. at Mayo Clinic that works with HCL Variant? I feel I need to be proactive on this and there is very little information online. My Dr is working with M D Anderson but I'm looking for all the possible information. Thank you
I have been diagnosed with ampulla of vator cancer. This is very rare. I had Whipple surgery last year and was in remission for six months. The cancer has returned again in the liver. Does anyone know anything about this cancer or survival rate.
Hi, I am a 53 year old female and was diagnosed on march 4th with 4 poorly differentiated synchronized adenocarcinoma of my stomach and colon from a routine colonoscopy and endoscopy. They are er/pr positive and her2 neg. my doctors thought it metastisized from my breast but now are testing ovaries. All of my tests and scans come back negative and i have no tumors. Every doctor that I see says they have never seen this before. I am currently taking letrozole. I am reaching out to find a doctor that has treated someone like me. I would appreciate any information you may have for me. Thank -you
My Mother has a vaginal tumor. She also has diarrea constantly. The doctor has said she has stage four and we have put her on hospice. Her stool is like water and has an onion odor. It is also black as tar. Does anyone have any idea about this? We have not had a pet scan run since her diagnoses.
I have mastocytosis and just been diagnosed with a lobular carcinoma in my breast. I had a masectomy this week. can anyone give any insight into the mastocytosis. A problem as this was the first cancer diagnosed and now the second one has come along.
My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. The polyps containted two cancers: adenocarcinoma (commonly found in the colon) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (aggressive and rare). One third of colon removed and now undergoing chemo. Is there a doctor at Mayo that specializes in neuroendocrine cancer? Anyone else out there who has had this type of cancer?
Have contacted the Melbourne Cancer hospital which is a leading research group in Australia. They also do not know or have any experience with the rare cancer. Has anyone in the USA got any insight on the Sebaceous cancer growing inside a person rather than on the skin area?
My mother has had a Sebaceous cancer removed from her breast area. which was 4.3cm big along with healthy clear tissue. Also informed that the surgeons that they have never seen anything like it before. Does the Mayo Clinic have any experience with this form of cancer and if so what was the recommended treatment?
Hi Eunice and Paulette, feel free to both send me your e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will connect you. I am happy that you found each other on the blog.
I was diagnosed with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia in 2004. Paulette, I read that you were diagnosed with WM. I would be delighted to communicate with you about this rare blood cancer! Maybe Sheryl can get us in touch with one another. I look forward to hearing from you, Paulette! Thank you, Sheryl!
I have been diagnosed with Waldenstroms and would like to communicate with others having this type of leukemia
I have adenoid cystic carcinoma behind and below my eyeball. After 11 radiation treatments I had to quit due to inability to breathe through my nose, swallow and taste food, etc.
I am pursuing info on Factor 35 Flaw and the MYB gene expression.
Not sure how rare I am, but am a great believer in sharing information.
Take care everybody,
i have lms (leiomyosarcoma) currently terminal metastatic pulminary. they gave me 2 years to live a year and 3 months ago. i agree about the fact that rare cancers dont get as much funding for research i understand why, but it seems so unfair... recently did a clinical trial (a drug that has been approved around the world for years) and was booted because 1 of my 40 some tumors grew by 12% i felt like i should have been given more time for it to kick in. that if the drug shows anything but positive effects you got to go fast! all the why's and how's and could have's i have gone thru in my head. i did have my original tumor removed at mayo it was in my ivc and they did a great job. it gave me 2 1/2 years more then if we had done nothing or if we hadnt found it at all so that is a daily reminder to be greatful. im on a growth inhibitor pill now that was recently approved for soft tissue sarcoma it has worked for 3 months so far. i would do anything to help with the research on this cancer i just wish there was more out there....
Hi Sherly,
Re: Hairy Cell/Nan
Sorry but I'm having problems getting to your email. Could you post a live link? Thanks Jeff
I am one of those special one with a rare cancer, Thymic Carcinoma/Thymoma. I put both down because some of the Dr.s I see call it all Thymoma thinking there is no difference as they both originate from the Thymus gland and that is if they have heard of it at all. Many healthcare professionals I have had contact with have never heard of it let alone understand it. I have done hundreds of hours of research on my own but the stumbling block I have run into is that the few that are doing research ( AND THAT IS VERY FEW ) all feel there treatment protocol has merit and many are conflicting.
It is annoying to see hundreds of millions being spent and raised each year for the more common cancers but nothing being done by the drug companies for rare cancers. Simple economics dictates our care. Drug companies and most hospitals are for profit organiztions and there is no profit in spending millions on research to benifit the few. If a protocol is established it is usually prohibitivley expensive.
walking in the door for my check-ups can cost between 150-250 thousand dollars and they want me to be seen every two months. luckily we have good insurance but it still has almost bankrupt us. I apprecate the names of places to go for help someone posted earlier !! Thank You !! will give them a try. Anyone else out there with Thymic would love to hear from you !!!!!
Jeff and Nan, it's so wonderful to make this connection with each other through the blog. Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you each other's contact information!
Nan, I posted the comment before you. I have Hairy Cell also. If you want to talk, I don't know the protocol on this web site and would be glad to talk with you. I'm fairly well versed on the disease and may be able to give you some insights..Let me know.. Jeff
Sometimes,a fairly common kind of cancer is hard to detect.My late father was diagnosed with leukemia after nearly an year of tests.
I have hairy cell leukemia. I've met one other person with HCL. There isn't a lot of information on this type of blood cancer. I'm in remission, knowing it's treatable but not curable.
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society have people, like me, who volunteer to talk to anyone who is diagnosed with specific types like the one I have. It is rare form of Leukemia which only about 600 people a year are diagnosed with. I gladly talk to anyone diagnosed. It's rare but in the big scope of things those with it are very lucky. Rare doesn't always mean the worst kind..But, having doctors who see more of that particular case then others is important..Specialized chemos can have different side effects and having experienced doctors, familiar with your particular disease is important in my book.
I will jump in here. Isn't it true that we are all unique in our diagnosis due to the fact that each of us responds to the treatments differently. In my case, I have a constant backache and side ache. They tell me it is metastasis of the breast cancer from fifteen years ago but yet each report comes back saying that there are spots on my spine but some of them may be arthrites. I find this very frustrating. Do I have to live with this pain the rest of my life? I am functioning reasonably well but hate going to bed as the pain increases. I am not sure of what is happening. And when we se hear for the rest of our life for treatment what does that meann> Does it mean for one month, one year or ten years. It is very depressing and scary. You got it one of my down-sad days. I am reading and see on the tv news that there are medicines being brought on the market everyday. Therefore, I am greatful for the time it may give me if my oncologist chooses to use it. So, the question is do I or do we all have rare cases of cancer. I believe so. The only way I can comment is to keep the Faith and also one day at a time. That is how my doctor ends our session each time. My question is what does it mean.
Hi, youall thought I would comment since its empty. Large grats to you Sheryl for your blog. It sure has been a blessing just reading this stuff since my diagnosis. I find the best solution in one day at a time and live in the now. Thats all I get and just keep the faith, regarless of the outcome. To all fellow travellers on this journey may we all put on a courageous battle to our destiny. Keep in mind there is always better days ahead.

: : I have a rough-in for a full bath in a U-shape-corner of my basement. I want to put in the walls and floor myself and have a plumber install the fixtures. The info I need is the location and thickness of the walls.
: : Concrete wall measument - 11' wide (back wall) & as long as I need it. Picture the layout-Sink on right, toilet center, and shower on left along the 11" back wall.
: : I have a 4" pipe out of the floor connecting to a 2" vent & a 2" drain. I assume this is for the sink. Located 8" from back wall and 30" from right side wall. A 2" pipe for the drain is 17" from floor.
: : Centered is a 4" toilet fixture on floor 21" from back wall. Does this have to be raised for the floor? (2x4's with 3/4" plywood flooring.)
: : 4" cap on floor is 14" from back wall & 44" from left side wall. Is this the tub/shower drain? I plan on putting in a long shower stall.
: : Do I put the wall studs directly against the conrete walls or bring them out a bit for deeper wall thickness? Do I need 6" wall depth to hide pipes, etc? What is the minimum distances from the walls for the fixtures?
: Is there any way you can lay the existing pipes out in a diagram and email it to me. (email@example.com) If a plumber roughed it in one of the pipes is most likely the toilet vent. Hard to picture the way you are describing it

Lampedusa Flights
Lampedusa: the pearl of the Pelagie Islands
White beaches, crystal-clear sea and sun that caresses the skin, all framed by rugged coastlines forming nooks and coves to discover: paradise is real, and you can find it on the island of Lampedusa.
Like a pearl in its shell, the island contains priceless natural beauty. Its large limestone cliffs overlooking the sea and its picturesque inlets with crystal-clear water make Lampedusa a dream destination if you love nature and the relaxed pace of the Mediterranean life.
Among the most interesting places is the "isola dei Conigli", an undisputed jewel in the middle of a pristine bay, whose name seems to be the result of an incorrect translation. For a long time it was believed that it was derived from the English word rabbit ("coniglio" in Italian), but in fact, more reliable versions trace it back to the Arabic rabit (meaning "connection" or "collegamento" in Italian). The island can be reached on foot when the low tide reveals a thin strip of sand connecting it with its namesake beach.
Rabbit Beach, voted the best in the world by one of the most well-known travel review sites, is part of a nature reserve and represents one of the few sites in the Mediterranean where loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs on summer nights between May and August.
But the beauty of Lampedusa does not end with the isola dei Conigli. In fact, it is a succession of small inlets offering unique views: Cala Pulcino, Cala Guitgia, Cala Madonna, Cala Creta, and Cala Francese are just some of the more notable sites not to be missed.
Lampedusa's strategic location in the center of the Mediterranean has allowed to be settled by some of the greatest civilizations over the centuries, while its natural charm was the setting a feat in Ariosto's epic poem Orlando Furioso and inspired the writer Giuseppe Tomasi in crafting his novel as The Leopard.
And against this backdrop of history and culture, the local cuisine enchants with the typical flavors of Sicilian dishes. Do not leave the island without tasting panelle, caponata, pasta alla norma, or couscous, all accompanied by one of the excellent wines that the island of Sicily offers. To make your trip all the sweeter, try a slice of cassata cake, a few cannoli pastries, or a glass of Sicilian straw wine.
Pack your bags and choose the comfort of an Alitalia flight to take you to the heart of Lampedusa.

Line Match-ups: Five Games, One Article
Jonathan Willis
November 04 2008 08:12AM
Willis broke his back (his internet back) when I forced him to crank this baby out... for YOU, our adoring Nation readers. Brace yourselves, lambs, this is a long one. And Willis, they're ready for you in surgery. —DJ Spyn Cycle
In Vancouver
The Oilers actually outscored Vancouver 3–2 at even strength, but their penalty kill allowed four powerplay goals against in a 6–3 loss. Here are the even-strength line-ups:
Edmonton's Lines:
Nilsson – Horcoff – Hemsky Penner/Brodziak – Cogliano – Gagner Moreau – Pouliot – Cole/Penner MacIntyre – Brodziak – Stortini
With Pisani out of the line-up, MacTavish used Pouliot to centre a checking line with Ethan Moreau and Erik Cole. After Cole was ejected midway through the game (his sweater wasn't tied down and came loose in a fight), MacTavish bumped Penner into his spot and elevated Brodziak to the second line.
Grebeshkov – Gilbert Visnovsky – Souray Visnovsky/Grebeshkov – Staios
Jason Strudwick played less than two minutes at even strength before leaving the game with injury. As a result, Steve Staios saw his ice-time reduced and played at least one shift with every other defenceman, although he spent most of his ice-time with either Visnovsky or Grebeshkov.
Vancouver's Lines
D. Sedin – H. Sedin – Bernier Burrows – Kesler – Hansen Pyatt – Wellwood – Raymond Krog – Johnson – Hordichuk
Mitchell – Bieksa Ohlund – Davison O'Brien – Edler
Vigneault was mix and matching both his forward lines and his defensive pairings pretty much all night. Mitchell and Bieksa were split up occasionally, with Mitchell being put in defensive situations and Bieksa in offensive situations. There were also a few shifts where Ohlund and Edler played together, leaving O'Brien and Davison as a relatively weak third pairing. Finally, Ryan Johnson saw time on different lines as a utility player, although he spent most of the game with Krog/Hordichuk.
Nilsson – Horcoff – Hemsky
Sedin Line: 3.4% Kesler Line: 79.8% Wellwood Line: 16.8% Johnson Line: 0.0%
Mitchell Pairing: 79.6% Ohlund Pairing: 14.6% O'Brien Pairing: 5.8%
Penner/Brodziak – Cogliano – Gagner
Sedin Line: 26.7% Kesler Line: 7.9% Wellwood Line: 48.5% Johnson Line: 16.8%
Mitchell Pairing: 15.7% Ohlund Pairing: 28.9% O'Brien Pairing: 55.4%
Moreau – Pouliot – Cole/Penner
Sedin Line: 75.0% Kesler Line: 4.7% Wellwood Line: 20.3% Johnson Line: 0.0%
Mitchell Pairing: 9.1% Ohlund Pairing: 53.7% O'Brien Pairing: 37.2%
MacIntyre – Brodziak – Stortini
Sedin Line: 14.3% Kesler Line: 9.5% Wellwood Line: 17.5% Johnson Line: 58.7%
Mitchell Pairing: 28.8% Ohlund Pairing: 37.3% O'Brien Pairing: 33.9%
Grebeshkov – Gilbert
Sedin Line: 37.6% Kesler Line: 33.7% Wellwood Line: 15.3% Johnson Line: 13.4%
Visnovsky – Souray
Sedin Line: 35.8% Kesler Line: 14.6% Wellwood Line: 29.9% Johnson Line: 19.7%
Staios and Co.
Sedin Line: 32.2% Kesler Line: 24.3% Wellwood Line: 39.1% Johnson Line: 4.3%
- The injury to Strudwick made a hash out of the defence, and MacTavish and company seem to have handed out assignments pretty evenly as a result. Grebeshkov and Gilbert logged the most time against the Kesler line, likely meaning that they saw more offensive situations than the other defenders, which fits with the Oilers coaching staff's MO to date this season.
- Vigneault was absolutely militant about running a five man unit (Kesler line, Mitchell pairing) against the Oilers' top line whenever they were on the ice. Kesler was one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL last season and it's a trend that I would expect to continue.
Boston at Home
The game against Boston was quite possibly the most entertaining 1–0 loss I've ever watched (although, admittedly, I did miss a good chunk of the game). The action was back and forth, and both Dwayne Roloson and Tim Thomas did a phenomenal job in their respective nets. Given that Roloson was just in net for a pair of back-to-back wins on the road (against Carolina and Philadelphia), I think it's safe to say that this was the game where the starter's job came up for grabs. At the very least, it certainly has increased Roloson's value both to the Oilers and to possible trading partners (I've mentioned this before, but the Islanders seem the likeliest destination, especially with DiPietro having undergone knee surgery).
Edmonton's Lines:
Nilsson – Horcoff – Hemsky Penner – Cogliano – Gagner Moreau – Pisani – Cole Pouliot – Brodziak – MacIntyre/Cole
It's worth noting that Gagner played about four minutes this game in Horcoff's spot; outside of that, the lines remained fairly steady.
Visnovsky – Souray Grebeshkov – Gilbert Smid – Staios
Boston's Lines:
Kessel – Savard – Lucic Sturm – Bergeron – Ryder Axelsson – Krejci – Wheeler Thornton – Yelle – Nokelainen
Ference – Wideman Chara – Ward Hnidy – Stuart
Nilsson – Horcoff – Hemsky
Savard Line: 29.3% Bergeron Line: 43.5% Krejci Line: 20.4% Yelle Line: 6.8%

Smid – Staios
Savard Line: 25.9% Bergeron Line: 12.5% Krejci Line: 38.4% Yelle Line: 23.2%
In Nashville
In the first game of a seven-game road trip, the Oilers lost 3–1 to Nashville, and didn't score a goal at even-strength. They did, however, outshoot the Predators 28–25 and 24–19 at even strength. Craig MacTavish switched his first line up for the third time in the season, switching out Robert Nilsson for Dustin Penner midway through the game.

In Carolina
A much needed 3–1 win came against the Hurricanes. Dwayne Roloson was phenomenal in net, and Cam Ward allowed a poor angle goal off an Ethan Moreau wrist shot. The win snapped a five-game losing streak.
Edmonton's Lines:
Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – Cogliano – Gagner Moreau – Pisani – Cole Pouliot – Brodziak – MacIntyre/Rover
Cole, Hemsky and Gagner all played a couple of shifts in place of MacIntyre, while Nilsson was also spotted in that position. All in all, MacIntyre played about half as many shifts as his linemates.
I'll also be evaluating the defencemen individually, since after Denis Grebeshkov's injury, the pairings were scrambled. Gilbert and Visnovsky played with every defenceman in the line-up, while the other three defenders played with everyone but Grebeshkov. This should be a helpful game to see how individuals were used, as opposed to pairings.
Carolina's Lines
Whitney/Samsonov – Staal – Ruutu Whitney/Samsonov – Brind'Amour – Larose Eaves – Cullen – Bayda Brookbank – Lacouture – Helminen
Gleason – Corvo Seidenberg – Wallin Melichar – Babchuk
That's a pretty sad looking Carolina line-up. Gleason and Seidenberg both got extra shifts and seemed to be the only defenders that Laviolette trusted consistently (especially Gleason—he may never equal the guy who was traded away for him, but he's quality).
Ruutu and Larose are decent players, but well above where they should be on the depth chart. I suspect Ray Whitney kept getting moved around so as not to saddle Brind'Amour/Staal with the boat anchor that Samsonov is turning into (11GP, 1PT, -5). Wasn't this what happened last time Samsonov signed a three-year, big-money contract?
Laviolette is in a world of trouble with this roster, although both Ward and Leighton are providing good goaltending. Presumably they've put their enmity in the past, which is almost too bad.

Staal Line: 11.4% Brind'Amour Line: 33.3% Cullen Line: 27.2% Lacouture Line: 28.1%
- The erstwhile checking line wasn't given much responsibility at all in this game; even the fourth line was given more dangerous opponents. The Fernando-Pisani-at-centre experiment needs to stop and soon, because that's a terrible waste of three legitimate forwards.
- Visnovsky and Souray, despite playing nearly a third of the game apart, look almost identical in their match-ups. Along with Tom Gilbert, these are clearly the guys that MacTavish (Huddy?) trusts.
- Steve Staios, as previously suggested, has taken a big step back in his quality of opposition. After getting torched last season, he looks much better this year, and I think it's a good thing for the team if he can slide into a third pairing role.
- Smid hasn't earned the trust yet, but I think it's coming. He's played well with what he's been given, so a slow rise in time on ice and responsibility should be what happens this season.
In Philadelphia
A 5–4 win was really two games in one. The Oilers dominated Philadelphia at even strength, outscoring them 4–1, but the Flyers power-play managed three goals to make it a game. Dwayne Roloson played his second game in as many nights, a rather curious decision by MacTavish, given his goaltending situation, and looked confident if not confidence-inspiring in the win. The game put the Oilers above five hundred, and two highlight-reel goals by Ales Hemsky quieted the critics.
Edmonton's Lines
Moreau – Pisani – Cole Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – Cogliano – Gagner Pouliot – Brodziak – MacIntyre
Smid – Gilbert Visnovsky – Souray Strudwick – Staios
The amount of special teams play in this game did some odd things to the even strength ice-time. The Pisani line actually played the most at even strength, and the defensive pairing of Ladislav Smid and Tom Gilbert led the defence in the same category. With Grebeshkov out of the line-up, Smid was elevated to Gilbert's pairing, and although it's possible that it was mainly because Strudwick was playing hurt, I think it's likely that Smid has passed him on the depth chart.
The other effect of all the special teams was that aside from a rare Cole double-shift, MacIntyre managed nearly as much ice-time as Pouliot and Brodziak.

All these stats make my eyes bleed. ...but I still enjoy it.
November 04 2008, 08:47AM
this kind of reading is enough to make a guy fall asleep this early in the morning.

Willis, you are Stat Stallion!
November 04 2008, 12:07PM
Gagner and CO seem to be facing much tougher defense this year.
Willis- You had posted earlier that Gagner's corsi numbers we're the complete opposite of last year and he's been far more defensively sound.
If the top line starts scoring the pressure comes off the 2nd line and they start lighting the lamp!
Now that Martin Brodeur is injuried, trade Roloson to NJ for nothing; then try to land a true number one center "Mats Sundin". I would love to see any team in the league line match Cole – Sundin – Hemsky.
Jonathan this analysis is great! Look forward to it every week.
Why is Vancouver the only team that seems to use a 5-man checking unit? doesn't this make more sense from a shut-down perspective?
November 04 2008, 01:42PM
Why is Vancouver the only team that seems to use a 5-man checking unit? doesn't this make more sense from a shut-down perspective?
Well, other teams do it too, but of these five, Vancouver's the one with the best personnel for the job. Kesler is a fantastic player in all aspects of the game, and Willie Mitchell is pretty much the sterotype of the modern shut-down defender.
Outside of that, most of these teams are fairly picky about which defenseman match up against opposing forwards, but not as picky about which forward line is out there.
November 04 2008, 04:00PM
Staios, torched last season? How so?
Maybe at the start of the year he got burned now and then. But he certainly wasn't a human flame in the last 40, a la Pitkanen and Gilbert.
November 04 2008, 05:09PM
Well David, I know you aren't big on +/-, but Staios' -14 last year was his worst number since playing for the expansion Thrashers in 2000. I don't think it's a coincidence - he wasn't torched ala Stoll/Reasoner, but by his standards it was a poor performance. Particularly in the first 40 games of the year.
November 06 2008, 09:20AM
Jonathan, well, when it comes to Staios and his play, his error count was good, but I'm really going by what I saw of him. He was just damn solid, especially in the second half (his error count is similar between the first and second half).
It's interesting looking at these matchups. It's tough, sometimes, to figure out who is facing the toughest quality of competition, isn't it, especially with the forward line matchups. It's often easier to tell who is facing the toughest two defenders on the other team, with Horsky and the Kid Line usually getting that task, but not always. It's a real mixed bag, which makes me think quality of competition isn't so neat and tidy as the nice, neaty and tidy numbers that Desjardins presents to us.

No, I think it's been pretty clear-cut. Horcoff and Co., night in and night out, have faced the toughest competition. Second-toughest is either the Kids or the Moreau line, depending on how the coach feels like rolling.
We'll have a clearer picture once I do my "season-thus-far" review; I've been logging all these numbers in a spreadsheet.

pyTile Iso depth sorting
pyTile Iso depth sorting
Timothy Baldock (entropy)
This is going to be a testing demonstration of a sprite depth sorting system I'm working on. Currently it takes a coordinate in 3D space and draws a bounding box around it based on a projection.
The idea is that objects will be represented in 3D based on a coordinate, 3 dimensions, a rotation and a tilt (to allow for tilting up/down for going up/down hills).
The sorting works by finding how close each object is to a plane passing through the 3D space origin, such that a viewing ray from the camera is a normal to that plane. This is used to compare objects and determine if one is in front of another. A simple heap-sort is then used to keep all the sprites in order. Eventually all of this behaviour will be implemented in a sprite group class and used in my game project pyTile.
Q/D - position in X
A/E - position in Y
W/S - position in Z
U/L - size in X
O/J - size in Y
I/K - size in Z
Z/X - rotation
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT - Move origin in 2D
T/Y - toggle origin/coordinate display

I was one of those who voted Stubbs a bust. I wish I could retract my vote. Also, I am really hoping he can go up multiple levels like Bruce did this year. If he is healthy, I don't see any reason why not.

Chattanooga up 1-0 in the third. Lecure 3 innings 2 hits 0 BB 4 SO 0 runs
keep improving thats all we ask....
Reds fan since 1970
Dragons win 6-1. T Young was touching 97 in the 9th. Stubby with a homer. Turner had 4 hits and Kainer had 2. Webb picks up the win.
Rosales homered for the 9th time since his promotion to Chattanooga. Pedro Viola continueds to impress as he fires a 1-2-3 8th inning in which he struckout two batters, giving him a 0.96 ERA and 9 strikeouts in 9.1 innings at Chattanooga. Overall, Viola has a 1.50 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 72.2 innings this season with only 48 hits allowed. Viola is going to be a stud. He'll probably begin next season in Louisville with a chance to reach Cincy sometime during the summer. He reminds me of Damaso Marte in terms of build and stuff.
Viola, along with Pelland, Bray, and Coutlangus will give the Reds some great looking lefties to choose from down the road.
Belisle pitches five strong innings before sputtering in the sixth. He only allows two singles and K's five in blanking Charlotte through five. In the sixth five singles combined with an error leads to four runs (two earned). Three were ground ball singles, while one was a bunt single. Belisle finishes the night going six innings. He permitted seven hits (all singles). He walked two and struck out seven. Todd Coffey blanked Charlotte in one inning of work. Two hits and no K's. The offense sputtered. No hits after the second inning. Joey Votto had the night off.
Sarasota with a forgettable evening loses 12-3 to Dunedin. Strait and Valaika with two hits apiece.
Let's call Belisle back up. 6 IP, 2 ER looks pretty good after this weekend.

Philosophy Events at Saint Louis University
Check out the Philosophy Department's
The department offers a wide range of opportunities for philosophical exchange and dialogue--both within the intellectual community of the department itself and with the wider philosophical community. These opportunities include colloqiua, conferences, reading groups, visiting scholars programs, as well as numerous other departmental events.
Visiting Scholars
Each year, the department welcomes a number of visiting scholars. These philosophers come to Saint Louis University under a variety of auspices including the Philosophy Colloquium Series, the Collins Visiting Professorship, the Frankfurt Exchange program, NEH research grants funded by CMRS, or by the Philosophy department jointly with other departments and schools.
Departmental Colloquia
Throughout the academic year, the Philosophy Department invites philosophers from neighboring as well as more distant universities to present and discuss their work with our faculty and graduate students. Lectures typically run for one hour with a 45 minute discussion period following. Unless otherwise noted, colloquia take place on Friday afternoons in Adorjan Hall room 142.
Wade Memorial Lecture
In conjunction with our Colloquium series, the department brings a selected scholar to campus for the annual Wade Memorial Lecture. On alternate years, the Wade Memorial Lecture is held in conjunction with the Henle Conference (see below).
The Philosophy Department hosts three regular conference series: a yearly Graduate Student Conference (organized by the PGSA and chaired by its president), the biennial Henle Conference (each chaired by a different faculty member in collaboration with the Robert J. Henle Chair in Philosophy), and the new Res Phil Conference. In addition to these reoccurring conferences, individual members of the department regularly organize and conferences devoted to philosophical topics of special interest.
Reading Groups
There are a number of reading groups which run continuously every academic year; these groups are organized around topical interests of current faculty and graduate students. At present, there are reading groups devoted to metaphysics, epistemology, history and philosophy of science, social and political philosophy, and medieval Latin philosophical texts. (On occasion, such groups have been known to sponsor "Author-Meets-Critics" sessions with philosophers whose work they have been reading.) In addition to the on-going reading groups, there are also often other groups which develop more spontaneously around a particular text or or topic of special interest.
Graduate Student Talks
Throughout the academic year graduate students present papers to fellow grads as and to faculty. These occasions provide an opportunity for graduate students to present work in progress, conference papers, or upcoming job talks.

This guy was priceless and hilarious.
I was lucky enough to see him once when he was on tour. He was the sweetest person you would know, so grateful for his fans and their laughter.
That's so young – the news said it was a pulmonary embolism aka blood clot. So sad for his fans.ReplyCancel
Oh no! I saw one of his shows and it was about how he was getting healthier! Damnit
RIP. I didn't know him, perhaps it's the time to youtube his shows.ReplyCancel
Haven't seen much of his work, but to die at a young age breaks my heart. May he rest in peace.ReplyCancel
No idea who he is but 50 is very young to die.
Frankie Knuckles last week and now him.
Make the most of your days folks. Tomorrow isn't a guarantee. Live, laugh and love.
My sister introduced me to his comedy on Youtube and I was hoping to see him at one of our casinos. He was hysterically funny. His "Free Willy" routine brought tears we laughed so hard. He made fun of his weight, so sad if it had something to do with his death. Rest in peace funny guy.ReplyCancel
No autopsy is always fishy. Sure heart and liver disease are a probable cause, but so could overdose considering he was in rehab last year.
But yes, he was a pretty funny guy.ReplyCancel
But he looks like the epitome of health. Next you'll be telling me Mickey Rooney is dead.ReplyCancel
Why you so big? You eat more vegetables, vegetables good for you. You so big, why you so big? You no come here anymore.
God I loved that bit, can't tell you how many times I've referenced that one. He'll be missed.
On the plus side, Peaches Geldoff bought the farm, too.ReplyCancel
Peaches? Really, isn't she a new mom? So sad if true. Off to google.ReplyCancel
There is no guarantee that an autopsy will find anything. My brother's came back unascertained. Some heart disease, overweight, but nothing definitive. We still believe due to his lifestyle choices his heart gave out, and that is what we tell people, easier than the speculation.ReplyCancel
You get 50 or older and weigh 300-400 pounds you do not have a lot of time left. Not a shocker. He apparently lived the way he wanted to live and went early.ReplyCancel
@TTM I know – I saw a photo of him where his jacket was absolutely hanging off of him. He must have been trying, at least.
@Louise Yr too funny!ReplyCancel
Some people struggle with weight. Try being a former 300+ pound spinster, losing the weight, having all the extra skin left over you could make a stretch mark tent for 10 out if it, and then having children afterwards. Would reak havoc on a body. Better start a food blog.ReplyCancel

Regulation and Bonding: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Flow of International Listings
Joseph D. Piotroski
Stanford Graduate School of Business
Suraj Srinivasan
Harvard Business School
January 1, 2008
Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University Working Paper No. 11
In this paper, we examine the economic impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) by analyzing foreign listing behavior onto U.S. and U.K. stock exchanges before and after the enactment of the Act in 2002. Using a sample of all listing events onto U.S. and U.K. exchanges from 1995-2006, we develop an exchange choice model that captures firm-level, industry-level, exchange-level and country-level listing incentives, and test whether these listing preferences changed following the enactment of the Act. After controlling for firm characteristics and other economic determinants of these firms' exchange choice, we find that the listing preferences of large foreign firms choosing between U.S. exchanges and the LSE's Main Market did not change following the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley. In contrast, we find that the likelihood of a U.S. listing among small foreign firms choosing between the Nasdaq and LSE's Alternative Investment Market decreased following the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley. The negative effect among small firms is consistent with these marginal companies being less able to absorb the incremental costs associated with SOX compliance. The screening of smaller firms with weaker governance attributes from U.S. exchanges is consistent with the heightened governance costs imposed by the Act increasing the bonding-related benefits of a U.S. listing.

About 200 people attended the Sept. 3 screening in Parker of a documentary critical of the Douglas County School Board's education reform efforts.
Brian Malone, a Castle Rock native and filmmaker, produced, wrote and directed "The Reformers," a 75-minute exploration of the impact of education reform on both a national and local level.
The event was presented by Taxpayers for Public Education, a nonprofit that sued to stop the Douglas County School District's voucher program. An eight-person panel discussion featuring community members, former DCSD employees and teachers' union officials followed the screening.
The documentary received a standing ovation from an audience largely critical of the current school board's directions and policies.
"It was a thrill, although I will say I'm not altogether surprised," said Malone, adding the self-funded film cost about $20,000 to make. "There's been a lot of interest and a lot of anticipation on what the film has to say."
Malone, whose two children attend DCSD schools, maintains the board is carrying out an agenda largely unsupported by parents and teachers, and that its policy changes have been poorly implemented.
The film includes local interviews with Taxpayers for Public Education board members, former DCSD Superintendent Rick O'Connell, Douglas County teachers' union president Brenda Smith, former Thunder Ridge High School teacher Brian White and several unidentified Douglas County teachers whose faces are shadowed. Four recent Douglas County high school graduates also are featured, saying some of the district changes negatively affected them as they applied to colleges.
In the film, four national experts question the research and potential for-profit motives behind school choice.
The documentary has footage from Douglas County School Board meetings, but does not include interviews with any board members, administrators or board supporters. Malone said DCSD officials repeatedly turned down his requests for interviews. The only pro-school-choice supporter interviewed is Republican former state lawmaker Nancy Spence.
DCSD spokeswoman Michelle Yi emailed a comment on behalf of the district.
"The district did not participate in the making of this film, and district officials have not seen the film," the email reads. "We are proud to empower parents with choice and offer a world-class education to all students, which includes opportunities for more collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity in our classrooms."
Malone was kicked out of an August 2012 school board meeting and charged with disrupting a lawful assembly after stepping out of a taped-off area that DCSD reserved for media. The charges later were dropped. Despite that experience, Malone maintains he approached the project with an open mind.
"It was only from the experience of shooting this film that helped me develop my opinion," he said. "I stand behind the film. And I stand behind my point of view.
"I'm tired of all the anger; we've got to move above that and beyond it. This is about getting this community to stand up (and) decide what they want for their public school system. But if this county doesn't wake up, we've got a real problem."
Future screenings of the movie are planned and Malone also is distributing free copies.
"Right now I'm just focused on getting this film in front of as many eyeballs as possible in Douglas County before the November election," he said.
The terms of four current board members expire in November.

Instead of having a billion threads, then having it go pages (if it goes that far) and pages of other's amvs/fanfics for others to never see, people who dont have the ability to make AMVs or dont/cant write stories, you can post your favorite ones here.
Post the link to a story you love from fanfiction (keep it PG-13 for those who are young and into anime, aka, keep it safe and readable!)
Post the AMV or the link to the AMV you love/like/adore/etc so much! Let others see what you think is cool in your eyes, even if they dont like it! =^_^=
This is mainly for those who cant write or make amvs, but it is also thoughs for the ones who DO make em, and found one they like, can post here to.

Donna J Gogue, 79, of Harco, passed away 10:10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 17, 2012, at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.
She was born on April 1, 1933, in Guthrie, Okla., to Henry Thomas and Bina Magdalene (Plumb) Miller. The family later moved to Missouri where Donna grew up. Donna was married to John L. Gogue on Oct. 8, 1949, in Mt. Home, Ark. He preceded her in death on Jan. 25, 2005.
Born to this union were three children, Betty (Les) Smith of Nashville, Tenn., Johnny (Betty) Gogue of Galatia and Wilma (Scott) Lambert of Harco. She has several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Brian (Patti) Gee and children, Taylor, Austin, Lauren, Kaitlyn, Emily and Kobe of Arkansas; Chris (Stacy) Gee and children, Christian and Avery of Tennessee and Amanda Knight and daughter Kindle of Kentucky; Brian (Vicki) Smith and family of Tennessee; David (Lori) Smith and family of Tennessee; Janice Somers and family of Tennessee; Brooke (Billy) Carlton and daughters Hannah and Emily of Galatia; Stephen (Nicole) Steiner and daughters Alexis, Danielle and Stephanie of Thompsonville; David (Becky) Steiner and daughters, Karleigh and Kassidy of Thompsonville; Julie Emberton and sons James and Jarod of Galatia. She is survived by a brother, Leroy Miller (Mary McNugh) of Kansas; sister Creeda Brown of Missouri; brother-in-law, Leon Gogue of Wisconsin. Also surviving are several nieces, nephews and cousins whom she loved dearly, numerous friends from church and the children she taught in Sunday School and a special friend, Charlie Bennett of West Frankfort.
